But at the age of 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as interruptions in their daily routines.In general, these “short sleepers” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or worked fullor parttime while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their family, friends and so on.When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar situation, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients.The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. The research shows that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally robbed of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers”1According to the report, _.Amany “short sleepers” needed less sleep before they were teenagersBmany “short sleepers” were forced to reduce their nightly sleep timeCmany “long sleepers” were quite concerned when they slept 9 hoursDmany “long sleepers” had kept their sleeping habits since childhood2Many “short sleepers” were likely to hold the view that _.Asleep could make people appear active and cheerfulBsleep was the least important on their daily routinesCthey were acceptable to all their friends and familyDthey were less extreme than many mental patients3It can be concluded from the third paragraph that _.A“short sleepers” dealt with the psychological trouble themselvesB“short sleepers” were unwilling to face psychological problemsC“short sleepers” shortened the sleeping time because of pressuresD“short sleepers” would rather remember than forget their dreams4What is the purpose of writing this passage?ATo introduce the result of a recent research.BTo advise people to sleep for a longer time.CTo show the disadvantages of short sleeping.DTo explain the advantages of long sleeping.V、七选五（2016高考模拟选编）下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句(第15题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出适合各段落的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。AWe dont care about the things we get easily.BIt takes time and effort to be an expert in any area.CWe should stick to rules undoubtedly and bravely.DSometimes we have to ignore or break the regulations.EIt takes great amount of courage to take the road less traveled.FYou dont have to live your life in a way society wants you to.Most of the time，we learn the lessons from the old and wise as they have already been where we are and have done what we do.But rarely does life teach us something in an easy way.It always takes tests and then fails for us to learn anything worthwhile.Here are five life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.1_People usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it will.First and foremost，keep in mind that people refer only to those who have already achieved what you want to be，which most people fail to do.They look at other unsuccessful people and apply those criteria to them even before they take action.Look at any successful person and youll notice one thing common in all of them.They took time to learn and mastered their craft like no one else.There is no elevator to success; you have to take the stairs.2_Decades of old beliefs，customs and practices are being performed these days and are followed blindly without being questioned.Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they dont want because other children have selected that career.Girls are made to follow some practices in their family which makes no sense to them at all.Worst of all，people follow them without even asking.There is no harm in old customs and beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest，sooner or later youll realize that you should first do what you think is right.3_Undoubtedly，this is true in all the areas of life.Take health for example.Very few people take their health seriously.They know that if their health is lost，they wont be happy，still they eat junk food and never exercise，keep accumulating fat and keep spending on weight loss programs.Still nothing works.Why? The real reason behind is that they have got health for free.We spend thousands on cars and take care of them nicely.Imagine what would have been the price of human body if we had to pay for it? And then imagine how well we would take care of it if we had paid a huge amount of money to get our body.4_More often，we are always asking ten people before taking any step.We always want to confirm that we are sure and do not make any mistake.We follow the same path that everyone suggests，do the same thing everyone does，and hang out with the same people we work with.Why? Because we are scared.But when you get bored of life，you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different from anyone elses out there in the world.However it always takes a tremendous amount of guts to follow your own trail.5_Rules are everywhere.We follow rules so that things are in order and no one is disturbed unnecessarily.This is true in case of traffic and other company rules but when it comes to your life，there are rules made by people who are scared to do something apart from their routine and therefore they made rules to prevent others doing so.But when time passes by and you think you are not being directed towards your goal and these so called rules are your biggest obstacles，break them down. Sometimes，we need to be bold and act courageously.VI、短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。Three years ago, I became a student in an ordinary school Disappointing as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, I find the teachers patient and considerate However, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class I decided to make the best for it I worked hardly and got along well with teachers and classmates Whenever I had difficulties, they were always available Soon, I became one of the top student in my class, what greatly increased my confidence and I got more motivatedMy experience tells me that it is not what you are given but that how you use it that determine who you areI. 根据下列句子意思用所给词的正确形式或所给汉语填空1. relationship 2. advanced 3. solution 4. impressive 5. accelerated 6. gradually 7. calculation 8.
