Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time, about eight hours after you wake up, your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later. In many parts of the world, people take naps（小睡）in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short napeven ten minutes of sleep can be helpful. 21. Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text? A. They eat too much for lunch. B.

Just for a Rest B. Taking Naps in SummerC. A Sleep Pattern D. Taking Naps in Warmer ClimateB.For many women inventors in years past, the invention process was twice as difficult because, in addition to the suffering of inventing, they also faced the skepticism (怀疑) of a world that didnt believe women could create something of value. Fortunately, over the years, that opinion has been defeated by women inventors like Margaret Knight, who were willing to fight for the praise and recognition.Born in Maine in 1838, Margaret Knight showed an interest in inventing from a very young age. After observing an accident in a factory at the age of 12, Margaret started to produce her first invention. She invented a device that would automatically (自动地) stop a machine if something got caught in it. By the time she was a teenager the invention was being used in the mills.Later, Margaret went to work in a paper bag factory. While working in the factory, she thought how much easier it would be to pack items in paper bags if the bottoms were flat. That idea inspired her to invent the machine that would change her into a famous inventor. Margarets machine made the flat-bottom paper bags that are still used to this day in most grocery stores.However, a man named Charles Annan tried to steal Margarets idea. Not one to give in without a fight, Margaret took Annan to court (法庭) to compete for the patent (专利) that belonged to her. While Annan argued simply that a woman could never design such a machine, Margaret showed evidence that the invention indeed belonged to her. As a result, Margaret received her patent.Margaret didnt stop there though; throughout her lifetime she had lots of different inventions including a rotary engine, a shoe-cutting machine and a dress and skirt shield. 25. In Margarets time _.A. women inventors were not welcomed B. women were not allowed to invent anythingC. people didnt believe women could invent anything valuable D. Margaret was the only woman inventor who was recognized26. We can infer from the text that _.A. Margaret Knights first invention proved unsuccessful B. Margaret Knight was injured in an accident at the age of 12C. Margaret Knight was helped by Charles Annan in her invention of the paper bag machineD. Margaret Knight received the patent for the invention of the paper bag machine with difficulty 27. Margaret Knight became famous for her invention of _.A. a paper bag machine B. a rotary engine C. a shoe-cutting machineD. a dress and skirt shield28. What would be the best title for the text?A. How the paper bag machine was invented B. How Margaret Knight received her first patentC. A woman inventor Margaret KnightD. Paper bag machine a big inventionC. A lot of us enjoy doing it: you turn on the camera on your mobile phone and hold it at a high position, making your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones more marked out. You turn to your best side and click. There it is - your selfie. Over the past year, “selfie” has become a well-known term across the globe. This August the Oxford dictionary added the word to their online dictionary and defined it as: “A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.” Today its not difficult to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves and their friends. And selfie culture has become especially related to young people. As many as 91 percent of teenagers have posted photos of themselves online, according to a recent survey by the US Pew Research Center. So what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture? “The craze of the selfie celebrates regular people,” Pamela Rutledge, a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, told Vogue magazine,“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.” Posting selfies also allows you to control your image online. “I like having the power to choose how I look, even if Im making a funny face,” Samantha Barks, 19, a high school student in the US, told Vogue. In addition, selfies “allow for a close friendship for long-distance friends, because you can see each others faces every day”, wrote Casey Miller at The Huffington Post. But US psychologist Jill Weber is concerned that selfies might lead to social problems. “Theres a danger that your self-esteem （自尊心） may start to be tied to the comments and likes you get when you post a selfie, and they arent based on who you are -theyre based on what you look like,” Weber told Vogue. “When you get nothing or a negative response, your confidence can plummet.” 29. The first paragraph is intended to _. A. introduce the topic of selfieB. describe how to enjoy selfie C. show the importance of selfieD. explain why selfie is popular 30. How many reasons for the rise of selfie culture are mentioned in the passage? A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four 31. What is Jill Webers opinion about selfies? A. Comments on selfie are based on who you are. B. Others response to selfies might affect ones self-esteem. C. Selfies have more disadvantages than advantages. D. Selfies shouldnt be encouraged for they lead to social problems. 32. The underlined word “plummet” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _. A. put upB. calm downC. pick upD. go downD.When a big exam is coming up, you probably feel anxious about any wasted time and want to begin school as soon as you probably can.But tens of thousands of British high school students will soon be getting up later. Theyre taking part in a new experiment by Oxford University to see if later classes can improve their exam results.Grades 10 students in the UK have to take the nationwide General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams. They have to pass these exams in order to study more advanced courses, and later apply for universities.The Oxford University project means that GCSE students from more than 100 schools across England will start school at 10 am, more than one hour later than the current start time (8:50 am).The project is based on scientific evidence that teenagers are “out of sync(同步)” with traditional school hours, the Telegraph reported. And what they need is more sleep in the morning.“We know that something funny happens when youre a teenager, in that you seem to be out of sync with the world,” said professor Colin Epsie, who is leading the study. “Your parents think its because you are lazy and opinionated（固执己见的）and everything will be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.”Everyone follows a natural cycle of sleep and wakefulness. Biology has decided that teenagers go to sleep around midnight and dont feel fully awake until 9-10 am, according to scientists. Thats two hours later than adults. And their body clocks stay like this until the age of around 21 for males, and 19 for females.“Society provides school for learning, but the brain provides sleep. So we are exploring the possibility that if you delay the schools start time until 10 am, that will improve learning performance,” said Epsie.The results could be positive, based on previous studies.An early study at the UKs Monkseaton High School in 2009 found that starting an hour later improved grades in core subjects by 19 percent.The Oxford project is expecting to publish the results in 2018. Its time to wait and see whether scientists will give us an excuse to get up late.33. According to the article, students who take part in the Oxford University project_. A. will start school one hour earlierB. will no longer have to take GCSE examsC. will perform better academically than those who dont participateD. will be guaranteed more sleeping time in the morning34. What is the authors attitude toward the Oxford University project ?A Critical B. Optimistic C. Doubtful D. Uninterested35 Whats the best title of the article ?A. Wake up late to excel（优于，胜过） B. Its never too late to learnC. The later you get up, the better youll learn D. An excuse to get up late第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography（密码学）. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example, Lets number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13520135.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。With his leg lame(瘸的)and his teeth uneven(参差不齐的), the boy almost thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world.
