Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was not something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine.

According to scientists, the thought isnt as unbelievable as it seems.A study found going without sleep for just one night causes changes in the brain similar to those that happen after a blow to the head. The researchers said the healthy young men examined in the study showed a sudden rise in the same chemicals which indicate(表明) brain damage. Professor Christian Benedict, of Uppsala University, Sweden, explained that the chemicals NSE and S-100B are biomarkers(生物指标) for brain damage, such as concussion(脑震荡). He said, “What we found was their levels in the blood rose in the group that went without sleep for a night. This was not to the degree that would happen after a head injury, for example, but it was still worth paying attention to. During sleep, the brain cleans itself of poisonous substances.” He said the findings support the previous research showing how the brain makes use of sleep to clean itself.Professor Benedict also said his study could support previous studies which linked a lack of sleep with increased risk of Alzheimers and Parkinsons diseases. The rise of the chemicals in the blood after sleep loss may suggest not getting enough sleep leads to a loss of brain tissue, he explained. Professor Benedict, whose study is published in the journal Sleep, added, “In conclusion, the findings of our trial indicate a good nights sleep may be very important for keeping brain health.”A third of the UK population suffer from sleep-related problems, while the average person now sleeps for only seven hours a night, compared with almost nine a few decades ago. Many scientists believe irregular sleeping patterns lead to illnesses ranging from aches and pains to heart disease, while less than eight hours sleep a night can lower the IQ the next day.12. If you dont sleep for a night, what will happen?A. There will be a rise in the chemicals NSE and S-100BB. The chemicals NSE and S-100B will drop to a lower levelC. Some of the chemicals NSE and S-100B will change into other mattersD. The chemicals NSE and S-100B will be less able to get rid of poisonous matters13. What is the previous study mainly about according to the passage?A. The way to avoid brain damageB. The ways to improve the quality of sleepC. The ways that have effect on peoples sleepD The way the brain uses sleep to clean itself14. We can we infer from the last paragraph that .A. mans intelligence is affected by sleep in a wayB. people who need more sleep have a higher IQC. one fourth of the UK population have sleep-related problemsD. modern people need less sleep than those a few decades ago15.

In the beginning, when I didnt understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion(困惑)._20_Firstly, translating creates a barrier(障碍) between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didnt pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.AAnd listening is a problem for most of the beginners!BListen for the general idea of the conversation.CHowever, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.DSo, what you need to do is to find listening resources.EThen, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.FWhat should you do?GBut you cant follow a native English speaker at all!第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题2分，满分40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。Few other nations are so much interested in horse racing as the English.
