Every year, there is a day for people around the world to celebrate the1 (important) of good and healthy sleepWorl

13、d Sleep Day.Sleep is like food for the brain. Healthy sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. People of different ages need different amounts of sleep. It is said that eight hours per night2 (consider) the average amount of sleep. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight

14、to nine hours per night. However, last year, the China Youth and Children Research Center 3 (report) that about four4 (five) of middle school students didnt get enough sleep. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep 5 (worry) about their schoolwork and cant fall 6 (sleep) quickly.

15、A lack (缺乏) of sleep can greatly affect (影响) a persons life. Students who dont get enough sleep may get poor grades. They cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports.7 (solve) this kind of problem, scientists advise that students should have8 (little) schoolwork and more time to sleep. There

16、are some other ways to help people get enough sleep, such as 9 (take) a 20-minute nap (午睡) during the day, trying to go to sleep earlier and so on . Good sleeping habits are also 10 (help). For example, try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during the day. 阅

17、读理解A13、The government in China plans to end its one-child policy and let families have two children instead. The change is meant to balance population development， stop a falling birth rate( 出生率) and strengthen(增加) the countrys labor force(劳动力).China， with the largest population in the world， starte

18、d the one child policy in 1980. But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children. For example， some families in the countryside could have two children， if the first-born child is a girl.In 2013， the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if

19、 one of them was an only child.At the end of 2014， China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them have jobs. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years. That is to say， the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the two-child policy， a

20、n increase in births can solve this problem.But too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child. Boys and girls， what do you think of the two-child policy? Do you want to have a new-born brother or a sister?1Why does the government plan to end the one-child poli

21、cy?ABecause we need a larger population.BBecause millions of people have jobs.CBecause most families want to have a second child.DBecause a falling birth rate must be stopped.2The meaning of “two-child policy” is_.A二胎政策 B两个小孩 C二孩策略 D二孩保险3When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one-c

DIn 20704What may happen after we have the two-child policy?AThere will be more old people.BThe labor market population will drop.CAlmost every family will have a second child.DThe population development will be balanced.B14、What does your face say

23、?How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as people from different cultures?New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However, how these expressions are understood might dep

24、end on where you are from.Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Until now, it was widely believed that six basic emotions happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust (厌恶), were expressed and recognized

25、across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgows work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish, especially when they are first expressing on the face. Fear and surprise, for example

26、,both share wide-open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look thesame.So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate more complex (复杂的) feelings? The study found that the way expressions are explained is different in different cultures. Lead

27、researcher Dr Rachael Jack was studying this because “facial expressions were considered to be general”, she explains. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, they found that although there are some common

28、characteristics across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized by everyone.“We said we dont know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations (组合) of facial movements and show to Chinese researchers and ask the

29、m to choose the ones they think are disgust faces.”With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explains that these facial expressions have developed both from biology and social e

30、volution(进化).What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? “This work leads to understanding which emotions we share, realizing our differences and calling attention to our multicultural experiences.” This research could advise new ways of social communication that improve c

31、ross-cultural interactions.1What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?ATo show interest in different cultures.BTo express the worries about emotions.CTo lead in the topic of facial expressions.DTo give an example of facial expressions.2The word “distinguish” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.Aex

34、d went to look for its happiness in the distance.It flew and flew when it suddenly saw a little wilting flower, whose face was full of smile.

38、hy dont you have pain but happiness on your face?As long as I keep making my efforts, there is still hope to climb up it. Because of this, I m so delighted, said the spider.Then the little bird saw it. happiness is a faith in the heart.So the little bird pursued happiness no longer because it had se

When we get old, our short-term memory becomes weaker, but we can still remember things that happened a long time ago. There are many things we can do to improve our memory, such

43、as using various memorizing methods as well as taking special care of our health.It is important that we regularly stimulate(刺激) our brain to make our memory more efficient(有效). For example, we can do activities that we do not usually do and change our daily habits. Learning a new skill helps our br

44、ain develop.When trying to memorize something, we should focus our attention on the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter our mind because this will lower our chances of remembering things correctly.One basic way of improving our memory is to use the link method. If we

45、 want to memorize something, we should make a picture in our mind. If the picture is silly, strange and colourful, we will remember it better.Taking notes, being organized and keeping a diary will also be useful tools.Sometimes, memory is connected with our feelings. When something dramatic happens,

46、 we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing.Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are important to our memory. Drinking a lot of water also helps maintain our memory.When we are asleep, our brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can, therefore, cause problems

56、ction film, television and book, and developed by J.R.R. Tolkien himself, Elvish is made up with several thousand words and different sentence structures.Constructed languages (人造语言) like Elvish are real languages, made up of thousands of words created by fantasy writers, linguists and fans, with re

57、al language rules. While a widespread vocabulary is advantageous to a constructed language, there is a key differentiator (区分者) we can see between just a lot of words and real language: Grammar.Grammar is what makes constructed languages like Elvish learnable by everyday superfans. Superfans of The

58、Lord of the Rings have built websites and created dictionaries, apps and translators, to teach Elvish. They have also created online clubs where fans can discuss and even create new words based on the already existing vocabulary, and continue to study the language.So what does it take to be a master

59、 of Elvish?In learning Elvish, there are a couple of grammatical rules similar to those of the English language. For example, in order to make a verb past tense in English, you have to add an -ed, making wash, washed. Similarly in Elvish, in order to change the word for wash, which is allu, to the p

60、ast tense then you have to add an -ne to the word. So washed is then translated to allune in past tense.Nouns in Elvish are different in the way that the noun changes depending on how its used in a sentence, just like in Latin or Russian. For example, the word head in Elvish is CAS. However, if you
