試題本文講述我們需要多少時間的睡眠，很多人會患有失眠癥很多名人也不例外。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段提到After the age of fifty, the average sleeping time goes down to 6.5 hours a night.可知50之后每晚睡6.5個小時。故選C項。

【2】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中提到King Louis XI V (國王路易十四) of France had four hundred and thirteen beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them他是法國人可得知A錯誤。根據(jù)第三段提到Many famous people in history had insomnia, too.許多名人也會失眠故B項正確。Benjamin Franklin, the famous inventor, had four beds. He moved(移動) from one to another to fall asleep.他是個著名的發(fā)明家，而不是作家，故C項錯誤。根據(jù)第一段提到Benjamin Franklin, the famous inventor, had four beds. He moved(移動) from one to another to fall asleep.50歲以后才會睡眠6.5小時故D項錯誤。

【3】A 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)最后一段提到King Louis XI V (國王路易十四) of France had four hundred and thirteen beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them他有四百三十多張床，希望能在某張床上快速睡著。.故選A項。

【4】C 猜測詞意。根據(jù)第二段Most people have a bad night when they can’t fall asleep (入睡). The name of this problem is called insomnia 許多人晚上不睡不著，這個問題的名字叫失眠，故選C項。

【5】B 段落大意。第一段首先通過發(fā)問的形式提到我們需要多少的睡眠，這是不同的，有的人長有的人短，美國人平均7個小時，而等待50歲后是6.5個小時，可知在講我們需要多少時間睡眠。故B項符合題意。
