【題目】Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock 1 Here is how to make one.

2 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.

Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags.3 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.

Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating (彌補) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found.4

Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.5 If rot, take another look at other methods you could try.

A. Gel a sleep specialist.

B. Find the right motivation.

C. A better plan for sleep can help.

D. And consider setting a second alarm.

E. If the steps you take arc working, keep it up.

F. Slick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the clay it is.

G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.

【答案】

2B

3G

4F

5E

【解析】本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了如何幫助人們制定計劃調節(jié)生物鐘確保起床不再是一件令人頭痛的事情。

1考察對上下文語境的理解?涨熬湟猓菏聦嵣希缙鹑菀椎年P鍵在于你的生物鐘?蘸缶湟猓哼@里是如何制作一個。故這里C(一個更好的睡眠計劃是有幫助的。)符合上下文,故選C。

2考察對上下文語境的理解。本段內容是建議人們要先確定為什么要早起,早起的目的是什么,也就是早起的動機是什么。由此推斷B(找到合適的動機。)可以概括本段中心。

3考察對上下文語境的理解。根據(jù)下句內容可知,作者建議人們買一個可以定時的咖啡機,這樣可以節(jié)約15分鐘的喝咖啡時間,能夠多睡15分鐘,文中的a quarter-hour 和選項中的15 minutes呼應,是信息提示詞。故選G(重新考慮你在咖啡館排隊15分鐘買咖啡。)。

4考察對上下文語境的理解。根據(jù)段落小標題可知,本段是建議人們在周末也要堅持自己的作息時間,由此推斷Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.(無論哪天,堅持你設置的睡覺和起床時間。和本段標題意思相同。故選F。

5考察對上下文語境的理解。下句建議人們如果這樣做沒作用的話就嘗試新的辦法,由此推斷該空與If not對應,提出如果有效果的話如何去做。故選E(如果你采取的措施有作用的話,就要堅持。)。

【題目】The British----and especially the English----are bad at complaining. Because of British politeness rules, according to which conflict should be avoided, people either just do not complain, or sometimes bottle it up and then outpour it in another way in other umimportant situations. In fact, there is a TV programme which show the British in typical situations where they would be perfectly reasonable in complaining, but they don’t. In one scene, a woman reads a newspaper over people’s shoulders and the people say nothing or look embarrassed.

The British are also well-known for putting up with bad service everywhere from restaurants to airports and railway stations because the standard rules of behaviour say that it is bad to draw attention to yourself. This is why, when you travel on the tube in London and there is yet another delay, the passengers will look at each other, sigh, smile wearily and raise their eyes to heaven. They might even say, “Huh! Typical!” in a resigned(順從的)tone of voice that says that there’s nothing that can be done about it. When complaints are made, they are made in an apologetic or a humorous tone of voice. In France ,on the other hand, angry passengers might riot(鬧事)and burn down the subway station if they had to put up with the poor service that the London underground provides.

Americans and other Europeans, who are much more direct and in-your-face than the British, often wonder why British people always say “sorry” or “excuse me” when they complain. “It’s like they’re apologizing for something that isn’t their fault, they say. They are missing the point. British people are not really sorry ---it is because the word ‘sorry’ actually works as a distancing skill. This is important in terms of negative politeness and not drawing attention to yourself. If you do not say ‘sorry’ or use other distancing words like ‘could’, ‘would’, ‘might’, ‘possibly’ and so on, you will be seen as rude.”

1What does the underlined part “bottle it up” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Put something into bottles B. Not do anything dangerous

C. Cause problems by hesitating D. Not allow emotions to be seen

2The French tend to _______.

A. tolerate bad service B. enjoy taking the subway

C. make a complaint humorously D. express their dissatisfaction directly

3When the British say “sorry”, they actually want to _______.

A. try not to be rude B. apologize sincerely

C. show their feelings directly D. draw attention to themselves

4Which can be the best title for the text?

A. How to complain B. Complaining politely

C. Poor service in Britain D. Politeness rules across the world
