15．March 21has been declared World Sleep Day，a time to recognize and celebrate the value of  sleep  Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call．
According to a 2014poll（民意調查） by the National Sleep Foundation，nearly 4in 5Americans  don't get as much sleep as they should during the workweek On average，adults are thought to need at  least eight hours of sleep a night，although some can manage with less and some won't do well without  more．But the survey found that，on workdays，only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep，and another 21% get Iess than six
To many of us，the thought of spending more time sleeping is t  well，a big yawn  On the other  hand，the thought of being smarter，thinner，healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal．And those  are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep，researchers say Also on the plus side：We're Likely to have better skin，better memories better judgement，and，oh，yes，longer lives
"When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason   it influences your performance the next day，"said Dr Alon Avidan，director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center．
A study published last year found the same to be true even of children．When kids aged 8t0 12  slept for just one hour less for four nights，they didn't function as well during the day．
But sleeping has an image problem"We see napping or steeping as lazy，"said Jennfer Vriend，a clinical psychologist in Ottawa，Canada，and the leading author of the study with children"We put so much emphasis on diet，nutrition and exercise．Sleep is in the back seat．""In fact，"she added，"no  matter how much we work out，no matter how well we eat，we can't be in top physical shape unless we
also get plenty  of sleep"

D．To arouse the awareness of enough sleeping．

分析 作者通過一項調查說明如今的人們缺乏睡眠的現(xiàn)象十分嚴重，喚醒人們對于充足睡眠的意識．

解答 CBCAD
26：C   推斷題．由第一段第一句"March 21 has been declared World Sleep Day，a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep"可知，3月21日被宣布為世界睡眠日，是一個認識和贊美睡眠價值的日子，由此可以推之，很多睡眠專家希望可以通過這樣一個宣傳日來吸引更多人對于睡眠的關注，所以C項正確．A項"喚醒睡眠者"，B項"用作一個叫醒電話"，D項"聲明這個特殊的一天"，均不合語境．故正確答案為C．
27：B  細節(jié)題．由第二段第二句"On average，adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night…"可知，B項"成年人一天需要至少八個小時的睡眠"和文章相符，所以B項正確．故正確答案為B．
28  C  推斷題．根據(jù)第三段第二、三句"On the other hand，the thought of being smarter，thinner，healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal．And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep，researchers say"可知，變得更精明、更苗條、更健康和更愉快有十足的吸引力，而那些只是我們一直獲得足夠睡眠的眾多優(yōu)點中的幾個，由此可推知，C項"足夠的睡眠是一些很有吸引力事情的保證"符合文章說法，所以C項正確．A項，"變得更加健康對我們來說是眾多的優(yōu)點之一"，這是一個一般事實，而不是從文中推斷而出，所以A項錯誤．
B 項，"睡眠和個人期望無關"，由"the thought of being smarter，thinner，healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal"可知，睡眠與個人期望有關，所以B項錯誤．
D項，"花更多的時間睡覺是浪費時間"，與第三段的描述相悖，所以D項錯誤．
故正確答案為C．
29  A   推斷題．由最后一段第二、三、四句 Jennifer Vriend 說的話"'We see napping or sleeping as lazy，'…'We put so much emphasis on diet，nutrition and exercise．Sleep is in the back seat．'"可知，我們把打盹兒或睡覺看成懶惰，我們總是強調飲食、營養(yǎng)和鍛煉，睡眠卻拋在腦后，由此可以推知，A項"人們很少在意睡眠"符合 Jennifer Vriend 話中的意思，所以A項正確．B項，"睡眠存在一個印象問題"，是文章原話，作者通過引用 Jennifer Vriend 說的話來解釋"睡眠存在一個印象問題"，而非Jennifer Vriend 的話中暗示（imply），所以B項錯誤．
C項，"懶人往往會睡懶覺"，Jennifer Vriend 只是說人們會認為，而不是事實就是那樣，C項無法推出，所以C項錯誤．
D項，"睡眠只是我們生命的一部分"，Jennifer Vriend 說的是人們對于睡眠的印象問題和睡眠的重要性，D項無法推出，所以D項錯誤．
所以正確答案為A．
30   D   主旨題．文章第一段通過 World Sleep Day 引出睡眠問題，第二段引用一項調查說明如今的人們缺乏睡眠的現(xiàn)象十分嚴重，第三段闡述足夠的睡眠的好處，第四、五段說明缺乏睡眠的影響，最后一段通過引用 Jennifer Vriend 的話說明人們對于睡眠的刻板印象，再次強調足夠睡眠的重要性，可見，文章的目的就是為了喚醒人們對于充足睡眠的意識，所以D項正確．A項"討論人們的睡眠問題"，B項"提供睡眠的調查結果"，C項"強調夜晚睡眠的作用"，都只是文章中的部分內容，不能作為作者的寫作意圖，所以A、B、C項均錯誤．故正確答案為D．

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章主旨大意，帶著問題回到原文，尋找細節(jié)或概括相應的答案，最后要理清作者寫作思路．

6．I work in a US factory that produces 4，500refrigerators every day．There was one worker in this huge factory who always seemed just a little strange．I've seen him around for years but never paid him much attention．He is short and scruffy （不整潔的）and walks around this big old factory on his breaks collecting aluminum cans （鋁罐）．
Over the years I often ran into him as he walked to his old pickup truck on the coldest days with snow blowing and everyone with their collars turned up and their hands in their pockets．He would be there with a garbage bag full of aluminum cans．He'd toss （扔）it into the back of his truck and jump in．I'd reach my car and jump in and we'd all race to the exit of this big half-empty parking lot．
One day I was working on a broken machine in this factory and the can man came by with his bag，picking up cans．Our manager was standing there because the machine I was working on had been"down"for a couple of hours and he was getting worried that we might run out of parts for one of the assembly lines （裝配線）．
As I was finishing，I stood up just as the manager asked the can man what he did with all those cans．I'd never thought to ask him that question because I always just assumed he cashed them in at the recycling center．
"I give them to my neighbor．He's epileptic （有癲癇病的），"the can man said．
"You mean you've been collecting all those cans for all these years for your neighbor？"I blurted out．
"It's not much，"he said．"But I give them to him．He can't hold a job．"
Right then and there I found myself looking straight at him．He was wearing a T-shirt and an old red baseball cap and he had a garbage bag full of aluminum cans in his hand．I don't even know his name，but I thank him for the lesson he taught me．

59．How did the author like the can man at first？D
A．He found the man very kind hearted．
B．He didn't like making friends with the man．
C．He thought it would be better to stay away from the man．
D．He thought the man was strange because he was always collecting cans．
60．What does the underlined phrase"blurted out"probably mean？A
A．spoke out without thinkingB．screamed because of fear
C．complained angrilyD．shouted cheerfully
61．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article？D
A．The can man was actually an engineer．
B．The author made friends with the can man on a cold day．
C．The boss was angry seeing the man always picking up cans．
D．The author admired the can man when he knew the truth．
62．What does the author intend to tell us with the story？A
A．Never judge a person by his appearance．B．Helping your neighbor is helping yourself．

3．Are you good with money？I learnt to be careful with it during my childhood．My father would give me some pocket money and tell me it should last for a whole week．So，I learnt I had to save some if I didn't want to run out of cash quickly．No surprise there：my dad was an accountant!
It's never too early to become money savvy （會理財）．That's what British personal finances expert Martin Lewis thinks．He was part of a successful campaign to include financial education on the school curriculum in England．It will be embedded（植入）in maths and citizenship education．This includes children from 5to 16years old．
Lewis says："We desperately need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy（無知）in the UK-one of the causes of our current economic crisis and a huge contributor to continued misselling epidemics （違規(guī)銷售）．"
Being careful with money pays off．Banks in Britain recently found themselves having to pay a large number of people who were persuaded to spend money and buy insurance policies they didn't need．Many wasted their money on investments which were not for them．Few have the patience to read the small print．
The British say‘take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves'．It means you have to watch your daily expenses and not just the big purchases in your life such as houses．
Martin Lewis has made millions from his website which advises people to be thrifty（節(jié)儉） and refuses any suggestion that he is mean．The expert says in an interview with the English newspaper the Daily Express："the better you are with your cash，the better your life can be．People think I am telling them to stop spending money but I am simply telling them to spend it wisely．"

32．From Paragraph 1we can know that the authorD．
A．ran out of cash quickly    B．earned a lot of money
C．was in deep debt           D．was good with money as a child
33．The financial education in England aims toC．
A．help children make money
B．deal with the current economic crisis
C．educate children to become money savvy
D．avoid continued misselling epidemics
34．What's the financial problem of some people in Britain？A
A．They invest money blindly and unwisely．
B．They neglect big purchases．
C．They have no patience to spend money．
D．They watch their daily expenses．
35．What does the author mainly tell us？B
A．Financial illiteracy is the cause of economic crisis．
B．Take care of money and life will be better．
C．Financial education must be included in schoo1．
D．People should learn to be thrifty and mean．

Now I've got a full-time job there．I shall always be thankful to Megan．Iwish I had known earlier that you could have a career，even if you aren't top of the class at school．

20．Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house．As they were working，a couple of older boys stopped by to watch．
"What are you doing？"asked one of the visitors．
"We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!"one of the brothers said excitedly．
The older boys began to laugh，telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible．After a long silence，one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders，worms and all kinds of other insects．He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing（嘲笑）visitors．Then he said quietly and confidently，"Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth，look what we found along the way!"
Their goal was far too ambitious（有野心的），but it did cause them to dig．And that is what a goal is for-to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen； in other words，to set us to digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved．Not every job will end successfully．Not every relationship will endure（長久持續(xù)）．Not every dream will be realized．But when you fall short of your aim，perhaps you can say，"Yes，but look at what I found along the way!Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!"
It is in the digging that life is lived．And I believe it is joy in the journey，in the end，that truly matters．
21．Which of the following is NOT the reason why the older boys laughed at the two brothers？A
A．The two brothers only dug out a lot of insects  B．The two brothers lacked knowledge of the earth．
C．The two brothers were foolish．D．The two brothers had a far too ambitious goal．
22．What does the underlined part"when you fall short of your aim"probably mean？C
A．When you are shorter than you expected
B．When you have less than the amount than you wanted
C．When you fail to obtain（得到）what you expected
D．When you miss the target you are aiming at
23．The passage is written toD．
A．tell readers a story                        
B．teach readers how to set a goal
C．praise the two brothers                    
D．teach readers a lesson
24．Which would be the best title for the passage？B
A．Dig a Hole Through the Earth
