【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。本文主要講述了新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),不僅傷心的事情可以引起心碎綜合征,令人開心的事情同樣也可以。但還需要進(jìn)一步的研究來(lái)確定這兩種事件在中樞神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)中,是否具有引起Takotsubo綜合征的相同途徑。

1考查動(dòng)名詞。分析句子可知,此處應(yīng)用die的動(dòng)名詞作為句子主語(yǔ),故填Dying。

2考查副詞。此處應(yīng)用副詞修飾動(dòng)詞call,故填officially。

3考查固定句型。分析句子可知,此處考查固定句型 cause sb./sth. to do sth.“致使某人/某物做某事”,故填to expand

4考查名詞。根據(jù)a判斷,此處應(yīng)填可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)形式,故填argument。

5考查形容詞。分析句子可知,此處應(yīng)用形容詞修飾名詞events,又此處意為“令人高興的事情,故填delightful。

6考查時(shí)態(tài)。此處是句子謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知“收集”發(fā)生在過(guò)去,應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí),故填collected。

7考查冠詞。此處考查固定表達(dá)a total of“總數(shù)為”,故填a。

8考查定語(yǔ)從句。分析句子可知,此處是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句關(guān)系詞,先行詞happy heart syndrome在從句中充當(dāng)causes的定語(yǔ),應(yīng)用關(guān)系代詞whose,故填whose

9考查形容詞。句意:另外一個(gè)有趣的發(fā)現(xiàn)是TTS通常影響女性。根據(jù)句意可知,此處用形容詞another“另一個(gè)的”符合語(yǔ)境,故填Another。

10考查比較級(jí)。句意:還需要進(jìn)一步的研究來(lái)確定這兩種事件在中樞神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)中,是否具有引起Takotsubo綜合征的相同途徑。根據(jù)句意可知,此處用further studies“進(jìn)一步的研究”符合語(yǔ)境,故填Further。

【題目】Sleep Tips: Steps to Better Sleep

Think about all the factors that can influence a good night’s sleep from work stress and family responsibilities to unexpected challenges. 1 While you might not be able to control the factors that affect your sleep, you can adopt habits that encourage better sleep.

Stick to a sleep schedule.

The recommended amount of sleep for a healthy adult is at least seven hours. Most people don’t need more than eight hours in bed to achieve this goal. 2 Try to limit the difference in your sleep schedule on weeknights and weekends to no more than one hour. If you don’t fall asleep within about 20 minutes, leave your bedroom and do something relaxing. Go ahead to bed when you’re tired. Repeat as needed.

Pay attention to what you eat and drink.

Don’t go to bed hungry or full. In particular, avoid heavy or large meals within a couple of hours of bedtime. 3 Nicotine, coffee and alcohol deserve caution, too. The stimulating effects of nicotine and caffeine take hours to disappear. And even though alcohol might make you feel sleepy, it can interrupt sleep later in the night.

Create a restful environment.

Create a room that’s ideal for sleeping. Often, this means cool, dark and quiet. 4 Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs.

Limit daytime naps.

Long daytime naps can affect nighttime sleep. If you choose to nap, limit yourself to up to 30 minutes and avoid doing so late in the day. If you work nights, however, you might need to nap late in the day before work to help make up for sleep debt.

5

Regular physical activity can promote better sleep. Avoid being active too close to bedtime it raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed. However, spending time outside every day might be helpful, too.

A.Your discomfort might keep you up.

B.It’s no wonder that quality sleep is sometimes difficult to get.

C.Sleeping with light on might make it more challenging to fall sleep.

D.Go to bed and get up at the same time every day.

E.Know how to manage worries.

F.Include physical activity in your daily routine.

G.Read or listen to relaxing music.

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Most people don’t need science to appreciate the importance of a mother’s love.

But to understand how early maltreatment can derail a child’s development requires careful study. In a famous research, Harry Harlow had demonstrated that proper psychological and physical development of infants requires nurturing and attention from a parent. 1 In that research, socially isolated monkey babies that were removed from their mothers were found to be clinging to a cloth-covered surrogate(替代的) mother for comfort.

Such experimentations sound cruel. They, however, have been critical in helping change policies in human orphanages( 孤兒院 ) in the U.S. For centuries some orphanages treated infants equally inhumanely. Despite early evidence that orphanage infants were far more likely to die than others, supporters argued that it didn’t matter whether children had “parents” specially devoted to them at the orphanage. 2 Orphans were supposed to be in positive mental and physical health until adoptive parents were found. Babies, they said, couldn’t remember anyway.

The harrowing consequences of these theories were most vividly brought to light in Romania in the 1980s and ‘90s. A ban on abortion(流產(chǎn) ) led to a surge in orphanage babies. Simply being fed and changed without individualized affection, some babies present serious problems. Many developed violent behaviors, repetitively rocking or banging their heads. Some were cold and withdrawn or indiscriminately affectionate. 3 Their head sizes were especially small.

They even had problems with attention and comprehension. The longer these children were left alone, the more damage was seen.

The lack of a secure attachment relationship in the early years has destructive consequences for both physical and mental health later in life, with long-lasting effects. The persistence of these effects emphasizes the need to intervene early in life. The Nobel-prize-winning economist James Heckman, has long argued that investing in early childhood education provides a greater return for society than virtually any other type of spending. It is obviously reflected in increased educational success and productivity,. The reduced crime, addiction, distress and disorder point to the same theory. Early life conditions critically affect adult life. 4 Remove it and the harm is great.

A. The appropriate feeding and caring styles were greatly rewarded in all aspects.

B. It was claimed that simply feeding and changing them would be adequate.

C. Some, however, demonstrate little influence with roughly ordinary behavior pattern.

D. Maternal attachment plays a fundamental role in shaping who we are.

E. Necessities are not just the availability of food and water.

F. And they simply didn’t grow like normal infants.
