Question

【题目】 Many of us have developed the bad habit of staying up late. It is_______for our health.

The Sleep Research Center at the University of Surrey found a direct link_______the time of sleeping and genes （基因). Each cell （细胞) in our bodies _____some information in our DNA that acts as a kind of operating instruction. ______, each cell only reads a part of the instruction it needs. Professor DerkJan Dijk asked,“Can ______affect how a gene reads instructions?” He carried out an experiment and asked his ______to spend a week sleeping around seven hours to eight hours a night. And then the next week he______them to sleep six to seven hours a night.

Blood samples were taken each week to compare______genes were in blood cells. They were being used during the long and ______nights.

It is clear that changing the time of sleeping can______our genes, which influence our health. And we may fall______more easily when we sleep less. The important message is that getting sleep about eight hours a night can make an exciting _____to our health in just a few days. It is in this way that it_______our genes. So stop staying up late to listen to______broadcast, read one more chapter, have one more drink or do a little bit more work.______you don’t think it will make some differences, you will regret. Anyway, going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit.

本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了熬夜对基因的影响。

1. 考查形容词词义辨析。句意为：这对我们的健康是________。real真实的；easy容易的；kind善良的；bad坏的。从上句“Many of us have developed the bad habit of staying up late.”可知，作者认为熬夜是一种坏习惯，对我们的健康不好。故选D。

2. 考查介词词义辨析。句意为：萨里大学的睡眠研究中心发现，睡眠时间与基因之间有直接联系。between 两者之间；around （在三者及三者以上）之间；in在……里面；under在……下面。分析语境可知，空格处指“两者之间”。故选A。

3. 考查动词词义辨析。句意为：我们身体的每个细胞________我们DNA的信息，这些信息充当操作指令的角色。hurts 伤害；makes制造；carries携带；goes去。根据语境可知空格处意指“携带信息”。故选C。

4. 考查副词词义辨析。句意为：________，每个细胞只读取它需要指令的一部分。However然而；Especially尤其是；Luckily幸运地；Quietly安静地。联系上句“Each cell（细胞） in our bodies 3 some information in our DNA that acts as a kind of operating instruction.”可知，本句与上句之间是转折关系。因此“However”用在这里符合语境，指每个细胞自身具有缺陷性。故选A。

5. 考查名词词义辨析。句意为：________会影响基因如何读取指令吗？ study学习；play玩耍；sleep 睡眠；sing唱歌。从上文“The Sleep Research Center at the University of Surrey found a direct link between the time of sleeping and genes.”可知选C。

6. 考查名词词义辨析。句意为：他做了一个实验，让他的________一周每晚睡七到八个小时。workers工人们；volunteers志愿者们；doctors医生们； students学生们。这里描述的是教授做实验的方法，实验主体应该是参与实验的志愿者们。故选B。

7. 考查动词词义辨析。句意为：然后下一周，他________他们每晚睡六到七个小时。asked问，要求；stopped阻止；prepared准备；enjoyed享受。联系上句，教授先让志愿者每晚睡七到八个小时，第二周再让他们每晚睡六到七个小时。故选A。

8. 考查疑问词词义辨析。句意为：每周抽取血液样本对比________基因在血细胞中。what 什么；which哪些；how怎样；why为什么。分析语境可知指“哪些”。故选B。

9. 考查形容词词义辨析。句意为：它们在漫长而________黑夜中被使用。 small小的；dark黑暗的； short短的；brave勇敢的。根据语境可知指“在漫长而黑暗的夜里”。故选B。

10. 考查动词词义辨析。句意为：很明显，改变睡眠时间可以________我们的基因，影响我们的健康。eat吃掉；change 改变；bring带来；sell出售。从“which influence our health”可知，改变睡眠时间可以改变我们的基因，从而影响我们的健康。故选B。

11. 考查形容词词义辨析。句意为：当我们睡得少的时候，我们可能更容易________。ill生病的；smart 聪明的；sad难过的；shy害羞的。联系上文及常识可知，熬夜或睡眠不足对身体有害，因此人就容易生病。故选A。
