    6．American society is not nap（午睡）friendly．In fact，says David Dinges，a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine．"There's even a ban against admitting we need sleep．"Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work．A proverb says："Some sleep five hours，nature requires seven，laziness nine and wickedness（邪恶） eleven．"
    Wrong!The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them．"We have to totally change our attitude toward napping，"says Dr William Dement of Stanford University，the godfather of sleep research．
    Last year a national commission（委员会） led by Dement put forward an"American sleep debt"which one member said was as important as the national debt．The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness：people causing industrial accidents of falling asleep while working．This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House．According to recent reports，our President is trying to take a half-hour nap every afternoon．
    About 60percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity．We seem to have"a mid-afternoon quiet state"，or"a secondary sleep gate"．Sleeping 15minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed．Clearly，we were born to nap．
    We Superstars of Napping don't nap just to make up for the lost sleep after a night shift（夜班）．Rather，we take it，whenever，wherever and at whatever time we feel like it．I myself have napped in buses，cars，planes and on boats； on floors and beds； and in libraries，offices and museums．

    56．It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep isA．
    A．unbearable B．unfit      C．harmful      D．unfriendly
    57．The research done by the Dement commission shows thatC．
    A．Americans who sleep too much usually get into debts
    B．the commission blamed the national debts on people's sleep
    C．not enough sleep is no good for Americans and their country
    D．napping at work has caused America many industrial and traffic accidents
    58．The writer writes this passage in order toD．
    A．warn us of the risks of napping
    B．show us the dangers of sleeplessness
    C．introduce a national commission on sleepiness in America
    D．convince the readers of the necessity of napping
    59．From the passage，we can learn that"American sleep debt"is the result ofA．
    A．the wrong attitude the Americans traditionally hold toward sleep
    B．the sleep policy made by the American government
    C．the rapid development of American industry
    D．the Americans'worry about the dangers of sleepiness
    60．The last paragraph tells us that it isD．
    A．preferable to have a sound sleep after a night shift
    B．good practice not to nap at work
    C．essential to make up for lost sleep
    D．natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it．

    分析 文章讲述了美国传统观念是不允许午睡的，但是最近的研究表明午睡对于美国人是非常重要，美国的睡眠缺失现象非常严重，作者呼吁午睡是一种天性，无论何时何地只要感觉困了就应该小睡一会．

    解答 56．A．推理判断题．由第一段，美国人不喜欢午睡，事实上，宾夕法尼亚大学医学院睡眠专家David Dinges说，"甚至有一个禁令不允许我们需要睡眠．在工作的时候，没有人愿意被发现在打瞌睡或在睡觉．引用一个谚语：有的人睡5个小时，正常情况需7个小时，懒惰者需9个小时，堕落者需11个小时．由此可知，美国人认为过多的失眠是不合理的．并不是罪恶的，有害的，昂贵的．故答案为A．
    57．C．推理判断题．美国人都普遍缺乏睡眠，他们的睡眠欠缺和国债一样不可小觑．可见，美国认为睡眠少对他们有益，这样可以做更多的事情．故答案为C．
    58．D．主旨大意题．由第二段The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them．We have to totally change our attitude toward napping．工作时不睡着的方法是当你困的时候就小睡一下，我们必须完全改变我们对于小睡的态度．可知，本文的意图是使读者认识到小睡的必要性．故答案为D．
    59．A．细节理解题．由第一段可知，美国人不重视午睡，没有人想在工作时被发现在打盹或睡着了，还有一句俗语来抨击午睡，可见是传统观念在误导着他们．故选A．
    60．D．推理判断题．由最后一段，睡觉是我们的一部分，无论何时，何地，我自己在公交车里，汽车，飞机，船上，在床上，图书馆，办公室，博物馆里都可以小睡．可知，本段是要告诉我们不论何时，当我们需要休息的时候，就应该小睡一会．故答案为D．

    点评 夹叙夹议的材料是近几年高考阅读理解的常考题型，学生对此类夹叙夹议的文章，如果生词多就不知道如何作答了．遇到类似情况可以重点看作者所发表的议论，把握好作者的感情色彩，是褒义还是贬义．本文文脉清晰，题目设置不难，答题时需要仔细对照原文和题目的选项，把握好作者是非常支持午睡的这一点．

    1．When you think of the cinema，the phrase"watching a movie"probably comes to mind，and，in fact，moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually （视觉上）．But movies also contain stories，dialogues，music，and sound effects-things that people don't need to see in order to enjoy．
    Movie reviewer Marty Klein has created a website called Blindspots to help visually impaired （损坏的） people choose movies that they can follow without the help of an assistant to explain what is happening on the screen．Klein gives movies a rating from 1to 10based on several factors．A movie receives a high rating if there are only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize．Klein also likes an interesting story without too many changes in time and place．A large amount of dialogue between the characters is better than long silences or noisy action scenes．
    Of course，blind or visually impaired people can enjoy many films with help from a friend who doesn't mind explaining the parts of a movie that can only be seen．But that means that someone is talking during the movie，which could annoy some audience members．It also means that blind people cannot go to the movies independently．To solve these problems，some movie theaters have begun to offer recorded audio descriptions of the movements，scenery，and special effects that other audience members can see on the screen．Blind moviegoers receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie．This allows them to listen to the narration while still hearing a movie's music and other sounds that surround them in the theater．
    Another blind movie reviewer，Jay Forry，writes movie reviews that are published on his website，Blindside Reviews．He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows．Forry gives movies one of five ratings，including，"So good，blind people will like it"and"I'm glad I couldn't see it．"Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 28and deciding to go to college．His first articles appeared in the college newspaper，and Forry's writing skills and sense of humor are what keep people reading his reviews or listening to them on the radio．After"watching"The Sixth Sense，Forry commented that he thought the movie was excellent，but that he envied the boy who was the main character："He had six senses，and I only have four．"

    53．What is the main idea of the article？A
    A．Marty Klein and Jay Forry write movie reviews for blind people and help them．
    B．There are several problems about blind people bringing assistants to the movies．
    C．Many blind people do not enjoy going to movies for their impaired vision．
    D．Movie reviews and new technology are making it easier for blind people to enjoy movies．
    54．Which movie might receive a good rating from Marty Klein？C
    A．An action film with many fighting scenes．
    B．A drama that often changes between the past and the present．
    C．A comedy with four main characters and lots of conversation．
    D．A space adventure with many explosions and special effects．
    55．Why does the writer include this quotation："He had six senses，and I only have four．"？B
    A．To show Forry's sense of humor．
    B．To compare Forry to the boy in the movie．
    C．To present Forry's envy of the boy in the movie．
    D．To recommend the movie The Sixth Sense to readers．

    18．A third of 15to 18-year-olds in the UK have met someone in person they originally met through social media．
    The figure comes from an exclusive online Newsbeat poll（投票） of 1，015British teenagers，put together by Comres．The survey also indicates that a quarter feel happier online than they do in real life．
    But overall，real-life relationships are still considered far more important than online ones，according to the findings．Sixty-six per cent polled last month said the number of friends they knew in person was more important to them，compared to 28% who said the same of the number of friends and followers they had online．
    The survey also suggests what lots of people know already，that social media is now an integral part of teenagers'lives．Only one per cent of respondents said they never checked in online for social reasons．Facebook is the most popular social network （89% have an account），followed by Twitter （62%） and Snapchat （58%）．
    Dr Emma Short，a psychologist at the University of Bedfordshire，said，"The number of teenagers meeting up with people they first befriended online is worrying．Even very sophisticated security experts find it very hard to verify the identity of accounts．When you're 15and you're very effective at identifying friends and risk，it's easy to assume you can do that online．It's not safe in that they may not be who they say they are and you know nothing about them apart from the conversation you've had online-which is a very small part of their lives and the person they may be．"
    The survey also indicated：
    •25% of teenagers admitted they were addicted to social media．
    •25% wished they could give up social media．
    "I can't do without my phone．"says 17-year-old Aisha from Clapton，north London．"I can't do without checking Facebook，Twitter，Instagram，Snapchat．"
    When we ask Aisha about the prospect of taking her social networks away，the consequences，genuinely，are too hard to bear．
    Jealousy，loneliness，happiness and stress are all emotions felt by teenagers．

    D.28% polled have the same number of real life friends and net friends．

    15．A new study has been carried to test the role of story telling in lowering blood pressure．Dr．Thomas Houston，a professor of the University of Massachusetts Medical School，led a group of scientists that investigated how pre-recorded videos of hypertension （高血压） patients'talking about their medical histories helped another group of patients with high blood pressure to control their condition over several months．
       Houston was surprised by their studies that suggested that communication can be a powerful tool in medicine．They showed that those who had had similar experiences，when talking to someone with a similar background，could help change their behavior to become healthier．Hypertension is difficult to control，since it is dependent on diet，exercise and mental state．Medical treatments with drugs，and lifestyle therapies（疗法） have been relatively ineffective because people find it hard to follow those medical requirements．
       In the test，his team carefully chose their story-tellers from 230 members of a patients'community with whom they could most easily relate．Next，they divided their study population into two groups．One received three interactive （互助） DVDs containing the tellers'stories of their experiences in living with and treating their hypertension．The other were given educational discs on an unrelated health topic．The study volunteers reported that they had listened to the DVDs，and after three months，those who heard the stories of the hypertensive patients lowered their blood pressure．
      While the study did not address how the story-telling influenced the patients'behavior，Houston suspects that watching patients of similar backgrounds who had a similar medical experience helped to motivate them to seek medical help to their hypertension．They found that after six months the difference in blood pressure between those who watched the story-tellers and those who observed the unrelated videos remained，suggesting that the story-telling continued to have an effect．
    71．We can learn from the text that the pre-recorded videosA．
      A．tell medical histories of hypertension patients
      B．introduce some medical treatments of hypertension
      C．introduce a good lifestyle for hypertensive patients
      D．tell scientific discoveries of the scientist group
    72．Houston was surprised to find thatB．
      A．hypertension is really difficult to control
      B．communication has some medical effects
      C．medical treatments have no effect at all
      D．people don't follow the medical requirements
    73．Which of the following is true about the study？D
    A．The scientists chose 230 patients from a hospital．
      B．Both the groups used the same videos about health topic．
      C．The two groups lowered blood pressure in different degrees．
      D．The story-tellers were hypertension patients as well．
    74．The underlined word"address"in the last paragraph most probably meansD．
      A．convince of      B．observe     C．concentrate on       D．announce
    75．Which of the following could be the best title of the text？C
      A．The stories of some hypertension patients．
      B．Medical treatments of blood pressure．
      C．Storytelling may help lower blood pressure．
      D．Suggestions about how to lower blood pressure．

    16．In many parts of the world，cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them．（71）EBut this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously，not only by government but also by ear manufacturers．
             The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program．（72）AThat will mean much saving，no accidents and better use of roads．The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself（73）C，．Instead，we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing．
    According to Dr．David Davis，who leads the research team，these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture，which had blocked up our cities，polluted our air，and caused more deaths than both world wars put together．
    Davis says，cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices（装置） to regulate（调节） the distance between one car and another．（74）GComputers are much safer drivers than people，so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people．
    By 2010，Dr．David Davis believes，car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road，whatever the weather conditions，by projecting an image（影像）of the road ahead on to the car's windscreen（75）D．Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form"road-trains"．"The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount．"says Davis．"But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount，and so produce about ten percent of the pollution．"

    A．The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized．
    B．They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years．
    C．And it will not be owned by one individual．
    D．And by 2030，cars will travel in line，linked to each other electronically．
    E．So the idea that in 20 years'time，no one will own cars may be hard to believe．
    F．Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns．
    G．The car will automatically speed up，or slow down，to match the speed of the car in front．
