A high school in England has been issued a new policy to allow students to sleep longer on the mornings. It is introducing a 1:30 –7:00 pm timetable in September. It will become an only school in Britain start lessons in the afternoon. Head teacher Guy Holloway said the new hours should help students get higher grade. He said a research on neuroscience (神经学) show students’ productivity increases unless they can sleep longer in the mornings. Mr. Holloway said, “We want to get students into an environment that they can get quality sleep and their bodies are functioning good.” He adds, “It's about what works in our community.”

1.第一句: 划去been

2.第一句: on the mornings 将on改为in

3.第三句: It will become an only school…将an改为the

4.第三句:start 前加to

5.第四句:将grade 改为grades

6.第五句:将show 改为 shows

7.第五句:将unless 改为 if

8.第六句:将that 改为 where

9.第六句:将good 改为 well

10.第七句:将adds 改为 added

【解析】

试题分析:本文主要讲在英国的一个高中早上停止上课,使学生们能够睡的时间更长。

1. 划去been ;高校已经发布了一个消息,而不是高校被发布了一个消息,这是主动式,故应把been去掉。

2. on the mornings 将on改为in;表具体某天早上则用on,不是具体某天早上则用in,因为这里想表达的是每天早上,而不是具体某天,所以应改为in。

3. It will become an only school…将an改为the,the是定冠词表示特指某一事,an是不定冠词,表示泛指;在这里特指的是这里独有的一个学校,表示特指,故应改为the。

4. 前加to;to后面接的是不定式做主语,这里才是真正的主语。

5. 改为grades;因为前面students是复数形式,这里grade也因变为复数形式,是指一群学生的成绩,而不是一个。

6. 改为 shows;前文的主语是he是第三人称单数,且这里表示的是一个事实,因此应变为shows。

7. 改为 if;unless一般用于否定句中,表示除非,如果不,而if则用于肯定句中表示如果。因为本句是一个肯定句所以此处应改为if。

8. 改为 where;像environment,situation等这些特定的词后都应该接where。

9. 改为 well;well为副词修饰动词,副词,形容词 ;good 形容词修饰名词,或做表语,这里是要修饰形容词故用well。

10. 改为 added,前文中用的是he said为了保持时态的一致性这里也应用过去时。

As the saying goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards. Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams to rivers to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves .A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think about .These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water(虚拟水)”.

We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92%of the water used by people goes into growing crops,according to water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats .These products are shipped around the world.

For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310liters of the water—about 95%—is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4%goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstra’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad,it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator.

According to Hoekstra’s new report,dry countries like Israel and Kuwait,both in the Middle East,get the majority of their virtual water from other countries,through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries,like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.

In the United States most of the virtual water used comes from American sources .In China even less of the water associated with its products.

1.The example of a sugary soft drink in Paragraph 3 is given to show_________.

A. how drinks are shipped

B. how virtual water is exported

C. how virtual water is used

D. how drinks are made

2.In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside?________

A. Kuwait and the Netherlands

B.China and the United Kingdom

C. America and the Netherlands

D. Israel and America

3.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Crops and Virtual Water

B. Water’s worldwide travels

C. Benefits of Virtual Water

D. Import and Export of Water

4.The passage is most probably a________.

A.science news report B. science fiction story

C. newspaper advertisement D. book review

If you are sitting down listening to what I’m going to say, stand up. Move your legs. Touch your toes, if you can. Do anything but sit.

If you cut down on the time you spend sitting, you might live longer. New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years.

Just the opposite, says Peter Katzmarzyk. He is a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States. He says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives. "We sit while we're eating; we sit in the car; we sit while we watch TV. Many of us sit for many hours at work. " But, he adds, that does not make sitting good for us. The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around.

Exercise is important. So is not sitting.

"We can't throw away physical activity. It's extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, what goes on in the other 23-and-a-half hours a day is also very important."

Mr. Katzmarzyk and his co-workers are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. This is a relatively new area of study—studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality(死亡) or television viewing and mortality.

Making uses of the few studies available to them, they found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one-point four years to life.

New desk designs are helping

Change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A "standing desk" lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the "treadmill desk." A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. That's one of the strategies that many companies are using now. Some companies may equip their employees with a "standing desk" or a "treadmill desk". Other companies may not buy one for everybody, but they'll have a bank of these desks where people can go for an hour a day and answer their emails or talk on the phone. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with such desks to keep children moving.

Mr. Katzmarzyk says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives. "As a university professor, you know, it is a very sedentary occupation. We're chained to a desk in terms of writing papers and doing research. We really try to limit the amount of time we spend doing that."

Suggestions for sitting less

If you work in office job or have a sedentary job, Mr. Katzmarzyk and his team suggest a few simple changes:

get up from your desk as often as you can take walks at lunch time walk to your colleagues’ offices and talk directly instead of emailing them All these activities may help you live longer.

1.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Take exercise, keep fit.

B. Change more, achieve greater.

C. Talk directly, improve relationship.

D. Sit less, live longer.

2.The word “ubiquitous ” (in Para. 3) means “_______”.

A. common B. normal

C. individual D. specific

3. Mr Katzmarzyk holds the view that _______.

A. the study doesn’t benefit him at all

B. it’s unnecessary to limit television time

C. emailing colleagues is better than a face-to-face talk

D. those taking exercises 30 minutes a day still can’t sit long

4. The passage is most likely to be _______.

A. a medical research B. a book review

C. a health report D. a sports feature

“I say, I’m pleased to see you,” said the little man standing by the letter-box.

“Oh, hello,” I said, remembering he was a new neighbor. “Simpson, isn’t it?”

“Yes, that’s right.” He seemed quite pleased by my ready recognition.

“I wonder if you could lend me some money,” he continued. “My wife gave me a letter to post, and I’ve just noticed it isn’t stamped.”

“yes, they never are,” I said, sympathetically(同情地).

“It must go tonight—it really must! I’d get stamps out of the machine,” explained Simpson,” Only I find I have no small change about me.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I haven’t either,” I said.

“Oh, dear, dear,” he said.

“Yes, well,” I said, intending to move off. But he looked so unhappy standing there with the blue unstamped envelope that I really hadn’t the heart to desert him.

So I took him to my house and found some pennies and gave them to him, who, in the most business like way, made a note of the loan in his pocket-book, and left. But soon he turned up again.

“I’m sorry I am a stranger round here and —well, I’m rather lost…”

It took me several minutes to explain to him where the post office was. In the end I felt as lost as Simpson and had to accompany him to the post office, but, only to find the automatic stamp-machine was empty!

“Oh!” Simpson was so desperate that he dropped the letter on the ground and when he picked it up there was a large black spot on its face.

“Dear me,” he said, “My wife told me to post it tonight. I’d better post it, if you know what I mean.”

I did know. Or, at least, I knew Mrs Simpson.

Then I got a good idea, “Post the letter unstamped—let the other man pay double postage on it in the morning. ” And he had to agree.

Finishing off our job, I took him home.

“I’m so grateful to you, really,” he said when we reached his home. “That letter—it’s only an invitation to dinner to Mr… Dear me!”

“Why, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing. Just something I’ve remembered.”

“What?”

But he didn’t tell me. He just opened his eyes and his mouth at me like a wounded gold- fish, murmured(低声说话)a “Good-night”, and went inside.

All the way home I was wondering what it was that he had remembered.

But I stopped wondering the next morning, when I had to pay the postman double postage for a blue envelope with a large black spot on its face.

1.Simpson was very happy when the writer greeted him because ____.

A. they were good friends

B. he had a very important letter to post

C. he saw somebody he could turn to at last

D. he didn’t expect the writer to recognize him instantly

2.In the writer’s view, ____.

A. the consequence would be very severe if Simpson didn’t obey his wife

B. wives never gave their husbands money to post a letter

C. it bothered him to lead Simpson to the post office

D. he was as foolish as Simpson

3.What did Simpson suddenly remember when they got his home?

A. His wife was waiting for him to return.

B. The letter was only an invitation to dinner.

C. The letter was just addressed to the writer.

D. It’s unfair for the other man to pay for the letter.

4.How would the writer describe Simpson?

A. Stupid and careless. B. Careless but warm-hearted.

C. Optimistic and kind. D. Cautious but stubborn.
