【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

The 'broken heart syndrome(心碎综合征) ', 2 (official) calledTakotsubo syndrome, or TTS, involves the sudden weakening of heart muscles. This causes the left ventricle(心室), which pushes oxygen-rich blood through the body, 3(expand) abnormally at the bottom.

The scientific community has studied how unexpected emotional shocks can cause a heart attack. These shocks are usually unpleasant, such as the death of a family member or a violent 4 (argue). Recently, however, researchers discovered that even 5 (delight) events can give the same result. A team of researchers in Switzerland 6(collect) data on 1,750 cases of the Takotsubo syndrome. The team found that emotional shocks caused 485 of those 1,750 cases. And within that group of 485, 7 total of 20 people could be said to have suffered from 'happy heart syndrome', 8 causes include a favorite team winning a game and the birth of a grandchild. 9interesting finding is that TTS affects mostly women.

Happy and sad life events are, of course, very different. 10(far) studies are also needed to figure out if both events share the same pathway in the central nervous system for causing Takotsubo syndrome.

2officially

3to expand

4argument

6collected

7a

8whose

9Another

10Further

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了新的研究发现,不仅伤心的事情可以引起心碎综合征,令人开心的事情同样也可以。但还需要进一步的研究来确定这两种事件在中枢神经系统中,是否具有引起Takotsubo综合征的相同途径。

1考查动名词。分析句子可知,此处应用die的动名词作为句子主语,故填Dying

2考查副词。此处应用副词修饰动词call,故填officially

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

4考查名词。根据a判断,此处应填可数名词单数形式,故填argument

5考查形容词。分析句子可知,此处应用形容词修饰名词events,又此处意为“令人高兴的事情,故填delightful

9考查形容词。句意:另外一个有趣的发现是TTS通常影响女性。根据句意可知,此处用形容词another“另一个的”符合语境,故填Another

10考查比较级。句意:还需要进一步的研究来确定这两种事件在中枢神经系统中,是否具有引起Takotsubo综合征的相同途径。根据句意可知,此处用further studies“进一步的研究”符合语境,故填Further

【题目】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.

【题目】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( 孤儿院 ) 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(流产 ) 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.
