4、 most of us realize.admittedly，those mighty forces are spiritual ones.but they are more important than physical ones.a college classmate of mine，tim，was an excellent football player，even though he weighed much less than the average player.“in one game i suddenly found myself confronting a huge playe

28、carskadon在對(duì)小孩的睡眠進(jìn)行研究，故她會(huì)研究他們的“(睡覺(jué))習(xí)慣”。答案：c3解析：night owls是指睡覺(jué)“晚”的人。答案：b4解析：這里是指他們有自己偏好的“作息表”，由下一句sleep patterns和第三段的former schedule也可推知。答案：d5解析：這里需選一個(gè)跟late對(duì)立的詞，故選c項(xiàng)。答案：c答案：a7解析：后面列舉了兩個(gè)問(wèn)題，故這里指“問(wèn)”自己這些問(wèn)題。答案：b8解析：根據(jù)and cheerful可知需選c項(xiàng)，表示“充滿(mǎn)精力”和高興的時(shí)候。答案：c9解析：根據(jù)下文中we want the boys可知，這里是指作者的“兒子們”。答案：d10解析：該段

30、答案：a19解析：孩子是在家里睡覺(jué)的，故這里指不要讓現(xiàn)代化的“家庭”生活影響他們的睡眠。答案：b20解析：睡覺(jué)前需要關(guān)“燈”，這樣就不影響孩子的睡眠了。關(guān)掉water(水)、machines(機(jī)器)和gas(煤氣)，不符合語(yǔ)境。故選lights。答案：d第三節(jié)語(yǔ)法填空閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容(1個(gè)單詞)或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。every friday means a trip to a senior nursing home downtown. during every second i spent in the nursing home, i realized the 1._(i
