2、 happens if you dont get enough sleep? Randy Gardner, a high school student in the United States, wanted to find out. He designed an experiment on the effects of sleeplessness for a school science project. With doctors watching him carefully, Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours and 12 minutes. Thats

3、eleven days and nights without sleep!What effect did sleeplessness have on Gardner? After 24 hours without sleep, Gardner started having trouble reading and watching television. The words and pictures were too blurry（模糊）. By the third day, he was having trouble doing things with his hands. By the fo

4、urth day, Gardner was hallucinating（產(chǎn)生幻覺）. For example, when he saw a street sign, he thought it was a person. He also imagined he was a famous football player. Over the next few days, Gardners speech became so slurred（不清楚）that people couldnt understand him. He also had trouble remembering things. B

5、y the eleventh day, Gardner couldnt pass a counting test. In the middle of the test he simply stopped counting. He couldnt remember what he was doing.When Gardner finally went to bed, he slept for 14 hours and 45 minutes. The second night he slept for twelve hours, the third night he slept for ten a

6、nd one-half hours, and by the fourth night, he had returned to his normal sleep schedule.Even though Gardner recovered quickly, scientists believe that going without sleep can be dangerous. They say that people should not repeat Randys experiment. Tests on white rats have shown how serious sleepless

7、ness can be. After a few weeks without sleep, the rats started losing their fur（皮毛）. And even though the rats ate more food than usual, they lost weight. Eventually the rats died.During your lifetime, you will probably spend 25 years or more sleeping. But why? What is the purpose of sleep? Surprisin

8、gly, scientists dont know for sure. Some scientists think we sleep in order to replenish（補(bǔ)充）brain cells. Other scientists think that sleep helps the body to grow and to relieve stress. Whatever the reason, we know that it is important to get enough sleep.你睡眠充足嗎如果你的睡眠不充足會發(fā)生什么？美國一名叫Randy Gardner的高中生想找

9、出答案。他為學(xué)校的一個科學(xué)項(xiàng)目設(shè)計(jì)了一個實(shí)驗(yàn)，來研究失眠的效果。由醫(yī)生仔細(xì)看守，Gardner保持清醒時間長達(dá)264小時12分鐘小時。也就是整整11天沒有睡覺。不睡覺對Gardner有什么影響？24小時沒睡覺的之后，Gardner讀書看電視有困難。聲音和畫面很模糊。到第三天的時候，他用手做事情有困難。到第四天的時候，Gardner開始產(chǎn)生幻覺。比如，當(dāng)他看見一個路標(biāo)的時候，他以為那是個人。他還想象著自己是個有名的足球運(yùn)動員。在接下來的幾天里，Gardner說話變得不清楚，人們無法理解他。他記憶也有困難。到第十一天的時候，Gardner無法通過一個數(shù)數(shù)測試。在測試的過程中，他停下數(shù)數(shù)。他不記得自

10、己在做些什么。當(dāng)Gardner最終上床睡覺的時候，他睡了14小時45分鐘。第二天他睡了12個小時，第三天他睡了10.5個小時，到第四天的時候，他回到正常的睡眠時間。即使Gardner恢復(fù)的很快，科學(xué)家認(rèn)為長時間不睡覺會很危險。他們說人們不能再重復(fù)Randy做的實(shí)驗(yàn)。對白鼠的實(shí)驗(yàn)顯示嚴(yán)重的睡眠不足會有多嚴(yán)重的后果。在幾周沒有睡覺之后，老鼠開始脫掉皮毛。即使老鼠吃的比平時多，它們還是會體重下降。最終死去。在你的一生中，你大概會花25年甚至更多時間用來睡覺。但是為什么呢？睡覺的目的是什么呢？令人驚訝的是，科學(xué)家并不肯定。有些科學(xué)家認(rèn)為我們睡覺時為了補(bǔ)充大腦細(xì)胞。另外一些科學(xué)家認(rèn)為睡覺幫助身體成長并緩

11、解壓力。不管原因是什么，我們都知道睡眠充足很重要。第3部分：概括大意和完成句子（第2330題，每題1分，共8分）下面的短文后有2項(xiàng)測試任務(wù)：（1）第23 26題要求從所給的6個選項(xiàng)中為指定段落每段選擇1個小標(biāo)題；（2）第27 30題要求從所給的6個選項(xiàng)中為每個句子確定一個最佳選項(xiàng)。The Meaning of Dreams1Dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly interpreted, we can come to understand ourselves better. Here, we lo

12、ok at four common dreams and what they potentially symbolize.2I can see their laughing faces . laughing at me. But they arent as smart. If they were, theyd be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative connotations（涵義）. On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desi

13、re to travel and get away from everyday routine. It can also be interpreted as a powerful desire to achieve. On the other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent an inferiority complex（自卑情結(jié)）, which the dreamer at

14、tempts to escape from by putting themselves up above others.3Im moving fast now, but its still behind me. Doesnt matter how fast I go, I still cant escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality（生命力）like the first one, it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from da

15、nger. Usually, fear is the dominant emotion. By running hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can also stumble（蹣跚）or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes the fear even more terrifying（恐怖的）. One possible interpretation suggests that the person is under pressure in

16、their everyday life.4Im sweating and my heart is beating. Im trapped in my own bed. In this dream, the person is often standing on a high, exposed place such as on the top of a tower, or on the edge of a cliff. The overwhelming（強(qiáng)烈的）feeling changes from anxiety to a loss of control. There is nothing

17、to stop the person, and the feeling as they go over the edge can be horrifyingly (（恐怖地）real. Fortunately, just before hitting the ground, the dreamer awakens with a sense of enormous relief. This dream suggests that the dreamer is afraid of losing control and has a fear of failure or even death.5The

18、 wind is pushing me and I slip. Theres nothing I can do nothing I can hold on to. This symbol is associated with fear: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They try hard to move their arms and legs, but they simply cannot. Frozen in a terrifying situation with no escape, they become mor

19、e and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequent context for this dream is failing to do something in public, often something which you are normally very good at, such as your job. Not only is this extremely embarrassing, but it also shows a deep-seated phobia（恐懼）of losing a job and a liv

20、elihood.做夢的意義做夢在我們的生活在扮演著重要的角色。如果夢能被正確的解析，我們就能更好的了解自己了。在這里，我們看看四個普通的夢，以及他們可能代表著什么。我看到他們的笑臉對著我笑。但是他們不是那么聰明。如果他們聰明的話，他們會在上面和我一起飛翔。這個夢既有積極涵義，又有消極涵義。積極的一面是，這個夢可能表達(dá)了一種去旅游并且擺脫每天的日常生活的強(qiáng)烈愿望。它也可以被理解為想取得成就的強(qiáng)烈愿望。另一方面，這個夢可能意味著做夢人有什么問題或者是在害怕什么，并且想逃跑。這個夢代表著一種自卑情結(jié)，做夢人讓自己所處的位置比其他人高，從而試圖逃離。我現(xiàn)在跑得很快，但是它仍在我身后。無論我跑得多快，我

21、仍然無法逃跑。盡管這和第一個夢一樣，是健康和生命力的傳統(tǒng)象征，它也暗示著做夢者正試圖擺脫危險。通常，恐懼情緒占主導(dǎo)。通過快速奔跑，做夢者可能會擺脫威脅。然而，他們也可能蹣跚或者更糟的是整個停止移動。這個讓恐懼更加恐怖。一個可能的解釋是這個人在日常生活中面臨壓力。我在冒汗，我的心在跳動。我被困在自己的床上。在這個夢里，做夢者通常站在一個很高的暴露的地方，比如塔頂，或者懸崖邊緣。這種強(qiáng)烈的感覺通常從焦慮變?yōu)槭タ刂?。沒有什么能阻止這個人，而且那種在懸崖邊走動的感覺真實(shí)得讓人恐怖。幸運(yùn)的是，正當(dāng)要掉到地面的時候，做夢者醒來了，感到一種巨大的解脫。這個夢暗示做夢者害怕失去控制，并且害怕失敗甚至死亡。風(fēng)

22、在使勁吹著我，我滑倒了。我什么也做不了沒有什么能讓我抓住。這個夢跟恐懼相關(guān)：突然做夢者失去了所有動彈的力量。他們努力想移動手臂或者胳膊，但是就是不行。在一個令人恐怖的情形里被凍結(jié)，無法逃跑，隨著時間一秒秒推移，他們會變得越來越恐懼。這個夢另外一個常有的背景是做夢者在公眾場合未來完成什么事情，常常是他們正常情況下很擅長的事情，比如你的工作。這個不僅讓人極其尷尬，它還暗示著對失去工作以及生計(jì)的一種深深的恐懼。第4部分：閱讀理解（第3145題，每題3分，共45分）下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題。請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，為每題確定1個最佳選項(xiàng)。第一篇Sprained（扭傷）AnkleOne of the

23、most common injuries teenagers and adults experience is a sprained ankle. A sprain occurs when the ligaments（韌帶）of a joint are twisted（扭傷）and possibly torn. Ligaments are bands of fibers that hold the bones of a joint in position. A sprain can occur from a sudden twisting at the joint, or a stretchi

24、ng or tearing of the fibers of the ligaments. The injured area usually swells（腫脹）and becomes black and blue. Stepping off the sidewalk at the wrong angle or having one foot land in a hole while walking or running can leave you rolling on the ground in pain with an ankle on fire! If you cannot walk w

25、ithout experiencing intense pain, you must seek medical help. If the pain is manageable, and you can walk, here are three words to help you remember how to treat yourself:As soon as there is injury to that ligament, there will be a certain amount of bleeding under the skin. Once the blood pools arou

26、nd the damaged blood vessels, swelling occurs. The pressure from the swelling results in additional stress and tenderness to the region. In order to reduce the degree of swelling, lie down as soon as possible and keep the ankle elevated so that it is actually higher than your heart. Next, to reduce

27、blood distribution and keep bleeding to a minimum, apply a cold pack. After 20 minutes, take the pack off, wait half an hour and then reapply. This can be done several times a day for a total of three days.Never leave a cold pack on for more than 20 minutes at a time. Reducing the temperature in tha

28、t area for an extended period of time signals the body to increase blood flow to raise the body temperature! Therefore, one accidentally triggers more blood distribution to the affected area by leaving a cold pack on for too long! Finally, bandage the ankle. Be careful not to wind it too tightly; do

29、ing so can restrict blood flow and cause harm to the entire foot.扭傷的腳踝青少年以及成年人最常見的受傷是腳踝扭傷。當(dāng)關(guān)節(jié)的韌帶扭傷或者是撕裂的時候會發(fā)生扭傷。韌帶是將關(guān)節(jié)處的骨頭控制在一定位置的一團(tuán)纖維。突然扭曲關(guān)節(jié)或者拉伸或者是撕開韌帶處的纖維會出現(xiàn)扭傷。受傷的部分通常會腫脹，變成了烏黑色。在人行道上走路角度不對，或者是在走路或者跑步的時候?qū)⒛_踏進(jìn)洞里，你的腳踝會像著火一樣，疼得在地上打滾。如果你走路的時候會有劇烈疼痛，你必須去看醫(yī)生。如果疼痛可以忍受，你能走路，這里有三個詞幫助你記住如何治療。抬高冷敷打繃帶一旦韌帶受傷，皮膚

30、下面會有一定量的出血。一旦血液在受傷的血管聚集，就會發(fā)生腫脹。腫脹部分的壓力會導(dǎo)致受傷區(qū)域有更多的壓力和壓痛感。為了減少腫脹程度，盡快躺下來，抬高腳踝，這樣腳踝就比你的心臟位置高。下一步，為了減少血液分布，將出血降到最少，敷上一個冰袋。20分鐘之后，把冰袋拿掉，等半小時之后，再敷上。就這樣每天敷幾次，連續(xù)敷三天。敷冰袋一次不要超過20分鐘。長時間的將身體的那個部分降溫會給身體發(fā)出信號，增加血液流動來給身體升溫。所以冰袋敷太久會意外引起腫脹部分更多的血液分布。最后，給腳踝上繃帶。注意別纏繞的太緊，繃帶可以限制血液流通，避免對整個腳部造成傷害。31A sprain is caused byAblo

34、now theres no cure and strongly disagree that “the AIDS epidemic（流行）is over,” a new survey finds.The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and

35、 declines in deaths.“While people are very optimistic about the advances, theyre still realistic about the fact that there is no cure”, says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll（民意測驗(yàn)）, does find that the number of people rank

36、ing AIDS as the countrys top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser poll, 38% say its the top concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No. 1, down from 41 % in 1992 and 67% in 1987.Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1.200 adults in September and Oc

I hope the decision-makers in Wash

39、ington are getting the same message. We have seen signs of complacency（得意）.”對待艾滋病的最新態(tài)度大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為美國在抵抗艾滋病方面取得了進(jìn)步，但是他們不知道一個新的調(diào)查表明：人們認(rèn)為艾滋病不能被治愈，而且強(qiáng)烈反對“艾滋病不在流行”的說法。這個由凱撒家庭基金會發(fā)布的發(fā)現(xiàn)使那些積極參與抗艾滋病活動的人打消了疑惑。在這之前，他們擔(dān)心有關(guān)醫(yī)療技術(shù)進(jìn)步和死亡率降低的報(bào)道會使公眾不再關(guān)注艾滋病問題。及今后HIV計(jì)劃的負(fù)責(zé)人索菲亞張說：“當(dāng)人們?yōu)獒t(yī)療技術(shù)的發(fā)展感到樂觀的同時，也該意識到艾滋病無法治愈這一事實(shí)?！眲P撒調(diào)查就像一個最新的今
