第一節(jié)短文理解

這是一個(gè)學(xué)校、家庭作業(yè)、豐富的社交生活和兼職工作都會(huì)讓青

少年們從早上忙到深夜的時(shí)代。他們可能會(huì)試圖通過周末"睡懶覺"

來彌補(bǔ)平日睡眠的不足。不幸的是，這樣做會(huì)導(dǎo)致睡眠不規(guī)律進(jìn)而使

問題更嚴(yán)重。大多數(shù)青少年要到很晚才能入睡，因?yàn)樗麄冊(cè)谝估颕I點(diǎn)

之前都不會(huì)有困意，但又必須確保次日早上7:30或8:00到校，所

以得不到足夠的睡眠。在青春期，大腦中的生物鐘會(huì)自然地把睡眠時(shí)

間自動(dòng)調(diào)整到晚些時(shí)候，而這會(huì)導(dǎo)致青少年入睡更晚。于是，到該起

床的時(shí)候，青少年的身體可能還在分泌夜間荷爾蒙，這使他們很難在

早上精神抖擻。

越來越多的研究表明，中學(xué)上課時(shí)間的推遲可以提高出勤率、學(xué)

習(xí)效果和分?jǐn)?shù)。幾年前一個(gè)重要的研究課題顯示，當(dāng)早間上課時(shí)間推

遲一個(gè)小時(shí).明尼蘇達(dá)州伊代納市的SAT大學(xué)入學(xué)考試平均成績提高了

100多分。遺憾的是，大多數(shù)學(xué)校都沒有重新設(shè)置到校時(shí)間，從而也

21.C【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為"周末‘睡懶覺’對(duì)青少年有何

影響?”由第一段末旬"makestheproblemworse"可知影響是負(fù)面

的；由第二段第三句"thebiologicalclock...re—sets...,causes

teenstofallasleeplater."可知，這個(gè)負(fù)面影響主要是生物鐘被重置,

即為遭到破壞或擾亂。A選項(xiàng)完全有悖原文，B選項(xiàng)"削弱精力"和睡

懶覺無關(guān)，D選項(xiàng)"彌補(bǔ)荷爾蒙缺失"在原文中未曾提及。故C正確。

22.D【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為"明尼蘇達(dá)州的研究表明，早問

上課時(shí)間推遲一個(gè)小時(shí)有助于。"原文最后一段提到，該地區(qū)SAT大

學(xué)入學(xué)考試平均成績提高(jump)了100多分，由此可見，D選項(xiàng)"提

變青少年睡眠需求"、"針對(duì)青少年做更多的研究"在原文中都未曾

提及。故D正確二

導(dǎo)致青少年睡眠晚的原因，睡眠推遲帶來的負(fù)面影響(如擾亂生物鐘、

導(dǎo)致睡眠不足、影響出勤率和學(xué)習(xí)效果等)，繼而提出可以通過上課時(shí)

間推遲來滿足睡眠需求。全文始終在圍繞青少年的睡眠問題展開。故B

正確。

芝加哥兒童醫(yī)院幸運(yùn)地收到由GladysHolm女士捐贈(zèng)的高達(dá)1800

萬美元的善款。Holm女士曾是一位秘書，每年收入不超過1.5萬美元,

終身未婚。她獨(dú)自居住在芝加哥的一間小公寓，曾是兒童醫(yī)院的一位

志愿者。她被稱為“泰迪熊女士"，因?yàn)樗偸嵌ㄆ谌メt(yī)院做志愿者

并且每次都給生病的孩子帶去動(dòng)物玩偶。但Holm女士在1996年以

86歲高齡去世之前.還長期購買股票。這些年她存下的錢已經(jīng)達(dá)到1800

萬美元，她把這筆錢全部留給了芝加哥兒童醫(yī)院。這是該院建院115年

以來收到的單筆金額最高的捐贈(zèng)款。該院院長JanJennings聽到這個(gè)

消息時(shí)非常驚訝，她說："當(dāng)Holm女士的律師打電話告訴我這筆錢

金額有多大時(shí)，我讓他又重復(fù)了一次，因?yàn)槲矣X得我肯定聽錯(cuò)了。"

為何GladysHolm女士對(duì)芝加哥兒童醫(yī)院感情如此深

厚?Jennings說該院第一次感動(dòng)到Holm女士是在大約50年前，當(dāng)時(shí)

那里的醫(yī)生挽救了她朋友的女兒的生命。她后來一直都未曾忘記當(dāng)年

她所感受到的那種幸福和快樂。

Holm女士的捐贈(zèng)款項(xiàng)將被投入到心臟疾病的研究。醫(yī)院的工作人

員說他們很遺憾不能當(dāng)面向Holm女士表達(dá)他們對(duì)她此次慷慨捐贈(zèng)的

謝意。

24.D【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為"根據(jù)本文內(nèi)容，Holm女士通

過——積累了她的資產(chǎn)。"從第一段第二句話可知，她的職業(yè)是秘書,

年收入不超過1.5萬美元,故B選項(xiàng)靠秘書工作積累是錯(cuò)誤的。C選項(xiàng)

是她的善舉，與資產(chǎn)的累積無關(guān)。文章第一段第四句話提到"Teddy

BearLady"是人們對(duì)她的昵稱，不是表演，故A選項(xiàng)也錯(cuò)誤。第一段

第五句話"along.timebuyerofstocks”以及第六句話"shesaved

moneythatloseupto..."可知，她的這筆巨款是靠多年購買股票的

增值，故D正確。

25.D【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為"JanJennings為何讓律師重復(fù)

一次他說的話?”從第一段末句中的"sinceIWascertainIhad

misheard"可知，是因?yàn)閿?shù)額巨大她不敢相信，以為自己聽錯(cuò)了，故

D為正確答案、A選項(xiàng)意為"她從未想到Holm女士會(huì)捐贈(zèng)任何東西”，

文中未提及。B選項(xiàng)意為"她想要確定Holm女士是誰"，院長對(duì)

Holm女士很熟悉,甚至知道50年前的淵源，無需確定：C選項(xiàng)"她

以前很少接受到捐贈(zèng)"錯(cuò)誤，只是很少接收到單筆數(shù)額這么高的捐贈(zèng)。

故D正確。

26.C【精析】歸納題。題干意為"Holm女士對(duì)兒童醫(yī)院的愛起

源于"，從第二段第二句話”...firsttouched...heartnearly50years

ago...savedthelifeofherfriend,Sdaughter"可知.是源于50年

前該醫(yī)院挽救了Holm女士朋友的女兒，故C選項(xiàng)"很多年前一次難

忘的經(jīng)歷"符合題意。故C正確。

27.C【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題：題干意為"這筆捐贈(zèng)款項(xiàng)將怎樣使用?”。

由末段首句"Holm'sgiftwillbedonatedtoheartdisease

research."可知，C選項(xiàng)符合題意。故c正確。

我們認(rèn)為從一開始就讀書給孩子聽很重要——孩子越小，效果越

好。對(duì)于小寶寶（從出生到四個(gè)月），讀書和反復(fù)讀書很重要。早日開始

讀書可以使孩子聽得更容易（你在讀書時(shí)也是在教孩子怎么去聽），因?yàn)?/p>

這有助于培養(yǎng)孩子對(duì)書面文字和口頭語言的早期熱愛。

我們認(rèn)為每日至少一次對(duì)孩子大聲讀書很有必要。每日或每晚安

頓好之后安排一段特定的閱讀時(shí)間，不受干擾地閱讀一本書。對(duì)于大

多數(shù)家庭，晚上睡覺前大聲閱讀是一種常見的做法。

我們理解，對(duì)著一個(gè)不感興趣的孩子讀書是一件讓人沮喪的事情。

但是用心點(diǎn)!學(xué)習(xí)聽需要體驗(yàn)，你讀的越多，你的孩子就越能學(xué)會(huì)坐下

來認(rèn)真聽一個(gè)故事。孩子對(duì)你的閱讀會(huì)自然地產(chǎn)生反應(yīng)。當(dāng)孩子

六、七個(gè)月大時(shí)，他/她會(huì)被你手中的書吸引，并且會(huì)把書當(dāng)作是咀嚼

玩具采品嘗它的味道。這是天性。到一歲時(shí)，你的孩子就在學(xué)著聽甚

至講書中的內(nèi)容了，他們常常喊出他/她認(rèn)識(shí)的某些東西。請(qǐng)鼓勵(lì)這種

做法!當(dāng)孩子開始走路時(shí)，你才開始最大的挑戰(zhàn)。孩子會(huì)一直跑來跑去。

你需要把閱讀時(shí)間安排在孩子準(zhǔn)備安靜下來的時(shí)候，即睡覺時(shí)間。切

記，讓孩子體會(huì)到書籍的力量是你的權(quán)利和職責(zé)。當(dāng)然，這非一日之

功，但回饋將是巨大的。

28.B【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為"第一段中的'thelistener'指

誰?”這篇文章主要在講給小孩讀書的重要性以及方法。由第一段中

"thelistener后面括號(hào)中的補(bǔ)充內(nèi)容"因?yàn)槟阍诮探o你的孩子怎樣

去聽"可知，這里的listener是指你的孩子。故B正確。

29.D【精析】推斷題。題干意為"一天中最適合給孩子讀故事的

時(shí)間是。"第二段第四句話和第三段倒數(shù)第四句話均提到閱讀時(shí)間，

并且都用"settledown",該詞組意為"安定下來，平靜下來"，對(duì)

應(yīng)選項(xiàng)中的故正確。

D"quietandpeaceful'oD

30.C【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為"當(dāng)孩子一一時(shí)，父母可能會(huì)發(fā)

現(xiàn)給他們讀書最難。"由第三段第十句話"youhaveyourbiggest

challenge"可以確定答案在此處，由該句的前半句"attheonsetof

walking"可知答案。故C正確.
