【題目】 "Five more minutes" is the first thought of many people when their alarms ring in the morning. This first thought is usually followed by hitting the snooze button(小睡催醒按鈕)and falling back asleep for a few more moments. Hitting the snooze button has become a habit for millions of people, but it is time to examine this habit and develop new habits for feeling more rested during the day.

Though hitting the snooze button allows people a few more minutes of sleep, it causes unhealthy sleep patterns(模式).Most people think if they are tired when they first wake up, they need more sleep. However, they are mistaken when they conclude that any sleep is good sleep. Sleeping is a process with different cycles. To feel fully rested, the body must go through all the sleep cycles. Falling back asleep after hitting the snooze button restarts the process, but when the alarm rings again several minutes later, the process is interrupted. The body has not gone through all the cycles, and this can cause the body to feel sleepy for the rest of the day. This sleepiness can affect memory, the ability to make choices, and performance at work or school.

Sleepiness may also happen if the body's biological rhythm(規(guī)律)is interrupted. People normally fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning because their rhythms are operating naturally. The rhythms are affected by repeated use of the snooze button, which can cause feelings of sleepiness during the day and an inability to fall asleep at night.

Rather than depending on the snooze button, people need to consider developing different routines. The easiest choice is to put the alarm on the other side of the room. Having to get out of bed to turn it off decreases the possibility of hitting the snooze button. Another choice, if your routine allows it, is to just reset the alarm. Setting your alarm for 30 minutes later will make the whole sleep process longer instead of always restarting it. However, it must be stressed that getting up 30 minutes later in the morning is not an excuse to stay up 30 minutes later the night before.

Though a few extra minutes of sleep may seem to promise a better start to the day, hitting that snooze button creates an unhealthy sleep pattern.

1The second paragraph is mainly about .

A.what unhealthy sleep patterns most people have

B.what people should do to feel fully rested in the day time

C.why people feel like going back to sleep after first waking up

D.why a few minutes of sleep after first waking up causes bad effects

2What can we learn from the passage?

A.Hitting the snooze button helps people fall asleep at night.

B.People wake up because their biological rhythms are interrupted.

C.Getting up several minutes later helps people feel more energetic.

D.Putting the alarm a bit far from the bed helps form healthy sleep habits.

3Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Don't Wake Up Late!B.Don't Use Alarm Clocks!

C.Don't Touch That Button!D.Don't Change Sleep Patterns!

本文是一篇說明文。一般來說,我們早上被鬧鐘吵醒后,都會關掉鬧鐘再小睡一會,但是這是不健康的睡眠模式,會打斷整個的睡眠流程,使人白天更加困倦。

1主旨大意題。題意:第2段主要關于什么?A. what unhealthy sleep patterns most people have大多數(shù)人都有什么不健康的睡眠模式;B. what people should do to feel fully rested in the day time人們應該做些什么來讓自己在白天充分休息;C. why people feel like going back to sleep after first waking up為什么人們想在第一次醒來后再睡覺;D. why a few minutes of sleep after first waking up causes bad effects為什么第一次醒來后幾分鐘的睡眠會產(chǎn)生不好的影響。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容Though hitting the snooze button allows people a few more minutes of sleep, it causes unhealthy sleep patterns(模式).雖然按了小睡催醒按鈕允許人們多幾分鐘的睡眠,它會導致不健康的睡眠模式。可知,第2段在講不健康的睡眠模式,故選D。

2細節(jié)理解題。題意:我們從文章中了解到什么?A. Hitting the snooze button helps people fall asleep at night. 按下小睡催醒按鈕有助于人們在晚上入睡;根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容Though hitting the snooze button allows people a few more minutes of sleep, it causes unhealthy sleep patterns(模式).雖然按了小睡催醒按鈕允許人們多幾分鐘的睡眠,它會導致不健康的睡眠模式。可知,這個按鈕是早上按的,而且也不會有助睡眠,故A錯誤。B. People wake up because their biological rhythms are interrupted. 人們醒來是因為他們的生物節(jié)律被打亂了;根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容People normally fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning because their rhythms are operating naturally. 人們通常晚上睡覺,早上醒來,因為他們的節(jié)奏是自然的。可知,人們醒來時因為節(jié)奏自然,故B錯誤。C. Getting up several minutes later helps people feel more energetic. 晚起床幾分鐘能讓人感覺更有活力;根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容The body has not gone through all the cycles, and this can cause the body to feel sleepy for the rest of the day. 身體并沒有經(jīng)歷所有的周期,這可能會導致身體在一天剩下的時間里感到困倦。可知,多睡幾分鐘可能使人更累。故C錯誤。D. Putting the alarm a bit far from the bed helps form healthy sleep habits. 把鬧鐘放在離床稍遠的地方有助于形成健康的睡眠習慣;根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容The easiest choice is to put the alarm on the other side of the room. 最簡單的選擇是把鬧鐘放在房間的另一邊?芍,作者的建議是把鬧鐘放的離床遠一點。故D正確。故選D。

3主旨大意題。題意:文章最佳標題是哪一個?A. Don't Wake Up Late!不要晚醒!B. Don't Use Alarm Clocks!不要使用鬧鐘!C. Don't Touch That Button!不要碰那個按鈕!D. Don't Change Sleep Patterns!不要改變睡眠模式!根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知,鬧鐘響了,不要按那個按鈕,故選C。

本文為一篇說明文,難度略大,在做說明文的時候,可以先閱讀題目,然后帶著題目內(nèi)容去文章中找到相關的表述,進行選項和文章內(nèi)容對比。本文閱讀理解考查了比較多的主旨大意題,在做主旨大意題的時候,我們需要注意的是,題干問的是什么,是段主旨還是文章主旨,是作者的觀點態(tài)度還是文章的出處。段落主旨一般情況在段落的首句,文章主旨需要看文章首段和尾段。

【題目】 Upcycling is the process of changing old materials into something useful and often beautiful.

So, is it the same as recycling? No. Recycling takes materials-paper or glass-and breaks them down so their base materials can be remade into a new product. When you upcycle an item(物品), you are not breaking down the material,

you are simply refashioning it. For example, you might make shoes out of old tyres. Also, the upcycled item is typically of the same, or even better, quality(質(zhì)量) than the original.

Upcycling isn’t a new idea. Some of the best examples of modern-day upcycling come from the 1930s to 1940s when families didn’t have enough materials. In those days, things were repurposed over and over until there were no longer useful. For example, an old door can be made into a new dining table. Economising(節(jié)約) is still a trend(趨勢) today and a big reason why more and more people upcycle. But an even bigger reason for the rebirth of upcycling is its good influence on the environment.

Upcycling is green. The plain and simple fact of the matter is that upcycling is much better for the planet than throwing things away. When you upcycle, that's one item less that ends upon the waste mountain. Upcycling is also considerably more environmentally friendly than recycling, which needs energy or water to break down materials. Upcycling just needs your own creativity and effort.

Grace Robinson, from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats. Every day she drinks some tea, and then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them. When they are dry, she takes the tea out and sews the bags together to make clothes. This can take a long time- maybe months for a single dress -so Grace gets friends to help her by drinking tea too and passing their tea bags on to her.

There are two ways to support the upcycling movement. Sort(分類)through your wardrobe or recycling bin and create items yourself, or buy ready-made items from upcycled materials. Both ways benefit the environment and in return, you get something that’s both attractive and practical.

1We can learn from the passage that upcycling ___________.

A.can improve the quality of items

B.needs more energy than recycling

C.needs to break down base materials

D.produces more waste than recycling

2The underlined word"refashioning"in Paragraph 2 probably means “___________”.

3The writer probably agrees that ___________.

A.it is better to make clothes with used tea bags

B.upcycling is much greener than recycling

C.it is necessary to help others to upcycle

D.people need to be more creative

4Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A boy named Reggie was well-known in his hometown because he couldn’t hear anything. He was born deaf. Although people liked him a lot, they also treated him much more differently than other people.
