When Allen invited me to go on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a

lake, with a warm fireplace, hot chocolate, and soft beds. But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen

and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags, and

water bottles. We were going on survival training!

Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the

forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more

threatening.

At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking

rules. Then, with Leo in front we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountains.

After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs were aching and I dropped my pack and

groaned but there was no time to rest. “We need to set up camp quickly,” said Leo. “There are dark clouds coming

in. A storm’s on its way.”

I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and

pretended to help, thunder rumbling (发出隆隆声) in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit.

The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless (持续强烈的).

Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time

lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. “Don’t worry. Summer storms pass quickly,” Leo said,

trying to comfort me. “And at least the rain will keep the bears away,” he said with a teasing smile, which was less

comforting.

And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible

—I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of stars glowing in the night sky.

I wouldn’t lie—I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I

knew this was an adventure I would never forget.

C. He realized their trip would be challenging. D. Allen’s brother was unexpectedly with him.

was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top?

C. They were tired and needed to rest. D. They needed protection from animals.

A. He is an experienced and capable hiker. B. He is inconsiderate.

Sleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person’s well-being. Researchers have found that

insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity

(肥胖症), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is

also the key to improving academic performance.

Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship

试卷第2页共11页

between sleep and grades when he handed out smartwatches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the

professor hoped the wrist-worn devices, which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection

between exercise and academic achievements.

While Gross’s data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising.

As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a linear (线性的) relationship between

the average amount of sleep the students got and their results in the course’s 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and

the final exam.

Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test.

Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.

When students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of

the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. “When

you go to bed matters,” Gross says. “If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your

performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same

seven hours’ sleep. So, quantity isn’t everything.”

Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students’

grades. The overall course grades of students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower

than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one

hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtime.

Who knew getting straight A’s just required some extra sleep?

on his original objective, which best describes Professor Gross’s research findings?

A. Accidental. B. Complete.

C. Convincing. D. Doubtful.

were the people taking part in the study?

A. Middle school chemistry students. B. Volunteers from different universities.

C. Professor Gross’s own students. D. University student athletes.

did Professor Gross’s team measure students’ academic performance ?

A. Making the students wear special watches.

B. Using students’ university entrance test results.

C. Giving the students regular quizzes after class.

D. Using the students’ normal test and quiz grades.

on the study’s findings, who is likely to perform best academically?

A. A student who has a good night’s sleep the night before an important test.

B. A student whose normal bedtime varies between and

C. A student who sleeps from to each day.

D. A student who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.

How affordable is high culture? One great myth (错误观念) of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre,

ballets and orchestral (管弦乐的) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in

Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear London’s orchestras range from

￡7 to ￡9—the same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs.

For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat

is ￡30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic it’s an expensive ￡46.

Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn’t so easy. Actually, British companies don’t charge the

ridiculously high prices found on the Continent (￡2,000 for a good seat at the premiere of La Scala’s Carmen last

December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily,

however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene. It’s live cinema transmissions (节目

播送). The Metropolitan Opera in New York now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British

companies aren’t far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (￡10 or

￡15 for the Royal Opera House’s shows), you can sit in your local movie house and see a high-definition relay of

what’s occurring on the world’s grandest stages. No, it’s not the same as being there, but it’s almost as good. The

sound is incredible. The images of dancers are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience,

rather than sitting on your own at home.

To me, a mountain of evidence, together with free museum admission, indicates that the arts world should

stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford

to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that schoolchildren are given

enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.

does the underlined word “infuriating” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. Quite interesting. B. Very annoying.

C. Not certain. D. Extremely obvious.

is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?

A. The amount of money charged by top performers.

B. The costly technology required for broadcasting.

C. The demand of companies for big profits.

D. The high cost of renting the stages.

of the following is true about cinematic opera?

A. People can decide where to watch the opera.

B. Audiences are discouraged from responding to the performances.

C. It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.

D. The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.

statement would the author agree with?

A. The quality of opera performances is improving.

B. High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe.

C. The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.

D. Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.

Learning to understand spoken English can be difficult. Learners must not only master new phrases, but also

learn conversational idioms. That’s a lot to learn! But they may soon realize there is something else going on.

36 These different styles of speaking are called “registers”. In their work, language experts identify three

major factors that affect the register of spoken English: the place of the conversation, the relationship between the

speakers, and the purpose of the conversation.

37 Even two best friends who work and live together may speak more formally to each other in the

office. At home, one might say, “C’mon I wanna leave.” The same person at work might say, “Are you ready to go

now?”

The relationship between the speakers also affects the language they use when talking with each other.

People speak less formally to friends and more formally to strangers. 38 People who know each other well

might use more idioms and more slang in their speech. An angry woman might tell her daughter to “hush your

mouth” and her sister to “quiet down”.

Finally, the purpose of the conversation affects people’s speech. A person who wants to ease hurt feelings

uses a soft, quiet tone. 39

Few speakers realize that they change registers according to these factors. 40 We are not aware that we

make these changes. We accept the changeability of the weather, but we often refuse to accept the changeability of

speech.

A. In fact, most people strongly deny it.

B. People generally speak less at work than they do at home.

C. The very same person speaks differently in different situations.

D. Therefore, we should be careful not to hurt each other with our speech.

E. On the other hand, a person who wants to pick a fight speaks rapidly and loudly.

F. The place where the conversation takes place directly affects the language of the conversation.

G. Because they already share information and experience with friends, they do not need to explain as much.

beyond what their five senses 56 .

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

We all know clean water is important for good health. But now we also know we should watch 61 we

keep our water in. Plastic bottles hardened with a dangerous material 62 (call) BPA can release a chemical into

our water that harms our bodies. Since 2011, many countries 63 (ban) plastic with BPA from use in food

containers and feeding bottles. But are other non-BPA plastics safe?

Plastic labeled BPA-free might use other chemicals that have 64 (harm) effects on health. 65 (study)

have shown that low levels of those chemicals might have the same effects as BPA. So, what should people do?

The 66 (good) material to drink from is glass, 67 has no chemicals that can poison water.

Another good choice 68 a water container is a stainless steel (不锈钢) bottle. Stainless steel bottles are

better than aluminum (铝) bottles, which are covered with thin plastic 69 (protect) the metal from acids (酸).

There are many good food-grade stainless steel water bottles on the market.

If you do decide to use a reusable plastic water bottle, avoid 70 (keep) it in the sun. Sunlight and hot

liquid speed up the release of chemicals into your drinking water.
