mone (荷爾蒙) that controls the stress response.“The Finnish evacuation was intended to protect children from the harm associated with the country’s wars with the Soviet Union,” said study coauthor Dr Torsten Santavirta, from Uppsala University.“Our observation of the longterm psychiatric (精神病的) risk that reached into the next generation is concerning and stresses the need to weigh benefits as well as potential risks when designing policies for child protection.” 28.

It was conducted right after World War Ⅱ.29. Which method does the author use to develop Paragraph 3?A. By introducing a conclusion. B. By conducting an experiment.C. By making assumptions. D. By supporting opinions.30. How does Dr Santavirta find the Finnish evacuation?A. It didn’t fully fulfill its original purpose. B. It resulted in wars with the Soviet Union.C. It was first suggested by the Soviet Union. D. It was a good example of child protection.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Children’s mental health is greatly influenced by wars.B. Women % mental illness can be passed to the future generation.C. Girls are more likely to suffer from mental problems than boys.D. Mothers, childhood mental condition may affect their daughters.DWhile sleep patterns vary widely among animal classes and species, there are a few general rules of thumb (經(jīng)驗(yàn)法則). Sleep serves important evolutionary functions for all animals, but sleep patterns and positions are based in large part on available food supply and defense mechanisms.Sleep patterns in animals have evolved over time animals that sleep and get attacked by predators (捕食者) are less likely to pass on their genes, so animals have developed ways to protect themselves during sleep. For instance, otters (水獺) sleep holding hands, or cover themselves in seaweed to protect their young and stay afloat while asleep. Likewise, cows and sheep sleep in a group there is safety in numbers.Evolutionary biologists consider that predation and fear of predators have influenced the development of sleep patterns across species. Animals that eat meat tend to sleep more than animals that eat plants. Cathemeral (間歇性的) species like lions sleep in short spells during both the day and night so as to enable them to seize food when it bees available.In general v animals sleep according to what they eat animals that eat food with lower calories sleep less than others. This may explain why plant eaters need to spend more time awake, to ensure they get enough food and energy. For example, plant eaters like giraffes and elephants sleep 30 minutes to just a few hours per day respectively. However, there are exceptions to this rule, like the koala. Their eucalyptus (桉樹)based diet doesn’t give them much energy, but they sleep for almost 15 hours per day, and split the rest of their time eating and resting.A note about the studies referenced in this article: Because most animal sleep studies are performed using EEG tests, they are typically performed on animals in zoos and research facilities. As a result, they may not accurately reflect their natural sleep habits in the wild t given the stresses of a zoo environment and consistent availability of food.32. Why do cows and sheep sleep in groups?A. To protect themselves. B. To pass on their genes.C. To keep themselves warm. D. To get physical closeness.33. What does the underlined phrase “this rule” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Animals eating plants have different sleep patterns.B. Animals rating plants spend short lime eating and resting.C. Animals eating plants need less time to sleep than meat eaters.D. Animals eating plants 30 minutes to a few hours per day.34. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To explain the studies’ dangers. B. To point out the studies’ limitations.C. To describe the studies’ detailed procedures. D. To add the studies’ background information.35. What is the best title of the whole passage?A. Sleep is good for animals’ evolution.B. Animals’ sleep patterns have evolved over time.C. Sleep patterns differ in animal classes and species.D. Food and safety greatly affect animals’ sleep patterns.第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空
