Researchers have found that insufficient sleep increases a person39。s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Now, a new study by Boston39。s Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance. Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research, was not trying to find the link between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the 100 students in his introduction to SolidState Chemistry class. Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wristworn device which, tracks a person39。s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement. However, the study, published in the journal “Science Learning” on October 1, 2019, discovered a surprising insight. Then was a straightline relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his/her grade on the 11 quizzes, three midterms, and the final exam administered during the semester. Even more interesting, it was also not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it39。s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most. The time 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. Grossman says. If you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn39。t everything.”(1)What is the new finding about sleep? 39。s essential for a person39。s health. less may cause obesity. too much is dangerous. sleep leads to better grades.(2)What does the underlined word Fitbits in paragraph 2 refer to? devices.. equipment..(3)Which of the following best describes the final result the new study? ....(4)What will benefit students39。 study according to Grossman? for 5 hours each day. to bed at 3 every day. enough sleep while learning. to bed early only before a test.【答案】 (1)D(2)A(3)D(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,一項新研究表明,睡眠質量不足除了對身體健康造成不良影響之外,也會對學習成績產生影響。好的睡眠質量是提高學習成績的關鍵。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據第一段中的“Now, a new study by Boston39。s Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT) has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance. ”現在,波士頓麻省理工學院的一項新研究發(fā)現,充足的睡眠也是提高學習成績的關鍵,可知關于睡眠的新發(fā)現是充足的睡眠會帶來更好的成績。故選D。 (2)考查詞義猜測。根據第二段中的“Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wristworn device which tracks a person39。s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.”可知相反,這位計算材料科學的教授希望這個流行的腕帶設備能夠顯示出體育鍛煉和學術成就之間的聯系??芍狥itbits指的是一種可以穿戴的設備。故選A。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據倒數第三段中的“However, the study, published in the journal “Science Learning” on October 1, 2019, discovered a surprising insight.”然而,發(fā)表在2019年10月1日《科學學習》雜志上的這項研究卻有一個驚人的發(fā)現,其中surprising“令人驚奇的”可推知這項新研究的最終結果是讓人意想不到的。故選D。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據倒數第二段中的“Instead, it39。s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.”相反,最重要的是你在學習期間的睡眠;以及最后一段中的“When you go to bed matters. Grossman says. If you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn39。t everything.”什么時候睡覺很重要。Grossman說。如果你在2點以后睡覺,即使你
