【正文】 主要講述兩個來自加拿大的高三學(xué)生利用氣象氣球把他們的玩具樂高人送到太空的過程和結(jié)果，并從中學(xué)到了努力終會有回報。 （1）推理判斷題。根據(jù)畫線部分后面的Two teens from Toronto, in Canada, sent a Lego man rising above the Earth and captured their tiny astronaut39。s trip on ，并且把航空之行的過程拍下來了。這是一件很了不起的事情，故推測這件事吸引了全世界的目光，即畫線部分的意思是吸引了全世界，故選C項。 （2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段的The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT).可知這兩個孩子是受到了兩個麻省理工學(xué)生相似實驗的啟發(fā)，然后做了他們自己的實驗，即他們是這兩個孩子的榜樣，故選A項。 （3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段的They bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man39。s parachute by hand. In total, the project cost only$，甚至自己縫制樂高人的降落傘，所以他們的總費用才花了400美元，故選D項。 （4）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段的We had a lot of anxiety on launch day because there were high winds when we were going up,Mathew told ，在進(jìn)行發(fā)射的那天風(fēng)速很快，這讓他們很擔(dān)心，故選B項。 【點評】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題。細(xì)節(jié)理解題要注意從文中尋找答案；推理判斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文，推斷出需要的信息。7．閱讀理解 The negative (負(fù)面的) health effects of sleep shortages during the week can39。t be changed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study. Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation (缺乏) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes. But there are still some people who hope that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects. The research, published in Current Biology, ruins those hopes. Despite plete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption (代謝紊亂) that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of inadequate sleep, those gains were wiped out when people returned right to their same sleep schedule the next Monday. If there are benefits of catchup sleep, they39。re gone when you go back to your routine. It39。s very shortlived, said Kenneth Wright, who led the research. These health effects are longterm. It39。s kind of like smoking once was — people would smoke and wouldn39。t see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be. Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep — cutting out the optional sleep stealers such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic equipment. Even when people don39。t have a choice about losing sleep due to childcare responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would think about a healthy diet or exercise.（1）What had the researchers already known before doing the new research? A.The actual benefits of weekend recovery sleep.B.Harm to health caused by the lack of routine sleep.C.People39。s habit of shutting off the alarm during holidays.D.The relationship between body weight and sleep amount.（2）Kenneth Wright mentioned smoking to _________. A.call on smokers to pletely abandon smokingB.advise people to go to sleep when they want to smokeC.show people have known the harm brought by smokingD.show people will someday notice the bad effects of sleep deprivation（3）What does the underlined word prioritize probably mean? a low opinion of something. the amount of something. down something that isn39。t necessary any more. something as being more important than others.（4）What can be the best title for the text? Catchup Sleep Is a Lie Sleep Habits Are Harmful to Health New Study Has an Unexpected Discovery and Disadvantages of Catchup Sleep【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，作者通過一項研究與對比舉例的方法讓大家明白周末馬拉松式的“補(bǔ)覺”并不能扭轉(zhuǎn)工作日睡眠不足對健康的負(fù)面影響。人們應(yīng)該把睡眠放在優(yōu)先地位。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation (缺乏) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes”研究人員很早就知道長期的睡眠缺乏會導(dǎo)致體重增加和像糖尿病這樣的健康風(fēng)險，可知，人們很早就知道長期睡眠不足會給身體帶來的危害。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中Kenneth Wright說的最后兩句話可知：長期睡眠不足給健康造成的危害是長期的，就像曾經(jīng)的抽煙習(xí)慣一樣——人們抽煙，沒有看到立即的效應(yīng)，但是現(xiàn)在人們會說抽煙是不健康的生活方式。睡眠不足就像是早期的抽煙一樣。也就是說作者用這個比喻是想讓大家知道終究會有一天人們會注意到睡眠不足帶來的壞處。故選D。 （3）考查詞義猜測。劃線單詞后有一個破折后，起解釋說明的作用。由破折后的句意：減少不必要的“睡眠小偷”式行為，比如看電視節(jié)目或者花時間在電子設(shè)備上?？芍?，我們需要把睡眠放在優(yōu)先的地位。也就是說要把睡眠看的比看電視節(jié)目、看電子設(shè)備等等這些行為更重要。故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。第一段就說明了文章中心。第一段段意為：一項發(fā)人深省的新研究表明，周末馬拉松式的“補(bǔ)覺”并不能扭轉(zhuǎn)工作日睡眠不足對健康的負(fù)面影響。也就是說周末的補(bǔ)覺是一個謊言。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇健康類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Road trip Motorhome delivery offers great family holidays.
