【正文】 traditional “bedtime story” helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and puters in their bedrooms were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours39。 sleep. Even losing one hour39。s sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school. German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you39。re asleep. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. The result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly, suggesting their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you39。ll be at your best tomorrow! （1）What happens to children at school if they don39。t get enough sleep?

The blind can read by using Braillea system of small bumps （隆起物） that the blind touch to read the letters. The machine that makes these small bumps usually costs at least $2,000. It is called Braille typewriter. The American schoolboy, Shu ham Banerjee, made a new Braille typewriter from a Lego tool that lets people create robots. Banerjee has called his new machine the Braigoa bination（組合） of the words Braille and Lego. It costs just $350. It works by changing electronic texts into Braille and then printing it using a puter or a mobile machine. Banerjee designed （設(shè)計(jì)） his Braigo for a school science project. Since then, he has caught the interest of Silicon Valley in the USA. The big technology pany Intel spent money on Banerjee39。s machine in November, but they did not say how much money they put in. Banerjee also got $ 35,000 from his father to help him start the project. His father works as a puter engineer （工程師） at Intel. He spoke about why he gave so much money to his son, saying, started to be interested more, thinking that he39。s on to something and this invention has to continue, dream would probably be having most of the blind people use my Braigo.（1）What is Braille in Paragraph 2? A.A system of bumps to help the blind read.B.The name of a new invention.C.A very cheap machine.D.A Lego robot.（2）What does the Braigo change into Braille? A.Photocopies.B.Voices.C.Electronic texts.D.Computer languages.（3）Why did Banerjee design his invention? A.He did it as a hobby.B.Intel told him to do it.C.He did it for a school science project.D.He wanted to get money from his father.（4）Banerjee39。s parents wanted him to continue to ___________. A.catch Intel39。s interestB.work on his inventionC.be a puter engineerD.use the new Braille typewriter【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】文章大意：一個(gè)美國(guó)學(xué)生舒漢班納吉（ShuHamBanerjee）用一種樂高工具制作了一種新的盲文打字機(jī)，班納吉稱他的新機(jī)器為盲文——盲文和樂高的組合。只要350美元，這是他參與學(xué)?；顒?dòng)的一部分，為此他的父親獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)了他大一筆錢。 （1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù) Braillea system of small bumps （隆起物） that the blind touch to read the letters. 可知盲文是一種隆起的系統(tǒng)，幫助盲人閱讀，故答案是A。 （2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù) It works by changing electronic texts into Braille可知，這種機(jī)器的工作原理是把電子文本轉(zhuǎn)換為盲文 ， 故答案是C。 ???????（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)Banerjee designed （設(shè)計(jì)） his Braigo for a school science project.可知，他做這臺(tái)機(jī)器是為了學(xué)校的一個(gè)項(xiàng)目，故答案是C。 ???????（4）細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù) He spoke about why he gave so much money to his son, saying, started to be interested more, thinking that he39。s on to something and this invention has to continue, 可知，他父親給他那么多錢是為了然他繼續(xù)發(fā)明東西，故答案是B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題。細(xì)節(jié)理解題要可以直接從文中尋找答案；文章出處題需要根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容確定其來源。11．根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 選擇最佳答案。B Do you know how many pandas there are in the world? World Wildlife Fund （WWF） has spent four yours counting pandas in the world. It says there are 1,590 now. In the 1980s, there were only 1,100. So we may say that pandas are lucky because people around the world love them and are trying their best to help them. However, we also say that pandas are unlucky because they are still facing a lot of problems now. Pandas are not good at making babies. Even in the wild, scientists have found that female pandas give birth only every 28 months. That’s why the number of pandas goes up so slo
