A. alone; alone B. alone; lonely C. lonely; alone D. lonely; lonely 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的祖父独自住在一个小村庄里，但他从不感到孤独。 考查alone和lonely的辨析。alone单独地、独自的，经常用作副词；lonely孤独的、寂寞的，指内心的孤独，形容词。第一空修饰动词live，应该用副词alone；根据第二空前的“feels”提示，此处指的是内心的感受，故第二空应用形容词lonely作表语。故选B。 22.

A. at B. by C. for D. with 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：天气不好时，火车通常低速行驶。 考查介词辨析。at以；by通过；for为了；with和。at low speed“低速”，是固定搭配，故选A。 23. —David, when will you arrive? —Maybe at half past seven or a quarter to eight. ________, I’ll certainly be there before eight.

He’s just too..., but in fact he is good to us.”可知，此处表示“他只是太直接”，其他选项不符合句意。故选D。 28. —I hear that your good friend ________ books about history. —Yes, but now he ________ science books.

The next day, Hippo carried water for the animals to drink. “Camel, come and carry water like the rest of us,” said Hippo. “Humph,” said Camel. The third day, Coyote carried food for the animals to eat. “Camel, come and carry food like the rest of us,” said Coyote. Camel didn’t move. He simply responded, “Humph!” This made the animals very angry. “Camel is lazy, and we work hard,” they said. “We will go to visit Genie (精灵) to see if he can help us. ” Zebra, Hippo and Coyote went to Genie and told him about Camel’s laziness. Genie went to Camel’s home and found him resting. “Stubborn Camel, you have been lazy. You must work with the other animals and help them,” Genie said. “Humph,” Camel replied. “Do not say that again,” said Genie, “You have given the other animals three days of extra work.” “Humph,” Camel snapped. Genie waved his arms, and Camel’s flat back began to puff up into a big bump (隆起), as Camel watched in surprise. “You brought this humph (we call it “hump” now) upon yourself by being lazy,” said Genie, “Now you must work for three days without drinking or eating tomake up forthe work you missed.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲了骆驼很懒，动物们叫他帮忙他都不肯，于是动物们去找精灵，精灵为了惩罚骆驼，便让他长出了驼峰，以此告诫骆驼努力工作。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Instead of working, he spent his days chewing (咀嚼) sticks, eating twigs, and drinking water.”可知，它不工作，只知道吃喝，故选D。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Genie went to Camel’s home and found him resting.”可知，骆驼正在休息，故选C。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘Camel, come and carry sticks like the rest of us,’ said Zebra. ‘Humph,’ said Camel.”，“‘Camel, come and carry water like the rest of us,’ said Hippo. ‘Humph,’ said Camel.”，“The third day, Coyote carried food for the animals to eat. ‘Camel, come and carry food like the rest of us,’ said Coyote. Camel didn’t move. He simply responded, ‘Humph!’”，“This made the animals very angry...Zebra, Hippo and Coyote went to Genie and told him about Camel’s laziness.”及“Genie waved his arms, and Camel’s flat back began to puff up into a big bump (隆起), as Camel watched in surprise.”并结合全文内容，可知文章的顺序为骆驼拒绝了斑马，河马运送食物时，骆驼什么也没做，骆驼不愿意带水给动物喝，当土狼搬运食物时，骆驼什么也没做，结果让其他动物很生气，告诉了精灵，精灵让骆驼背上有个驼峰，作为它懒惰的代价，故选C。 【59题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“You have given the other animals three days of extra work.”及“Now you must work for three days without drinking or eating to make up for the work you missed.”可知，此处是讲你必须工作三天不喝不吃东西来弥补你错过的工作，make up for意为“补偿”，与make a situation better through work“通过工作让情况变得更好”意思相近，故选D。 【60题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“And that’s how the camel got his hump.”可知，文章围绕这个话题，讲了骆驼很懒，动物们叫他帮忙他都不肯，于是动物们去找精灵，精灵为了惩罚骆驼，便让他长出了驼峰，解释了驼峰的由来，故选A。 D Did you know that some students don’t do their reading assignments (作业), not even short texts? There are many reasons for this. Students may be bored or not willing to give special attention. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why. Reading makes your mind active. It is like the exercise for your brain. When people get old, they become weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains (头脑) when they get older. Brain power and speed decline (衰退) with age. Reading can prevent these declines. You can get help from reading in the near future too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way is to practise. Read everything that you can at school, whether you find it interesting or not. Reading adds to your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express (表达) yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more wisely. Do not just consider a text unimportant because you don’t know about it. Each time you read, you are provided with new ideas. Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader way of thinking. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures different from your own. Reading is good for your feeling. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can get away from your troubles for a moment when you read. So the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Then move on to the next one. 61. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Reading is exciting and relaxing. B. Exercise keeps your body in shape. C. Reading prevents your mind declining. D. Age influences (影响) the body in many ways. 62. Why does the writer think that you should read boring books? A. You will make your teacher very happy. B. You will learn new words through reading. C. You will get better grades in the reading tests. D. You will finally love them if you read them through. 63. What doesn’t the writer write about in the text? A. Reading helps you calm down. B. Reading teaches you about cultures. C. Reading can lower your stress levels. D. Reading helps you prepare for your job. 64. Which is the writer’s main purpose in writing this text? A. He is teaching students how to become better readers. B. He is telling readers fun facts about the mind and body. C. He is trying to advise students to do their reading work. D. He is explaining why students don’t do their reading work. 65. What is the best title for this text? A. Reading: The Key to a Successful Future B. Reading: Good for the Mind in Many Ways C. Reading: Improve Your Vocabulary While Having Fun D. Reading: The Best Way to Improve Your Writing Skills 【答案】61. C 62. B 63. D 64. C 65. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，向我们介绍了阅读一些好处。 【61题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Reading makes your mind active…Reading can prevent these declines.”可知，阅读可以让大脑活跃，预防大脑衰退。故选C。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Reading adds to your vocabulary. Even a ‘boring’ text can teach you new words.”可知，阅读可以提升词汇量，即使是无聊的文章也会教给你新的单词。故选B。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Reading can change the way that you understand the world…You can learn about cultures different from your own.”和“Reading is good for your feeling. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can get away from your troubles for a moment when you read.”可知，阅读可以改变你理解世界的方式，你可以了解不同的文化；阅读可以降低你的压力水平，帮助你放松；可以暂时摆脱一下烦恼，让自己冷静下来。文章没有提到阅读帮助为工作做准备，故选D。 【64题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Did you know that some students don’t do their reading assignments (作业), not even short texts?”和“So the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Then move on to the next one.”以及全文可知，很多学生不喜欢做阅读作业，本文向我们介绍了阅读的一些好处，旨在建议学生多去阅读，故选C。 【65题详解】 最佳标题题。本文向我们介绍了阅读的一些好处，选项B“阅读：在很多方面对头脑有好处”符合主题，故选B。 第二部分 非选择题 (65分) 五、词汇运用。 (每空不限一词, 共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分)。 66. Hobo ________ (eat) up all the food on the plate. Now there isn’t anything on it. 【答案】has eaten 【解析】 【详解】句意：霍博吃光了盘子里所有的食物。现在上面什么也没有了。根据“Now there isn’t anything on it.”可知，“吃光”这个动作已经完成，且对现在有影响，应用现在完成时，主语Hobo为第三人称单数，助动词要用has。故填has eaten。 67. They are willing to share their happiness and sadness with their ________ (wife). 【答案】wives 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们愿意和他们的妻子分享他们的快乐和悲伤。根据“their”可知，此处名词要用复数形式，wife“妻子”的复数为wives。故填wives。 68. Listening to music is a good way to relax after a _________ (day) work. 【答案】day’s 【解析】 【详解】句意：听音乐是一天工作后放松好方法。这里表示一个天的工作，表示时间的名词，可以在名词后加’s构成所有格，a day’s work表示一天的工作。根据句意，故填day’s。 69. When I got ________ (marry), my parents felt very happy. 【答案】married 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我结婚的时候，我的父母感到非常高兴。根据“got”和所给提示词可知，此处应表示结婚，get married“结婚”符合句意。故填married。 70.

Clear waters and green hills are as good as mountains of gold and silver. 【答案】pollution 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：——政府已采取行动制止水和空气污染。——对。碧水青山，好似金山银山。空处的词有名词“water and air“修饰，故应用名词，作宾语；pollute，污染，动词，对应的名词是pollution，不可数。故填pollution。 72. Everyone except Tom and Sam ________ (fall) asleep already. 【答案】has fallen 【解析】 【详解】句意：除了汤姆和萨姆，每个人都已经睡着了。根据“already”可知，时态为现在完成时态，结构是have/has+动词的过去分词；主语“Everyone”为复合不定代词，动词用第三人称单数形式has；fall的过去分词是fallen。故填has fallen。 73.

Why do students sometimes fall asleep in class? An obvious (明显的) reason is lack (缺乏) of sleep. However, there are also causes for getting too little sleep. Homework is a daily thing for most students, one that can take three to four hours per night to finish it. A student who wants to be able to take part in any activity besides homework must stay up late to fit everything in. Club activities, sports, computer-game playing, and TV viewing, for example, all make students have less time for both homework and sleep. Sometimes students lack sleep because of after-school jobs for their families. Physical (身体的) problems can also cause students to fall asleep in class. Insomnia (失眠), which may keep a student up at night, causing exhaustion (疲惫不堪) during class hours, is a serious problem. Medical evidence (证据) also supports the idea that each person has a body clock that helps to decide his or her sleep pattern (模式). Unluckily, these body clocks don’t always go well with their school timetables. The effects (影响) of falling asleep in class can be quite serious. First of all, sleeping in class is not a good way to endear (使受喜爱) yourself to teachers. And students may make jokes about those who sleep in class. However, the most serious effect of sleeping in class is missing out on important points. In the long run (从长远看), sleepers may end up failing classes. Since students are probably not going to deal with the problem, falling asleep in class will probably remain an all-too-common thing. It will continue (继续) until more teens find a way to balance their personal and social lives with school and work on their own, while still finding enough time to sleep. Introduction Time have changed, but falling asleep in class ____76____ happens. Causes Lack of sleep  To ____77____ doing their homework, students may have to work three to four hours every night.  To take part in ____78____ and finish homework, students may stay up late.  To spare (抽出) time for after-school jobs, students may not have ____79____ time to sleep. Physical problems  Insomnia may ____80____ students from falling asleep at night.  Students’ body clocks do not always ____81____ their school timetables. Effects  Teachers will not ____82____ the students who sleep in class.  ____83____ students will laugh at those who sleep in class.  Students who sleep too much in class may ____84____ in their study. Conclusion The problem will not be solved until students _____85_____ can manage (管理) their lives, deal with their school and work, and then still have time to sleep. 【答案】76. usually 77. finish 78. activities 79. enough##much 80. keep##stop##prevent 81. match 82. like##love 83. Other 84. fail 85. themselves 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了学生在课堂上睡觉这一现象，以及这种现象出现的原因和产生的影响。 【76题详解】 根据“Times have changed, but falling asleep in class is still a usual thing among students.”可知，时代变了，但是课堂上睡着仍是普遍发生的现象。usually“通常”，频度副词。故填usually。 【77题详解】 根据“Homework is a daily thing for most students, one that can take three to four hours per night to finish it.”可知，为了完成家庭作业，学生每晚可能要花费三到四小时。finish“完成”，不定式符号to后用动词原形。故填finish。 【78题详解】 根据“A student who wants to be able to take part in any activity besides homework must stay up late to fit everything in.”可知，参加任何活动和完成作业，学生都有可能会熬夜。activity“活动”，可数名词，此处用复数形式表示多种活动。故填activities。 【79题详解】 根据“Sometimes students lack sleep because of after-school jobs for their families.”可知，由于课后的工作，学生可能会缺乏睡眠，即没有足够或很多的时间睡觉。enough“充足的”，much“很多的”，修饰不可数名词time。故填enough/much。 【80题详解】 根据“Insomnia, which may keep a student up at night”可知，失眠会让学生彻夜难眠。“keep/stop/prevent sb. from doing sth.”意为“阻止某人做某事”，情态动词may后用动词原形。故填keep/stop/prevent。 【81题详解】 根据“these body clocks don’t always go well with their school timetables”可知，学生的生物钟不能总是与学校时间表一致。match“相同；一致”，助动词do后用动词原形。故填match。 【82题详解】 根据“sleeping in class is not a good way to endear yourself to teachers”可知，老师不会喜欢上课睡觉的学生。like/love“喜欢”，助动词will后用动词原形。故填like/love。 【83题详解】 根据“And students may make jokes about those who sleep in class. ”可知，学生可能会拿那些上课睡觉的学生开玩笑。other“其它的”，形容词作定语，位于句首首字母大写。故填Other。 【84题详解】 根据“sleepers may end up failing classes”可知，课堂上睡觉的学生最后可能会挂科。fail in“失败”，情态动词may后用动词原形。故填fail。 【85题详解】 根据“It will continue until more teens find a way to balance their personal and social lives with school and work on their own, while still finding enough time to sleep.”可知，这种情况将持续下去，直到学生能够管理他们的生活，处理好学业和工作，然后还有时间睡觉时，问题才能解决。设空处作主语的同位语表示强调，应填写students的反身代词，即“他们自己”，其英文表达为themselves。故填themselves。 七、综合填空。 (共10空; 每空不限一词; 每空1. 5分, 满分15分) 用所给词的适当形式填空，或根据上下文填入适当的词。 George was a ____86____ (drive). He spent much time on his work so he could hardly have a meal together with his wife and ____87____ (child). In the evenings he attended classes to get knowledge, which one day would help him to find a better job. George’s family often complained (抱怨) that he was not spending enough time with them, but his only answer was that he was doing all this for his family. He wanted to work hard ____88____ (provide) his family with the best that he could do. Soon George got a good job after he had passed his exams. But his family still did not get enough attention from George. He continued to work very hard and often he did not get to see his family most of the week. Time ____89____ (pass) and George was promoted (提升). He thought that their house was small for ____90____ (they) family and they needed a bigger one. Then he needed to work even ____91____ (hard), so that he would be promoted again. George worked so hard that sometimes he even had to spend his Sundays with his clients (顾客) instead of his wife and children. And again, whenever his family ____92____ (ask) for his time and complained that they didn’t spend enough time together, he said that he was doing all this only for them. Some time later George was promoted again, so he could buy a bigger house ____93____ a beautiful garden. On the ____94____ (one) Sunday evening at their new home, George told his wife and kids that he decided ____95____ (not work) so hard, so that he could spend more time with his beloved family. But the very next morning, George did not wake up. 【答案】86. driver 87. children 88. to provide 89. passed 90. their 91. harder 92. asked 93. with 94. first 95. not to work 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了乔治总是想通过努力工作来给家人提供更好生活，忽略了对家人的照顾和陪伴，最后他决定不要这么拼命，这样可以多陪伴家人，但在他告诉家人这个决定的第二天早上他却再也没有醒来。 【86题详解】 句意：乔治是名司机。根据a可知，此空应填名词driver“司机”，故填driver。 【87题详解】 句意：他把很多时间都花在了工作上，所以他几乎不能和妻子孩子一起吃饭。根据下文“his wife and children”可知，孩子不止一个，所以此空应填复数名词，故填children。 【88题详解】 句意：他想努力工作，尽自己所能为家人提供最好的生活。根据“work hard… his family with the best that he could do”可知，努力工作的目的是为了让家人过上最好的生活，动词不定式作目的状语，故填to provide。 【89题详解】 句意：时间流逝，乔治升职了。根据was可知，此句是一般过去时，动词用过去式，故填passed。 【90题详解】 句意：他认为他们的房子对他们家来说太小了，他们需要一个更大的。此空修饰名词family，应填形容词性物主代词，故填their。 【91题详解】 句意：然后他需要更加努力地工作，这样他就会再次升职。even修饰比较级，所以此空应填比较级harder，故填harder。 【92题详解】 句意：还有，每当他的家人向他要时间，抱怨他们在一起的时间太少时，他都说他所做的一切都是为了他们。根据complained可知，此句是一般过去时，动词用过去式，故填asked。 【93题详解】 句意：过了一段时间，乔治又被提升了，所以他可以买一幢带漂亮花园的大房子了。根据“a bigger house …a beautiful garden”可知，带有漂亮花园的大房子，with“有”，故填with。 【94题详解】 句意：在他们新家的第一个周日晚上，乔治告诉他的妻子和孩子，他决定不那么辛苦地工作，这样他就可以有更多的时间和他深爱的家人在一起。此处用序数词表示顺序，表示第一个周日晚上，故填first。 【95题详解】 句意：在他们新家的第一个周日晚上，乔治告诉他的妻子和孩子，他决定不那么辛苦地工作，这样他就可以有更多的时间和他深爱的家人在一起。decide not to do sth“决定不要做某事”，固定搭配，故填not to work。 八、书面表达。(满分25分) 96. “读万卷书，行万里路”。假如你是李明，你校英语报正在举行征文比赛，主题是A Wonderful Trip。请你根据下面的思维导图的提示，写一篇英语短文比赛，词数不少于90。 Who—my parents; When, where and how—fly to Beijing, three hours; last summer, …; What activities—1. the Great Wall: enjoy the natural beauty, …; 2. the Palace Museum: see so many beautiful works, …; 3. the Summer Palace: beautiful, go boating on Kunming Lake, relax after, …; Your ideas: … A Wonderful Trip My parents and I went on a trip to Beijing last summer. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： A Wonderful Trip My parents and I went on a trip to Beijing last summer.

C Long ago, there was a camel who lived alone in the desert. He was lazy. Instead of working, he spent his days chewing (咀嚼) sticks, eating twigs, and drinking water. Many other animals worked hard, and they tried to get Camel to help them. But each time, the stubborn (固执的) camel simply said, “Humph (哼哼). ” One day, Zebra carried sticks to make a fire for animals. “Camel, come and carry sticks like the rest of us,” said Zebra. “Humph,” said Camel. The next day, Hippo carried water for the animals to drink. “Camel, come and carry water like the rest of us,” said Hippo. “Humph,” said Camel. The third day, Coyote carried food for the animals to eat. “Camel, come and carry food like the rest of us,” said Coyote. Camel didn’t move. He simply responded, “Humph!” This made the animals very angry. “Camel is lazy, and we work hard,” they said. “We will go to visit Genie (精灵) to see if he can help us. ” Zebra, Hippo and Coyote went to Genie and told him about Camel’s laziness. Genie went to Camel’s home and found him resting. “Stubborn Camel, you have been lazy. You must work with the other animals and help them,” Genie said. “Humph,” Camel replied. “Do not say that again,” said Genie, “You have given the other animals three days of extra work.” “Humph,” Camel snapped. Genie waved his arms, and Camel’s flat back began to puff up into a big bump (隆起), as Camel watched in surprise. “You brought this humph (we call it “hump” now) upon yourself by being lazy,” said Genie, “Now you must work for three days without drinking or eating tomake up forthe work you missed. You can live off your hump (驼峰).” So Camel went off to work, humphing the whole day. And that’s how the camel got his hump. 56. What did Camel do each day? A. He carried food like many other animals.

A. tell a story or an excuse B. complete a task together C. separate (区分) different things D. make a situation better through work 60. What is the best title for this story? A. How the Camel Got His Hump B. How the Camel Replied to Others C How the Camel Made Others Angry D. How the Camel Became Hard-working D Did you know that some students don’t do their reading assignments (作业), not even short texts? There are many reasons for this. Students may be bored or not willing to give special attention. They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here’s why. Reading makes your mind active. It is like the exercise for your brain. When people get old, they become weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people’s brains (头脑) when they get older. Brain power and speed decline (衰退) with age. Reading can prevent these declines. You can get help from reading in the near future too. Reading provides knowledge. Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more. But you have to get good at reading, and the only way is to practise. Read everything that you can at school, whether you find it interesting or not. Reading adds to your vocabulary. Even a “boring” text can teach you new words. Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express (表达) yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and think more wisely. Do not just consider a text unimportant because you don’t know about it. Each time you read, you are provided with new ideas. Reading can change the way that you understand the world. It can give you a broader way of thinking. You can learn how people live in faraway places. You can learn about cultures different from your own. Reading is good for your feeling. It can lower your stress levels and help you relax. You can get away from your troubles for a moment when you read. So the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you can from it. Then move on to the next one. 61. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Reading is exciting and relaxing. B. Exercise keeps your body in shape. C. Reading prevents your mind declining. D. Age influences (影响) the body in many ways. 62. Why does the writer think that you should read boring books? A. You will make your teacher very happy. B. You will learn new words through reading. C. You will get better grades in the reading tests. D. You will finally love them if you read them through. 63. What doesn’t the writer write about in the text? A. Reading helps you calm down. B. Reading teaches you about cultures. C. Reading can lower your stress levels. D. Reading helps you prepare for your job. 64. Which is the writer’s main purpose in writing this text? A. He is teaching students how to become better readers. B. He is telling readers fun facts about the mind and body. C. He is trying to advise students to do their reading work. D. He is explaining why students don’t do their reading work. 65. What is the best title for this text? A. Reading: The Key to a Successful Future B. Reading: Good for the Mind in Many Ways C. Reading: Improve Your Vocabulary While Having Fun D. Reading: The Best Way to Improve Your Writing Skills 第二部分 非选择题 (65分) 五、词汇运用。 (每空不限一词, 共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分)。 66.

Why do students sometimes fall asleep in class? An obvious (明显的) reason is lack (缺乏) of sleep. However, there are also causes for getting too little sleep. Homework is a daily thing for most students, one that can take three to four hours per night to finish it. A student who wants to be able to take part in any activity besides homework must stay up late to fit everything in. Club activities, sports, computer-game playing, and TV viewing, for example, all make students have less time for both homework and sleep. Sometimes students lack sleep because of after-school jobs for their families. Physical (身体的) problems can also cause students to fall asleep in class. Insomnia (失眠), which may keep a student up at night, causing exhaustion (疲惫不堪) during class hours, is a serious problem. Medical evidence (证据) also supports the idea that each person has a body clock that helps to decide his or her sleep pattern (模式). Unluckily, these body clocks don’t always go well with their school timetables. The effects (影响) of falling asleep in class can be quite serious. First of all, sleeping in class is not a good way to endear (使受喜爱) yourself to teachers. And students may make jokes about those who sleep in class. However, the most serious effect of sleeping in class is missing out on important points. In the long run (从长远看), sleepers may end up failing classes. Since students are probably not going to deal with the problem, falling asleep in class will probably remain an all-too-common thing. It will continue (继续) until more teens find a way to balance their personal and social lives with school and work on their own, while still finding enough time to sleep. Introduction Time have changed, but falling asleep in class ____76____ happens. Causes Lack of sleep  To ____77____ doing their homework, students may have to work three to four hours every night.  To take part in ____78____ and finish homework, students may stay up late.  To spare (抽出) time for after-school jobs, students may not have ____79____ time to sleep. Physical problems  Insomnia may ____80____ students from falling asleep at night.  Students’ body clocks do not always ____81____ their school timetables. Effects  Teachers will not ____82____ the students who sleep in class.  ____83____ students will laugh at those who sleep in class.  Students who sleep too much in class may ____84____ in their study. Conclusion The problem will not be solved until students _____85_____ can manage (管理) their lives, deal with their school and work, and then still have time to sleep. 七、综合填空。 (共10空; 每空不限一词; 每空1. 5分, 满分15分) 用所给词的适当形式填空，或根据上下文填入适当的词。 George was a ____86____ (drive).
