Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time, about eight hours after you wake up, your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. In many parts of the world, people take naps (小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer weather, in which the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. “While you sleep, your brain is working. For example, sleep helps prepare your brain to learn, remember, and create,” says Dr. Maiken Nedergaard, who studies sleep at the University of Rochester. Science reports reveal that naps are good for everyone in any weather. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind, which is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people don’t often have problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unluckily, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps after lunch, employers (老板) do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterwards. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten mınutes of sleep can improve your health and help you work better. 26. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon? A. Because it's very hot in summer. B. Because we eat too much for lunch. C. Because we need to prepare our brain to learn. D. Because our body temperature goes down at that time. 27. What does the underlined word “reveal” mean in the passage? A. Worry. B. Show. C. Mind. D. Forget. 28. According to the passage, when is the best time to take a nap if you get up at 6 a. m.? A. At 11 a. m. B. At 2 p. m. C. At 4 p. m. D. At 6 p. m. 29. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A. To take a short sleep after lunch. B. To take a short sleep too late in the day. C. To improve your health by oversleeping. D. To read more science reports on sleep. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. A Special Sleep B. Just For a Rest C. All Need a Nap D. Causes of Sleepiness 【答案】26 D 27. B 28. B 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍为什么人们在午后容易打瞌睡，建议大家适当休息一下，有益于身体健康。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time, about eight hours after you wake up, your body temperature goes down.”可知，因为那个时候我们的体温下降了，这就是让你感到困倦的原因。 故选D。 【27题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Science reports reveal that naps are good for everyone in any weather.”可知，后文提到了“在任何天气下小睡对每个人都有好处”，因此，划线词是“展示”。故选B。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.”可知，小睡的最佳时间是起床后8小时左右，因此早上6点起来，最佳的午睡时间是下午2点。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten mınutes of sleep can improve your health and help you work better.”可知，文章最后一段建议读者午饭后小睡一会儿。故选A。 【30题详解】 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据“A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind, which is good for health in general.”以及“If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten mınutes of sleep can improve your health and help you work better.”可知，本文主要介绍为什么人们在午后容易打瞌睡，建议大家适当休息一下，有益于身体健康，引出选项C适合作为文章标题。故选C。 C 配对阅读。左栏是五个人的饮食需求，右栏是七则餐馆的用餐评价，请根据五个人的需求选择餐馆，将答案的字母编号填写在提前括号内，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。 ____31____ Alice is planning a 10-day trip with her friends in Paris.

They serve as safety lines for people crossing the street and a symbol of a city’s culture. However, in recent years, most people have been used to using phones while crossing the street. It is unsafe and it may slow down traffic. To deal with the problem, the Star City government started to take action and introduced a new rule in April, 2024. According to the rule, if people use phones while crossing the street, they may face a fifty-yuan fine (罚款). If they don’t want to pay, they can choose to stand by the zebra crossings for an hour as a traffic guide. To increase public understanding of the new rule, the government also puts up posters at bus stops and on websites. According to the number showed by the government, more than 20% of the traffic accidents in Star City last year happened on zebra crossings. The city hopes the new rule can help to cut down that number. “It is important to correct wrong behaviors on the road. Both drivers and walkers will benefit from it,” an official says. 46.

This passage is most probably from ________. A. a textbook B. a story book C. a travel guide D. a magazine B Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time, about eight hours after you wake up, your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. In many parts of the world, people take naps (小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer weather, in which the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. “While you sleep, your brain is working. For example, sleep helps prepare your brain to learn, remember, and create,” says Dr. Maiken Nedergaard, who studies sleep at the University of Rochester. Science reports reveal that naps are good for everyone in any weather. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind, which is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people don’t often have problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unluckily, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps after lunch, employers (老板) do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterwards. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten mınutes of sleep can improve your health and help you work better. 26. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon? A. Because it's very hot in summer. B. Because we eat too much for lunch. C. Because we need to prepare our brain to learn. D. Because our body temperature goes down at that time. 27. What does the underlined word “reveal” mean in the passage? A. Worry. B. Show. C. Mind. D. Forget. 28. According to the passage, when is the best time to take a nap if you get up at 6 a. m.? A. At 11 a. m. B. At 2 p. m. C. At 4 p. m. D. At 6 p. m. 29. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A. To take a short sleep after lunch. B. To take a short sleep too late in the day. C To improve your health by oversleeping. D. To read more science reports on sleep. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. A Special Sleep B. Just For a Rest C. All Need a Nap D. Causes of Sleepiness C 配对阅读。左栏是五个人的饮食需求，右栏是七则餐馆的用餐评价，请根据五个人的需求选择餐馆，将答案的字母编号填写在提前括号内，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。 ____31____ Alice is planning a 10-day trip with her friends in Paris.

They serve as safety lines for people crossing the street and a symbol of a city’s culture. However, in recent years, most people have been used to using phones while crossing the street. It is unsafe and it may slow down traffic. To deal with the problem, the Star City government started to take action and introduced a new rule in April, 2024. According to the rule, if people use phones while crossing the street, they may face a fifty-yuan fine (罚款). If they don’t want to pay, they can choose to stand by the zebra crossings for an hour as a traffic guide. To increase public understanding of the new rule, the government also puts up posters at bus stops and on websites. According to the number showed by the government, more than 20% of the traffic accidents in Star City last year happened on zebra crossings. The city hopes the new rule can help to cut down that number. “It is important to correct wrong behaviors on the road. Both drivers and walkers will benefit from it,” an official says. 46. What do most people always do when they are crossing the street? ______________________________ 47. When was the new rule introduced? ______________________________ 48.
