Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.
When I got older and started going to school, we couldn’t watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious.
At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand what she was doing. As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs, I felt like I had found complete pleasure.
At last, my parents decided that I could take care of myself, and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.
My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.
24. The passage is developed in order of .
A. time B. place
C. logic D. events
25. While helping her grandmother bake, the author .
A. missed the game shows
B. refused to go to school
C. showed great interest
D. could take care of herself
26. What does the underlined word “thorny” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Basic. B. Common.
C. Difficult. D. Special.
27. From the passage we know the author’s grandmother .
A. lived with her family
B. was very skilled at baking
C. published a recipe book
D. had been on a game show
C
Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out (持久的) increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs crossed.
Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle . While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.
So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.
28. What can we learn about crossing one's legs?
A. It is a very bad social habit.
B. It is usually practiced deliberately.
C. It can make others feel uncomfortable.
D. It can do harm to people's health.
29. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can ______.
A. resist gravity effectively B. affect your blood pressure
C. lead to heart attacks easily D. improve the function of legs
30. The text is probably taken from a ______.
A. health book B. fashion book
C. geography textbook D. history book
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Give readers some advice. B. Compare common habits.
C. Evaluate effects of an experiment. D. Introduce research methods.
D
If you live in Washington, D. C., or Redwood, Calif., you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding its own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker.
The robots, which look like electric rice cookers with wheels, were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.
This week, the company revealed plans to broaden it’s delivery service beyond food to include packages, a move that made it “the world’s first robot package delivery service”. The package delivery service is only available in some cities in the US.
The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and and can detect barriers from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything,” says Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D. C. office, “If you have something in the way, it’s able to climb it.” By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft.
To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a home address, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com.
Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notice that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot. The robots are opened by customers with a mobile phone code (代码).
32. What do we know about Starship Technologies company?
A. Packages are delivered by its robots all round America.
B. Its robots have taken on package delivery for a long time.
C. It is the first to provide robot package delivery service.
D. Its delivery service is the best of all in the world.
33. What does the underlined word “combat” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Delay. B. Prevent.
C. Report. D. Discover.
34. What can we learn about robot package delivery service?
A. Customers can’t open the robots without a mobile phone code.
B. Starship Delivery Address is the customer’s home address.
C. Customers have to pay a little more than $10 each time.
D. Robots themselves have control over when to deliver packages.
35. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. Robot Delivery Service Is Taking Off
B. Humans Are Being Replaced by Robots
C. Everything Can Be Done by Robots
D. Packages Can Be Delivered by Robots

Ways to boost your chances of a good night’s rest
Experts have found more evidence of the harm caused by disturbing our body clocks, linking it to depression and mental disorder. It’s a warning to our body’s natural rhythms, which influence our sleep as well as a range of other processes in our body. Here are the things we can do for a good night’s sleep.
●Limit evening light. Are you inseparable from your mobile phone? Do you check your social media late into the night? ______36______ These devices produce powerful blue light that is particularly bad for our sleep. Having a cut-off time for stopping using these devices of an hour and a half before bed is ideal. We should also limit other forms of electric light after sunset.
●______37______ A glass or two of wine, or a sip or two of brandy, for many is a pre-bed routine. But despite what you might think, experts say that a glass of wine before bedtime actually doesn’t improve our sleep. Alcohol has a strange effect in that it makes it easier to fall asleep, but it makes it harder to stay asleep and it affects the quality of our sleep.
●Be consistent. It may be tempting to stay up late on Friday or Saturday._______38_______This helps to reduce social mismatch between when we sleep during the working week compared with the weekend. The bigger the social mismatch, the more harmful it is for health.
●Have a pre-bed routine. Having a pre-bed routine helps signal to our bodies that it’s time for sleep. Activities such as reading a book or having a bath can help to mentally relax and get us ready for bed. Parents do this with their child to get good sleep. They have a set routine where they feed, bath their children and put them into bed.____39____
●Make your bedroom a place of rest. Easily portable computers and phones have transformed our bedrooms from sanctuaries (保护区) of rest into places of entertainment. But if we want to boost our chances of a good night’s rest, we need to reclaim them for sleep._______40_______ Keeping your bedroom cool is also important because it’s easier for our bodies to sleep in colder temperatures.
A. Avoid a night wine.
B. Get a good night’s sleep.
C. If so, you’re likely to be disturbing your sleep.
D. There’s nothing around them and then they read them a story.
E. To do this we should keep phones and computers in other rooms.
F. Our body clocks are designed to follow the rise and fall of our sleep.
G. However, ideally we should go to bed at similar times throughout the week.

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
That summer I turned 18. I was wild with excitement because I just took my driving license and my parents bought me a new perfect car. I was reminded repeatedly by my parents to drive cautiously. Along with this new privilege (特权) came new responsibilities. I would practice the same routine — call my parents and tell them where I was going, whom I was with, and when I would be home. It became a typical cycle.
I had been working all day in the hot sun. I was exhausted and ready for a nap. But I was hungry. So I called my friend Mike and made our way into town. After our meal, we never knew our day would soon change for the worse.
It takes only a moment to turn your life upside down. I was driving fast. Actually too fast.
Mike and I were driving down a dust y gravel (沙砾) road. I was driving a shiny black Saturn, which was the car I had admired for long. I was filled with excitement and pride to be driving it. I could see the rolling hills in the distance. Tall pine (松树) trees traveled on both sides of the road. The music playing loudly, we both were in high spirits. Somehow, without realizing it, I sped up.
Enjoying ourselves in my car, we came across a loose spot of gravel. My car was stuck in it and desperate to escape. My car started fishtailing (摆尾行驶). Terrified, I tried to stop the car and all of a sudden the car lost control. I froze, my body was stiff, great panic holding me entirely in its power. Looking into the right, I took a glimpse of Mike, whose body had leaned towards me. His face went pale but he was trying to balance himself. The car was rushing left to right, coasting (惯性滑行) along the g ravel as if it were ice. It was only seconds later that my car crashed head-on into a big pine tree.
I heard a roaring sound of my car hitting the tree.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fortunately enough, Mike and I were not seriously injured.

【原文】M: Good morning, everybody. I’m going to share with you my writing experiences. I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I’ve been to many countries such as Britain, Italy and Sweden. So I spend a lot of time at airports. While waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day, when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple. They were buying magazines at that moment.
They were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase. Every few seconds, the woman looked around. I wondered if someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away and you know this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day: a bank clerk stole one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife. There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the thieves. Maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other, and the woman walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that. But I find things like that are very useful for my writing.

Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.
When I got older and started going to school, we couldn’t watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious.
At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand what she was doing. As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs, I felt like I had found complete pleasure.
At last my parents decided that I could take care of myself, and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.
My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.
24. The passage is developed in order of .
A. time B. place
C. logic D. events
25. While helping her grandmother bake, the author .
A. missed the game shows

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲的是“我”的父母没时间陪我,我从小跟着祖母一块长大,并且经常和祖母一起烘培,最后我也找到了自己真正的乐趣。然后我自己开始烘焙,每当我遇到什么难题时,我都会给祖母打电话寻求建议。祖母不仅教会了我如何烘焙,还教会了我生活。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. (当我还是个小女孩的时候,我的父母都全职工作,所以我的祖母白天会呆在我们家里)”,第二段中的“When I got older and started going to school, we couldn’t watch our game shows regularly. (当我长大并开始上学时,我们不能定期观看我们的游戏节目)”和最后一段中的“My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. (我的祖母十年前去世了,但我仍然每天想起她)”可知,此文章是按时间顺序写的。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs, I felt like I had found complete pleasure. (随着年龄的增长,她让我帮她做一些简单的事情,比如测量糖的含量。那天她让我把鸡蛋分开,我觉得我找到了完全的乐趣)”可知,刚开始是帮助祖母烘焙,到最后作者已经完全找到了乐趣,说明作者对烘焙感兴趣。故选C。

(我尝试了新的食谱,每当我遇到thorny部分时,我都会打电话给祖母征求意见)”可知,作者开始自己照顾自己,自己烘焙,可得出作者烘焙时遇到一个困难的地方,就会给祖母打电话寻求意见,thorny在此处意为“Difficult (困难的)”。故选C。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious. (在厨房里看着她真是太棒了:她似乎从不需要食谱,但她做的每一样东西都很美味)”可知,祖母似乎不需要菜谱,她做的每一道菜都很好吃,说明祖母非常擅长烘焙。故选B。

Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out (持久的) increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs crossed.
Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle . While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.
So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.
28. What can we learn about crossing one's legs?
A. It is a very bad social habit.
B. It is usually practiced deliberately.
C. It can make others feel uncomfortable.
D. It can do harm to people's health.
29. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can ______.
A. resist gravity effectively B. affect your blood pressure
C. lead to heart attacks easily D. improve the function of legs
30. The text is probably taken from a ______.
A. health book B. fashion book
C. geography textbook D. history book
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Give readers some advice. B. Compare common habits.
C. Evaluate effects of an experiment. D. Introduce research methods.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. A
【解析】

细节题理解。根据文章第一段最后一句“While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.”(虽然你可能会发现一个膝盖交叉在另一个膝盖上坐着很舒服,但这可能会导致你没有意识到的健康问题)可知关于交叉双腿,我们能了解到:它会危害人们的健康。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure.”(一项调查研究显示,坐着的时候翘二郎腿会使你的血压升高)可知,根据这项研究,双腿交叉坐着可以影响血压。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,作者先引出了跷二郎腿这个人们常有的习惯,再利用研究的结果来说明,跷二郎腿对健康有害,比如:会升高血压;导致神经损伤,最后作者给出了建议,劝导人们养成双脚着地的习惯,不要跷二郎腿。由此可知,作者写本文就是为了奉劝人们为了健康着想,不要跷二郎腿。因此推断可能选自健康书籍。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.”(交叉双腿是一种非常普遍的习惯;大多数人坐下来时甚至没有注意到他们正在做这件事。虽然你可能会发现一个膝盖交叉在另一个膝盖上坐着很舒服,但这可能会导致你没有意识到的健康问题)和最后一段的“So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.(所以下次你坐下来的时候,试着让自己养成双脚着地的习惯。它不仅有助于你的姿势和稳定性,而且从长远来看还能保护你的健康)”可知,文章主要讲述了人们在现实生活中翘二郎腿的习惯是非常不好的,会引起身体的不适,同时就此给出了一些建议。结合选项,这篇文章的主要是给读者一些建议。故选A。
D
If you live in Washington, D. C., or Redwood, Calif., you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding its own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker.
The robots, which look like electric rice cookers with wheels, were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.
This week, the company revealed plans to broaden it’s delivery service beyond food to include packages, a move that made it “the world’s first robot package delivery service”. The package delivery service is only available in some cities in the US.
The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and and can detect barriers from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything,” says Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D. C. office, “If you have something in the way, it’s able to climb it.” By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft.
To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a home address, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com.
Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notice that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot. The robots are opened by customers with a mobile phone code (代码).
32. What do we know about Starship Technologies company?
A. Packages are delivered by its robots all round America.
B. Its robots have taken on package delivery for a long time.
C. It is the first to provide robot package delivery service.
D. Its delivery service is the best of all in the world.
33 What does the underlined word “combat” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Delay. B. Prevent.
C. Report. D. Discover.
34. What can we learn about robot package delivery service?
A. Customers can’t open the robots without a mobile phone code.
B. Starship Delivery Address is the customer’s home address.
C. Customers have to pay a little more than $10 each time.
D. Robots themselves have control over when to deliver packages.
35. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. Robot Delivery Service Is Taking Off
B. Humans Are Being Replaced by Robots
C. Everything Can Be Done by Robots
D. Packages Can Be Delivered by Robots
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲了在美国的一些城市,包裹可以由机器人运送了。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第三段This week, the company revealed plans to broaden it’s delivery service beyond food to include packages, a move that made it “the world’s first robot paokage delivery service”.(本周,该公司公布了将送货服务从食品扩展到包裹的计划,此举使其成为“世界上第一家送货机器人”。)由此可知星际飞船技术公司是第一家提供机器人包裹递送服务的公司,故选C。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。上文By giving customers control of when deliveries occur说通过让客户控制何时发货,推断出下文Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft.的意思是星际飞船技术公司正在推广其服务,作为一种打击包裹盗窃的方式。combat意思是“阻止”,A. delay.延期;B. prevent.阻止;C. report.报告;D. discover.发现,故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段The robots are opened by customers with a mobile phone code (这些机器人由顾客用手机代码打开),由此可知没有手机代码,顾客无法打开机器人,故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。第三段中This week, the company revealed plans to broaden it’s delivery service beyond food to include packages, a move that made it “the world’s first robot package delivery service”.是全文的主题句,结合全文内容,可知这篇文章主要讲了在美国的一些城市,包裹可以由机器人运送了,故选D。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ways to boost your chances of a good night’s rest
Experts have found more evidence of the harm caused by disturbing our body clocks, linking it to depression and mental disorder. It’s a warning to our body’s natural rhythms, which influence our sleep as well as a range of other processes in our body. Here are the things we can do for a good night’s sleep.
●Limit evening light. Are you inseparable from your mobile phone? Do you check your social media late into the night? ______36______ These devices produce powerful blue light that is particularly bad for our sleep. Having a cut-off time for stopping using these devices of an hour and a half before bed is ideal. We should also limit other forms of electric light after sunset.
●______37______ A glass or two of wine, or a sip or two of brandy, for many is a pre-bed routine. But despite what you might think, experts say that a glass of wine before bedtime actually doesn’t improve our sleep. Alcohol has a strange effect in that it makes it easier to fall asleep, but it makes it harder to stay asleep and it affects the quality of our sleep.
●Be consistent. It may be tempting to stay up late on Friday or Saturday._______38_______This helps to reduce social mismatch between when we sleep during the working week compared with the weekend. The bigger the social mismatch, the more harmful it is for health.
●Have a pre-bed routine. Having a pre-bed routine helps signal to our bodies that it’s time for sleep. Activities such as reading a book or having a bath can help to mentally relax and get us ready for bed. Parents do this with their child to get good sleep. They have a set routine where they feed, bath their children and put them into bed.____39____
●Make your bedroom a place of rest. Easily portable computers and phones have transformed our bedrooms from sanctuaries (保护区) of rest into places of entertainment. But if we want to boost our chances of a good night’s rest, we need to reclaim them for sleep._______40_______ Keeping your bedroom cool is also important because it’s easier for our bodies to sleep in colder temperatures.
A. Avoid a night wine.
B. Get a good night’s sleep.
C. If so, you’re likely to be disturbing your sleep.
D. There’s nothing around them and then they read them a story.
E. To do this we should keep phones and computers in other rooms.
F. Our body clocks are designed to follow the rise and fall of our sleep.
G. However, ideally we should go to bed at similar times throughout the week.

Do you check your social media late into the night?”,并且其中的disturbing your sleep与后文bad for our sleep相对应,符合题意。故选C项。
【37题详解】
根据设空位置可知,此处需要选本段的小标题,且参考其他小标题可知,设空处要填一个祈使句;后文“But despite what you might think, experts say that a glass of wine before bedtime actually doesn’t improve our sleep. Alcohol has a strange effect in that it makes it easier to fall asleep, but it makes it harder to stay asleep and it affects the quality of our sleep.”(但不管你怎么想,专家说睡前一杯葡萄酒实际上并不能改善我们的睡眠。酒精有一个奇怪的作用,它使人更容易入睡,但却使人更难保持睡眠状态,从而影响我们的睡眠质量)说明了睡前饮酒影响睡眠质量;A选项“不要在晚上喝酒”是一个祈使句且概括了后文内容,符合题意。故选A项。
【38题详解】
上文“It may be tempting to stay up late on Friday or Saturday.”(周五或周六很容易熬夜)说明了周五或周六很容易出现熬夜的情况;下文“This helps to reduce social mismatch between when we sleep during the working week compared with the weekend. ”(这有助于减少工作日睡眠与周末睡眠之间的社交失配)说明了有助于减少我们在工作日与周末睡眠之间的社交失配的一种方法;G选项“然而,理想情况下,我们应该在一周的相同时间上床睡觉”与上文形成转折关系,同时也符合后文this指代的内容,符合题意。故选G项。
【39题详解】
上文“Activities such as reading a book or having a bath can help to mentally relax and get us ready for bed. Parents do this with their child to get good sleep. They have a set routine where they feed, bath their children and put them into bed.”(像看书或者洗澡这样的活动可以帮助我们放松精神,让我们为睡觉做好准备。父母这么做是为了让孩子睡个好觉。他们有一套固定程序,喂孩子吃饭,给孩子洗澡,哄他们上床)说明了父母怎样做有助于让孩子睡个好觉;D选项“他们周围什么都没有,然后他们给他们读故事”中的read them a story与上文的reading a book对应,they指上文的parents,them指上文的children,说明了父母可以为孩子安排的睡前常规活动,符合题意。故选D项。
【40题详解】
上文“Easily portable computers and phones have transformed our bedrooms from sanctuaries (保护区) of rest into places of entertainment. But if we want to boost our chances of a good night’s rest, we need to reclaim them for sleep.”(便携式电脑和手机已经把我们的卧室从休息的庇护所变成了娱乐的场所。但是,如果我们想要提高我们晚上的良好睡眠的机会,我们需要纠正这一行为)说明了手机和电脑我们的卧室从休息场所变成了娱乐场所,并提出为了保证睡眠我们要纠正这一行为;E选项“为了做到这一点,我们应该把电话和电脑放在其他房间”承接上文说明了具体应该怎么做才能避免手机和电脑把卧室变成娱乐场所,其中的this指上文的“we need to reclaim them for sleep”,phones and computers也与上文portable computers and phones相对应,符合题意。故选E项。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
That summer I turned 18. I was wild with excitement because I just took my driving license and my parents bought me a new perfect car. I was reminded repeatedly by my parents to drive cautiously. Along with this new privilege (特权) came new responsibilities. I would practice the same routine — call my parents and tell them where I was going, whom I was with, and when I would be home. It became a typical cycle.
I had been working all day in the hot sun. I was exhausted and ready for a nap. But I was hungry. So I called my friend Mike and made our way into town. After our meal, we never knew our day would soon change for the worse.
It takes only a moment to turn your life upside down. I was driving fast. Actually too fast.
Mike and I were driving down a dust y gravel (沙砾) road. I was driving a shiny black Saturn, which was the car I had admired for long. I was filled with excitement and pride to be driving it. I could see the rolling hills in the distance. Tall pine (松树) trees traveled on both sides of the road. The music playing loudly, we both were in high spirits. Somehow, without realizing it, I sped up.
Enjoying ourselves in my car, we came across a loose spot of gravel. My car was stuck in it and desperate to escape. My car started fishtailing (摆尾行驶). Terrified, I tried to stop the car and all of a sudden the car lost control. I froze, my body was stiff, great panic holding me entirely in its power. Looking into the right, I took a glimpse of Mike, whose body had leaned towards me. His face went pale but he was trying to balance himself. The car was rushing left to right, coasting (惯性滑行) along the g ravel as if it were ice. It was only seconds later that my car crashed head-on into a big pine tree.
I heard a roaring sound of my car hitting the tree.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fortunately enough, Mike and I were not seriously injured.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】续写范文
I heard a roaring sound of my car hitting the tree. The white airbag hit Mike violently. His body flew back in the seat like a rag doll. My body was thrown forward, meeting the seat belt I was thankfully wearing. The window got broken, and the passenger door was completely destroyed. A mixture of fear, guilt and regret flooded over me. It was all my fault. I put both my life and Mike’s life in danger. If only I had driven slowly and carefully! If only I had not put my friend’s life at risk!
Fortunately enough, Mike and I were not seriously injured. Though shocked, those who witnessed the accident dashed to us, helped us out of the damaged car and rushed us to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. I felt relieved and grateful. Though we both recovered soon, I was in low spirits for a long time after the accident, from which I learned to cherish life. From then on, I drove carefully and cautiously and observed the traffic rules. After all, nothing is more precious than life.
