The army officer,who once had dreams of being a tennis champion,started from a camp by Union Glacier where even summer temperatures can fall to minus 50C.She pulled her equipment on a joumey that she thought would take 45 days at least.

C Trying to imagine white sheep,jumping one by one over a fence,is a well-known solution for sleeplessness.I don't have the problem often,but I've often wondered just who came up with such a silly suggestion.If the idea is to bore yourself to sleep,why not count backward?And who decided on sheep?Why not rabbits,horses or kangaroos? History supposedly provides the answer:It was said to be a way for ancient shepherds(牧羊人)， short of human company for weeks at a time,to fall asleep each night-they counted their sheep until sleepy.Whether that's true or not,I don't know. So does counting sheep really help you fall asleep?A 2002 study on fighting sleeplessness put the way to the test.In fact,that wasn't the point of the research."Our study more than 20 years ago wasn't about counting sheep;it was just about using imagery()to fight sleeplessness,"said Harvey,who conducted the research. Harvey's research divided 50 people into three groups.The first had no instructions on how to fall asleep,while members of the second were told to distract from thoughts,worries and concems in any way they wanted.The third group was instructed to perform an interesting imagery task,such as creating or remembering a waterfall,a holiday or a summer afternoon in the sun.Those who used imagery reported falling asleep much faster than either of the two other groups,and they rated their thoughts,worries and concems to be less uncomfortable than people in the distraction or no instruction group. 高一英语试卷第3页（共8页） C扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描ApD While she didn't nctually study counting sheep as a way of treating sleeplessness,Harvey does have an opinion based on her years as n sleep expert."Counting sheep usually does not do the trick," she said."Instead,we work out a menu of options with people,because everyone is different and not one option is going to help every single time."Over two decades later,Harvey still emphasizes that using one's imagination is a top tip. 28.Why did the author mention other animals in paragraph 1? A.To stress the equality of all animals. B.To show his doubt about the solution. C.To prove the effect of counting sheep. D.To confirm his assumption about sleep 29.What's the focus of the study in 2002? A.Sleeping habits. B.Testing methods. C.Counting sheep. D.Using imagination. 30.What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A.Imagining scenes may aid in sleep B.Counting sheep cures sleeplessness. C.Falling asleep faster removes worries D.Rating thoughts can be uncomfortable. 31.Which of the following would Harvey most probably agree with? A.Offering a nutritious menu for sleepless people B.Regarding all traditional methods as ineffective. C.Suggesting a customized plan for each individual. D.Supporting the use of imagination as the only way. D Britain is indeed a nation featured by odd traditions.As the late Bank Holiday Monday is around the comer,so too comes a series of slightly eccentric traditions,including the yearly cheese-rolling competition in Gloucestershire. Each year,on the late Bank Holiday Monday,hundreds of people gather at Gloucestershire to attend the yearly Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling event,which is likely the most British thing in existence.The tradition dates back to the 1880s,though some have suggested it could be even older- as much as 600 years.However,the race winners have only been recorded since 1985 Competitors gather at the top of the almost vertical (Cooper's Hill in the village of Brockworth,with a nine-pound wheel of Double Gloucester cheese sent rolling down the hill,often reaching speeds of over 70 miles per hour.Competitors race down the 200-yard height of the hill and the first one to make it to the bottom wins the cheese.What a prize! 高一英语试卷第4页（共8页） CS扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描Ap The competition comes with its risks though.Many competitors fall and roll down the hill as they try to beat the others in this event.In 1997,33 people needed medieal treatment.In 2013,the cheese was replaced with a soft object as n safety protection.Last year,at least one person was carried away on a stretcher ()and with no official organizers,the event takes place without the support of the emergency services or local officials.As such,volunteers from the local football club help catch falling competitors and see to any of the injured athletes. Despite its risks and lack of official support,the tradition is greatly supported by its competitors and the local community.As we are amazed by this unique show of British tradition,we are reminded of the lasting attraction of oddness in British culture. 32.What does the underlined word"eccentric"in paragraph I mean? A.Joyful. B.Strange. C.Romantic. D.Dangerous. 33.What is the prize for the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling competition? A.A wheel. B.Nine pounds.C.Acheese.
