Do you wish you could get up later every morning？You are not alone if your answer is “Yes.” In the US, many middle school students have the same wish. In America, many schools start before 7：30 a．m. But that may change soon. A new law has been passed in California. According to the law, middle schools should not start before 8：00 a．m. The government hopes school children will have longer time in bed. Many scientific studies show that teenagers are more active in the afternoon and in the evening. Simply telling them to go to bed earlier doesn't work well.Most of them don't get enough sleep because of bad sleeping habits and early school starting time. They need more sleep in the morning. Scientists suggest middle schools should start at 8：00 a．m. or later. Students can get well ready to learn and they won't fall asleep in class.__▲__ The change can help improve students' grades. While scientists are happy with the new law, many parents disagree with it. They won't be able to send their children to school before they go to work. They also fear that later school starting time will lead to later ending time. As a result, their children will have less time to take part in after­school activities. It's good news that Chinese education experts have noticed the problem and made some rules about that. So what's your opinion? (　)21.The schools shouldn't start ________ according to the new law in California. A.before 7：30 a．m. B．after 7：30 a．m. C．after 8：00 a．m. D．before 8：00 a．m. (　)22.Why don't most of the teenagers get enough sleep? A．Because their parents need them to do housework. B.Because their sleeping habits are bad and schools start early. C．Because they play computer games till late. D.Because they have many activities to take part in. (　)23.Which sentence do you think can be filled in “__▲__” in Paragraph 3? A.They can put on weight. B.They will like their teachers. C.They will join more clubs. D.They will pay more attention to class. (　)24.What can we know from the passage? A．The government of New York has passed a new law. B．All the parents disagree with the law. C．Later school starting time may lead to fewer after­school activities. D．Teenagers are more active in the morning. (　)25.From the passage, we can infer that ________. A.students should have enough sleeping time in the writer's opinion B．students in California will have less sleeping time C.Most scientists aren't worried about students' sleeping time D．Students in the US will become more tired at school 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了加利福尼亚州出台的一项法规，此项法规规定中学的上课时间不得早于八点，并分析了出台此项法规的原因。 21．D　细节理解题。根据第二段“A new law has been passed in California.According to the law, middle schools should not start before 8：00 a．m.”可知，加利福尼亚州通过了一项新法规，根据这项法规，中学不应该在早上8点前开始上课。 22．B　细节理解题。根据第三段“Most of them don't get enough sleep because of bad sleeping habits and early school starting time.”可知，他们中的大多数人睡眠不足，是因为睡眠习惯不好和上学时间早。 23．D　推理判断题。根据前文“Scientists suggest middle schools should start at 8：00 a．m. or later.Students can get well ready to learn and they won't fall asleep in class.”可知，此处应是学生上课不会睡着才能上课注意力更集中，进而提高学习成绩。 24．C　推理判断题。根据第四段“They also fear that later school starting time will lead to later ending time.As a result, their children will have less time to take part in after­school activities.”可知，上课时间的推迟会导致下课时间的推迟。因此，学生将有更少的时间参加课外活动。 25．A　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“It's good news that Chinese education experts have noticed the problem and made some rules about that.”可知，作者赞成“学生需要足够的睡眠”这个观点。 四、用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空。(每小题2分，满分10分) 26．The teacher asked who was absent from the last math class. 27．You should look through the introduction about the book before you decide to buy it. 28．Our country is becoming stronger and stronger and I'm proud of her. 29．Hey!
