Students work and learn in middle school clubs and can compete at the local and state level.
Future Problem Solvers

Teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep per night. However, in adolescence (青春期) changes to the body’s sleep cycle make it difficult for teens to fall asleep early. Many cannot fall asleep until 10:30 p.m. or even later and most of them will feel sleepy if they have to get up too early.
Scientists recommend that both middle and high schools begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. Later school start times support the natural needs of teenagers and increase their sleeping time.
Here are some other benefits of later school start times:
More time for a healthy breakfast
When running late in the mornings, students are likely to go without breakfast. With an empty stomach, one finds it difficult to focus (集中) in class. When they are always in a hurry, students may form unhealthy eating habits.
With extra time before going to school, students can eat a well-balanced breakfast and focus more on learning.
Fewer behavioral (行为的) problems
Teens experience mood changes as a common result of this special period of life. Less sleep may cause worries, stress and unhappiness.
When they get enough sleep, students are calm and peaceful and their moods do not change suddenly. They’re less likely to feel worried, unhappy or get angry. For parents, children with more sleep are easier to live with.
Better performance (表现) in study
Sleep loss hurts attention, memory and brain development. Students with less sleep have difficulty paying attention in class and are likely to have lower grades. Students with enough sleep can be more energetic during the day and more willing to learn. They are also less likely to fall asleep in class and more able to understand what they learn.
In conclusion, starting school later helps students get a better night’s sleep. It improves their chances of eating, behaving and performing better.
4. According to the passage, what may cause teenagers to stay up?
A. Their low grades. B. Their empty stomachs.
C. Their body’s sleep cycle. D. Their heavy homework.
5. How can sleep loss influence students’ study?
A. It gives them much energy. B. It does harm to the brain.
C. It saves more time for study. D. It improves their memory.
6. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To explain reasons for students’ stress. B. To describe bad habits caused by sleep loss.
C. To discuss scientists’ research on healthy food. D. To introduce benefits of later school start times.
7. In which part of the website can you probably find this passage?
A. Education. B. Fashion. C. Sports. D. Technology.
C
I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved to the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, scared of looking at each other.
Soon, we lost the shyness and started playing with each other, riding bikes to each other’s house and having sleepovers. In 7th grade she was going through family problems. However, every summer we would sit at each other’s house, watch movies on TV and talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year that I noticed the problem. She suffered from clinical depression (临床抑郁症), and had to go to a hospital during the day. I was very sorry for her at first. But with the late night calls and meeting each other halfway up the street at midnight, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend left her, and I knew I still cared about her like a sister.
Yesterday she came to me and said, “I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me from cutting myself and that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems. You didn’t know this but I was trying to kill myself that very night you called me and I was crying. I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were helping me. ”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never give up your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need someone there. If you leave them, you will only be very sorry. So if your friends need you, and you care about them, you should be always there for them.
8. Why did the two girls hide behind their family members when they first met?
A. Because they were playing a game. B. Because they didn’t like each other.
C. Because they quarreled before. D. Because they were both shy.
9. What’s the problem of my best friend?
A. family problems B. having difficulty in studying
C. clinical depression D. bad relationship with classmates
10. What would have happened to her friend if the author had not cared about her?
A. She would have lost her new best friend.
B. She would have killed herself that night.
C. She would have run away from her family.
D. She would have stayed in hospital for a long time.
11. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. Always care about your friends. B. Don’t care about others’ opinions.
C. Never owe your friends too much. D. Try to be as cool as others.
D
While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.
The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed.
Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted or played games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.
Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of the study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”
12. Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities?
A. Seeing movies. B. Watching videos.
C. Texting friends. D. Surfing the internet.
13. Who might lose the most sleep according to the text?
A. Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed.
B. Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed.
C. Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day.
D. Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning.
14. What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Frightening. B. Awkward. C. Hopeless. D. Encouraging.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Screen time activities cut down our sleep hours
B. Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagers
C. Passive screen use is better than interactive screen use
D. Parents should prevent children from using social media

【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据Mathcounts Club部分中的“It hopes to provide students with the foundation for success in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. (它希望为学生提供在科学、技术、工程和数学事业上取得成功的基础。)”可知,该俱乐部希望为学生在科学、技术、工程和数学事业上取得成功打下基础,由此可知,有些学生选择Mathcounts Club是为了在科学事业上取得成功。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Mathcounts Club部分中的“Schools select individuals and teams to participate in competitions. (学校挑选个人和团队参加比赛。)”可知,学校要挑选个人和团队参加比赛;根据Envirothon部分中的“The eco logy field competition for five-member middle school teams offers competitions in wildlife, soils, forestry, current environmental issues and aquatics. (由五人组成的中学生态学竞赛包括野生动物、土壤、林业、当前环境问题和游泳。)”可知,该俱乐部中也涉及到参加竞赛;根据Future Problem Solvers部分中的“Teams that score high enough can go to the state competition and then to the international competition. (得分足够高的队伍可以参加州比赛,然后参加国际比赛。)”可知,在该俱乐部中得分高的团队参加州比赛,结合“Builders Club is open to any middle school student who wishes to perform community service. (Builders Club是开放给愿意执行社区服务的任何中学生。)”可知,该俱乐部向任何愿意执行社区服务的中学生开放,综合以上信息,只有Builders Club中未涉及到比赛的信息,所以如果对比赛不感兴趣的学生应该选择Builders Club。故选D项。
【3题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文内容以及第一段“At the middle school level, there are many academic clubs in which students can participate. Students can choose clubs that focus on an area of interest. (在中学阶段,有许多学生可以参加的学术俱乐部。学生可以选择专注于自己感兴趣领域的俱乐部。)”以及下文中的介绍的四个不同中学俱乐部的特点和适应对象可知,本文主要介绍了学校里四个不同的中学俱乐部的相关信息。故选B项。

I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved to the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, scared of looking at each other.
Soon, we lost the shyness and started playing with each other, riding bikes to each other’s house and having sleepovers. In 7th grade she was going through family problems. However, every summer we would sit at each other’s house, watch movies on TV and talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year that I noticed the problem. She suffered from clinical depression (临床抑郁症), and had to go to a hospital during the day. I was very sorry for her at first. But with the late night calls and meeting each other halfway up the street at midnight, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend left her, and I knew I still cared about her like a sister.
Yesterday she came to me and said, “I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me from cutting myself and that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems. You didn’t know this but I was trying to kill myself that very night you called me and I was crying. I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were helping me. ”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never give up your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need someone there. If you leave them, you will only be very sorry. So if your friends need you, and you care about them, you should be always there for them.
8. Why did the two girls hide behind their family members when they first met?
A. Because they were playing a game. B. Because they didn’t like each other.
C. Because they quarreled before. D. Because they were both shy.
9. What’s the problem of my best friend?
A. family problems B. having difficulty in studying
C. clinical depression D. bad relationship with classmates

While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.
The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed.
Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted or played games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.
Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of the study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”
12. Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities?
A. Seeing movies. B. Watching videos.
C. Texting friends. D. Surfing the internet.
13. Who might lose the most sleep according to the text?
A Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed.
B. Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed.
C. Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day.
D. Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning.
14. What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Frightening. B. Awkward. C. Hopeless. D. Encouraging.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Screen time activities cut down our sleep hours
B. Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagers
C. Passive screen use is better than interactive screen use
D. Parents should prevent children from using social media
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了与被动屏幕时间相比,互动性活动,如与朋友发短信或玩视频游戏,对睡眠的影响更大,尤其是对青少年而言。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.(虽然看屏幕的时间会影响睡眠,但新的研究表明,互动活动,如给朋友发短信或玩电子游戏,比看电视等被动屏幕时间更能推迟和减少睡眠时间,尤其是对青少年来说)”可知,给朋友发短信属于交互式屏幕活动。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Those who talked, texted or played games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.(那些在睡前一小时聊天、发短信或玩游戏的人失眠最严重:大约30分钟后才入睡)”可知,杰克在睡觉前和他哥哥视频聊了30分钟可能会失去最多的睡眠。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”可知,这些屏幕工具现在对每个人都非常重要,所以很难限制它们,但如果你真的关心青少年的健康和幸福,你可能会考虑限制更多的互动活动,尤其是在睡觉前的一个小时。结合上文提到睡前看手机会导致失眠,可知这是一个难处理的情况。故划线词意思是“难处理的”。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.(虽然看屏幕的时间会影响睡眠,但新的研究表明,互动活动,如给朋友发短信或玩电子游戏,比看电视等被动屏幕时间更能推迟和减少睡眠时间,尤其是对青少年来说)”结合文章主要说明了与被动屏幕时间相比,互动性活动,如与朋友发短信或玩视频游戏,对睡眠的影响更大,尤其是对青少年而言。可知,B选项“互动屏幕的使用减少了青少年的睡眠时间”最符合文章标题。故选B。
