Sleep-deprived students may not pay attention in class. That’s why some students can’t get good grades even though they study hard. In order to see if students have enough and high-quality sleep, we design the following questionnaire. Here is one that Peter in Grade 8 finished. Yes No Not Sure 1. Your skin doesn’t look good. √ 2. You’re always hungry or you’ve got weight. √ 3. You have trouble remembering things. √ 4. You are having trouble seeing clearly. √ 5. You have trouble paying attention in class. √ 6. You feel very emotional (感情冲动的). √ 7. You sleep less than 8 hours every day. √ Yes-1 point No-3 points Not Sure-2 points 18-21 points You have enough and high-quality sleep. Keep the good sleeping habits. 12-17 points You don’t have enough sleep. But you can improve it easily. Having a glass of milk before going to bed may help you sleep better. Make sure you sleep at least 9 hours every day. 7-11 points You are sleep-deprived. Go to bed early and don’t use the mobile phone or play computer games before going to bed. A cool room is also a better place for sleeping. 16. Who is the questionnaire for? A. Factory workers. B. Young mothers. C. New-born babies. D. Middle School students. 17. What can we know about Peter? A. He is good at remembering things. B. He sleeps for nine hours every day. C. He often forgets things and may get angry easily. D. He always listens to the teacher carefully in class. 18. What should Peter do to improve his sleep? A. Make the bedroom warm enough during the sleeping time. B. Go to bed early and have a glass of water before going to bed. C. Eat healthily and check the eyes in the hospital when necessary. D. Go to bed early and stop using his mobile phone before going to bed. B Do you like this vegetable? One in six people says it tastes like soap (肥皂). The vegetable is called coriander. Some people love its fresh taste while others don’t. Now, researchers are beginning to know a genetic (基因的) variant (变异) leads to different opinions on its flavor (味道). “The coriander tastes soapy.” Many people think so. About 21% of East Asians, 17% of people of Europe and 14% of people of Africa say they dislike the vegetable, according to a paper in the journal Flavor. However, only 3-7% of South Asians and Latin Americans dislike coriander, which is more common in their dishes. Dislike of coriander is genetic. Surveys of hundreds of twins show that coriander love is caused by genes (基因). Charles Wysocki, a scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania found that the twins would have the same reaction. That is to say, if one of them dislikes the coriander, so does the other, because of their same genes. “The study shows us that genes make you become a hater or a lover,” says Dr. Wysocki. Another survey of nearly 30,000 people shows that two genetic variants make people connect the taste of coriander with “soap” taste. One of those genes is named OR6A2. Dr. Wysocki and his team also found an association (联系) between coriander taste and several other genes, including a bitter-taste gene. He says that the differences between the variants could be a reason why people have different opinions on the flavor of coriander. However, there may be a way to make the coriander-haters willing to eat coriander. The science writer Harold McGee suggested a solution in New York Times in 2010. A study suggests that cutting coriander into pieces can reduce (减少) the molecules (分子) which make coriander-haters dislike coriander. 19. Who dislike coriander most? A. Africans. B. East Asians. C. South Asians. D. Europeans. 20. What does the underlined word “reaction” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Opinions on its flavor. B. Ways to taste coriander. C. Time to cook coriander. D. Advice for coriander lovers. 21. Which is Harold McGee’s opinion according to the passage? A. Genes make people love or dislike coriander. B. Twins have the same reaction to the coriander. C. There is a way to make coriander haters eat coriander. D. OR6A2 is one of the genes that is connected with the taste. 22. Why does the writer write the passage? A To ask more people to try to eat coriander. B. To tell us information about genetic variants. C. To show why people like or dislike coriander. D. To tell us something about the flavor of coriander. C “I wish I didn’t have to wash these windows.” As she put her towel into the water again, Maddie noticed Mr. Vadder standing in his front yard next door. “Mr. Vadder,” Maddie called, “How are you?” “Well, Maddie, I’d be much better if I didn’t have to rake (耙) these leaves.” Mr. Vadder said. “I’ll rake them for you,” Maddie volunteered. “I like to rake leaves. I’ll finish washing my windows later.” “Thank you,” Mr. Vadder said, “I think I’ll go to see Mrs. Clover. It’s been a while since we visited.” Maddie raked happily and suddenly she noticed Tom, the boy who lived across the street, washing her windows! Maddie ran across the yard. “Tom, why are you cleaning my windows?” Maddie asked. “I can explain, Maddie,” Mr. Vadder called as he crossed the yard with Mrs. Clover. “When I stopped to visit Mrs. Clover, she was starting to peel (剥皮) some potatoes. She told me how much she disliked that chore (家务活), so I volunteered to do it. That’s my favourite. And I told her, Maddie was raking leaves for me.” “But...,” said Maddie, still thinking about how peeling potatoes could have turned into washing windows. “So I decided to go next door to borrow jam for my potato salad, and Tom answered the door.” said Mrs. Clover. “I was just about to vacuum (用吸尘器清扫),” Tom added. “Mrs. Clover said she could tell by the look on my face that I don’t like that job, so she offered to vacuum for me.” “I enjoy the sound of the cleaner as it works,” Mrs. Clover said. “But ...,” Maddie tried again. “I asked her what I could do for her,” Tom said. “and Mrs. Clover remembered Mr. Vadder had said that your windows weren’t getting washed because you were raking his leaves.” “And you...” Maddie began. “Love to wash windows,” Tom said. “I like to see the clean glass shine in the sun.” Maddie laughed. “Thank you for doing my windows, Tom. And raking is the chore in this chain (链条) I like best!” What a neighbourhood chore chain! Everyone gets a favourite and returns a kind act. 23. Who helped wash the windows at last? A. Tom. B. Maddie. C. Mr. Vadder. D. Mrs. Clover. 24. How did Tom feel when he was about to vacuum? A. Quiet. B. Excited. C. Nervous. D. Unhappy. 25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the story? A.

The vegetable is called coriander. Some people love its fresh taste while others don’t. Now, researchers are beginning to know a genetic (基因的) variant (变异) leads to different opinions on its flavor (味道). “The coriander tastes soapy.” Many people think so. About 21% of East Asians, 17% of people of Europe and 14% of people of Africa say they dislike the vegetable, according to a paper in the journal Flavor. However, only 3-7% of South Asians and Latin Americans dislike coriander, which is more common in their dishes. Dislike of coriander is genetic. Surveys of hundreds of twins show that coriander love is caused by genes (基因). Charles Wysocki, a scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania found that the twins would have the same reaction. That is to say, if one of them dislikes the coriander, so does the other, because of their same genes. “The study shows us that genes make you become a hater or a lover,” says Dr. Wysocki. Another survey of nearly 30,000 people shows that two genetic variants make people connect the taste of coriander with “soap” taste. One of those genes is named OR6A2. Dr. Wysocki and his team also found an association (联系) between coriander taste and several other genes, including a bitter-taste gene. He says that the differences between the variants could be a reason why people have different opinions on the flavor of coriander. However, there may be a way to make the coriander-haters willing to eat coriander. The science writer Harold McGee suggested a solution in New York Times in 2010. A study suggests that cutting coriander into pieces can reduce (减少) the molecules (分子) which make coriander-haters dislike coriander. 19. Who dislike coriander most? A. Africans. B. East Asians. C. South Asians. D. Europeans. 20. What does the underlined word “reaction” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Opinions on its flavor. B. Ways to taste coriander. C. Time to cook coriander. D. Advice for coriander lovers. 21. Which is Harold McGee’s opinion according to the passage? A. Genes make people love or dislike coriander. B. Twins have the same reaction to the coriander. C. There is a way to make coriander haters eat coriander. D. OR6A2 is one of the genes that is connected with the taste. 22. Why does the writer write the passage? A. To ask more people to try to eat coriander. B. To tell us information about genetic variants. C To show why people like or dislike coriander. D. To tell us something about the flavor of coriander. 【答案】19. B 20. A 21. C 22. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述了基因、地域和个人口味等因素如何影响人们对香菜味道的感受。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“About 21% of East Asians,17% of people of Europe and 14% of people of Africa say they dislike the vegetable, according to a paper in the journal Flavor.

I’ll finish washing my windows later.” “Thank you,” Mr. Vadder said, “I think I’ll go to see Mrs. Clover. It’s been a while since we visited.” Maddie raked happily and suddenly she noticed Tom, the boy who lived across the street, washing her windows! Maddie ran across the yard. “Tom, why are you cleaning my windows?” Maddie asked. “I can explain, Maddie,” Mr. Vadder called as he crossed the yard with Mrs. Clover. “When I stopped to visit Mrs. Clover, she was starting to peel (剥皮) some potatoes. She told me how much she disliked that chore (家务活), so I volunteered to do it. That’s my favourite. And I told her, Maddie was raking leaves for me.” “But...,” said Maddie, still thinking about how peeling potatoes could have turned into washing windows. “So I decided to go next door to borrow jam for my potato salad and Tom answered the door.” said Mrs. Clover. “I was just about to vacuum (用吸尘器清扫),” Tom added. “Mrs. Clover said she could tell by the look on my face that I don’t like that job, so she offered to vacuum for me.” “I enjoy the sound of the cleaner as it works,” Mrs. Clover said. “But ...,” Maddie tried again. “I asked her what I could do for her,” Tom said. “and Mrs. Clover remembered Mr. Vadder had said that your windows weren’t getting washed because you were raking his leaves.” “And you...” Maddie began. “Love to wash windows,” Tom said. “I like to see the clean glass shine in the sun.” Maddie laughed. “Thank you for doing my windows, Tom.
