It has a long history among almost all different groups of people but especially for children. In 1926, a top was found in Shanxi province, which shows the game is over 4,000 years old. Even now, the game is still popular. This old game stays with us, bringing simple joys and passing on the tradition. Spinning tops come in different forms for play and competition. The whip is very important—it gets the top to spin. Tops are made from different materials. Stone tops are heavy. Woolen ones feel smooth, while bamboo ones are light. Children love smaller, colourful tops. They are easy for little hands to hold. However, those used in competitions are quite different. The top for the competition usually weighs around 0.45 kilogram and the whip is at least 2 meters long. As yon can guess, mastering their operation (操作) is no walk in the park. Top spinning was once a worldwide popular street game for children. Here is how you play: You wind (缠绕) the rope of the whip around the top that is put on the smooth ground, or even ice. The whip is pulled back causing ▲ . With the help of the whip, the top is kept spinning faster and faster. In China, this simple game has turned into a competition. Competition rules are different in many ways. In one, often called a “battling tops (斗陀螺)”, two players make their tops crash into each other. The purpose is to make the other person’s top fall. The one that keeps spinning wins. Another is to get the top to spin over obstacles (障碍物). It takes a lot of skills and patience. And again, the winner is the player whose top spins the longest. 31. What can we know from the finding of a top in 1926? A. People didn’t play with a top until 1926. B. The top game started more than 4,000 years ago. C. The top found in 1926 was the first one in history. D. The game became popular after the finding in 1926. 32. What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence “Mastering their operation is no walk in the park.” in paragraph 2? A. Mastering their operation needs much hard work. B. Mastering their operation only needs a short time. C. Operating them is as relaxing as walking in the park. D. One can learn to operate them while walking in the park. 33. Which of the following can be put into ▲ in Paragraph 3? A. the top to spin B. the player to stop C. the top to fall D. the player to start 34. In the “battling tops” competition, what decides the winner? A. The colour of the top. B. The weight of the top. C. The spinning time of the top. D. The type of the whip. 35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The skills at spinning two kinds of tops. B. The rules of the two kinds of top competitions. C. The players of the two kinds of top competitions. D. The difference between children’s games and competitions. 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了陀螺游戏的相关内容。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 1926, a top was found in Shanxi province, which shows the game is over 4,000 years old.”可知，陀螺游戏始于4000多年前。故选B。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The top for the competition usually weighs around 0.45 kilogram and the whip is at least 2 meters long.”和“mastering their operation (操作) is no walk in the park”可知，比赛的陀螺通常重约0.45公斤，鞭子至少有2米长，这意味着掌握陀螺的操作并非容易的事情，即：需要付出很多努力。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“You wind (缠绕) the rope of the whip around the top that is put on the smooth ground, or even ice. The whip is pulled back causing...”可知，将鞭子的绳子缠绕在放在光滑地面甚至冰面上的陀螺上，然后将鞭子往后拉，这样可以使陀螺旋转起来。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The one that keeps spinning wins.”和“And again, the winner is the player whose top spins the longest.”可知，使陀螺旋转时间最长的玩家为获胜者，即：陀螺的旋转时间决定了获胜者。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Competition rules are different in many ways. In one...Another...”并通读本段可知，本段主要介绍了两种陀螺比赛的规则。故选B。 C Chile’s Fiestas Patrias ①Many countries have special days to celebrate independence (独立).

If so, you would be called an “early bird”. Do you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until afternoon? If so, you’re probably a “night owl (猫头鹰)”. Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way? And is one better than the other? There are different ideas. ① most people believe that early risers are hard-working. They start their day earlier, finish their work on time and be more successful. On the other hand, those who like to get up late are thought to be lazy. People believe they miss out the best time of the day and waste morning hours sleeping. But is it really true that only early risers can be successful? Maybe not. Some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus (集中) longer and produce more than early risers. ② Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgium study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines (常规). After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert (思维敏捷的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. ③ Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase from their brains. This adder energy allows them to stay awake longer. Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an influence (影响) on sleeping habits, yet genetics (遗传学) may play the biggest role. ④ It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if you’re happy rising early or staying up late, you’re probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock. 41. Why does the writer ask questions in the first paragraph? A. To ask readers to answer them. B. To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To check readers’ knowledge on sleep. D. To show the importance of getting up early. 42. Where can we put the sentence “Just as the saying goes, ‘the early bird catches the worm.’”? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 43. Which of the following may have the biggest influence on Simon’s sleeping habits? A. He lives near a busy street. B. His parents are early risers. C. His bedroom is painted blue. D. He often exercises before bedtime. 44. What opinion does the writer finally agree to? A. People should get up early. B. What fits you most is the best. C. Staying up late is good for health. D. It’s impossible to change one’s sleeping habit. 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Secret of Your Body B. How to Change Sleeping Habits C. Why We Are “Early Birds” or “Night Owls” D. “Early Birds” or “Night Owls”: Which Is Better? 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. B 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了“早鸟型”和“夜猫子型”两种作息类型的特点、成因及优劣比较，指出遗传因素对作息习惯的重要影响，并强调适合个体的作息模式才是最佳选择。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段两个设问句后立即引出“early bird”和“night owl”的概念可知，作者通过提问引入文章主题。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。谚语“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”与文中①处“most people believe that early risers are hard-working.”的观点直接呼应，共同支持传统观念。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“genetics may play the biggest role”可知遗传因素影响最大，B项“父母是早起者”属于遗传范畴。故选B。 【44题详解】 观点判断题。根据末段“you’re probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock”可知作者最终认同适合个体的作息模式最佳。故选B。 【45题详解】 标题选择题。全文通过对比分析两种作息类型的优劣，最终落脚于“哪种更好”的探讨，D项最全面概括文章主旨。故选D。 第二部分 非选择题（65分） 五、任务型阅读 （本题共10小题；每题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。（注意：每个空格只填一个单词） Cleaning a house seems like a job that never ends. Have you ever stood in the middle of an untidy house, looking at the books and magazines around? You have the thought of tidying them up, but you give up before you start. Well, you are not alone. But luckily, I have found some nice ways to make myself willing to do the housework. Have less stuff (物品) Reducing (减少) the number of the things is a good way to make house cleaning easier. Every few months, I throw away some things we don’t need or use. It could be old clothes that no longer fit or books that I have already read and won’t pick up again. Fewer things make the house tidier and easier to clean. Do a bit each day Cleaning the whole house without a break can be really difficult, so I do a little each day. Monday could be the day to sweep the floors, Tuesday to make the bed, Wednesday to clean the bathroom, and so on. When the weekend comes, I can enjoy my free time watching a film or read a good book instead of spending hours cleaning. Start with the easiest task When there’s a long list of housework, it can be hard to know where to begin. If so, I will start with the easiest task. When I complete the easiest task successfully, it will give me a sense of achievement and make it more possible for me to go on with the rest of the housework. Make housework interesting Who says housework has to be boring? I’ve found that adding a little fun can make a huge difference. I love listening to music while cleaning. As the music plays, I find myself dancing around. Time flies by and before I know it, the house is clean. I feel excited at the same time. It’s a win-win situation. In short, housework doesn’t have to be something you hate. By using these ways, you can make it easier, or more enjoyable. You might even surprisingly find that you don’t mind cleaning at all.

Instead 52. manage 53. continue 54. listening 55. surprised 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了让家务劳动变得更轻松愉快的方法。 【46题详解】 根据“you are not alone”可知，你不是唯一想放弃的人。故填only。 【47题详解】 根据“Have less stuff...Start with the easiest task”可知，该部分主要介绍愿意做家务的方法。故填Ways。 【48题详解】 根据“Fewer things make the house tidier and easier to clean”可知，家中物品越少意味着需要清洁的越少。故填fewer。 【49题详解】 根据“throw away some things we don’t need or use”可知，定期扔掉不需要的物品。故填useless。 【50题详解】 根据“Do a bit each day”可知，每天做一点。故填daily。 【51题详解】 根据“instead of spending hours cleaning”可知，周末可以做放松事代替做家务。故填Instead。 【52题详解】 根据“When I complete the easiest task successfully”可知，指成功完成最简单的任务，对应动词manage“设法做到”。故填manage。 【53题详解】 根据“make it more possible for me to go on with the rest”可知，会愿意继续做其他家务。故填continue。 【54题详解】 根据“I love listening to music while cleaning”可知，清洁时听音乐能带来乐趣。故填listening。 【55题详解】 根据“you might even surprisingly find”可知，可能会惊喜地发现不再讨厌清洁。故填surprised。 六、短文填空 （本题共10小题；每题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个恰当的单词或者括号内单词的正确形式。（每空不限填一词） I have never been a fan of vegetables. But my best friend loves them. “Eat your greens!” he always says. So I decide to learn something more about them. Plants play an important part in our diet. Because of the colour of their ____56____ (leaf), vegetables are often called “greens”. They provide all kinds of nutrition (营养) ____57____ our bodies. For example, vitamin C gives us healthy skin, and calcium (钙) ____58____ (sure) keeps our bones strong. Others help make our hearts, blood and muscles healthy. We can avoid ____59____ (get) fat if we often eat vegetables because they are low in calories. It’s said that there are over 80,000 different kinds of plants which can be eaten on the Earth. However, 90 percent of the foods we eat ____60____ (come) from just 30 plants. This is not because they are the best for health, ____61____ because they are the easiest to grow. It is suggested to eat at ____62____ (little) five different vegetables every day. We should also make ____63____ a good habit to keep vegetables a main part of each meal. However, some people think that vegetables don’t taste as ____64____ (good) as meat, so they choose meat instead of vegetables. Others think vegetables are cooked in an unskillful way, making them not delicious. My friend gives me good advice on how to cook tasty vegetables ____65____ (help) me have a healthy diet. I am on my way to a healthier lifestyle. 【答案】56. leaves 57. for 58. surely 59. getting 60. come 61. but 62. least 63. it 64. good 65. to help 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了蔬菜在我们饮食中的重要作用，还提及可食用植物的种类、建议的每日摄入量以及人们对蔬菜味道的不同看法。 【56题详解】 句意：由于它们叶子的颜色，蔬菜通常被称为“绿色蔬菜”。根据“their...(leaf)”可知，“their”后接可数名词复数，“leaf”的复数形式是“leaves”。故填leaves。 【57题详解】 句意：它们为我们的身体提供各种各样的营养。根据“provide all kinds of nutrition...our bodies”可知，“provide sth. for sb./sth.”意为“为……提供某物”。故填for。 【58题详解】 句意：例如，维生素C给我们健康的皮肤，钙当然能保持我们的骨骼强壮。根据“calcium...keeps our bones strong”可知，此处需用副词修饰动词“keeps”，“sure”的副词形式是“surely”，意为“当然”。故填surely。 【59题详解】 句意：如果我们经常吃蔬菜，我们可以避免发胖，因为它们热量低。根据“avoid...(get) fat”可知，“avoid doing sth.”是固定短语，意为“避免做某事”，“get”的动名词形式是“getting”。故填getting。 【60题详解】 句意：然而，我们所吃的食物中有90%仅来自30种植物。根据“90 percent of the foods we eat...(come) from just 30 plants”可知，句子描述一般情况，用一般现在时，“90 percent of the foods”作主语，谓语动词用原形“come”。故填come。 【61题详解】 句意：这不是因为它们对健康最有益，而是因为它们最容易种植。根据“This is not because...because”可知，“but”用于“not...but...”结构中，意为“不是……而是……”。故填but。 【62题详解】 句意：建议每天至少吃五种不同的蔬菜。根据“at...(little) five different vegetables”可知，“at least”短语意为“至少”。故填least。 【63题详解】 句意：我们还应该养成让蔬菜成为每餐主要部分的好习惯。根据“make...a good habit”可知，“it”作形式宾语，真正的宾语是“to keep vegetables a main part of each meal”。故填it。 【64题详解】 句意：然而，有些人认为蔬菜的味道不如肉好，所以他们选择肉而不是蔬菜。根据“taste as...(good) as meat”可知，“as...as”中间用形容词原级，“good”符合语境。故填good。 【65题详解】 句意：我的朋友给了我如何烹饪美味蔬菜的好建议，以帮助我拥有健康的饮食。根据“how to cook tasty vegetables...(help) me”可知，此处用动词不定式“to help”作目的状语，表示烹饪美味蔬菜的目的。故填to help。 七、词汇运用 用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。（每空不限填一词）（本题共10空；每空0.5分，满分5分） 66. In ________ (north) areas, people often wear thick coats in winter to keep out the cold wind. 【答案】northern 【解析】 【详解】句意：在北方地区，人们冬天经常穿厚外套来抵御寒风。根据“in ... areas”可知，此处需要一个形容词来修饰名词“areas”，表示“北方的”地区。northern“北方的”，形容词。故填northern。 67. She is thinking about when ________ (plant) these flowers. Spring seems like a good time. 【答案】to plant 【解析】 【详解】句意：她正在考虑什么时候种这些花。春天似乎是个好时机。根据“when...these flowers”可知，此处是“疑问词+不定式”结构作宾语，所以空处应用动词plant“种植”的不定式形式to plant。故填to plant。 68. —What do you think of A Dream of Red Mansions, the great classical Chinese novel? —I’ve no idea. I ________ (read) only half of it , and I will try to finish it by the weekend. 【答案】have read 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你如何看待伟大的中国古典小说《红楼梦》？——我不知道。我只读了一半，我会争取在周末之前读完它。根据“I’ve no idea. I...only half of it, and I will try to finish it by the weekend”可知，此处表示过去的动作对现在的影响，应用现在完成时，其构成为主语+have/has done，主语为I，助动词用have，read“读”，动词，其过去分词为read。故填have read。 69. The purpose of the meeting is ________ (discuss) problems, share ideas and plan next steps. 【答案】to discuss 【解析】 【详解】句意：会议的目的是讨论问题、交流想法和计划下一步措施。根据“The purpose of the meeting is...problems, share ideas and plan next steps.”可知，表示“目的”时，常用“the purpose is to do something”，discuss需变为不定式形式to discuss，作表语，与share ideas和plan next steps并列。故填to discuss。 70. I ________ (stay) in Nanjing for many years. However, I don’t think moving back to my hometown last year was a bad decision. 【答案】stayed 【解析】 【详解】句意：我在南京住了很多年。不过，我认为去年搬回我的家乡并不是一个糟糕的决定。空格处需填动词作谓语，根据后句中“last year”提示搬回故乡是过去的动作，而“在南京住了很多年”是发生在“搬回故乡”之前的过去经历，属于过去的状态，因此用一般过去时。“stay”的过去式是“stayed”，故填stayed。 71. This sweater is ________ (ugly) than I expected. The design and colours are really a disaster. 【答案】uglier 【解析】 【详解】句意：这件毛衣比我想象的还要丑。设计和颜色真是一场灾难。根据“than”可知，横线处需填形容词的比较级，ugly“丑陋的”，形容词，其比较级形式为uglier。故填uglier。 72. My job is not about making money. The ________ (please) of helping others is what really drives me. 【答案】pleasure 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的工作不是为了赚钱。帮助他人的乐趣才是真正激励我的东西。由“The”可知，空格处需填名词，所给单词“please”是动词“使高兴”，其对应的名词是“pleasure”意为“乐趣；愉快”。故填pleasure。 73. —Why are they worried about the hiking trip? —Because they are ________ (certain) about the weather on the mountain. 【答案】uncertain 【解析】 【详解】句意：——他们为什么担心这次徒步旅行？——因为他们对山上的天气不确定。根据“Why are they worried about the hiking trip?”可知，他们对山上的天气情况是感到不确定、担忧的。certain“确定的”，反义词uncertain表示“不确定的”。故填uncertain。 74. — Do you often have a heart-to-heart talk with your son? — Of course. Parents should ________ (close) communicate with children to better understand them. 【答案】closely 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你经常和你儿子推心置腹地交谈吗？——当然。父母应该与孩子密切沟通，以便更好地理解他们。空格处需填副词，修饰动词“communicate”，所给单词“close”作形容词时意为“亲密的；密切的”，其对应的副词形式是“closely”意为“密切地；紧密地”，故填closely。 75. The design of their new teaching building is more modern than that of ________ (we). 【答案】ours 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们新教学楼的设计比我们的（教学楼的设计）更现代化。根据“that of...”可知，此处指代前文提到的“the design of...new teaching building”，为了避免重复，此处需要用名词性物主代词指代。“we”是人称代词主格，其名词性物主代词是“ours”，相当于“our + 名词”。故填ours。 八、同义句转换（每空一词）（本题共10空；每空0.5分，满分5分） 76. It’s bad manners to talk loudly in the library. It’s ________ to talk in a ________ ________ in the library. 【答案】 ①. impolite ②. loud ③. voice 【解析】 【详解】句意：在图书馆大声说话是不礼貌的行为。根据“It’s bad manners to talk loudly in the library.”可知，原句表达在图书馆大声喧哗是不礼貌的，故第一空填impolite表示“不礼貌的”；第二三空应填loud voice表示“大声”。故填impolite；loud；voice。 77. He borrowed the book four days ago. He ________ ________ the book for four days. 【答案】 ①. has ②. kept 【解析】 【详解】句意：他四天前借了这本书。原句是一般过去时，“borrowed”是短暂性动词，不能与表示一段时间的“for four days”连用。此处需要将短暂性动词“borrow”转换为延续性动词“keep”，且句子时态要改为现在完成时，have/has+过去分词，表示动作从过去持续到现在。主语“He”是第三人称单数，助动词用“has”，“keep”的过去分词是“kept”。故填has；kept。 78. He trained hard and finally won the first prize in the Olympics. Through hard ________, he won a ________ in the Olympics in the end. 【答案】 ①. training ②. first prize 【解析】 【详解】句意：他刻苦训练，最终在奥运会上获得了一等奖。“Through hard”后需填名词，与“trained hard”同义，可填入名词“training训练”；“won a”后需填可数名词单数，填入“first prize”。故填training；first prize。 79. He tied the horse to the tree so that it couldn’t run away. He ________ the horse running away by ________ the horse to the tree. 【答案】 ①. prevented ②. tying 【解析】 【详解】句意：他把马拴在树上，以防它跑掉。根据“He tied the horse to the tree so that it couldn’t run away.”可知，prevented“防止”，应使用一般过去时；tying“拴”，tie的动名词形式，用在介词“by”后面，表示通过某种方式。故填prevented；tying。 80. My father often goes to foreign countries on business. My father often goes ________ on business. 【答案】abroad 【解析】 【详解】句意：我爸爸经常去国外出差。“foreign countries”（外国）的同义表达为“abroad”（在国外），“go abroad”是固定搭配，意为“去国外”，故填abroad。 九、书面表达（满分25分） 81. 八年级的你，正值青春年华。青春为成长提供舞台，成长见证青春的色彩。学校英语广播台即将举行“时光·蜕变·成长”为主题的演讲比赛，请你根据下图提示（仅供参考），选一项对你来说最重要的变化，结合内容要点，用英文写一篇演讲稿。 内容要点： ★ What is the most important change for you? ★ What experience made this change happen? ★ How do you feel about this change? 要求：1．文中不得出现你的真实姓名和学校名称。 2．内容需包含所给要点，可适当发挥，使短文连贯，通顺。 3．词数在100词左右，开头和结尾已写好，不计入总词数。 Dear teachers and classmates, It’s my great honor to be here and share the story of my growth with you.

Among different AI tools, Doubao, Kimi, DeepSeek and Tongyi Qianwen are quite popular among students. Let’s take a look at how they are different. Doubao is great for language learning. It can explain grammar points clearly, just like a patient English teacher. For example, when you can’t understand the present perfect tense clearly, Doubao can provide many examples and simple explanations (解释). It also helps with writing by checking grammar mistakes and giving tips. Kimi, on the other hand, pays more attention to creative ideas. If you are writing a story or a poem for English homework, Kimi can offer interesting plots (情节) and themes, which is useful for students who want to make their writing excellent. DeepSeek is powerful in learning facts. It has much information in different fields. When you are working on a history project or a science report in English, DeepSeek can quickly provide you with supported information and facts. If you come across something complex, DeepSeek can break it down into clear parts so that you can better order your thoughts. Tongyi Qianwen is really helpful for making pictures and shortening long texts. If you need pictures for a school project, just tell it what you want and it will make great pictures. Also, if you have a long reading for homework and don’t want to read it all, it can quickly tell you the main ideas. It makes study easier and faster. Different tools have different uses.

It has a long history among almost all different groups of people but especially for children. In 1926, a top was found in Shanxi province, which shows the game is over 4,000 years old. Even now, the game is still popular. This old game stays with us, bringing simple joys and passing on the tradition. Spinning tops come in different forms for play and competition. The whip is very important—it gets the top to spin. Tops are made from different materials. Stone tops are heavy. Woolen ones feel smooth, while bamboo ones are light. Children love smaller, colourful tops. They are easy for little hands to hold. However, those used in competitions are quite different. The top for the competition usually weighs around 0.45 kilogram and the whip is at least 2 meters long. As yon can guess, mastering their operation (操作) is no walk in the park. Top spinning was once a worldwide popular street game for children. Here is how you play: You wind (缠绕) the rope of the whip around the top that is put on the smooth ground, or even ice. The whip is pulled back causing ▲ . With the help of the whip, the top is kept spinning faster and faster. In China, this simple game has turned into a competition. Competition rules are different in many ways. In one, often called a “battling tops (斗陀螺)”, two players make their tops crash into each other. The purpose is to make the other person’s top fall. The one that keeps spinning wins. Another is to get the top to spin over obstacles (障碍物). It takes a lot of skills and patience. And again, the winner is the player whose top spins the longest. 31.

For example, Independence Day in the United States falls on July 4th. In Chile, people celebrate the Fiestas Patrias. It is such an important holiday that it is celebrated for two days, on September 18th and 19th. ②Chile was under the rule of another country for 300 years. It officially proclaimed (宣布) independence on February 12th, 1818. Although people in Chile fought for eight years to get total freedom, they still think of the day, September 18th in 1810, as their first step toward independence. That’s why people celebrate this day. ③How is the Fiestas Patrias celebrated? During this holiday, many schools and shops close for a week so people can celebrate with their families. People are dressed in Chilean clothes and start celebrations with traditional parties. One of the most important activities at the parties is La Cueca, a national dance. The dance is performed in pairs, usually a man and a woman. They dance to lively music with a cloth in hand. And they stomp (跺脚) and circle each other. ④There are other outdoor activities. People ride horses and also play a game called Rayuela, which is played with a hard disc (圆盘). Both kids and adults make or buy paper kites and fly them during the celebrations. People also enjoy dishes with a lot of meat like beef and sausages during the holiday. ⑤All in all, the Fiestas Patrias shows Chilean spirits and the way of life.

If so, you would be called an “early bird”. Do you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until afternoon? If so, you’re probably a “night owl (猫头鹰)”. Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way? And is one better than the other? There are different ideas. ① most people believe that early risers are hard-working. They start their day earlier, finish their work on time and be more successful. On the other hand, those who like to get up late are thought to be lazy. People believe they miss out the best time of the day and waste morning hours sleeping. But is it really true that only early risers can be successful? Maybe not. Some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus (集中) longer and produce more than early risers. ② Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgium study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines (常规). After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert (思维敏捷的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. ③ Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase from their brains. This adder energy allows them to stay awake longer. Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an influence (影响) on sleeping habits, yet genetics (遗传学) may play the biggest role. ④ It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if you’re happy rising early or staying up late, you’re probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock. 41. Why does the writer ask questions in the first paragraph? A. To ask readers to answer them. B. To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To check readers’ knowledge on sleep. D. To show the importance of getting up early. 42. Where can we put the sentence “Just as the saying goes, ‘the early bird catches the worm.’”? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 43. Which of the following may have the biggest influence on Simon’s sleeping habits? A. He lives near a busy street. B. His parents are early risers. C. His bedroom is painted blue. D. He often exercises before bedtime. 44. What opinion does the writer finally agree to? A. People should get up early. B. What fits you most is the best. C. Staying up late is good for health. D. It’s impossible to change one’s sleeping habit. 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Secret of Your Body B. How to Change Sleeping Habits C. Why We Are “Early Birds” or “Night Owls” D. “Early Birds” or “Night Owls”: Which Is Better? 第二部分 非选择题（65分） 五、任务型阅读 （本题共10小题；每题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。（注意：每个空格只填一个单词） Cleaning a house seems like a job that never ends.
