Ⅰ.阅读理解
Can the way you stand or sit affect your success?
This is often discussed in business-“the importance of body language”, noted the US news website Business Insider, “It actually has an impact on not just the way others look at us, but also how we actually perform.”
That's perhaps why Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy shot to instant fame (一举成名) after giving a TED talk on the subject in 2012. According to The New York Times, Cuddy's speech is among the most viewed TED talks of all time.
Cuddy and her team study body language, particularly what they call “highpower” and “lowpower” poses (姿态).Their research showed that standing or sitting in a certain way, even for just two minutes, changes one's body chemistry and selfperception.
“I wanted to equip people with tools that would help them feel stronger, less fearful, and better able to bring their full, spirited selves to stressful situations like speaking in class, ” Cuddy told CNN.
“Highpower” refers to the act of taking a posture of confidence, even when you don't feel very confident. Typical highpower poses are about opening up. You stretch (伸展) and expand your body to take up as much space as possible. For example, bosses are doing highpower poses when they lean (倚靠) back in their chairs, put their hands behind their heads, and kick their feet up onto their desks. Meanwhile, people take low power positions when they're feeling helpless or defeated. They close up, wrapping their arms around themselves and tucking their limbs in (缩起四肢).
“This isn't about what your body language is communicating to others,it's about what your body language is communicating to you.Your body language is changing your mind, which changes your behavior,which changes your outcomes, ”said Cuddy.
The bestknown high power pose is nicknamed the “Wonder Woman” pose. You just stand tall with your chest out and your hands on your hips (臀部). Why not give it a shot (尝试),and see whether you feel more confident than before?
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。主要讲述身体语言对个人事业成功的影响和展示个人自信的重要性。
1.According to the article, Professor Amy Cuddy wanted her study on body language to ________.
A.help people to become more confident
B.make people fitter and stronger
C.teach people how to make a better speech
D.help distinguish between people of different social classes
解析:A [细节理解题。根据第五段中的“I wanted to equip people with tools that would help them feel stronger, less fearful, and better able to bring their full, spirited selves to stressful situations like speaking in class”可以得出答案。]

A.Folding your arms.
B.Looking down while in the presence of others.
C.Sitting with your arm spread out around the chair next to you.
D.Resting your chin on your hands as if wondering about something.
解析:C [推理判断题。根据第六段“Typical highpower poses are about opening up. You stretch and expand your body to take up as much space as possible.”以及后面举的例子可知,highpower poses一般是那些往外伸展的动作,所以C项为正确答案。]
3.The main purpose of this article is to ________.

B.give practical tips on how to communicate with others

Ⅱ.阅读填句
Many effects of a lack of sleep, such as being badtempered and not working at your best are well known. __1__ Regular poor sleep puts you at risk of serious medical conditions, including obesity and heart disease, and it shortens your life expectancy.
How much sleep do we need?
2__ But some need more and some less. What matters is that you find out how much sleep you need and then try to achieve it. As a general rule, if you wake up tired and spend the day longing for a chance to have a nap, it's likely that you're not getting enough sleep.
3__
An occasional night without sleep makes you feel tired and irritable(急躁易怒) the next day, but it won't harm your health. After several sleepless nights, the mental effects become more serious. Your brain will fog, making it difficult to concentrate and make decisions. __4__
How to catch up on lost sleep?
If you don't get enough sleep, there's only one way to compensate (补偿)-getting more sleep.
5__ If you've had months of limited sleep, you'll have built up a big sleep debt, so expect recovery to take several weeks.
Starting on a weekend, try to add on an extra hour or two of sleep a night. The way to do this is to go to bed when you're tired and allow your body to wake you in the morning (no alarm clocks allowed).
A. What happens if we don't sleep?
B.Why is a good sleep vital for a long life?
C.It won't happen with a single early night.
D.If it continues, lack of sleep can affect your overall health.
E.However, the cost of all those sleepless nights is more than those.
F.It's now clear that a solid night's sleep is essential for a long and healthy life.
G.Most of us need around 8 hours of goodquality sleep a night to function properly.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。介绍了睡眠不足的影响以及如何补充睡眠。
1.解析:E [上面提到了睡眠不足的负面影响,如脾气不好和工作状态不好等,下文又说长期睡眠不足会引发肥胖和心脏病等健康问题,此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句,故E项(然而,那些不眠之夜的代价远不止这些)符合语境。]
2.解析:G [根据本空后的“But some need more and some less.”可知,有的人需要多一些,有的人需要少一些,此处说的是睡眠时间问题,故G项(我们大多数人每晚需要大约8个小时的高质量睡眠才能正常工作)符合语境。]
3.解析:A [本段分别介绍了偶尔性的睡眠不足和长期性的睡眠不足对健康的影响,故A项(如果我们不睡觉会发生什么?)符合语境。]
4.解析:D [本空前讲述了经过几个不眠之夜,精神上的影响会更加严重,思维变得模糊,很难集中精力做决定,此处是说这种情况继续下去的后果,故D项(如果这种情况持续下去,睡眠不足会影响你的整体健康)符合语境。]
5.解析:C [根据本空后的“If you've had months of limited sleep, you'll have built up a big sleep debt, so expect recovery to take several weeks.”可知,几个月的睡眠不足让你欠下了一大笔睡眠债,所以预计需要用几个星期的时间恢复,故C项(这不会在一夜之间发生)符合语境。]
Ⅲ.完形填空

The development of social __8__ allowed the products of what we know as civilization to arise: new inventions, art, music, architecture, cities, philosophy, etc. All of these things are possible only if people can __9__ their time to something other than obtaining food or physical security, which huntergatherer peoples must do more or less fulltime, and __10__ peoples are able to separate classes and groups.
