Yes, it's not a new trend. However, we still can't say that IT is losing its popularity. Living in a city brings people a lot of comfort because there are various living facilities in the city. For instance, we can easily reach supermarkets, hospitals, schools and entertainment centres. Above all, employment opportunities are what most people mainly look for when deciding to move from the countryside. As for me, I find myself happier on the opposite side. I was born in a large city, attended school, graduated from college, went through at least fifty job interviews and faulting the competition for being promoted. Years of struggle and constant rush have told me that big cities never stop. This year, I turned forty, and I realized that I needed more space and less stress. That's why I ended up in a village. IT is only thirty kilometers away from my hometown. I am now able to enjoy the beauty of nature, friendly neighbors and most importantly, low cost of living.

My grandmother knew what every Italian-American grandmother knows: that food brings us together, and that one of the best ways to show people you love them is to feed them.
It’s no surprise, then, that so many of our family traditions centered around food. We’d gather in the kitchen for every birthday and holiday, filling up on antipasto (开胃菜) before piling our plates high with the main course. My grandparents always hosted Christmas dinner, and it was always more than enough, but right before we sat down to eat, she’d pull me aside to show me the dish she made just for me: fresh pasta with tomato sauce, my absolute favorite food in the world.
It was a simple dish, but to me it was everything. It was the feeling of comfort in a bowl, warm food that filled me with joy. But more than that, it was a gesture that made me feel like I belonged. I was a shy kid, still trying to understand who I was, and in many situations I felt invisible. I’d wonder whether anyone saw me, or if I mattered at all. And here was my grandmother, showing me that she cared for me, and that I was worth making something special for. Years went by; I moved away and got married, but food was always one of the ways my grandmother showed her love. I’d visit throughout the years and she’d serve up a plate of pasta, some leftover dessert she had and a few pieces of fruit she pulled from the fridge.
When my daughter was born in 2020, for the first time in my life I wasn’t about to make the trip back home for Christmas. Trying to make the most of things, I cooked my family’s traditional foods including, of course, fresh pasta. I facetimed my parents and they handed the phone to my grandmother, and I showed her the pasta. I didn’t know it then, but it was the last time I’d ever speak with her. Shortly after the holidays she passed away unexpectedly.
It all seemed not fair that my grandmother passed away so soon after I became a parent. I’d hold my daughter and think about how she’d never get to experience my grandmother’s love, her sense of humor or her cooking. I’d wonder how I could make her feel the same sense of belonging and love that I felt through my grandmother’s pasta.
24. What does food mean in the author’s family according to the first two paragraphs?
A. A bond that unites family members.
B. A tradition only for birthdays and holidays.
C. A symbol of happiness among family members.
D. A way to satisfy hunger during family gatherings.
25. What made the author feel unique about the pasta?
A. The pasta was a rare dish that was difficult to make.
B. The pasta showed grandmother’s love and attention.
C. The author was the only one who was offered the pasta.
D. The pasta showed the author was important among her peers.
26. Why did the author feel unfair about her grandmother’s passing?
A. Because she couldn’t cook her grandmother traditional foods.
B. Because she had no chance to say goodbye to her grandmother.
C. Because her grandmother didn’t get to see her daughter grow up.
D. Because her daughter would miss out her grandmother’s warmth.
27. Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandmother?
A. Helpful and generous B. Considerate and caring
C. Careful and courageous D. Humorous and responsible
【答案】24 A 25. B 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者家族中食物所承载的情感意义,特别是祖母通过食物表达对作者的爱。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“that food brings us together, and that one of the best ways to show people you love them is to feed them.(食物让我们聚在一起,向人们表达你爱他们的最好方式之一就是给他们食物。)”以及第二段中的“It’s no surprise, then, that so many of our family traditions centered around food.(因此,我们家族的许多传统都围绕着食物,这并不奇怪。)”可知,在作者的家庭中,食物是团结家庭成员的纽带。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It was a simple dish, but to me it was everything. It was the feeling of comfort in a bowl, warm food that filled me with joy. But more than that, it was a gesture that made me feel like I belonged.(这是一道简单的菜,但对我来说,它就是一切。那是一碗里的舒适感,温暖的食物让我充满喜悦。但更重要的是,那是一个让我觉得自己属于这里的举动。)”以及“And here was my grandmother, showing me that she cared for me, and that I was worth making something special for.(我的祖母在这里,向我表明她关心我,我值得为她做些特别的事。)”可知,意面让作者感到特别是因为它表明了祖母的爱和关注。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“It all seemed not fair that my grandmother passed away so soon after I became a parent. I’d hold my daughter and think about how she’d never get to experience my grandmother’s love, her sense of humor or her cooking.(在我成为父母后不久,我的祖母就去世了,这一切似乎都不公平。我会抱着女儿,想着她永远无法体验到我祖母的爱、幽默感或她的厨艺。)”可知,作者觉得祖母的去世不公平是因为她的女儿将错过祖母的温暖。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And here was my grandmother, showing me that she cared for me, and that I was worth making something special for.(我的祖母在这里,向我表明她关心我,我值得为她做些特别的事。)”以及全文对祖母通过食物表达对作者的爱和关注的描述,可推知,作者的祖母是体贴且关心人的。故选B项。
C
Are you able to cook a healthy meal? Are you able to manage your money well? Can you sew a button onto clothes? Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. Nowadays, schools focus a lot on tough tests and making academic (学业的) requirements higher. Because of this, classes on practical skills are sometimes left out of our busy school schedule. Even when schools do teach these skills, they’re often ignored or not seen as important. I believe, however, that schools should teach practical skills as part of a well-rounded education to help us survive in the real world after we graduate.
Schools have done well in preparing us to be successful students in our studies, but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills. Yet practical skills such as cooking, housekeeping and first-aid are important for us to manage in the real world. For example, to those who did not have such basic skills, the Covid-19 lockdown was a big shock, as they suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation where restaurants had to close and other important home services also stopped working. For those who experienced lockdowns, being able to cook meals or fix a light bulb themselves would have been satisfying. Yet, it’s a pity that schools continue to produce more scholarly individuals who are unfortunately unable to perform simple home-based tasks.
When schools teach practical skills, they are sending an important signal that academic performance alone does not lead to successful growth. Skills such as financial (财政的) management help us become more responsible individuals. Equipped with the financial knowledge that experts provide in schools, we can better discuss our financial and budgeting goals with our parents. Furthermore, enough knowledge on budgeting and saving can keep us away from overspending and help us navigate the world of money more cautiously. The world we live in today is far more complex and schools need to teach beyond academic subjects.
Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” School is not simply a place to pass on knowledge and prepare us for a career. By offering us practical skills, it also passes on wisdom that can help us build happy, healthy and fulfilled lives.
28. Why does the author mention the three questions in the first paragraph?
A To make the article funny and attractive.
B. To show the difficulty in learning these skills.
C. To show these practical skills are in great need.
D. To prove academic knowledge is more important.
29. How does the writer develop the second paragraph?
A. By using quotes. B. By giving examples.
C. By explaining reasons. D. By making comparisons.
30. What is the benefit of school’s teaching financial management skills?
A. It gives students an advantage in the job market.
B. It causes students to be more likely to overspend.
C. It makes students better talk about financial plans.
D. It helps students become more financially independent.
31. Which of the following would Sandra Carey most likely agree with?
A. Knowledge is power. B. All that glitters is not gold.
C. A little learning is a dangerous thing. D. Knowledge for life, wisdom for soul.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. D

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了学校教育应注重实用技能的培养,指出学校在学术教育上表现出色,但在生活技能培养上有所欠缺,强调实用技能对现实生活的重要性,并阐述了学校教授理财等实用技能的好处。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Are you able to cook a healthy meal? Are you able to manage your money well? Can you sew a button onto clothes? Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. Nowadays, schools focus a lot on tough tests and making academic (学业的) requirements higher. Because of this, classes on practical skills are sometimes left out of our busy school schedule.(你会烹饪营养均衡的餐食吗?能妥善管理个人财务吗?会给衣服缝纽扣吗?面对这些问题,能坦然点头的人恐怕不多。当下学校教育往往侧重于严苛考试与学业要求,实用技能课程因而在紧凑的课表中时常缺席)”可知,作者通过提出这三个问题,指出很多人可能并不具备这些基本的实用技能,从而表明这些实用技能是急需的,进而引出相关教育话题。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, to those who did not have such basic skills, the Covid-19 lockdown was a big shock, as they suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation where restaurants had to close and other important home services also stopped working.(例如,对于那些没有这些基本技能的人来说,新冠疫情封锁是一个巨大的冲击,因为他们突然发现自己处于一个困难的境地,餐馆不得不关闭,其他重要的家庭服务也停止了工作)”可知,作者通过举例那些没有基本生活技能的人在新冠疫情封锁期间遇到的困难,来强调实用技能的重要性,从而展开第二段的论述。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Equipped with the financial knowledge that experts provide in schools, we can better discuss our financial and budgeting goals with our parents.(有了学校专业人员提供的金融知识,我们可以更好地与父母讨论我们的财务和预算目标)”可知,学校教授财务管理技能的好处是让学生能够更好地讨论财务计划。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.”(作家桑德拉·凯里说:“永远不要把知识和智慧混为一谈。一个帮助你谋生;另一个帮助你创造生活。”)”可知,桑德拉·凯里认为知识和智慧是不同的,知识帮助谋生,智慧帮助创造生活,由此推知,她最可能同意的是“知识为生活,智慧为灵魂”。故选D项。
D
Every morning when the alarm goes off, many people face a hard choice: to snooze (打盹) or not to snooze? If you happen to be an iPhone user, you may have wondered why the snooze button gives you exactly nine minutes. This number is not a casual choice as it is tied to historical design and human sleep science.
The nine-minute snooze period is not unique to the iPhone. In the mid-20th century, when mechanical (机械的) alarm clocks were the main type on the market, a leading producer introduced a snooze alarm. However, the standard gears of mechanical clocks made it difficult to set a double-digit snooze period. Engineers eventually settled on nine minutes, the largest possible single-digit (个位数的), to avoid the need to redesign the clock’s mechanism. Apple might have taken the nine-minute snooze to honor this early invention.
From a physiological point of view, a nine-minute period is practical. Our bodies start to fall into the second stage of a sleep cycle about 10 minutes after falling asleep. Therefore, a snooze period of nine minutes allows for less sudden awakening as it helps avoid a deeper stage of sleep. This timing can also reduce sleepiness and make it slightly easier to wake up when the alarm rings again.
The debate over whether snoozing is helpful or harmful continues among sleep experts. Some research suggests that snoozing provides enough time for the body and brain to shift gradually from sleep to wakefulness. On the other hand, other studies argue that while hitting the snooze button might give you a brief feeling of extra rest, it fragments your sleep and makes you more tired than if you wake up with the first alarm. Continuous, undisturbed sleep is generally better for mental abilities and overall health. Finally, understanding your own sleep patterns can help you make the decision between whether to keep hitting the snooze button or embrace the cruel reality of the first alarm.
32. Why was a nine-minute snooze time chosen for mechanical alarm clocks?
A. To show respect to the early design. B. To follow the trend of other clock producers.
C. To match the principles of human sleep science. D. To avoid the change of the clock’s inner structure.
33. What does the underlined word “fragment” in the last paragraph mean?
A. worsen B. break C. shorten D. delay
34. What does the author suggest at the end of the passage?
A. Keep hitting the snooze button to get extra rest.
B. Make a choice by considering your own sleep habits.
C. Ignore the snoozing effect and follow your sleep patterns.
D. Consider both positive and negative effects of snoozing before deciding.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Nine Minutes of Extra Rest or Nine Minutes of Regret?
B. Is the Nine-Minute snooze Beneficial to Our Sleep Routine?
C. Why is the Snooze Button an Important Feature of Alarm Clocks?
D. How Does the Snooze Button Work to Influence Our Sleep Quality?
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要围绕闹钟的九分钟打盹展开,讨论了其历史原因、生理依据以及打盹的利弊,最后建议根据自己的睡眠习惯决定是否打盹。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中“However, the standard gears of mechanical clocks made it difficult to set a double-digit snooze period. Engineers eventually settled on nine minutes, the largest possible single-digit (个位数的), to avoid the need to redesign the clock’s mechanism.(然而,机械时钟的标准齿轮使得它很难设置一个两位数的休眠时间。工程师们最终确定为9分钟,这是最大的个位数,以避免重新设计时钟的机制。)”可知,机械闹钟选择九分钟打盹是为了避免改变时钟的内部结构,故选D。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“makes you more tired than if you wake up with the first alarm. Continuous, undisturbed sleep is generally better for mental abilities and overall health(这会让你比闹钟一响就醒更累。持续的、不受干扰的睡眠通常对心智能力和整体健康都有好处)”可知,虽然按下贪睡按钮可能会给你一种短暂的额外休息的感觉,但它会打断你的睡眠,让你比第一次闹铃就醒来更累,fragments的意思是“使……破碎、使……不完整”,和break意思相近。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Finally, understanding your own sleep patterns can help you make the decision between whether to keep hitting the snooze button or embrace the cruel reality of the first alarm.(最后,了解自己的睡眠模式可以帮助你做出决定,是继续按下贪睡按钮,还是接受第一个闹钟的残酷现实。)”可知,作者建议根据自己的睡眠习惯来做决定,故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Every morning when the alarm goes off, many people face a hard choice: to snooze (打盹) or not to snooze? If you happen to be an iPhone user, you may have wondered why the snooze button gives you exactly nine minutes. This number is not a casual choice as it is tied to historical design and human sleep science.(每天早上,当闹钟响起的时候,很多人都面临着一个艰难的选择:是睡还是不睡?如果你碰巧是iPhone用户,你可能想知道为什么贪睡按钮会给你整整9分钟。这个数字不是随便选择的,因为它与历史设计和人类睡眠科学有关。)”可知,文章主要围绕闹钟的九分钟打盹展开,讨论了其历史原因、生理依据以及打盹的利弊,最后建议根据自己的睡眠习惯决定是否打盹,因此本文最好的标题是A选项“Nine Minutes of Extra Rest or Nine Minutes of Regret?(九分钟额外休息还是九分钟后悔?)”。故选A。

与传统书籍相比,电子书在我们旅行时更方便携带。
【答案】 ①. Compared ②. with/to ③. convenient
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语,非谓语动词和形容词。对比中英文句子可知,前两空意为“与……相比”,第三空意为“方便的”,“与……相比”是固定短语compare with/ to,句中谓语是are,空格处用非谓语动词,e-books和compare之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此用过去分词表被动,作状语,位于句首的单词首字母大写;第三空用形容词作表语,“方便的”的形容词是convenient。故填①Compared;②with/to;③convenient。

旁边的人全程都在跟我说话,我根本无法专心做这个实验。
【答案】 ①. concentrate##focus ②. on ③. experiment
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。concentrate/focus on意思是“专心于,集中精力于” ,符合“无法专心做……”的语境,couldn’t后接动词原形。“实验”是experiment,作宾语。故填①concentrate/focus②on③experiment。
79. It was Lang Ping’s tireless efforts ______ brought ______ and ______ to her country.
正是郎平的不懈努力,为她的国家带来了荣誉与荣耀。
【答案】 ①. that ②. honour/honor ③. glory
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句和名词。表示“荣誉”应用honour/honor;表示“荣耀”应用glory;此处对主语Lang Ping’s tireless efforts进行强调,需用强调句型It was+被强调部分+that+句子其他成分。故填①that;②honour/ honor;③glory。
80. I’ve heard that the Terracotta Army is an amazing sight, and I ______ ______ ______ go.
我听说兵马俑是一处令人惊叹的景观,我已经迫不及待想去看看了。
【答案】 ①. can’t ②. wait ③. to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。根据汉语提示可知,空处需要补全“迫不及待”这一含义,应用固定短语can’t wait to do sth.,表示“迫不及待做某事”。故填①can’t②wait③to。
81. Lisa ______ ______ ______ at the local animal shelter since she finished her summer homework last month.
自从上个月完成暑假作业后,莉萨就一直在当地的动物收容所做志愿者。
【答案】 ①. has ②. been ③. volunteering
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。表示“做志愿者”应用动词volunteer,根据时间状语“since she finished her summer homework last month”和语境可知,此处表示过去发生的事情一直持续到现在并将持续下去,使用现在完成进行时,主语为Lisa,助动词用has。故填①has;②been;③volunteering。
82. Many students think it meaningful to ______ ______ ______ the school’s English speech contest because they want to improve their oral English.
很多学生认为报名参加学校英语演讲比赛是有意义的,因为他们想提升自己的英语口语。
【答案】 ①. sign ②. up ③. for
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。中英文句子对比可知,空处需要补全“报名参加”。sign up for是固定短语,意为“报名参加(活动、比赛等)”,符合语境。空前为动词不定式符号to,所以sign用动词原形。故填①sign②up③for。
83. When the teacher walked past his desk, he pretended __________________ notes, nodding his head from time to time as if agreeing with what the teacher had said.
当老师从他桌旁走过时,他假装在记笔记,还时不时点头,仿佛认同老师说的内容一样。
【答案】 ①. to ②. be ③. taking
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。中英文句子对比可知,空处需体现“在记笔记”,“假装做某事”常用固定搭配pretend to do sth.,“记笔记”的固定表达为take notes。故填①to②be③taking。
84. She spent a whole day ______ ______ a ______ online last week and is now waiting for the result.
她上周花了整整一天时间在网上申请签证,现在就等结果了。
【答案】 ①. applying ②. for ③. visa
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。根据汉语提示可知,空处需要补全“申请签证”这一含义,应用固定短语apply for sth.,表示“申请某物”,“签证”应用名词visa,且“spend time (in) doing sth.”为固定搭配,表示“花费时间做某事”,所以动词apply应用动名词形式applying。故填①applying②for③visa。
85. I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to ___________ ___________ ___________ a lot more.
我知道作为高中生我得更加努力地学习,学会承担更多的责任。
【答案】 ①. being ②. responsible ③. for
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语及非谓语动词。根据句意,此处表示“承担……的责任”,对应的固定短语为“be responsible for”,句中“get used to”(习惯于)中的“to”为介词,后接名词或动名词形式,因此“be”需变为动名词“being”,符合短语搭配和语法要求。故填①being②responsible③for 。

B
My grandmother knew what every Italian-American grandmother knows: that food brings us together, and that one of the best ways to show people you love them is to feed them.
It’s no surprise, then, that so many of our family traditions centered around food. We’d gather in the kitchen for every birthday and holiday, filling up on antipasto (开胃菜) before piling our plates high with the main course. My grandparents always hosted Christmas dinner, and it was always more than enough, but right before we sat down to eat, she’d pull me aside to show me the dish she made just for me: fresh pasta with tomato sauce, my absolute favorite food in the world.
It was a simple dish, but to me it was everything. It was the feeling of comfort in a bowl, warm food that filled me with joy. But more than that, it was a gesture that made me feel like I belonged. I was a shy kid, still trying to understand who I was, and in many situations I felt invisible. I’d wonder whether anyone saw me, or if I mattered at all. And here was my grandmother, showing me that she cared for me, and that I was worth making something special for. Years went by; I moved away and got married, but food was always one of the ways my grandmother showed her love. I’d visit throughout the years and she’d serve up a plate of pasta, some leftover dessert she had and a few pieces of fruit she pulled from the fridge.
When my daughter was born in 2020, for the first time in my life I wasn’t about to make the trip back home for Christmas. Trying to make the most of things, I cooked my family’s traditional foods including, of course, fresh pasta. I facetimed my parents and they handed the phone to my grandmother, and I showed her the pasta. I didn’t know it then, but it was the last time I’d ever speak with her. Shortly after the holidays she passed away unexpectedly.
It all seemed not fair that my grandmother passed away so soon after I became a parent. I’d hold my daughter and think about how she’d never get to experience my grandmother’s love, her sense of humor or her cooking. I’d wonder how I could make her feel the same sense of belonging and love that I felt through my grandmother’s pasta.
24 What does food mean in the author’s family according to the first two paragraphs?
A. A bond that unites family members.
B. A tradition only for birthdays and holidays.
C. A symbol of happiness among family members.
D. A way to satisfy hunger during family gatherings.
25. What made the author feel unique about the pasta?
A. The pasta was a rare dish that was difficult to make.
B. The pasta showed grandmother’s love and attention.
C. The author was the only one who was offered the pasta.
D. The pasta showed the author was important among her peers.
26. Why did the author feel unfair about her grandmother’s passing?
A. Because she couldn’t cook her grandmother traditional foods.
B. Because she had no chance to say goodbye to her grandmother.
C. Because her grandmother didn’t get to see her daughter grow up.
D. Because her daughter would miss out her grandmother’s warmth.
27. Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandmother?
A. Helpful and generous B. Considerate and caring
C. Careful and courageous D. Humorous and responsible
C
Are you able to cook a healthy meal? Are you able to manage your money well? Can you sew a button onto clothes? Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. Nowadays, schools focus a lot on tough tests and making academic (学业的) requirements higher. Because of this, classes on practical skills are sometimes left out of our busy school schedule. Even when schools do teach these skills, they’re often ignored or not seen as important. I believe, however, that schools should teach practical skills as part of a well-rounded education to help us survive in the real world after we graduate.
Schools have done well in preparing us to be successful students in our studies but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills. Yet practical skills such as cooking, housekeeping and first-aid are important for us to manage in the real world. For example, to those who did not have such basic skills, the Covid-19 lockdown was a big shock, as they suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation where restaurants had to close and other important home services also stopped working. For those who experienced lockdowns, being able to cook meals or fix a light bulb themselves would have been satisfying. Yet, it’s a pity that schools continue to produce more scholarly individuals who are unfortunately unable to perform simple home-based tasks.
When schools teach practical skills, they are sending an important signal that academic performance alone does not lead to successful growth. Skills such as financial (财政的) management help us become more responsible individuals. Equipped with the financial knowledge that experts provide in schools, we can better discuss our financial and budgeting goals with our parents. Furthermore, enough knowledge on budgeting and saving can keep us away from overspending and help us navigate the world of money more cautiously. The world we live in today is far more complex and schools need to teach beyond academic subjects.
Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” School is not simply a place to pass on knowledge and prepare us for a career. By offering us practical skills, it also passes on wisdom that can help us build happy, healthy and fulfilled lives.
28. Why does the author mention the three questions in the first paragraph?
A. To make the article funny and attractive.
B. To show the difficulty in learning these skills.
C. To show these practical skills are in great need.
D. To prove academic knowledge is more important.
29. How does the writer develop the second paragraph?
A. By using quotes. B. By giving examples.
C. By explaining reasons. D. By making comparisons.
30. What is the benefit of school’s teaching financial management skills?
A. It gives students an advantage in the job market.
B. It causes students to be more likely to overspend.
C. It makes students better talk about financial plans.
D. It helps students become more financially independent.
31. Which of the following would Sandra Carey most likely agree with?
A. Knowledge is power. B. All that glitters is not gold.
C. A little learning is a dangerous thing. D. Knowledge for life, wisdom for soul.
D
Every morning when the alarm goes off, many people face a hard choice: to snooze (打盹) or not to snooze? If you happen to be an iPhone user, you may have wondered why the snooze button gives you exactly nine minutes. This number is not a casual choice as it is tied to historical design and human sleep science.
The nine-minute snooze period is not unique to the iPhone. In the mid-20th century, when mechanical (机械的) alarm clocks were the main type on the market, a leading producer introduced a snooze alarm. However, the standard gears of mechanical clocks made it difficult to set a double-digit snooze period. Engineers eventually settled on nine minutes, the largest possible single-digit (个位数的), to avoid the need to redesign the clock’s mechanism. Apple might have taken the nine-minute snooze to honor this early invention.
From a physiological point of view, a nine-minute period is practical. Our bodies start to fall into the second stage of a sleep cycle about 10 minutes after falling asleep. Therefore, a snooze period of nine minutes allows for less sudden awakening as it helps avoid a deeper stage of sleep. This timing can also reduce sleepiness and make it slightly easier to wake up when the alarm rings again.
The debate over whether snoozing is helpful or harmful continues among sleep experts. Some research suggests that snoozing provides enough time for the body and brain to shift gradually from sleep to wakefulness. On the other hand, other studies argue that while hitting the snooze button might give you a brief feeling of extra rest, it fragments your sleep and makes you more tired than if you wake up with the first alarm. Continuous, undisturbed sleep is generally better for mental abilities and overall health. Finally, understanding your own sleep patterns can help you make the decision between whether to keep hitting the snooze button or embrace the cruel reality of the first alarm.
32. Why was a nine-minute snooze time chosen for mechanical alarm clocks?
A. To show respect to the early design. B. To follow the trend of other clock producers.
C. To match the principles of human sleep science. D. To avoid the change of the clock’s inner structure.
33. What does the underlined word “fragment” in the last paragraph mean?
A. worsen B. break C. shorten D. delay
34. What does the author suggest at the end of the passage?
A. Keep hitting the snooze button to get extra rest.
B. Make a choice by considering your own sleep habits.
C. Ignore the snoozing effect and follow your sleep patterns.
D. Consider both positive and negative effects of snoozing before deciding.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Nine Minutes of Extra Rest or Nine Minutes of Regret?
B. Is the Nine-Minute snooze Beneficial to Our Sleep Routine?
C. Why is the Snooze Button an Important Feature of Alarm Clocks?
D. How Does the Snooze Button Work to Influence Our Sleep Quality?
