课时作业(六)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

My husband and I used to live in the city.But we often faced a lot of problems there.There was a lot of late-night noise.It was difficult to find parking.And the rent of the apartment was high.Finally，my husband and I decided to move to the suburb outside Boston.

We started looking for our new home.It turned out that many other people were also moving to the suburbs and it wasn't easy to find a nice house there.Finally we went to see a small and dark house.It needed a lot of work.But it was well built and it was on a street where we could walk to Starbucks，restaurants and bus stops.Well，before I knew it，we had made an offer and the house became ours.

On our first night in the house I cried for five hours.I thought we had made the wrong decision and I wanted to go back to the city.The house was smelly and old.And many families and old people lived around it.But after thinking of the problems we had when we were living in the city，I calmed down.Besides，our new home wasn't that bad，after all.I had a driveway of my own.There were three big bedrooms and a backyard for my dog.Oh, how_lovely_the_sound_of_nothing_was.I changed the house inch by inch and it became a very comfortable home.

We have been in our house for over two years until now and it's the best move we have ever made.While I'm glad I can drive into the city in fifteen minutes and enjoy all it has offered，I'm always happy to return home.

C　细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“On our first night in the house I cried for five hours.I thought we had made the wrong decision and I wanted to go back to the city—the house was smelly and old.”可知，刚到新家的那天晚上，作者认为自己做了错误的决定，为搬家感到后悔，故选C项。

A．It was lovely.

B．It was really quiet.

B

The negative health effects of sleep shortages during the week can't be changed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.

Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes.But there are still some people who hope that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.

The research, published in Current Biology, ruins those hopes.Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term.While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of insufficient sleep, those gains were wiped out when people returned right to their same sleep schedule the next Monday.

“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they're gone when you go back to your routine.It's very short-lived，”said Kenneth Wright, who oversaw the research.“These health effects are long-term.It's kind of like smoking once was—people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice.I think sleep is in the early phase of where smoking used to be.”

Wright said that the study suggests people should  prioritize  sleep—cutting out the optional“sleep stealers”such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices.Even when people don't have a choice about losing sleep due to child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would think about a healthy diet or exercise.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要说明“周末补觉”不是一种健康的生活方式，

建议人们重视日常睡眠。

4．What had the researchers already known before doing the new research?

A．The actual benefits of weekend recovery sleep.

B．Harm to health caused by the lack of routine sleep.

C．People's habit of shutting off the alarm during holidays.

D．The relationship between body weight and sleep amount.

B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes.”可知，研究人员早就知道，日常睡眠不足会导致体重增加，并增加包括糖尿病在内的其他健康风险。故选B。

5．Kenneth Wright mentioned smoking to  ________ .

A．call on smokers to completely abandon smoking

B．advise people to go to sleep when they want to smoke

C．show people have known the harm brought by smoking

D．show people will someday notice the bad effects of sleep deprivation

D　推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第一、二句“It's kind of like smoking once was—people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice.I think sleep is in the early phase of where smoking used to be.”(这有点像过去人们吸烟看不到对健康的直接影响，但现在人们会说吸烟不是一种健康的生活方式。我认为睡眠处于吸烟的早期阶段。)可知，肯尼斯·赖特提到吸烟是为了表明人们有一天会像对吸烟的认识一样注意到睡眠不足的不良影响。故选D。

6．What does the underlined word“prioritize”in the last paragraph probably mean?

A．Putting tasks in order of importance.

B．Getting more than enough of something to deposit it.

C．Cutting down something that is not necessary any more.

D．Treating something as being more important than others.

D　词义猜测题。根据最后一段第一句“Wright said that the study suggests people should  prioritize  sleep-cutting out the optional ‘sleep stealers' such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices.”可知，画线词下文意为“省去那些可有可无的偷走你的睡眠的那些事物，比如看电视节目或花时间在电子设备上”，由此可以推断，prioritize的含义是“优先考虑”，即“认为某事比其他事情更重要”。故选D。

7．What can be the best title for the text?

A．Weekend catch-up sleep is a lie

B．Bad sleep habits are harmful to health
