It will make you meet the “social jet lag (社交时差)” and scientists now think it can be bad for your health. The results of the study show that the social jet lag has something to do with heart problems. The findings have nothing to do with the time of sleep and insomnia (失 眠). Dr Michael A．Grandner was in the study team. They got ideas from a study on sleep, healthy activities, the environment and so on. The results came from 984 people between 22 and 60 years old. “These results show that besides the sleeping time, sleeping on time plays an important part in our health,” said Sierra B．Forbush. According to Shelby Freedman Harris, the social jet lag isn’t a special thing. “It doesn’t have to be a sleep disorder (紊乱). It happens often and we know that people aren’t following the same sleep-wake time every day,” Ms.Harris  said. Staying up late on Friday and Saturday nights and sleeping for a long time on weekends can make our body clocks disordered. We often feel angry easily on Monday mornings because our bodies have difficulty getting used to the sleep time. “All of this happens because the inside body clock that rules our sleep and wake time is in disorder. Sometimes the jet lag of staying up past your usual bedtime is like the jet lag after travelling. You’re putting your body into a different time zone (时区) when you sleep late on weekends,” she said. 1. Why do people have the social jet lag? A．Because they are in poor health. B．Because they change their sleep habits. C．Because they go to a different time zone. D．Because they have poor sleep and bad feelings. 2. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．The social jet lag is bad for people’s health. B．Insomnia has nothing to do with people’s lives. C．Insomnia has something to do with the social jet lag. D．The social jet lag is good for people with heart problems. 3. What do Ms. Harris’s words show? A．The social jet lag is surely a sleep disorder. B．The social jet lag mainly means getting up much earlier than usual. C．Today’s people can’t stay away from the social jet lag at all. D．The social jet lag is becoming a usual problem. 4. Which of the following ideas may the writer agree with? A．Staying up and waking up late on the weekday can’t be bad for our sleep. B．Enough sleeping time and regular sleep are important for our health. C．The jet lag of staying up is always like the jet lag after a long trip. D．Scientists don’t clearly know how our body clocks make or break our health. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 4. B 【导语】本文主要介绍了“社交时差”对健康的影响，以及它产生的原因和相关研究结论。 1. 细节理解题。根据“Staying up and waking up an hour or two late on the weekend can be bad for your sleep. It will make you meet the ‘social jet lag (社交时差)’”以及最后一段“Staying up late on Friday and Saturday nights and sleeping for a long time on weekends can make our body clocks disordered.”可知，人们产生社交时差是因为在周末改变了平时的睡眠习惯，晚睡晚起。故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据“The results of the study show that the social jet lag has something to do with heart problems. The findings have nothing to do with the time of sleep and insomnia (失 眠).”可知，社交时差与心脏问题有关，说明它对健康有害。故选A。 3. 推理判断题。根据“According to Shelby Freedman Harris, the social jet lag isn’t a special thing... It happens often and we know that people aren’t following the same sleep-wake time every day”可知，Harris女士认为社交时差很常见，是一个普遍问题。故选D。 4. 观点态度题。根据“These results show that besides the sleeping time, sleeping on time plays an important part in our health”可知，作者认同“充足的睡眠时间和规律的睡眠对健康很重要”这一观点。故选B。 Passage 4 ①The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty after playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful about what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. ②There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colours and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check, you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. ③Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee (国际奥委会) has limited (限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous (神经紧张的), have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be stopped from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them. ④So we should stay away from the energy drinks to keep healthy. 1. The energy drinks are popular with ________. A．children, women and sports players B．policemen, students and busy people C．old people, young people and students D．students, busy people, and sports players 2. Why should we stop taking drinks with a lot of caffeine? A．Because they are too expensive. B．Because they can keep us awake. C．Because they are too cold to drink.

C．What’s that in energy drinks? D．What’s the use of energy drinks? 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. B 4. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了能量饮料虽看起来诱人，但含有大量咖啡因，对健康有害，我们应远离能量饮料以保持健康。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章第②段“These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players.”可知，能量饮料受学生、忙碌的人以及运动员欢迎。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据文章第③段“Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems.”可知，含大量咖啡因的饮料对健康有害，所以我们要避免饮用。故选D。 3. 篇章结构题。文章第①段引出话题，指出要注意所喝的东西；第②③段详细说明能量饮料的问题，包括针对的人群、含咖啡因及对健康的危害；第④段总结，得出要远离能量饮料的结论，整体是“总-分-总”结构，与选项B的结构相符。故选B。 4. 最佳标题。文章围绕我们应该喝什么展开，指出能量饮料对健康有害，应远离，所以“What should we drink?”最适合作为标题。故选A。 Passage 5 What do you think of exercise?

But now a lot of rock climbers are trying something new: ice climbing. When you go rock climbing, you climb a mountain. When you go ice climbing, you climb ice. A lot of people love ice climbing. Why? On the one hand, they can do it in many places. If people want to try something easy, they can climb glaciers (冰川) or small mountains. Those are very easy. On the other hand, some people don’t like easy sports. They want to try something stimulating. That is to say, they can enjoy the excitement in the sport.

For thousands of years, horses have been important friends to Chinese people. They helped farmers work in the fields and soldiers (军人) fight in wars. Their speed and strength (力量) allowed them to travel far, making them very useful. Chinese people created (创造) many interesting sayings about horses that tell short stories or give advice.

People say it to friends starting new businesses or taking important tests. In Chinese art, horses often appear in paintings and sculptures (雕塑).

Some of these rules are unusual. Let’s take a look at some of them! In some parts of the US, students can ride horses to school. They have special places to tie (拴) up their horses and keep them safe. This is because riding horses is very common (常见的) in those places.

Visitors are usually surprised to see many signs about things they mustn’t do. But these rules also mean that Singapore is a very clean and safe place. Here are some of Singapore’s most famous rules. Don’t Litter Singapore tries hard to keep the country clean. Everyone must throw their litter in a bin, not on the ground. If someone litters, they might have to pay a fine (罚款) of up to $1, 000! Don’t Take Durians on Public Transport Another interesting rule in Singapore is about a fruit called durian, Durians have a very strong smell, and many people really don’t like them. Also, the smell can stay for a long time even when the durian is gone. Because of this, people must not take durians on buses or trains. Don’t Chew Gum (嚼口香糖) In Singapore, people can’t buy or sell chewing gum. This is because chewing gum is very sticky (黏糊糊的) and messy when people throw it away. To stop this problem, in 1992, Singapore decided to make a new law that said people mustn’t chew gum. Cross the Road Safely If you visit Singapore, be careful where you cross the road. Look for a pedestrian crossing—a safe place to cross. If there is one near, you must use it. You can’t cross the road in any other place. You can get a $50 fine if you do. In general, Singapore’s rules make it a clean and safe place. When everyone follows the rules, it makes the country a better place for everyone. Maybe Singapore can be a good example for other places around the world. 1. Which of the following is TRUE? A．You can’t eat durians in Singapore. B．You mustn’t chew gum in Singapore.

B 2. C 3. A 4. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了新加坡这个以严格规则著称的小国，包括不乱扔垃圾、禁止携带榴莲乘坐公共交通、禁止嚼口香糖以及安全过马路等规则，并指出这些规则使新加坡成为一个干净且安全的地方。 1. 第三段指出规则内容：“In Singapore, people can’t buy or sell chewing gum.”以及“people mustn’t chew gum”，这直接说明在新加坡禁止嚼口香糖。 2. 第四段对“pedestrian crossing”进行解释：“a safe place to cross”，意思是过马路的安全地方，即人行横道。 3. 最后一段中“When everyone follows the rules, it makes the country a better place for everyone.”，此处划线的“it”指的是前文的每个人都遵守规则的情况。 4. 第一段点明新加坡以严格规则著称，且这些规则让新加坡干净安全，后面分别介绍了新加坡的一些著名规则，最后一段总结新加坡的规则使它成为干净安全的地方。所以文章主旨是严格的规则使新加坡成为一个干净且安全的地方。 Passage 11 What kind of schools are beautiful? Is it the school with modern buildings, or with different colours? Colours help a lot at school—they can make the school look pretty. But do you know that colours can also change how students feel and learn? In the classroom, desks and chairs in different colours are good for students to study. Warm colours like red, orange and yellow can make students happy and full of energy (能量). For example, yellow is good for science classes because it helps students like science more. Red is great for PE classes—it makes students feel strong and active. A little orange on the wall can make the classroom feel warm and friendly. When students need to think a lot, cool colours are better. Blue, purple and green can help students feel quiet. Blue is great for the library. It helps students read better when they read books.

They have lots of lessons to learn. Some animals are born helpless but their mothers protect them. A newborn kangaroo is the size of a bee. It is only a few centimeters. She stays in her mother’s safe pouch. She doesn’t open her eyes for at least five months. A newborn monkey cannot walk. He is carried by his mother. Other baby animals can walk soon after they’re born. They learn to run with their mother when danger is near. A baby zebra (斑马) can run an hour after she is born. Some baby animals are born in a place that is safe. Other baby animals are born in the open. Baby wolves are born in large holes. A baby elephant is born on open, grassy land. Other elephants make a circle (圈) to protect her. Animals that drink their mothers’ milk are called mammals (哺乳动物). A mother bear’s milk is fatty and rich. Baby bears need lots of fat to keep warm in winter. They have milk for six months. Baby zebras drink milk for six months or more! As baby animals grow they need solid (固体的) food. Baby lions eat what their mother can catch. 1. Which baby animals don’t open their eyes for at least five months? A．Lions. B．Zebras. C．Kangaroos. D．Elephants. 2.

She doesn’t open her eyes for at least five months.”可知，新生袋鼠至少五个月不睁开眼睛。 2. 根据“A baby zebra (斑马) can run an hour after she is born.”可知，斑马宝宝出生一小时后能跑，但不能自己围成一圈保护自己，这是其他大象做的事。 3. 根据“She stays in her mother’s safe pouch.”以及袋鼠的常识可知，袋鼠妈妈身上有一个育儿袋，新生儿待在里面。因此“pouch”意为“袋子”。 4. 文章开篇“Animals grow up in different ways.”点明主旨，随后通过不同动物的例子进行说明。因此文章主要讲的是动物以不同的方式成长。 16 / 16乐思英语 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $考前特训 期中考 阅读理解 仿真模拟 考前特训（浙江专用） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 特 训 范 围 Unit 1 Animal friends Unit 2 No Rules, No Order Unit 3 Keep Fit Unit 4 Eat Well Passage 1 Do you want to keep thin and look good?

Passage 3 Staying up and waking up an hour or two late on the weekend can be bad for your sleep. It will make you meet the “social jet lag (社交时差)” and scientists now think it can be bad for your health. The results of the study show that the social jet lag has something to do with heart problems. The findings have nothing to do with the time of sleep and insomnia (失 眠). Dr Michael A．Grandner was in the study team. They got ideas from a study on sleep, healthy activities, the environment and so on. The results came from 984 people between 22 and 60 years old. “These results show that besides the sleeping time, sleeping on time plays an important part in our health,” said Sierra B．Forbush. According to Shelby Freedman Harris, the social jet lag isn’t a special thing. “It doesn’t have to be a sleep disorder (紊乱). It happens often and we know that people aren’t following the same sleep-wake time every day,” Ms.Harris  said. Staying up late on Friday and Saturday nights and sleeping for a long time on weekends can make our body clocks disordered. We often feel angry easily on Monday mornings because our bodies have difficulty getting used to the sleep time. “All of this happens because the inside body clock that rules our sleep and wake time is in disorder. Sometimes the jet lag of staying up past your usual bedtime is like the jet lag after travelling. You’re putting your body into a different time zone (时区) when you sleep late on weekends,” she said. 1. Why do people have the social jet lag? A．Because they are in poor health. B．Because they change their sleep habits. C．Because they go to a different time zone. D．Because they have poor sleep and bad feelings. 2. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．The social jet lag is bad for people’s health. B．Insomnia has nothing to do with people’s lives. C．Insomnia has something to do with the social jet lag. D．The social jet lag is good for people with heart problems. 3. What do Ms. Harris’s words show? A．The social jet lag is surely a sleep disorder. B．The social jet lag mainly means getting up much earlier than usual. C．Today’s people can’t stay away from the social jet lag at all. D．The social jet lag is becoming a usual problem. 4. Which of the following ideas may the writer agree with? A．Staying up and waking up late on the weekday can’t be bad for our sleep. B．Enough sleeping time and regular sleep are important for our health. C．The jet lag of staying up is always like the jet lag after a long trip. D．Scientists don’t clearly know how our body clocks make or break our health. Passage 4 ①The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty after playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful about what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. ②There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colours and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check, you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. ③Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee (国际奥委会) has limited (限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous (神经紧张的), have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be stopped from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them. ④So we should stay away from the energy drinks to keep healthy. 1.

C．What’s that in energy drinks? D．What’s the use of energy drinks? Passage 5 What do you think of exercise? Like food, it’s very important to people. Doctors say doing sports is good for people. Sports can help people to be healthy. Parents must tell their children to exercise often because exercise is very useful to them. Exercise makes children healthy. At the same time, it can help to make children clever. This helps them to be good at their subjects and do many things very well. ▲ You can walk, run, swim or ride a bike. Or you can play ball games like football, and tennis. Choose one of your favorite sports to exercise. When you take exercise, you need to know what you are doing. And don’t exercise too much at a time. Here are many places for you to exercise. You can play sports at your school, in your home or even at the gym. You can play sports at any safe place you like.

When you go ice climbing, you climb ice. A lot of people love ice climbing. Why? On the one hand, they can do it in many places. If people want to try something easy, they can climb glaciers (冰川) or small mountains. Those are very easy. On the other hand, some people don’t like easy sports. They want to try something stimulating. That is to say, they can enjoy the excitement in the sport. And they can find dangerous and fun places to go ice climbing, such as high mountains and frozen waterfalls (冰瀑布). ________ First, if you want to go ice climbing, you have to be healthy and strong. Second, you can do special exercise before you start. You can also take some ice climbing classes before you start. Last, don’t go ice climbing by yourself. You have to always go with some people.

Their speed and strength (力量) allowed them to travel far, making them very useful. Chinese people created (创造) many interesting sayings about horses that tell short stories or give advice. A Horse That Can Cover a Thousand Li in a Day This saying describes someone with great talent. Just as such a horse can run very far, talented people can do great things. Chinese parents often use this saying to encourage (鼓励) their children to work hard and follow their dreams.A Pawn (兵) in Front of the Horse This phrase means a loyal (忠诚的) helper who serves others. In old times, soldiers walked in front of their general’s (将军) horse to protect him. Today, it describes someone who helps others to reach their goals.Success Arrives with the Horse This is a popular saying meaning “Wish you success at once”. People say it to friends starting new businesses or taking important tests. In Chinese art, horses often appear in paintings and sculptures (雕塑). Artists love to draw horses running freely across grasslands, showing their power and beauty. The famous painter Xu Beihong was especially good at painting horses. The horses look so lifelike that they seem to jump off the paper! Today, horses are still special in China. The year of the horse in the Chinese zodiac (生肖) is considered lucky.

Do you have any ideas about the new rule—No backpacks in the classroom? Our school wants to carry out (执行) the rule next month. Here are the reasons. Students may bring something unhealthy and dangerous. They may take some junk food like chips. And some of them may bring something dangerous like knives (刀). To deal with (应对) these problems, the school makes the rule—No backpacks in the classroom. Students’ backpacks use much space in the classroom. Because of them, the classrooms are always crowded (拥挤的). If we don’t have backpacks, the classroom will not be crowded.   ▲  Some backpacks are big and heavy. If a student carries a heavy backpack, he or she may have problems in the back and shoulders (肩膀). With the rule, students can’t bring backpacks into classrooms. They need to keep them in lockers. Do students like this rule? “If I don’ t bring a backpack, it’s hard for me to take many things with my hands, such as books, a cup, a pencil bag and more,” Amelia says. “I will feel better if I don’t keep my backpack,” Nick says. “I’d like to keep my backpack because my locker is far from my classroom,” says Linda. 1.

Passage 9 Different schools have different rules. Some of these rules are unusual. Let’s take a look at some of them! In some parts of the US, students can ride horses to school. They have special places to tie (拴) up their horses and keep them safe. This is because riding horses is very common (常见的) in those places. In South Korea, students wear uniforms at school and outside school. This is to show discipline (纪律) even outside of class. You can see many students wearing the same uniforms. They often wait for the bus or walk together. In Germany, students have a rule to call their teachers. They use formal (正式的) titles like “Herr” or “Frau”. They do this to show respect for their teachers. It’s important for them to be polite and respectful to their teachers all the time. In Finland, students have a special rule. No matter what the weather is like, they always have outdoor playtime. Even if it’s raining or snowing, they go outside to play games in nature. This is because they believe playtime is important for learning and health. These unusual school rules show us how different countries have their different ways of doing things.

But these rules also mean that Singapore is a very clean and safe place. Here are some of Singapore’s most famous rules. Don’t Litter Singapore tries hard to keep the country clean. Everyone must throw their litter in a bin, not on the ground. If someone litters, they might have to pay a fine (罚款) of up to $1, 000! Don’t Take Durians on Public Transport Another interesting rule in Singapore is about a fruit called durian, Durians have a very strong smell, and many people really don’t like them. Also, the smell can stay for a long time even when the durian is gone. Because of this, people must not take durians on buses or trains. Don’t Chew Gum (嚼口香糖) In Singapore, people can’t buy or sell chewing gum. This is because chewing gum is very sticky (黏糊糊的) and messy when people throw it away. To stop this problem, in 1992, Singapore decided to make a new law that said people mustn’t chew gum. Cross the Road Safely If you visit Singapore, be careful where you cross the road. Look for a pedestrian crossing—a safe place to cross. If there is one near, you must use it. You can’t cross the road in any other place. You can get a $50 fine if you do. In general, Singapore’s rules make it a clean and safe place. When everyone follows the rules, it makes the country a better place for everyone.

Passage 11 What kind of schools are beautiful? Is it the school with modern buildings, or with different colours? Colours help a lot at school—they can make the school look pretty. But do you know that colours can also change how students feel and learn? In the classroom, desks and chairs in different colours are good for students to study. Warm colours like red, orange and yellow can make students happy and full of energy (能量). For example, yellow is good for science classes because it helps students like science more. Red is great for PE classes—it makes students feel strong and active. A little orange on the wall can make the classroom feel warm and friendly. When students need to think a lot, cool colours are better. Blue, purple and green can help students feel quiet. Blue is great for the library. It helps students read better when they read books. Green is good for art rooms—it brings a feeling of nature. Light purple in the music room can make students feel creative (有创造力的). Colours are like quiet helpers in our school.
