Studies show that teenagers need about eight to ten hours of sleep each night. However, surveys find that nearly seventy percent of high school students sleep less than seven hours on school nights. Lack of sleep can lead to many problems. First, it affects students' ability to learn. When a person does not sleep enough, the brain has a harder time paying attention and remembering information. Students who often stay up late tend to get lower grades than those who keep a regular sleep schedule. Second, poor sleep can make people feel more stressed and unhappy, which increases the risk of mental health problems. Third, not sleeping enough weakens the body's immune system, making it easier to catch colds and other illnesses. Why are teenagers not sleeping enough? There are several reasons. Many students have too much homework and stay up late to finish it. Others spend hours on their phones or computers before bed, and the blue light from screens can trick the brain into thinking it is still daytime. Some teenagers also drink coffee, tea, or energy drinks in the evening, which makes it harder to fall asleep. To improve sleep, experts suggest going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends. It is also helpful to turn off electronic devices at least thirty minutes before bedtime and avoid drinks with caffeine in the afternoon and evening. A quiet, dark, and comfortable bedroom environment also matters a lot. 1. How many hours of sleep do teenagers need each night according to studies? A. Six to seven hours. B. Five to six hours. C. Eight to ten hours. D. Ten to twelve hours. 2. According to the passage, which is NOT a result of sleep shortage? A. Getting lower grades. B. Gaining more weight. C. Feeling more stressed. D. Catching colds more easily. 3. Why does using phones before bed affect sleep? A. Blue light from screens tricks the brain into thinking it is daytime. B. Phone calls at night wake people up. C. The phone takes up too much space in bed. D. Text messages are too exciting to ignore. 4. What do experts suggest to improve sleep? A. Drinking a cup of warm coffee before bed. B. Doing more homework in the evening. C. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. D. Keeping the bedroom bright and warm. 5. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Students should drink more coffee to stay awake. B. Sleeping too much is bad for health. C. Smartphones are the only reason for poor sleep. D. Teenagers need enough sleep and there are ways to improve it. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. C 5.

Every year, about 300 million tons of plastic are produced globally, and a large part of it ends up in the ocean. Scientists say that by 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea. This is not only harmful to marine animals but also dangerous to human health, as tiny plastic pieces have been found in the food we eat and the water we drink. So what can we do to reduce plastic waste? The first and most effective step is to use less single-use plastic in our daily lives. Simple actions like carrying a reusable water bottle, bringing a cloth bag when shopping, and saying no to plastic straws can make a big difference. Many countries have already banned free plastic bags in supermarkets, and this has cut plastic bag use by as much as eighty percent in some areas. Recycling is another important solution, but it is not enough by itself. Only about nine percent of all plastic ever made has been recycled. The rest is either burned, buried in landfills, or left in the natural environment. Better recycling technology and systems are needed to deal with the huge amount of plastic waste that already exists. Businesses also have a role to play. Many companies are now developing new materials that can break down naturally, such as corn starch bags and bamboo toothbrushes. If we all work together—individuals, companies, and governments—we can create a cleaner world with less plastic waste. 6. What does the passage say could happen by 2050? A. All fish in the ocean will disappear. B. Plastic production will be stopped. C. There could be more plastic than fish in the sea. D. The ocean will become completely clean. 7. What is the most effective way to reduce plastic waste according to the passage? A. Using less single-use plastic in daily life. B. Burning all the plastic waste. C. Throwing plastic into the ocean. D. Buying more plastic products. 8. What percentage of all plastic has been recycled? A. About fifty percent. B. About nine percent. C. About eighty percent. D. About one hundred percent. 9. What are some companies doing to help solve the plastic problem? A. Producing more single-use plastic bags. B. Stopping all recycling programs. C. Throwing waste into the ocean. D. Developing new materials that can break down naturally. 10. What is the writer's attitude toward solving the plastic problem? A. Hopeless B. Hopeful C. Angry D. Uninterested 【答案】6. C 7. A 8. B 9. D 10. B 【导语】本文是一篇关于塑料污染的说明文，介绍了塑料危害和减少塑料的方法。 【详解】 6. 句意：短文说到2050年可能会发生什么？考查细节。文中第一段写道"by 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea"（到2050年，海洋里的塑料可能比鱼还多）。There could be more plastic than fish in the sea.（海洋里塑料比鱼还多）正确；All fish in the ocean will disappear.（所有鱼消失）太过绝对；Plastic production will be stopped.（塑料生产停止）和The ocean will become completely clean.（海洋完全干净）原文未提及。故选C。 7. 句意：根据短文，减少塑料最有效的方法是什么？考查细节。文中第二段写道"The first and most effective step is to use less single-use plastic in our daily lives"（第一步也是最有效的一步是减少日常生活中一次性塑料的使用）。Using less single-use plastic in daily life.（减少一次性塑料使用）正确；Burning all the plastic waste.（焚烧塑料）只是处理方式之一；Throwing plastic into the ocean.（丢进海洋）加剧污染；Buying more plastic products.（买更多塑料产品）与主旨相反。故选A。 8. 句意：所有塑料中有多少被回收利用了？考查细节。文中第三段写道"Only about nine percent of all plastic ever made has been recycled"（制造出的所有塑料中只有约9%被回收）。About nine percent.（约9%）正确；About fifty percent.（约50%）、About eighty percent.（约80%）和About one hundred percent.（约100%）均与原文不符。故选B。 9. 句意：一些公司在做什么来帮助解决塑料问题？考查细节。文中最后一段写道"Many companies are now developing new materials that can break down naturally, such as corn starch bags and bamboo toothbrushes"（很多公司正在研发能自然降解的新材料）。Developing new materials that can break down naturally.（研发可自然降解的新材料）正确；Producing more single-use plastic bags.（生产更多塑料袋）与主旨相反；Stopping all recycling programs.（停止回收）和Throwing waste into the ocean.（丢进海洋）均与解决方案相反。故选D。 10. 句意：作者对解决塑料问题持什么态度？考查作者态度。文中最后一句写道"If we all work together...we can create a cleaner world with less plastic waste"（如果我们共同努力，就能创造更干净的世界）。Hopeful（充满希望）正确；Hopeless（没希望）、Angry（生气）和Uninterested（不感兴趣）均与作者积极的态度不符。故选B。 C Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and China is its birthplace. According to Chinese legend, tea was first discovered by Shen Nong, an ancient Chinese emperor, about 5,000 years ago. He was boiling water when some leaves from a wild tea tree fell into his pot, and the pleasant smell made him curious to taste it. Over thousands of years, tea drinking developed from a simple habit into a rich cultural tradition in China. During the Tang Dynasty (618—907), tea became widely popular across the country. It was during this time that Lu Yu wrote "The Classic of Tea," the world's first book about tea. This book recorded everything about tea at that time: how to grow it, how to make it, and how to enjoy it. There are several main types of Chinese tea, including green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, and Pu'er tea. Each type goes through a different process of making and has its own special taste and health benefits. For example, green tea is unfermented and helps to refresh the mind, while Pu'er tea is fermented and is believed to help with digestion. In traditional Chinese medicine, tea has long been seen as something that is good for health. Today, tea is still an important part of Chinese daily life. People drink tea at home, at work, in tea houses, and during social gatherings. Serving tea to guests is a sign of respect and welcome. Many Chinese families also enjoy the tradition of "gongfu tea," a special way of making and drinking tea that focuses on the art and beauty of the tea-making process. 11. According to the legend, who first discovered tea? A. Lu Yu. B. Shen Nong. C. A Tang Dynasty emperor. D. A tea farmer from Fujian. 12. What did Lu Yu do that was important for tea culture? A. He discovered tea for the first time. B. He invented gongfu tea. C. He brought tea from India to China. D. He wrote the world's first book about tea. 13. What is the difference between green tea and Pu'er tea? A. Green tea is fermented, while Pu'er is unfermented. B. Green tea is black, while Pu'er is green. C. Green tea is unfermented, while Pu'er is fermented. D. Green tea helps digestion, while Pu'er refreshes the mind. 14. According to the passage, what does serving tea mean in Chinese culture? A. A way to show off wealth. B. A sign of respect and welcome. C. A daily task for children. D. A business negotiation tool only. 15. What is gongfu tea about according to the passage? A.

Every day, millions of people fall victim to online scams, identity theft, and other cyber dangers. By learning some basic safety rules, you can protect yourself and your personal information while enjoying the benefits of the online world. First, create strong passwords for all your online accounts. A good password should be at least eight characters long and include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Never use easily guessed information like your birthday or your pet's name. It is also important to use different passwords for different accounts. If one account is broken into, your other accounts will still be safe. Many experts suggest using a password manager to help remember all your passwords securely. Second, be careful about what personal information you share online. Never post your full address, phone number, or bank account details on social media or other public websites. Cyber criminals often search the Internet for this kind of information to commit fraud. When shopping online, make sure the website address starts with "https://" and has a small lock symbol, which means the connection is secure. Third, learn to recognize common online tricks. If you receive an email or message that asks you to click a link and provide personal information, be very careful. Banks and other real companies will never ask for your password or bank details through email. If something seems too good to be true—like winning a prize in a competition you never entered—it probably is not true. 16. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of online safety. B. To give examples of online scams. C. To explain how to create passwords. D. To warn people not to use the Internet. 17. Which of the following is a good password practice? A. Using only numbers that are easy to remember. B. Using a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. C. Using your birthday as the password. D. Using the same password for all accounts. 18. What does the lock symbol on a website mean? A. The website is selling locks. B. You have a new message. C. The website is old. D. The connection is secure. 19. What should you do if an email asks for your bank password? A. Be very careful B. Reply with your password immediately. C. Click the link in the email to check. D. Forward the email to all your friends. 20. What does the last sentence of the passage suggest? A. Everyone should enter online competitions to win prizes. B. All emails from strangers are safe to open. C. If an online offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is not true. D. Winning prizes online is always real. 【答案】16. A 17. B 18. D 19. A 20. C 【导语】本文是一篇关于网络安全的说明文，介绍了密码安全、个人信息保护和识别网络诈骗三个方面。 16. 句意：第一段的主要目的是什么？考查段落功能。第一段指出互联网存在风险，但通过学习安全规则可以保护自己，起引入主题的作用。To introduce the topic of online safety.（引入网络安全话题）正确；To give examples of online scams.（给出诈骗例子）是后文内容；To explain how to create passwords.（解释创建密码）是第二段内容；To warn people not to use the Internet.（警告别用网络）与原文相反。故选A。 17. 句意：以下哪一项是好的密码习惯？考查细节判断。文中第二段写道"A good password should be at least eight characters long and include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols"（好密码应至少8位，包含字母、数字和符号）。Using a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.（字母数字符号混合）正确；Using only numbers that are easy to remember.（只用数字）不够安全；Using your birthday as the password.（用生日做密码）原文明确说不要这样做；Using the same password for all accounts.（所有账户用同一密码）原文反对。故选B。 18. 句意：网站上的锁图标意味着什么？考查细节。文中第三段写道"the website address starts with 'https://' and has a small lock symbol, which means the connection is secure"（地址以https://开头且有小锁图标，表示连接是安全的）。The connection is secure.（连接是安全的）正确；The website is selling locks.（网站在卖锁）望文生义；You have a new message.（有新消息）和The website is old.（网站很老旧）原文未提及。故选D。 19. 句意：如果一封邮件要求你提供银行密码，你应该怎么做？考查细节推理。文中第四段写道"Banks and other real companies will never ask for your password or bank details through email"（银行和真正的公司从不会通过邮件索要密码或银行信息）。Be very careful（要小心）正确；Reply with your password immediately.（立即回复密码）非常危险；Click the link in the email to check.（点击链接）可能是诈骗；Forward the email to all your friends.（转发给朋友）会传播诈骗。故选A。 20. 句意：短文最后一句暗示了什么？考查句意推理。文中最后一句写道"If something seems too good to be true...it probably is not true"（如果某事看起来好得不像真的，那它可能就不是真的）。If an online offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is not true.（好得不像真的提议往往不是真的）正确；Everyone should enter online competitions to win prizes.（所有人应该参加竞赛）原文未提；All emails from strangers are safe to open.（陌生人邮件都安全）与原文相反；Winning prizes online is always real.（网上中奖总是真的）不符合原文。故选C。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 编写说明：本卷依据最新版《湖北省普通高等学校招收中等职业学校毕业生技能高考文化综合考试大纲（英语）》编写。本系列定位为45分钟训练卷，用于课堂限时训练、周测检测和阶段复习。本卷为说明文阅读专项训练，选材涵盖健康、环境、文化和科技等话题，旨在提升事实信息获取、因果分析和逻辑推理能力。 【2027版】湖北省（技能高考）《英语45分钟训练卷》 第8卷 阅读理解（说明文） 考试时间：45分钟 满分：100分 班级______姓名______学号______成绩______ 阅读理解（共四篇，每篇5小题，每小题5分，满分100分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A Sleep is one of the most important things for a teenager's health, yet many young people are not getting enough of it.
