第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Most people who own iPhones use them as their alarm clocks―making it very easy to check emails one last time before falling asleep and hard to ever feel away from work and social networks.
Several years ago, my boss fainted due to exhaustion after staying up late to catch up on work. She banged her head and ended up with five stitches (缝针)―and became what she calls a “sleep evangelist (传教士).” Now she leaves her phone charging in another room when she goes to bed and encourages her friends to do the same.
“I sent all my friends the same Christmas gift―a lovely alarm clock―so they could stop using the excuse that they needed their very attractive iPhones by their beds to wake them up in the morning.” she said.
If your phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also be keeping you up at night. A 2008 study showed that people exposed to mobile radiation took longer to fall asleep and spent less time in deep sleep. “The study indicates that during laboratory exposure to 884 MHz wireless signals, components of sleep believed to be important for recovery from daily wear and tear are severely affected,” the study concluded.
A quarter of young people feel like they must be available by phone around the clock, according to a Swedish study that linked heavy cellphone use to sleeping problems, stress and depression. Unreturned messages carry more guilt when the technology to deal with them lies at our fingertips. Some teens even return text messages at midnight.
Most of us choose not to set limits on our nighttime availability. Nearly three quarters of people from the age of 18 to 44 sleep with their phones within reach, according to a 2012 Time poll. That number falls off slightly in middle age, but only people aged 65 and older are leaving the phone in another room as common as sleeping right next to it.
1、Why did the author’s boss start to enjoy sleeping?
A．Her friends encouraged her to sleep on time.
B．Mobile phones couldn’t wake her up on time.
C．Her friends sent her a lovely clock to wake her up.
D．She got hurt due to working too late.
2、Why did the author’s boss give her friends alarm clocks as Christmas gifts?
A．Alarm clocks don’t give off any radiation.
B．Alarm clocks are better at waking her friends up.
C．She advised them to replace phones with alarm clocks.
D．She used alarm clocks to remind them not to work too late.
3、What can we learn from the 2008 study?
A．Mobile radiation makes people unable to fall asleep.
B．Mobile phones can release 884 MHz wired signals.
C．Sleep can help people fight against radiation.
D．Components of sleep can be seriously affected by wireless signals.
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．How Mobile Phones Affect Sleep
B．Why Alarm Clocks Are Better than Phones
C．How we can sleep better at night
D．How Mobile Phones Affect Health

B
US scientists say they have poured cold water on the theory that washing hands with hot water kills more germs (细菌) than unheated water. The small study of 20 people found using water at 15℃ (59F) left hands as clean as water heated to 38℃ (100F).
National Health Service (NHS) recommends that people wash their hands in either cold or warm water. In this study, scientists at Rutgers University — New Brunswick wanted to find out if popular assumptions about the benefits of warm or hot water and official guidance on hot water — given to the food industry in the US — held true. They asked 20 people to wash their hands 20 times each with water that was 15℃ (59F), 26℃ (79F) or 38 degrees (100F). Volunteers were also asked to experiment with varying amounts of soap. Before they started the tests, their hands were covered in harmless bugs. Researchers say there was no difference in the amount of bugs removed as the temperature of the water or the amount of soap changed.
Prof Donald Schaffner said, “People need to feel comfortable when they are washing their hands but as far as effectiveness goes, this study shows us that the temperature of the water used did not matter.”
However, the researchers accept their study is small and say more extensive work is needed to determine the best ways to remove harmful bacteria.
In the UK, NHS experts say people can use cold or hot water to wash their hands. They say hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds and stress the importance of using enough soap to cover the whole surface of the hands. Their guidance focuses on rubbing hands together in various ways to make sure each surface of each hand is clean.
1、What does the underlined phrase “poured cold water” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Proved.
B．Contradicted.
C．Created.
D．Accepted.
2、After they washed their hands with either hot or cold water, _______.
A．volunteers all didn't feel very comfortable
B．volunteers all talked about American food industry
C．volunteers still had much germ on their hands
D．volunteers nearly had the same amount of germ removed
3、How do researchers feel about their study?
A．It is popular.
B．It is convincing.
C．It is incomplete.
D．It is abstract.
4、Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Using Cold Water Instead of Hot Water
B．How to Use Cold Water to Wash Hands
C．It’s Better to Wash Hands in Cold Water
D．Washing Hands in Cold Water as Good as in Hot Water

He smiled. “Coming up the stairs, you will notice how not just light but sun 15 into the tower through the narrow windows here and there, so that you can feel the 16 —the cool stairs suddenly become quite warm—and how up here behind the wall there is 17 , but as soon as going opposite a window you can find the sun.

Last summer vacation was my most pleasant one. My parents and I had made at our to Xi’an. Instead of having a travel agency arranging our transportation and accommodation, we booked the train tickets and hotel rooms on the Internet by us. During our tour in Xi’an, we went to many places of interests and took lots of photos, learned about the history of Xi’an. No tourists would miss the local food in Xi’an, so would we. We enjoyed the typical local food, it tasted more delicious than we had expected. Hardly had I returned than I shared the photos and experiences for my classmates. The trip to Xi’an has been such happy memory to me that I will never forget it.
