are really two kinds of sleep：good sleep or bad sleep.As college students，we should take our sleeping quite seriously.Sure，we can have a good nights sleep，but then exams roll in and we have to kick studying into high gear.This kick causes us to sleep less and doze off more.It is a nice feeling every once in a while to doze off while studying or in class，but think about the consequences.Your teachers become angry with you，or your grades can suffer because of a bad test grade.So you try to keep yourself up when you feel that a doze moves slowly to you.Stress can also cause sleep deprivation.We stress over grades，family problems，relationships，and so on.It seems hard for us to get rid of stress，but there is a simple solution to help prevent stress：naps.Im sure everyone on the planet knows that a nap can be an excellent refresher.So next time you feel stressed just take a nap after class or after lunch.Even though stress is a big reason why people have a hard time falling asleep，there is an even bigger reason.Technology is most likely the major reason why people have trouble falling asleep.We call，text，email，or do some other things at night；Im guilty of watching TV before I fall asleep.Even while we are sleeping，our phones can ring and interrupt a good nights sleep.However，some people can sleep so deeply that the phone doesnt even bother them.Although this may be the case，Im sure a lot of people would actually answer the phone and immediately fall back asleep.There are many reasons why we have bad sleep，but actually its up to us to solve the problem to sleep well.The eight hours of sleep can actually make a difference every day.36What can we learn from the passage?ANaps will reduce peoples stress.BAll students are facing sleeping problems.CFamily problems have caused sleep disorder.DSleeping makes people more stressed.37Why do the college students sleep less and doze off more?ABecause they take their sleeping quite seriously.BBecause they have to devote their time to study.CBecause they like to doze off while studying in class.DBecause they play computer games at night.38We can know from the third paragraph that _.Athere is no effective solution to getting rid of stressBtechnology causes people to sleep lessCpeople prefer watching TV to having a sleepDthe author sleeps like a log in most cases39It can be concluded from the passage that _.Awatching TV is mainly responsible for less sleepBit is better to refuse to answer the phone at nightCwe can decide whether we can sleep wellDgetting more sleep a day is the best solutionBFish have different personalities which change as they experience lifes highs and lows，according to British biologists.Researchers identified different“personalities” in their fish by observing the boldness or shyness of individuals，according to The Nature.Like people，some fish are very confident in the face of novelty(新颖事物)or conflict，while others are silent and fearful.The scientists selected particularly bold and shy rainbow trout，and tested whether they changed their outlook depending on what life threw at them.They arranged some fish to fight and others to watch to see how both the participants and observers responded to victories and defeats.Winning or losing a fight，or even watching fellow fish overcome the difficulties influenced the future behavior of the creatures studied in the lab.The researchers made fish compete with much larger or smaller opponents，to ensure that they would win or lose their fights.These bold fish that won their fights tended to be even bolder when later presented with a novel food item；losing their fights caused them to be much more cautious.Fish also learn by watching others.Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery object were much more nervous when later given a novelty item for themselves.Predictably，shy fish that won a fight also gained more confidence，but surprisingly，shy fish that lost their fights also grew bolder when exploring strange new food，Sneddon said，adding that this could be due to what she calls the “desperado effect”(亡命之徒效应)The new research suggests that animals can gradually adapt their personalities.The results echo the effects that life experience can have on human.40What does the underlined word“creatures” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?AFish.BParticipants.CObservers. DResearchers.41The third paragraph of the text is mainly about _.Aa conclusion of the researchBan explanation of fish charactersCa statement of the experimentDa description of fish fights42What can we know from the research?ABold losing fish become bolder when presented with a novel food item.BLosing their fights causes the bold fish to be much more courageous.CBold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery get less nervous.DShy fish losing fights grow more confident in exploring new food.43Whats the main idea of the text?AFish have stress in the fierce fights.BFish care about winning or losing a fight.CFish have adaptable personalities.DFish can learn a lot by watching others.CHandball is a hugely popular sport in Europe and Asia，and it is one of the fastest and most exciting sports in the world.It combines basketball and soccer with the attracting saves of water polo.Handball is played on an indoor court ( the size of two basketball courts ) and there are goals at each end.There are twelve players on each team，two goalkeepers and ten field players，but there is a maximum of one goalkeeper and six field players from each team allowed on the court at any one time.The_idea_is_simple:_score more goals than the other team.The ball is made of leather or a synthetic material and it must be round.The surface must not be shiny or slippery.The size and weight of the ball varies for male and female teams，and adult and junior teams.Handball has the same freeranging play as basketball，with all players except the goalkeeper constantly moving from attack to defence.The goalkeeper uses hands，feet，head and body to keep out the other teams shots.The origins of handball are unclear.Many people believe that it developed as a training game for soccer，to be played in the off season，or when it was snowing.Now，in countries where handball is popular，players can earn large sums of money，and indoor stadiums seating over ten thousand people sell out regularly.Handball has been played at the Olympics since 1972.44The passage states that handball was most probably developed _.Aas an alternative to basketballBby supporters of water poloCas a training routineDfor the 1972 Olympics45The statement，“The idea is simple”(Para.2)，emphasizes that in handball _.Athe game has only one purposeBthe court is clearly markedCthe players can change positionsDthe goalkeeper is the last defence46It is clear that the writer believes the sport of handball _.Ais more popular for men than for womenBis great fun for the audienceCrequires an unusually shaped ballDshould only be played in winter47In which order does the information appear in the passage?atype of ball Bcourt sizecbeginning of the sport Dteam membersAcabd BbadcCcdab DbdacDAustralia is a nation occupying the whole of the Australian continent；aboriginal tribes are thought to have migrated from southeastern Asia 20,000 years ago；first Europeans were British convicts sent there as a penal colony.Australia，the last continent，was discovered by ships belonging to some European nations in the seventeenth century，these nations were less interested in changing it into a colony than in exploring it.As in the early history of the United States，it was the English who set up the settlements in Australia.This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well.Australia and the United States are about the same in size and their western lands are both not rich in soil.It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled，and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west.However，this westward movement took place more because the English were searching for better land and because the population was increasing.Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common，there are some striking differences as well.The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war.Australia，unlike the United States，was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising.By 1922，for example，Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people or almost half as many sheep as there people today in the United States.Yet，in spite of these and other main differences，Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.48Who turned Australia into a colony?ABritain.BSeveral European countries.CThe United States.DNone of the above.49In t
