III. Reading
(A)
Do you feel a little sleepy after lunch? Well, that’s normal. Your body naturally slows down then. What should you do
about it? Don’t reach for a coffee! Instead, take a nap.
There are many benefits (好处) of a daily nap. First of all, you are more efficient (有效率) after napping. You remember
things better and make fewer mistakes. Also, you can learn things more easily after taking a nap. A 20-minute nap can
reduce information overload. It can also reduce stress. Finally, a nap may increase your self-confidence and make you
more alert (灵活). It may even cheer you up.
But, there are some simple rules you should follow about taking a nap. First, take a nap in the middle of the day, about
eight hours after you wake up. Otherwise, you may disturb your sleep-wake pattern. Next, a 20-minute nap is best. If you
sleep longer, you may fall into a deep sleep. After waking from a deep sleep, you will feel worse. Also, you should set an
alarm clock. That way, you can fully relax during your nap. You won’t have to keep looking at the clock so that you
don’t oversleep.
Now, the next time you feel sleepy after lunch, don’t get stressed. Put your head down, close your eyes, and have forty
winks.
36. What is a good rule for taking a nap?
A. Use an alarm clock. B. Nap eight hours after waking up. C. Sleep for about half an hour. D. All of the above
37. According to the passage, what is NOT a benefit of napping?
A. It makes you stronger B. It makes you feel happier C. It gives you more self-confidence D. It improves your memory
38. Which may happen if an alarm clock is not used?
A. You may relax more. B. You may feel too nervous to relax.
C. You may forget an important meeting. D. You may not reduce your napping time.
39. In the last paragraph, “have forty winks” can be replaced by “________”.
A. do eye-protection exercises B. close your eyes for forty times
C. have a short sleep during the daytime D. pretend to have a quick nap after lunch
(B)
Do you think animals can predict (预报) the weather or other natural events? Farmers living in the countryside
think so. For hundreds of years, they have observed animals. They think animals’ behavior (行为) can be connected to
future weather conditions or events. For example, if swans fly into the wind, a hurricane is coming. Or, if cows lie down,
a rainstorm is coming. There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events. Many people think that
these stories are just folklore, traditional stories and beliefs without scientific evidence (证据). Scientists, however, are
beginning to take another look at some of these ideas.
Kiyoshi Shimamura is a Japanese earthquake researcher. He noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before
earthquakes hit. Then, he did an investigation (调查) of twelve public health centers in Kobe, Japan. These health centers
treated people after the 1995 earthquake. He noticed some interesting information about the month before the big
earthquake. Treatment for animal bites had increased. In fact, aggressive (冒犯的；侵略的) behavior in dogs, such as
biting and barking loudly, jumped (猛增) 60 percent!
People noticed other changes in animal behavior before the earthquake as well. For example, fish began swimming
together in large groups, only in the middle of the water and not near the edges. Also, birds flew away from their nests
for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected. The animal behavior suggests that animals may be able to predict natural
events better than people.
40. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. What animals do during earthquakes B. Many earthquakes of Japan
C. Effect (影响) of natural events on animals’ actions D. Folklore and other stories about animals
41. How do dogs begin to behave just before an earthquake?
A. They lie down in grass. B. They stay together in large groups.C. They leave their homes. D. They hurt people.
42. What other animals behave strangely before an earthquake?
A. Pigs B. Birds C. Cows D. All of the above
43. What did Kiyoshi Shimamura look at during his investigation?
A. Animal clinics treating dogs B. The number of patients with bites
C. The number of earthquakes a year D. Places dogs go during earthquakes
