Ⅲ.阅读理解
A

Health officials have begun a campaign to urge children to get enough sleep. The officials say children need at least nine hours of sleep every night. They say research shows that children who get this much sleep perform better in school, suffer fewer accidents and are less likely to become too fat.
Studies show that lack of sleep causes tiredness and problems with clear thinking. People who do not get enough sleep become angry easily and have trouble controlling their emotions.
Among children, problems that result from lack of sleep often are mistaken for more serious disorders. Unlike adults, tired children seem to have endless energy. Some doctors mistakenly identify this as hyperactivity(活动过度)．
Experts say many American teenagers are not getting enough sleep. Teenagers stay up late for several reasons, including schoolwork, after­school activities and late­night fun. Many high school students in the United States start school very early in the morning.
Four years ago, education officials in Minneapolis, Minnesota changed the starting time of seven high schools. The officials delayed the starting time by almost ninety minutes.
A University of Minnesota study found that attendance at the high schools improved after the starting time was changed.However, the later start did not greatly affect the performance of the students. Still, school systems in other parts of the country are discussing later starting times for high school students.
The American Academy of Pediatrics(儿科学) represents doctors who treat children. It notes that many sleep disorders first develop in childhood. It says doctors often do not identify the disorder until years later.
The group has agreed to join in a study with the National Centre on Sleep Disorders Research. During the next five years, they plan to examine sleep problems in very young and older children. They also will develop guides for doctors to use when testing for sleep problems. And they will provide educational materials about the importance of healthy sleep.
1．The passage is primarily concerned with ________.
A．the amount of children's sleep
B. children's health problem
C. children's hyperactivity
D. serious children's disorder
答案与解析　A　主旨大意题。整篇文章就是在争辩孩子的睡眠问题。
2．What is NOT the problem caused to children if they can't get enough sleep?
A．They may get tired easily.
B. They can't think clearly.
C. They are easy to become angry.
D. They are ready to get hyperactive.
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。文中第三段讲到，孩子睡眠不足，简洁误诊为活动过度，故可知选D项。
3．What is the main difficulty to deal with the problem of children's lack of sleep?
A．There is too much homework to complete after school.
B. Many children take part in too many activities after school.
C. Children play fun into deep night.
D. Doctors usually can't identify this disorder easily.
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。此话题在第三段和第七段都有提到

B
Starbucks, the world's largest chain of coffee shops, has unveiled (推出) a new logo which it says indicates its plan to move beyond its core product.
The US giant's new logo removes the words “STARBUCKS” and “COFFEE”， leaving just the firm's white on green image of a twin­tailed mermaid (美人鱼). Starbucks said that in the future “it's possible we'll have other products with our name on it and no coffee in it”．
However, some brand experts have criticized the move. “I think it's nuts，” said James Gregory, chief executive of brand consulting firm CoreBrand. “What's it going to be — the coffee formerly known as Starbucks？”
Starbucks is already moving ahead with plans to extend its product range, and now also sells ice cream. It is also considering selling beer and wine at some US outlets.
Starbucks' chief executive Howard Schultz said, “What is really important here is a changing refinement (改进) of the logo, which is a mirror image of the strategy. This is not just, let's wake up one day and change our logo.”
Starbucks has turned around its fortunes since 2008, when over­expansion resulted in falling sales. Its profits for the first three quarters of 2010 were more than double those in 2009.
This is the first time that Starbucks has changed its logo since it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1992.
语篇解读　全球最大的咖啡连锁店“星巴克”更换了使用多年的商标，推出了新商标。新的商标图案去掉了原来的“STARBUCKS”和“COFFEE”字样，只保留了美人鱼图案。
5．Which of the following is the new logo of Starbucks?
A. B.
C. D.
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。由其次段可知，新的商标图案上去掉了原来的“STARBUCKS”和“COFFEE”字样，只保留了美人鱼图案，故D项正确。
6．What's Howard Schultz's attitude towards Starbucks' new logo?
A．Doubtful. B. Uninterested.
C. Positive. D. Negative.
答案与解析　C　推理推断题。依据倒数第三段Howard Schultz的讲话，尤其是其中的a changing refinement of the logo和a mirror image of the strategy可推知，他对新商标持乐观的态度，故C项正确。
7．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Starbucks has begun to sell beer in America.
B. Starbucks' business was bad in 2008.
C. Starbucks changed its logo to attract customers' attention.
D. This is the first time Starbucks has changed its logo in history.
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。依据倒数其次段可知，“星巴克”公司由于过度扩张，在2008年时经营状况处于低谷，故B项正确。由第四段可知，“星巴克”公司正在考虑销售啤酒，故A项错误；由其次段和最终一段可知，“星巴克”公司修改商标的主要目的是拓展产品经营范围，这是其在纽约证券交易所上市以来第一次修改商标，而非历史上首次，故排解C、D两项。
8．What's the passage mainly about?
A．Starbucks announced a new logo.
B. Starbucks aimed for new products.
C. Starbucks' new logo is well received.
D. Starbucks is becoming more successful.
答案与解析　A　主旨大意题。本文的主要内容是：全球最大的咖啡连锁店“星巴克”推出了新商标。
