Question

9．High school in the United States starts too early．Given teenagers'sleep patterns，the ideal school start time could be as late as 11：30 a．m．-when many high school students have already finished half a school day and are eating lunch．
Researchers from Harvard and Oxford wrote about this new finding in a recent article in the journal Learning，Media，and Technology．In the article，Paul Kelley argued that，given when kids and teenagers are biologically conditioned to wake up，10-year-olds should start school at 8 a．m．，16-year-olds should start between 10 a．m．a(chǎn)nd 10：30 a．m．，and 18-year-olds should start between 11 a．m．a(chǎn)nd 11：30 a．m．
There's been lots of research done on sleep and performance in school-but this article argues that school should start even later than most proposals for a later start time call for．Teens aren't lazy-adults need to adjust．This isn't laziness-sleep patterns are a biological necessity．Reviewi ng evidence from studies around the world，the researchers argue that starting school later would help students learn more，perform better on tests，and even make teenagers less annoyed．When the Minneapolis Public Schools moved their start time from 7：15 a．m．to 8：40 a．m．，students liked the change and reported that"attendance，achievement，behavior，and mood improved．"
Parents were positive，too.92 percent said they liked the change，and parents reported that their kids were easier to live with when they weren't getting up so early．At the US Air Force Academy，where students were randomly assigned（分配；指派）to classes with earlier and later start times，students who started earlier performed worse all day long on those days．
The researchers argue that this is partly cultural，and that getting up early is still seen as a virtue．That's wrong，They write："A common belief is that adolescents are tired because they choose to stay up too late，or are difficult to wake in the morning because they are lazy．Educators tend to think that adolescents learn best in the morning and if they simply went to sleep earlier，it would improve their concentration．The truth is that adults need to be educated．"

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，主要討論的是高中學(xué)校的上課時間太早使學(xué)生得不到足夠的睡眠、學(xué)校表現(xiàn)差；因此研究者建議要推遲上課的時間并且其根源還是要早睡．

解答 61-65．ABDCD
61題答案：A考查主旨大意，本文主要討論的是高中學(xué)校的上課時間太早使學(xué)生得不到足夠的睡眠、學(xué)校表現(xiàn)差；因此研究者建議要推遲上課的時間．故本題答案為A選項．
62題答案：B考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章第二段的In the article，Paul Kelley argued that，given when kids and teenagers are biologically conditioned to wake up，10-year-olds should start school at 8 a．m．，16-year-olds should start between 10 a．m．a(chǎn)nd 10：30 a．m．，and 18-year-olds should start between 11 a．m．a(chǎn)nd 11：30 a．m．在該文章中，Paul Kelley辯論考慮到孩子和青少年生理上適合醒來的時間，十歲的孩子應(yīng)該8點上課，十六歲的應(yīng)該在十點和十點半之間上課，18歲的應(yīng)該在十一點和十一點半開始上課．可知本題答案為B選項．
63題答案：D考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)第三段的…starting school later would help students learn more，perform better on tests，and even make teenagers less annoyed．（上學(xué)晚點會幫助學(xué)生學(xué)得更多、考試表現(xiàn)更好、甚至使青少年不那么不開心）．可知D選項并未提及（根據(jù)常識也知道D選項錯誤），故本題答案為D選項．
64題答案：C考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的Parents were positive，too.92 percent said they liked the change，and parents reported that their kids were easier to live with when they weren't getting up so early．父母是積極的，92%的家長說他們喜歡改變，而且父母說他們的孩子起床不這么早后更容易相處了．可知本題答案為C選項．
65題答案：D考查細(xì)節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的…students who started earlier performed worse all day long on those days．上學(xué)時間更早的學(xué)生在那些日子里（試驗的日子里）整天都表現(xiàn)更差．可知為了表現(xiàn)良好，需要培養(yǎng)良好的早睡習(xí)慣；故本題答案為D選項．

點評 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對 性找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案．
