科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2016屆四川省高三12月月考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I hardly went to bed before midnight, and I would always get up late the next morning.

But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity was always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy was wrong. The most common wrong strategy is this: supposing you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.

There are two main schools of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at fixed hours, you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough. You’re wasting time lying in bed awake.

My solution is to combine both methods. I go to bed when I’m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but I go to bed at different times every night.

However, going to bed only when I’m sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are my ways. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.

1.Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?

A. Because he / she found that the productivity was higher.

B. Because he / she wanted to do morning exercise.

C. Because he / she wanted to test which school is better.

D. Because he / she wanted to have more sleep time.

2.The author experienced all the following EXCEPT ________.

A. going to bed after midnight

B. asking scholars for advice on sleeping habits

C. getting up early occasionally

D. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping

3.According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to ___________.

A. People who stays up late until the next morning

B. People who feel sleepy in the morning

C. People who get up early in the morning

D. People whose productivity is the highest in the morning

4.The passage is mainly about ________.

A. main schools of thought on sleep patterns

B. how to have a good sleep

C. wrong strategies for getting up early

D. how to become an early riser

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015-2016學(xué)年陜西西安長(zhǎng)安區(qū)一中高一上期末英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Do you always forget where you placed your keys or your purse? What was the name of the movie you saw last week? The major cause of your forgetfulness may be linked to what you store in your body, not in your short-term memory bank.

Tests continue to show that people with enough Vitamin B-2 do well in memory exams. The "B" could stand for "brain", if you're one of many with limited instant recall. And the number one source of that vitamin (維生素) is sunflower seeds.

Even when you're sleeping or relaxing, your brain is still at work. Although it makes up just two percent of your total body weight, it uses up to 30 % of the calories (卡路里) you take in each day. For it to work properly, it must be fed. Even if you're not a breakfast eater, that meal is the best way to prepare your brain for the day. A quick and easy English muffin with peanut and butter in it, a glass of milk, and an orange, might be what your brain may be asking you the first thing in the morning when you feel your head is in a fog. Having sunflower seeds and fruit between meals adds more muscle to that hungry, demanding organ. Vitamin B-1 also helps the memory, and that is found in eggs, meats and nuts. In Chinese culture, walnuts are known as the fruit for a long life because it is believed that they feed both the kidneys and the brain. And according to Chinese culture, if you keep those two important organs in good working order, you'll live longer.

However forgetful you are, just keep in mind the letter "B", which will help you to "bear in mind almost everything" even on those days when life's challenges are sending you in a billion directions.

1.The underlined word "muffin" in the third paragraph probably means________.

A. menu B. dinner C. cookie D. calorie

2.What can we conclude from the passage?

A. Two percent of our brain is still active when we are sleeping or relaxing.

B. What we eat seems more important than what we learn in terms of memory.

C. It doesn't make much difference to our brain whether we have breakfast or not.

D. Life's challenges have no effect on our memory, if dealt with in a proper way.

3.In the passage, Chinese culture is mentioned to________.

A. support the idea of long life

B. warn the readers of two organs

C. show the importance of vitamin B-1

D. remind us of walnuts and sunflower seeds

4.What can you get from the passage?

A. Keep in mind the letter "B"

B. The younger, the better memory

C. Learn about Chinese culture

D. Try to get more rest
