16.Sleeping in on Saturday after a few weeks of too little shuteye may feel refreshing,but it can give a false sense of security.
New research shows long-term sleep loss cannot be cured that easily.Scientists researched the effects of short-and long-term sleep loss and found that those who suffer long-term sleep loss may function normally soon after waking up,but experience steadily slower reaction times as the day goes by,even if they had tried to catch up the previous night.
The research has important safety significances in an increasingly busy society,not just for shift-workers but for the roughly one in six Americans who regularly get six hours or less of sleep a night.
"We know that staying awake 24 hours without sleep will affect your performance to do all sorts of things,and this effect equals to drinking too much when driving,"said lead researcher Dr.Daniel Cohen of Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital.But when those who suffer long-term sleep loss become all-nighters,"the harm is increased ten times,"Cohen said.
The National Institutes of Health says adults need seven hours to nine hours of sleep for good health.Regularly getting too little sleep increases the risk of health problems,including memory impairment and a weakened immune system.More immediately,too little sleep affects reaction times; sleepiness is to blame for car crashes and other accidents.
It has critically important complicated and unexpected results for anyone who works"crazy hours"and thinks they are performing fine with a few hours of weeknight sleep,said Harris,director at New York's Montefiore Medical Center."Don't think you can just bank up your sleep on the weekend,because it doesn't work that way,"he warned.
61.The text mainly advises peopleC.
A.to sleep more time                         
B.to sleep in on Saturday
C.to sleep scientifically                     
D.to sleep little on weekend
62.People with long-term sleep lossB.
A.a(chǎn)re quicker in thinking                   
B.may feel refreshed soon after waking up
C.a(chǎn)re surely energetic                        
D.can have a strong sense of security
63.What can we learn from the text?B
A.Most of the Americans get six hours or less of sleep a night.
B.Staying up is worse for those who suffer long-term sleep loss.
C.Traffic accidents have little to do with sleepiness.
D.One in six Americans are all-nighters.
64.Which of the following is the immediate effect of long-term sleep loss?C
A.Health problems                            
B.Immune system
C.Reaction times                              
D.Memory impairment
65.The underlined phrase"bank up"in the last paragraph most probably meansA.
A.pile up      B.pick up      C.a(chǎn)dd up               D.build up.

6.Long ago,sailors sailed to faraway places without the ability to rely on modern instruments to lead the way.Still,many were able to sail across vast,uncharted oceans and arrive at their destinations safely.Why didn't more sailors get lost at sea?What kinds of equipment did they use to find their way?
In early sailing history,few maps were available.Sailors had to rely on memory and on written guides called pilot books.Pilot books offered sailors information about how long it took to get to certain ports and instructions about getting in and out of the ports.Pilot books did not offer much information about sailing far from land.
Later,sailors used maps,charts,and information from other explorers to plan their trips.Early maps and charts offered descriptions of islands and coastlines tht helped sailors navigate.Experienced sailors learned where harbors,fresh water,supplies,and riendly people might be found.They were also able to warn others about dangers.Some of the early navigation practices and equipment used on these ships proved to be quite trustworthy.Early sailors used a tool called the astrolabe (星盤) to figure out the positions of stars and the sun to determine their location.For centuries,sailors planned their routes,sailed,and recorded their progress using the North Star as their only reference.They also used patterns of wind and waves as directional clues.Even though ocean waves may look the same to inexperienced eyes,they have different shapes related to the depth of the ocean and their closeness to land.Sailors even found a way that clouds and seabirds could help them.
The sailors of yesterday relied heavily on their observations and studies of the sea.Although their techniques were simple,they were able to achieve great things during their adventures at sea.
28.According to the text,pilot booksA.
A.a(chǎn)re maps charted by other sailors   
B.a(chǎn)re guides written by other sailors
C.offer descriptions of islands and ports  
D.offer information about sailing far away
29.We know from the text that early explorers and sailorsD.
A.established the shipping network    
B.invented many modern sailing tools
C.could locate all the ports and islands  
D.shared information and offered warnings
30.What is Paragraph 4mainly about?D
A.How early sailors found their way.
B.The importance of early navigation.
C.The difficulty of sailing far from land.
D.What arly sailors found on their journeys.
31.What's the author's attitude towards the sailors of yesterday?C

1.Grandparents might be known for spoiling grandchildren,but a new study says they might also be helping the kids improve their social skills and behavior.
Spending time with grandma and grandpa especially appears to help children from single-parent,divorced/separated or stepfamily households,according to the report,published in the February Journal of Family Psychology.
"Grandparents are a positive force for all families but play a significant role in families undergoing difficulties,"the study's lead author,Shalhevet Attar-Schwartz,of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem,said in an American Psychological Association news release."They can reduce the negative influence of parents separating and be a resource for children who are going through these family changes."
In interviewing 11-to 16-year olds from England and Wales,Attar-Schwartz and her team found that the more conversations the youths had with a grandparent,including asking for advice or even money,the better they got along with their peers and the fewer problems they had,such as hyperactivity and disruptive behavior.
"This was found across all three family structures,"she said."But adolescents in single-parent households and stepfamilies benefited the most.The effect of their grandparents'involvement was stronger compared to children from two biological parent families."
The study did not look at children who lived solely with their grandparents,though.
The findings have great implications for people in the United States,the authors said,because American grandparents are increasingly sharing living space with their grandchildren.A 2004 U.S.Census Bureau survey found that more than 5 million households include a grandparent and a grandchild under 18,up 30 percent since 1990,according to background information in the news release.
31.It is generally believed that a grandmotherC.
A.can help a child through hard times
B.can help kids develop social skills
C.can spoil a child
D.is a positive force for all families
32.According t o the passage,grandparents will be of least benefit to a childA
A.from two biological parent families
B.from a single-parent household
C.from a divorced household
D.from a stepfamily household
33.A child who asks his grandmother for money willB
A.have difficulty in getting along with his peers
B.still get along well with his peers
C.be easier to be spoiled than his peers
D.not be popular with peers
34.We can learn from the last paragraph thatA.
A.there are more families in America undergoing difficulties
B.American parents are much busier than those from other countries
C.American grandparents are much better at bringing up their grandchildren
D.American kids like to share more living space with their grandparents
35.The passage implies thatB.
A.children who live solely with their grandparents may benefit the most
B.grandparents are a source of comfort to children from families undergoing difficulties
C.grandparents play a more positive role th an parents in children's growth
D.a(chǎn)ll families should leave their children to be brought up by grandparents.

8.When you think about math,you probably don't think about breaking the law,solving mysteries or finding criminals.But a mathematician in Maryland does,and he has come up with mathematical tools to help police find criminals.
People who solve crimes look for patterns that might reveal (揭示) the identity of the criminal.It's long been believed,for example,that criminals will break the law closer to where they live,simply because it's easier to get around in their own neighborhood.If police see a pattern of robberies in a certain area,they may look for a suspect who lives near the crime scenes.So,the farther away from the area a crime takes place,the less likely it is that the same criminal did it.
But Mike O'Leary,a mathematician at Towson University in Maryland,says that this kind of approach may be too simple.He says that police may get better clues to the location of a criminal's home base by combining these patterns with a city's layout (布局) and historical crime records.
The records of past crimes contain geographical information and can reveal easy targets-that is,the kind of stores that might be less difficult to rob.Because these stores are along roads,the locations of past crimes contain information about where major streets and intersections are.O'Leary is writing a new computer program that will quickly provide this kind of information for a given city.His program also includes information about the people who live in the city,and information about how a criminal's patterns change with age.It's been shown,for example,that the younger the criminal,the closer to home the crime.
Other computer programmers have worked on similar software,but O'Leary's uses more math.The mathematician plans to make his computer program available,free of charge,to police departments around the country.
The program is just one way to use math to fight crime.O'Leary says that criminology-the study of crime and criminals-contains a lot of good math problems."I feel like I'm in a gold mine and   I'm the only one who knows what gold looks like,"he says."It's a lot of fun."

61.To find criminals,police usuallyD.
A.check who are on the crime scene
B.seek help from local people
C.depend on new mathematical tools
D.focus on where crimes take place
62.O'Leary is writing a computer program thatC.
A.uses math to increase the speed of calculation
B.tells the identity of a criminal in a certain area
C.provides the crime records of a given city
D.shows changes in criminals'patterns
63.By"I'm the only one who knows what gold looks like",O'Leary means that heC.
A.is better at finding gold than others
B.is the only one who uses math to make money
C.knows best how to use math to help solve crimes
D.has more knowledge of gold than other mathematicians
64.What do you know about O'Leary according to the passage?B
A.He is a man full of impractical imagination.
B.He is a man full of self-confidence.
C.He is a man who is talkative but lazy.
D.He is a man who doesn't like mathematics.
65.What is the main idea of the text?A
A.Math could help police find criminals.
B.Criminals live near where crimes occur.
C.Crime records could be used to fight crime.
D.Computer software works in preventing crimes.
