Im often up early in the morning searching for

8、news, and then working late into the night. Im an energetic person most of the time. However, I find the only way I can function (运转) properly is by taking a regular nap (小憩) during the day. I usually drop off at once. I can generally only get away with fifteen or twenty minutes at a time before the

9、 phone rings.PennyI have real problems getting to sleep at night. I do all the things youre supposed to do. But try as I might to get to sleep, Ill be turning for ages, then getting up to busy myself with different things to tire myself out. And then, when I do finally drop off, I tend to wake up at

10、 the slightest (最轻微的) sound and lie awake for hours worrying. Ive tried all kinds of treatment, but none worked. I just cant remember when I last got a good nights sleep.AmyIm normally so tired by the end of the day that I never have any problems dropping off. Ill sleep anywhere in a hotel, on a pla

11、ne, I can even sleep through a noisy party in the house next door, anything. All the same, I need a good eight hours sleep to make me feel refreshed (精神焕发的) otherwise I tend to feel sleepy the next day.JoeI snore (打鼾) heavily. It drives my wife crazy, as shes a light sleeper. Shell move into another

12、 bedroom and then shell complain the next day that she didnt get a good sleep. Ive tried sleeping on my side but in spite of my efforts, none of it has done any good. My wife has asked me to lose weight I dont believe it will make any difference, though.21. What helps Pete to work well?A. His scient

14、Joe.24. In which part of a magazine could we find this text?A. Arts.B. Jobs.C. Lifestyle.D. Education.BIf you were to travel back in time to the tenth century, you probably wouldnt be able to understand a sentence that anyone said to you. Theyd be speaking Old English. Talking to a tenth-century Eng

15、lishman, youd probably only be able to understand a few words like“a”or“the”. Only about one-sixth of todays English words have an Old English root (词根), with the rest having foreign influences.Gradually Old English turned into the Middle English that Chaucer wrote inbut still the official language

16、of England was French! It was only in 1362, during Chaucers lifetime, that English was used at the opening of Parliament (议会) for the first time. During the same year a law called the “Statute of Pleading” was passed, making English the official language in Parliament. In 1399, King Henry IV became

17、the first king ofEnglandafter the Norman Conquest whose mother tongue was English.English was still a language of low status (地位)especially when it came to writing poetry (诗歌). During the 14th century, the Italians and French were creative. Great poets like Dante were writing in totally new ways. Bu

18、t English had no such great writers. This was where Chaucer made a difference. He took the language of the man in the street and turned it into many famous works, such asThe Canterbury Tales. Chaucer proved poetry written in English could be every bit as good as books in French.Of course, the Englis

19、h language has continued to change since Chaucers day. For example, Shakespeares English is quite different from Chaucers. And it is still changing now. Until just a few years ago, “C U L8R” (see you later) was just a set of letters and numbers, but now most people know what it means!25. What happen

21、ging.B. To explain how the Middle English changed.C. To show Shakespeares English is unusual.D. To show how people respond to new words.27. How is the text developed?A. By space.B. By comparison.C. By importance.D. By time. CMatthew Shifrin got his first Lego blocks when he was 5. “Ive been in love

22、with Legos ever since,” he says. Shifrin is blind. Now 18, he has spent years trying to make Legos easier for blind kids to enjoy.The blocks themselves are not difficult for blind people to put together. But Legos large setsincluding bridges, starships, historic scenes, and famous buildingsare a dif

23、ferent story. They have hundreds or even thousands of pieces and complex (复杂的) written instructions. These make it very hard for blind people to build a set without a lot of help from a person who can see.“I was always just drooling (痴迷于) over the sets because they sounded so amazing,”Shifrin says.“

24、But I knew that I would never have access to (可以使用) them.”That changed on Shifrins 13th birthday. Lilya Finkel, a family friend, gave him the Lego set Battle of Alamut, a castle with 821 pieces. She had translated the instructions into Braille (盲文). She had also made other changes, like dividing the

25、 pieces into plastic bags based on which step they were to be used in. Shifrin could build the set without his parents help. “This was a rare case in which the impossible was made possible and the playing field was leveled,” he says.Now Shifrin hopes to share accessible Lego instructions with other

26、blind kids. He and Finkel have translated more than 20 Lego instructions for the blind. Shifrin has also set up a website, Lego for the Blind, where people can download instructions and volunteer to help translate instructions into Braille. “I hope that the next generation of blind children will ben

27、efit and will feel the level playing field that I felt when I built that first set,” he says.28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. Some kinds of Lego sets.B. How to build a Lego house.C. Peoples different opinions on Lego.D. Why Legos large sets are difficult for the blind.29. What was spec

28、ial about Shifrins birthday gift from Finkel?A. It was a castle.B. It was blind-friendly.C. It was bagged well.D. It was hard to put together.30. Which of the following words can best describe Shifrin?A. Childish.B. Helpful.C. Brave.D. Proud.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Amazing success

29、B. Games for childrenC. For the love of LegoD. The way to build with LegosDI did some research and examined how British English and American English changed between the 1930s and the 2000s. Take spelling, for example towards the 1960s it looked like the UK was going in the direction of not using the

30、 “u” in “colour” and writing“centre”as“center”. But since then, the British have become more confident (自信的) in some of their own spellings. In the 2000s, theUKused an American spelling choice about 11% of the time while Americans use a British one about 10% of the time. There is also no need to wor

31、ry too much about American words, such as “vacation”, “liquor” and “lawmaker” entering British English. There are a few examples of this kind of vocabulary change but they are mostly uncommon words and are not likely to change British English too much. The British are still using “mum” rather than “

32、mom” and “petrol” rather than “gas”.But when we start thinking of language more in terms of style than vocabulary or spelling, a different picture appears. Some of the bigger trends (趋势) in American English are moving towards a freer use of language. American sentences are on average (平均) one word s

33、horter in 2006 than they were in 1931.Americans also use a lot more apostrophes (撇号) in their writing than they used to, which has the effect of turning the two words“do not”into the single“dont”.“The hand of the king”becomes the shorter“The kings hand”.However, in all these ways Brits are changing

34、too and in the same way as Americans. Theyre just about 30 years behind the trend that Americans seem to be leading.So this raises a question, is British English actively following American English or is this something that is simply a natural trend in language use? Perhaps the British would have go

35、ne in that direction even ifAmericahad never been discovered? Id like to agree with the second idea but because of the fact that British people learn plenty of American language through different ways, I think the first is more correct.32. What did the British do in the 1960s?A. They used some Ameri

36、can spellings.B. They built up confidence in their language.C. They did research on language differences.D. They went in the direction of harder spellings.33. What does the author try to show by using examples like “petrol”?A. British English has changed a lot.B. Some uncommon words are used less of

37、ten.C. American words are entering British English.D. American spelling wont change British English too much.34. Which of the following is a trend of American English?A. It is using shorter words.B. It is turning to proper grammar.C. It is avoiding using apostrophes.D. It is trying to make sentences

38、 simpler.35. Which of the following is the authors opinion about the languages?A. American English is going the wrong way.B. British English is following American Englishs example.C. American English is borrowing a lot from British English.D. Languages wouldnt change much ifAmericawas not discovered

40、.2. Build your habit your own wayWhen I started to build up an exercise routine (习惯), I only went when I wanted to go. For me, that was around 2 pm every day.37If I wanted to do 20 minutes on the bike, Id do only 20 minutes and then leave.3. Start smallI knew that if I tried to take on too much, Id

41、find a way to make an excuse.38I started with two minutes of exercise, which were finally built up to 10, then 20 minutes. I realised that just doing something, no matter how small, meant I was more likely to do it again the next day.4. Be kind to yourself39When I got a cold and missed several days
