Teenagers should be encouraged to get up on weekends at roughly the same time they get up for school during the week.Experts’ advice 1 on a new research suggests that sleeping late on weekends may lead to 2 academic performance. Researcher Stephanie J．Crowley 3 that teenagers’ sleep is typically restricted during the school week；they often stay up late due to homework and have to 4 early to go to class.As a result，they often try to “catch up” on 5 by sleeping later and longer. In an ongoing (正在进行的)study，Crowley is examining the 6 of this typical teenage sleep pattern on a group of high school students.

Preliminary (初步的)results，based on six 15 to 16-year-olds，show

that 7 up late and sleeping in over the weekend reset the body’s internal (体内的) clock to a later time，Crowley said，making them 8 on Monday morning.Crowley is also finding that weekend “catch up” sleep makes teenagers less attentive on 9 morning. Based on the current study，teenagers should be encouraged to get a 10 night’s sleep on a nightly basis and to get up at roughly the same time every morning.

1．A.stood B．based C．looked D．taken

解析：选B。be based on sth.意为“以??为基础”，固定短语。此处是采用过去分词作定语修饰前面的名词advice，相当于定语从句which was based on...。

2．A.high B．rich C．poor D．perfect

解析：选C。从文章的第一句和下文可以知道，周末起得很晚会导致学生学习不好。因此此题应填poor，其他选项都不符合文章意思。

3．A.noted B．complained C．exaggerated D．whispered

解析：选A。研究员Crowley指出，通常学习期间学生的睡眠受到限制。note指出；complain抱怨；exaggerate夸张；whisper低声说。根据文章意思应该选择A项。

4．A.encourage B．shout C．raise D．rise 解析：选D。(学习期间)由于家庭作业，他们常常要熬夜到很晚，(第二天)又要早早地起床去上课。rise，不及物动词，此处相当于get up。

解析：选B。因此他们常常在周末“补觉”。根据意思应选择weekends周末。

6．A.situation B．assistance C．effect D．circumstance 解析：选C。下面一段讲的是这种典型的青少年睡眠模式的影响。因此此处选择effect。

7．A.staying B．setting C．putting D．standing 解析：选A。stay up熬夜，固定短语。 8．A.rainy B．foggy C．cloudy D．windy 解析：选B。make them foggy使得他们一头雾水(使得他们头脑不清醒)。

Ⅱ.语法填空

When you start talking about good and bad manners you immediately start meeting difficulties.Many people just cannot agree 11 they mean.We asked a lady，who replied that she thought you could tell a well-mannered person 12 the way they occupied the space around them.However， 13 second person thought that this was 14 a question of civilized behavior than good manners.Instead，this other person told us a story about an American who 15 (invite) to an Arab meal in one of the countries of the Middle East.The American hadn’t been told much about the kind of food he might expect. 16 he had known about Arab food，he might have behaved better.Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked，to him，very much like a

napkin. 17 (pick) it up，he put it into his collar，so that it fell across his shirt.His Arab host，who had been watching，said nothing， 18 immediately copied the 19 (act) of his guest.And that，said 20 second person，was a fine example of good manners.

11．解析：此处考查宾语从句的引导词what的用法。分析句子结构可知，空格处单词引导的句子充当谓语“cannot agree”的宾语。在宾语从句中，谓语动词mean缺少宾语，所以使用what。

答案：what 12．解析：此处考查语境理解及介词的用法。此空易错用介词in。根据语境可知，空格处词义是“按照，从??看”，所以使用介词by。

答案：by

13．解析：此处考查不定冠词的特殊用法。不定冠词用于序数词前，并不强调顺序而是表示“另一个，又一个”。

答案：a

14．解析：此处考查语境理解及特殊比较级结构的用法。根据句子中的than可以判断出空格处要使用more，表示“与其说??倒不如说??”。此处意为“与其说这是礼貌的问题倒不如说是文明行为的问题”。

答案：more

15．解析：此处考查从句中谓语的时态和语态的用法。分析句子结构可知，who引导的定语从句中缺少谓语，空格处部分在从句中作谓语，所给单词invite与主句谓语told相比，是过去的过去，所以要用过去完成时；同时主语who与invite之间是动宾关系，所以应使用被动语态。

答案：had been invited

16．解析：此处考查虚拟条件句的用法。句意：如果他早了解了阿拉伯的食物，他的举止就可能更加得体些。

答案：If

17．解析：此处考查现在分词作状语的用法。pick的逻辑主语是he，它们之间是主谓关系，所以使用现在分词。此处意为“抓起它，他就把它放进衣领里(他以为那是餐巾)”。

答案：Picking

18．解析：此处考查语境理解。分析语境可知，上下句是转折关系，所以使用but。句意：一直在看着的阿拉伯主人，什么也没说，只是立即模仿他的客人的做法。

答案：but

19．解析：此处考查名词作宾语的用法。分析句子结构可知，空格处单词作前面动词copied的宾语，所以要使用所给提示词act的名

词形式action。

答案：action

20．解析：此处考查指示代词作定语的用法。根据语境可知，空格处词义特指刚刚提到的“这个人”，所以使用this。

答案：this Ⅲ.阅读理解
