(2015·河南六市第一次联考)President Abraham Lincoln led the Union of northern states in four years of civil war against the southern Confederacy. But he did not live to see the end of the war. He did not live to see the nation re-united. He was assassinated in April of 1865.

Almost immediately, officials began planning details of the president’s funeral. They asked Mrs. Lincoln where she wanted her husband buried. At first, she said Chicago. That was where the Lincolns were going to live after they left the White House.

Then she said the Capitol building in Washington. A tomb had been built there for America’s first President, George Washington. But it had never been used.

Finally, she remembered a country cemetery they had visited.At the time, her husband had said，“When I am gone, lay my remains in some quiet place like this.” So Mrs. Lincoln decided that the president’s final resting place would be in the quiet, beautiful Oak Ridge Cemetery outside their home town of Springfield, Illinois.

For several days after Lincoln’s assassination, his body lay in the East Room of the White House. The room was open to the public all day. Next, the body was taken to the Capitol building. Again, the public could come to say goodbye. Then the body was put on a special train for the trip back to Illinois.

(2015·江西九校联考)Sleeping in a room with too much light has been linked to an increased risk of piling on the pounds, a study shows. A team at the Institute of Cancer Research in London found women had larger waistlines if their bedroom was “light enough to see across” at night. However, they caution there is not enough evidence to advise people to buy thicker curtains or turn off lights.

The women were asked to rate the amount of light in their bedrooms at night as：Light enough to read. Light enough to see across the room, but not read. Light enough to see your hand in front of you, but not across the room. Too dark to see your hand or you wear a mask.

Prof.Anthony Swerdlow told the BBC：“In this very large group of people there is an association between reported light exposure at night and overweight and obesity. But there is not sufficient evidence to know if making your room darker would make any difference to your weight. There might be other explanations for the association, but the findings are intriguing enough to guarantee further scientific investigation.”

The light is disrupting the body clock, which stems from our evolutionary past when we were active when it was light in the day and resting when it was dark at night. Light alters mood，physical strength and even the way we process food in a 24-hour cycle. Artificial light is known to disrupt the body clock by delaying the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.

Prof.Derk-Jan Dijk said there would be no harm in trying to make bedrooms darker. He told the BBC：“People in general are not aware of the light present in their bedroom. I think people should assess their bedroom and see how easy it would be to make it darker.” Street lights, some alarm clocks and standby lights on electrical equipment such as televisions could light a room, he said.“Overall this study points to the importance of darkness，” he concluded.

5．The passage mainly tells us ________． A．bright bedrooms link to obesity B．dark bedrooms link to obesity C．people should turn off lights

D．people should buy thicker curtains

6．What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Stopping. B．Disturbing. C．Improving. D．Recovering. 7．What might Paragraph 4 be used for?

2

A．One possible explanation on disrupting body clock. B．One possible explanation on disrupting mood.

C．One possible explanation on disrupting physical strength. D．One possible explanation on artificial light.

8．What’s Prof.Derk-Jan Dijk’s attitude towards the dark room? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Negative. D．Favorable. Ⅱ.完形填空
