Question

【題目】We all wish we could have just one more hour of sleep.

For lucky high school students in England, they’re now going to reset their alarm(鬧鐘) and get one more hour of sleep. Instead of starting school at 9 a.m., students will begin their school day at 10 a.m.

This is part of a huge study by Oxford University. The experiment( 實驗) will see if later classes can help them get good marks.

“We know that something funny happens when you’re a teenager, "a sleep researcher Colin Epsie told The Telegraph. “When you get bad marks, your parents think it is because you're lazy, and everything would be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. Science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.”

In 2009, some scientists did other similar experiments. They found that 19% students got better marks in Maths and Science.

Is one more hour's sleep good for all students' studies? Yet we’ll have to wait until 2018 to find out these exciting results!

【1】Why do the students in England reset their alarm?

A. Because they are too lazy to get up early. B. Because they want to start school at 9 a.m.

C. Because they can get another hour of sleep. D. Because the time of their alarms are wrong.

【2】Which of the following is True about the experiment?

A. It is studied by Oxford University. B. We can know the result now.

C. It shows that all students get better marks. D. It tells us more sleep is bad for students.

【3】The scientists do the experiments to .

A. know more about students' sleep

B. see if it is good for students’ study

C. help students keep healthy

D. see better marks of Maths and Science

【4】What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 4?

【解析】

學(xué)生們都盼望他們在早上能多睡一個小時，英國的學(xué)生們就很幸運(yùn)，他們的學(xué)校推遲了上學(xué)的時間，這是因為科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)得到充足的睡眠對學(xué)生們的學(xué)習(xí)是有利的。我們也盼望這樣的事情也會發(fā)生在我們身上吧。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中Instead of starting school at 9 a.m., students will begin their school day at 10 a.m.可知，英國的學(xué)校推遲了上學(xué)的時間，學(xué)生們早上可以多睡一個小時了，由此可知應(yīng)選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第三段中This is part of a huge study by Oxford University.可知，這個研究是牛津大學(xué)實施的一項大研究中的一部分，由此可知A選項符合文意，故選A。根據(jù)The experiment( 實驗) will see if later classes can help them get good marks.可知B不對；根據(jù)When you get bad marks, your parents think it is because you're lazy, and everything would be OK if you could get to sleep earlier.可知C和D不對。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中The experiment( 實驗) will see if later classes can help them get good marks.可知，這個實驗是想要看看推遲上學(xué)的時間，讓學(xué)生們多睡一會兒是否有利于他們的學(xué)習(xí)。由此可知應(yīng)選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段中When you get bad marks, your parents think it is because you're lazy,可知，這里的it是指“當(dāng)你得到不好的分?jǐn)?shù)的時候”，即你學(xué)習(xí)不好的時候。故應(yīng)選C。

【5】推理判斷題。這篇短文講述了英國的科學(xué)家們的一個實驗，他們想要看看充足的睡眠對學(xué)生們的學(xué)習(xí)是否有利。短文屬于科學(xué)知識方面的，報紙往往包羅萬象，各方面的內(nèi)容都有，因此B選項是正確答案。a travel guide旅行指南；a cartoon book卡通書；a food magazine食物雜志。這三個都不符合文意。

這篇短文講述了英國的科學(xué)家們的一個實驗，他們想要看看充足的睡眠對學(xué)生們的學(xué)習(xí)是否有利。短文屬于科普類的，在理解上稍有難度。后面的題目設(shè)置有細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題，細(xì)節(jié)題考查我們對文章某處事實信息的理解，答案�？梢灾苯釉谠�文找到；推理題則考查我們根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合理的猜測的能力。例如第1小題，題目問的是英國的學(xué)生們重新設(shè)置鬧鐘的原因，根據(jù)題干中reset their alarm我們可以定位到短文第二段，根據(jù)Instead of starting school at 9 a.m., students will begin their school day at 10 a.m.可知，英國的學(xué)校推遲了上學(xué)的時間，學(xué)生們早上可以多睡一個小時了，由此可知應(yīng)選C。再如第5小題，考查文章的出處，a travel guide旅行指南；newspaper報紙；a cartoon book卡通書；a food magazine食物雜志。這篇短文講述了科學(xué)家們的一個實驗，屬于科學(xué)知識方面的，報紙往往包羅萬象，各方面的內(nèi)容都有，因此B選項是正確答案。
