A doctor entered the hospital hurriedly after being called in for an important surgery(外科手术). He found the boy's father in the hall waiting worriedly.

On seeing him, the father cried out, "Why did you take all this time to come? Don't you know that my son is in danger? Don't you have any sense of duty?"

The doctor smiled and said, "I am sorry. I wasn't in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work."

"Calm down?! What if your son is in this room right now? Would you calm down? If your own son dies while waiting for a doctor, then what will you do?" said the father angrily. The doctor smiled again and replied, "We will do our best and you should also pray(祈祷) for your son's healthy life."

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, "Thank goodness! Your son is saved!" And without waiting for the father's reply, he carried on his way running by saying, "If you have any question, ask the nurse."

"Couldn't he wait some minutes so that I can ask about my son's state?"shouted the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face. "His son died yesterday in a road accident. He was at the burial(葬礼) when we called him for your son's surgery. And now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's burial."

Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?

Lots of people do. And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain "remains more awake" than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.

The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home. They call it "first-night influence". "In Japan they say, ‘If you change your bed, you can't sleep,’" said Yuka Sasaki, one of the report's writers. "You don't sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it."

The researchers measured brain waves(测量脑波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart(间隔). They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. "This was during the first deep-sleep period," the researchers said.

Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.

Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they don't know if the left half keeps "watch" all night, or whether it "works in shifts(轮换) with the right half later in the night". They also do not know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.

For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is "looking out for us" in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

51.How many times did the researchers measure brain waves for 35 volunteers?

A. Once.

B. Twice.

C. Three times.

D. Four times.

52.The researchers found during the first deep-sleep period.

A. the brain waves remained the same

B. the brain activity helped with sleep

C. the right half of the brain kept "watch"

D. the left half of the brain was more active

53.Which of the following is one of the questions that remain?

A. Whether the new bed keeps you from sleeping.

B. How you have trouble sleeping in a new place.

C. Why the brain activity is always on the left half.

D. What people can do when they can't sleep well.

54.The underlined word "calming" has the closest meaning to "".

A. pleasing

B. different

C. serious

D. strange

55.What is the text mainly about?

A. What we will have to do to sleep well.

B. How researchers measure brain waves.

C. Who doesn't sleep well in a new place.

D. Why it's harder to sleep in a new place.

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant(令人愉快的) but are not. 61 When someone says they have to "face the music", it does not mean they are going to a concert. "Face the music" means to accept and deal with the punishment of an action.

62 For example, "I can't face another night of camping! It's cold and rainy." or "In life, you must face your fears." Face used in this way is very common.

But now, let's go back to facing the music. Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, "Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely(极其) fast car." 63 You want to show off to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!

When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and "face the music". 64 It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.

65 To "take your medicine" means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, "You made your bed. Now lie in it," they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results!

根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、内容完整。

A. But you do not listen.

B. "Face the music" is a good example.

C. The "music" here is the result of your actions.

D. Americans often use the word "face" in this way.

E. There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as "face the music".

61. 62. 63. 64. 65.

五、词语运用(10小题,每小题1分,共10分)

阅读短文,从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空,使短文通顺、意思完整。每

空限填一词,每词限用一次。方框中有两个词是多余的。

Next time you're in a public place, take a look around you. And 66 how many people are using their phones. I can tell you now that it is probably more than half, whether you're on a bus, in a café67 simply walking down the street.

I'm not saying that I am not an example of this, but it 68 amazes(使惊愕) me how people can spend so much time on their phones without 69 to others. Has it gone too far?

Recently, my smart phone broke and had to be 70 off for repair for a week or so. I had to use a really old, basic phone just to keep me in touch with my family and 71. All I could do on this phone was to send text messages, make calls and play one game. And I loved it.

I loved being 72 from the Internet, and I really didn't mind not having updates(更新) about

what my friends were doing. It allowed 73 to spend more time enjoying my time in London and watching the people 74 me and really see what was going on.

However, I knew that as soon as I got my smartphone back I would be one of those 75 once again. Perhaps I should just go back to using the basic phone and forget I ever got my smart phone back.

66. 67. 68. 69. 70.

71. 72. 73. 74. 75.

六、补全对话(5小题,每小题2分,共10分)

A: Well, only my friends. Just a chance to get together and have fun. Peter and Mark are going

The biggest personal change I've ever made

The biggest personal change I've ever made is that I have fallen in love with reading.

When I was a child, I didn't enjoy books at all. Later, my mother always read stories for me and bought me books. Gradually I began to love reading. While reading, I feel like talking with a wise man. Reading is also a fantastic way to pass my free time.

Books are my friends. And they benefit me a lot.
