【題目】 What time of day do you feel most alert (清醒的)? Are you more of a morning person? Or does your brain need a few hours to get going? A lot of research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we are best able to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal (華爾街日報).

For example, many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to go up through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help speed this up. And when the sun comes out for a few hours, it may help a lot, too.

. Morning people will rise early and work better early in the day. Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better toward the end of the day.

Research shows that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.

Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to get distracted (思想不集中的). This is partly because our brain becomes less alert after we eat a big meal. Research also shows that we become sleepy around 2 pm.

Finally, it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high. So a suitable time can help us keep healthy. It’s necessary for us to know about it.

1Why do many people perform best later in the morning?

A.they can’t get up very earlyB.the body’s temperature needs time to rise

C.they have to take a shower firstD.that’s when the brain wakes up

2Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank?

A.But everyone’s body clock is differentB.And everyone’s body clock is almost the same

C.But everyone’s brain is differentD.And everyone’s brain is almost the same

3According to the research, which of the following is TRUE?

A.It’s better to do exercise in the afternoon.B.We perform better after eating a big meal.

C.Sleeping at 2 pm is not good for our health.D.Our body burns calories better at night.

4What would be the best title for the story?

【解析】

本文講述了研究表明,人們應該注意自己的生物鐘。它能告訴人們什么時候可以最好的執(zhí)行。人們在下午3點到6點是身體表現(xiàn)最好的時候,所以最好在一天的晚些時候鍛煉。在中午和下午4點之間,人們開始分心,因為人們的大腦在吃了一頓大餐后變得不那么清醒了。研究還表明,人們在下午2點左右會犯困,可以休息一下。人們活動的時候吃東西可以讓人們的身體更好地燃燒卡路里,并阻止人們的血糖水平變得過高,所以一個合適的時間可以幫助人們保持健康。

1細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“For example, many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to go up through the day.”許多人在早上工作得最好。這是因為身體的溫度需要一段時間才能上升?芍且驗轶w溫上升需要時間,故選B。

2推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Morning people will rise early and work better early in the day. Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better toward the end of the day.”早起的人會起得早,工作也會做得更好。晚起的人會醒得晚,但是他們的大腦在一天結(jié)束時工作得更好。可知他們的生物鐘是不同的,故選A。

3推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Physical performance is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.”可知下午3點到6點是身體表現(xiàn)最好的時候,所以最好在一天的晚些時候鍛煉,選項A正確;根據(jù)“Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to get distracted. This is partly because our brain becomes less alert after we eat a big meal.”可知大餐之后表現(xiàn)不好,選項B錯誤;根據(jù)“Research also shows that we become sleepy around 2 pm.”可知此處是下午兩點會犯困,所以睡一覺對身體好,選項C錯誤;根據(jù)“Finally, it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.”最好在我們活動的時候吃東西。這可以讓我們的身體更好地燃燒卡路里,并不是晚上,選項D錯誤;故選A

4最佳標題。根據(jù)“A lot of research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we are best able to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal”許多研究表明,我們應該注意我們的生物鐘。它能告訴我們什么時候可以最好的執(zhí)行,可知是說大腦表現(xiàn),故選C。
