【題目】 Are you angry about the noise of your alarm clock every morning? Still feel sleepy after getting up? Now, you can say goodbye to that annoying alarm clock, and you needn’t hear its unpleasant noise every morning.

The Glo Pillow(發(fā)光枕頭) can wake you up with soft LED lights. They produce the soft light over 40 minutes just like the sunrise.

The pillow is taking the place of the traditional alarm clock. It was designed by Eoin McNally and Ian Walton to be against the pressure of a “24 hour” lifestyle.

The pillow uses a kind of LED material below the surface. It wakes the user up with light. The material can also show the time on the pillow’s surface, and it is perfect for those who sleep with their heads completely buried face down into the pillow. Forty minutes before the pre-set(預(yù)設(shè)) alarm time, the pillow begins to glow and gently brings the user out of sleep. The natural waking process helps to set “body clock” and makes people build a healthy sleep-and-wake habit slowly.

【1】The noise of the alarm may make people ______.

A.relaxedB.happyC.excitedD.Angry

【2】Thepillow wakes people up with ______.

A.lightB.soundC.smellD.touch

【3】If the user wants to get up at 6:40a.m., the Glo Pillow will start working at ______.

A.6:00a.m.B.6:10a.m.C.6:20a.m.D.6:30a.m.

【4】The writer thinks that ______.

A.nobody likes the alarm clock because it always makes people angry．

B.everyone will use the Glo Pillow instead of the traditional alarm clock．

C.it’s common to sleep with our heads completely buried face down into the pillow.

D.The Glo Pillow can help people build a healthy sleep-and-wake habit slowly.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

本文講述了發(fā)光枕頭。有了發(fā)光枕頭，人們不必每天早上都聽到鬧鐘那令人討厭的聲音。發(fā)光枕頭可以喚醒人們，它們在40分鐘內(nèi)發(fā)出柔和的光，就像日出一樣，枕頭正在取代傳統(tǒng)的鬧鐘。它是由約恩·麥克納利和伊恩·沃爾頓設(shè)計的，以對抗“24小時”生活方式的壓力。自然醒的過程有助于設(shè)定“生物鐘”，讓人們慢慢養(yǎng)成健康的作息習(xí)慣。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Now, you can say goodbye to that annoying alarm clock”可知你不必每天早上都聽到鬧鐘那令人討厭的聲音，所以可推測出是使人生氣，故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“The Glo Pillow(發(fā)光枕頭) can wake you up with soft LED lights.”及“It wakes the user up with light.”可知發(fā)光枕頭可以用柔軟的燈光喚醒你，故選A。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Forty minutes before the pre-set(預(yù)設(shè)) alarm time”可知要提前40分鐘，所以是6點，故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“The natural waking process helps to set “body clock” and makes people build a healthy sleep-and-wake habit slowly.”可知自然醒的過程有助于設(shè)定“生物鐘”，讓人們慢慢養(yǎng)成健康的作息習(xí)慣，故選D。

【題目】 Many of us don’t pay attention to the importance of eye care. It’s said that if you take care of your body, then you can be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a Number one place.

There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, gene and aging. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight.

If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a rest every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.

Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

【題目】 Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer. The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it.

However, he went to work at a children’s home in Nepal. His first thought was to make people remember him. “I thought that if I volunteered just once, I could retell the story over and over so that everyone could remember me,” Grennan said in a Huffington Post article.

However, his three-month staying at the children’s home turned into an unusual experience. It was 2004 and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year-long around-the-world trip, His first three months were spent in Nepal.

When he arrived in the village, he knew nothing about the children or the local culture. When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children’s Home, he was warmly welcomed by the children.

The young American ended up caring for 18 children. He later discovered that they were trafficked(被拐賣的)children. So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids’ families. “I started walking with photos of the kids.” he told the Reuters reporter. “I would show up in villages and show photographs around. I went with 24 photos, and I found 24 families.”

At the same time, he put his heart into Nepalese culture.

Grennan said, “Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives.”

He also encouraged others to do what he had done. He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up.

Grennan’s fight against child-trafficking has changed him. His book, Little Prince, came out last week.

【題目】閱讀理解七選五 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Language teachers often offer advice to language learners: “Read as much as you can in the new language.” “【1】” “Live with people who speak the language.” “Don’t translate—try to think in he new language.” “Learn as a child would learn; play with the language.”

But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.

First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. 【2】 They try to find their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.

【3】 Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again.

【4】 They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.

【5】 If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has not been very successful, you may try some of the techniques (方法) mentioned above.

A. Successful language learning is active learning.

B. What kind of language learner are you?

C. Who knows the secret to language learning?

D. Practice speaking the language every day.

E. They do not depend on the book or the teacher.

F. Good language learners are not afraid of making mistakes.

G. Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose.

【題目】 In Singapore, primary and high school students take outdoor-skills courses as part of their studies. They are usually three to five days long and include rope and rock climbing, going to sea in a small boat, sleeping in a tent at night, taking long walks in the forest, and learning to make a fire. It's real life. One careless mistake could make someone get really hurt. Are those outdoor skills really important?

Minister of Education Ng Chee Meng says that the outdoor courses help students develop skills like critical thinking (批判性思維), teamwork, and good communication — abilities that are necessary for work and life. He believes that these skills are as important as traditional subjects. Students need to learn from books, but for some lessons, reading isn't as useful as doing.

What do the students think? Angelique, a student from Singapore, went for a boat trip in the sea.“It helped me to grow stronger,” she says. She felt nervous because it was stormy that day. There were moments when she felt afraid and hopeless. But she remembered that“smooth seas never made a skilled sailor (水手)” and felt brave enough to continue against the storm.“I am thankful for this amazing chance,” she says.

Right now, students attend the courses with groups from their own school. After 2020, however, all students will do the course in groups from several different schools. One student said it this way, “Nothing's impossible.”And that's a great lesson to learn.

【1】In Singapore , the students usually spend________ on outdoor-skills courses.

A.3 daysB.5 daysC.8 daysD.3,4 or five days

【2】According to the first paragraph, what may make someone get really hurt?

A.taking long walks in the forestB.going to sea in a small boat

C.one careless mistakeD.sleeping in a tent at night

【3】Minister of Education Ng Chee Meng thinks that________are as important as traditional subjects.

A.skills like critical thinkingB.teamworkC.good communication D.above of all

【4】What did Angelique think of her boat trip in the sea?

A.It was terrible.B.It was hopelessC.It was amazing.D.It was boring.
