21、If you have trouble falling asleep, listen up. You might fall asleep 15 minutes earlier and wake up far less during the night if you put on a pair of socks at bedtime. To understand why, you first need to grasp the relationship between core (核心) body temperature and sleep. During daylight hours, the human body has an average temperature of 37℃. But your core body temperature drops as much as 1.2℃ over one night’s sleep. This gradual decrease is a key part of how we sleep. To put it simply, the faster you can lower your core body temperature, the faster you will fall asleep.
One way that your body controls its temperature is through blood vessels (血管) in the skin. If your body is too hot, your blood vessels widen, pushing the warmer blood nearer the skin’s surface, helping it to cool. If your body is too cold, the opposite happens. Your blood vessels narrow, restricting the flow of blood to the surface.
The soles, the bottom surface of your feet, are one of your body’s most efficient heat exchangers, since they are hairless and less protected than other skin surfaces. Researchers have shown that warming the feet before going to sleep using a warm foot bath or by wearing socks promotes blood vessel widening, which in turn lowers the body’s core temperature faster than going to sleep with cold, bare feet.
Scientists suspect that socked feet have a neurological effect as well. The warm-sensitive neurons (神经元) in the brain become more active when there’s a temperature difference between the body’s core and the feet. Researchers have found that these neurons become more active as we get sleep and slow down as we wake up, so that warming up the feet before bedtime may give warm-sensitive neurons an extra promotion, making you feel sleepier.
In a small study, researchers found that wearing a pair of special “sleeping socks” not only sped up the coming of sleep, but increased overall sleep time by an average of 30 minutes and cut night-time waking times in half. If you’re worried about becoming too warm, look for socks made of natural fibers.
【1】According to the research, a person’s warm feet__________.
A．slowed brain reaction
B．narrowed blood vessels
C．decreased blood pressure
D．reduced core body temperature
【2】How might the brain’s warm-sensitive neurons help sleep?
A．They may bring sleepiness when they become active.
B．They may slow down the brain’s blood flow.
C．They may speed up temperature increase.
D．They may help to warm up the feet.
【3】What is the finding of the small study mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．The warmth of socks depends on their material.
B．People wearing socks fall asleep 50 percent faster.
C．Special socks increase temperature more effectively.
D．Wearing socks helps people sleep longer and wake less.
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A．Fashion.
B．Discovery.
C．Entertainment.
D．Education.
22、Chinese writer Can Xue, along with Japanese author Haruki Murakami, was reportedly named as the fourth-ranked candidate(候选人)to have the highest chance of winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2019.
Can, whose real name is Deng Xiaohua, was born in Changsha, Hunan in 1953. Not raised as a writer, she spent almost 20 years while being a worker, tailor and medical practitioner (从业者).Yet she never gave up on her passion, and in 1985 published her first novel Yellow Mud Street. Like her other works, it made use of symbolism. The book became known as the autobiography of her inner world. Such a work was not easily accepted or understood by Chinese readers during that period. But Can never stopped pursuing her own style.
Other representative works include Old Floating Cloud and The Barefoot Doctor. Some have been translated in other languages, while others have been selected as textbooks at world-class universities in the US and Japan. Her novel The Last Lover has been honored with the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in US, widely considered a prelude award for the Nobel.
Sharing a stylistic similarity with Franz Kafka, Can has been called the "Chinese Kafka" by permanent Nobel Literature Committee judge and renowned sinologist Goran Malmqvist. Malmqvist even believed Can could achieve more than Kafka, as she has already created more than 7 million words of literary composition.
Can responded she was unworthy of that level of praise, and she is just standing on Kafka's shoulders.
Though not understood by many Chinese, Can still writes in a way that combines Western and Chinese culture. But Can said many Western readers thought her works novel enough, as she praised the virtues of introducing Chinese culture to the West.
【1】When did Can Xue publish her first novel?
A．In 1953
B．In 1973.
C．In 1985.
D．In 2019.
【2】Which of her works won a prize for literature in America?
A．Old Floating Cloud.
B．The Last Lover.
C．The Barefoot Doctor.
D．Yellow Mud Street.
【3】Why has Can Xue been called the "Chinese Kafka"?
A．Her works made use of symbolism.
B．She introduced Chinese culture to the West.
C．She won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2019.
D．Her works shared a similar style with Franz Kafka.
【4】What word can describe Can Xue best according to the text?
A．Modest
B．Passive.
C．Mean.
D．Generous.
23、Consumerism is a phenomenon which lies in the tendency of production and buying ever-greater amounts of different goods and services. It not only has an impact on the lifestyle of individuals, but also determines technological and financial progress of the whole states.
Firstly, consumerism enables people to improve the quality of their lives. As Llewellyn Harrison Rockwell states in his article “In Defense of Consumerism”, in 1900 the average life length of women was about 48 years, and of men — 46, but today these indexes are 80 and 77 respectively. This has happened due to the influence of many factors, among which are possibilities to get twenty-four-hour hospital-and home-based medical care, buy high-quality goods, medicines, and to use more safe devises in the working processes. Without the consumerism all this would be impossible as economically unprofitable.
Secondly, consumerism is an effective way of motivation. The temptation to buy a new device, better clothes and tastier food encourages people to earn more money. But for this they should work harder, develop their professional skills and widen their outlook. Moreover, a new purchase itself can become a reason for a person to get some new experience.
Thirdly, the economies of almost all developed countries are based on production of new goods and services. You may not realize it, but the more people buy, the more income the state gets, and the more money can be donated to the social spheres, such as health care, education and culture. So the countries possessing more financial resources provide their citizens with better life conditions.
On the other hand, there is an opinion that consumerism is a kind of a harmful circle, which will not make people’s lives better, but will only contribute to an endless competition between all of them. Juliet Bschor, for example, thinks that the rising number of different goods and services available nowadays makes people neither happier nor wealthier. It only makes them work harder in order to earn money for just another nice thing, spending less time with their families and friends, and trying to compensate it with buying new goods. The satisfaction usually does not last long, only till the moment one sees someone else possessing a better or more fashionable thing. But in fact, the issue of social happiness does not depend on services of products that can be bought. It is just a matter of a person’s character.
So consumerism can influence society both positively and negatively depending on many factors. But, in general, it has more advantages, because it serves as a basis for development on individual, social and state levels.
【1】According to the passage, the temptation to buy things can ________.
A．force people to work harder
B．lead people to earn more money
C．provide people with more holidays
D．forbid people to be more professional
【2】What’s the author’s attitude towards consumerism?
A．Favorable.
B．Objective.
C．Negative.
D．Doubtful.
【3】What’s the purpose of the 5th paragraph?
A．To present one opinion.
B．To show changes of people’s lives.
C．To tell what social happiness depends on.
D．To convey a study result about life satisfaction.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The qualities of people’s lives.
B．The evaluation of life satisfaction.
C．The influences of consumerism.
D．The tendency of economic development.
24、Buying books on the Internet is a great way to save time and money. Online bookstores offer new books and used books that can save you lots of money. They are far better compared to traditional bookstores as they offer much more kinds of books. Another advantage of shopping online is that you can also read the book reviews as well as readers’ reviews to get an idea whether the book is worth buying. Online bookstores offer great discounts (折扣) to regular customers, which is a big attraction for book lovers.
For book lovers, the most important thing is to get books on time. Therefore, you need to find a reliable online bookstore that will be able to provide fast deliveries (递送).
Here are some tips to use when you are choosing an online bookstore. Some online bookstores are popular for fiction books; some are for non-fiction books or novels, etc. Understanding their specialization will help you get the right kind of book in time. Check whether you will buy the books from a third party seller or directly from the website. Although he online bookstore could be reputable (声誉好的), third party sellers advertised on its site may not have a good reputation. Never jump at stores that offer super cheap prices, as books sold at such low prices could be in very bad condition.
Most of the popular online bookstores offer useful tools. One tool is a wish list tool on the website. You can change the list of books you wish to buy in the future. The bookstore will know what you want and will e-mail you immediately when the book of your choice is available.
