21、   For many Daylight Saving Time (DST:夏令时) simply means remembering to change the clocks and twisting your sleep schedule. “Even though the time change is only an hour, it is something that causes much more destruction than people believe,” said Dr. John Sharp, a psychologist and psychiatrist at Beth-Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. “It’s not just an extra hour of sleep; it’s more of a fast-forward into winter.”

With days getting darker earlier, Sharp suggests making a to-do list for activities after work ahead of time. “Any plans you have, say, going to the gym after work, require much more effort and determination. It’s much better to plan more carefully and not just rely on how you feel, especially when it is dark out,” he said. “Figure it out in advance and stick with the plan.”

In addition. Sharp says in the weeks after Daylight Saving, some may feel like they have a bigger appetite. “Eating more during this time is not the answer. People need to stay on an eating schedule and keep up healthy habits. ”

However, Sharp said there are ways to better acclimate yourself to the time change. If you are having trouble sleeping, he suggests taking some melatonin (退黑激素) in the evening. In contrast, if you find yourself feeling sleepy. Sharp said there is nothing wrong with adding an extra caffeinated drink during your day.

A word to the wise? One sure way to better adjust to the time change is to start going to bed 15 minutes earlier starting four days before Daylight Saving, adding an additional 15 minutes each night.

【1】Which is probably the best title for the passage?

A.Are you prepared for DST? B.Why DST was introduced?

C.What DST has brought to life? D.How DST has been popular?

【2】What does John Sharp suggest in Paragraph 2?

A.Getting up earlier than before. B.Sticking to the daily routine.

C.Being aware of quality sleep. D.Getting well-prepared for DST.

【3】The underlined word “acclimate” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by______.

A.adopt B.accelerate

C.adapt D.acknowledge

【4】The passage is probably taken from______.

A.a scientific report B.an interview

C.a speech D.a statement

22、   Eduardo reached into his backpack, searching for his cell phone. He was scared of having to spend the spring break at Aunt Letty’s farm. Although he had protested, his parents decided that spending time on the farm would be a great experience for him. They grew up on a farm and believed that responsibility, hard work, and respect for the land were valuable lessons.

“So, have you ever ridden a horse?” Aunt Letty asked, trying to turn his attention away from his phone. “Hmmm, no.” he answered. “Well, we’ve got a nice calm horse I think you’ll like. Hercules-sounds like a beast, but he’s basically a gentle giant-big, but kindhearted!” she said, smiling. Eduardo glanced at his aunt, annoyed that he was expected to work. He tried to text a friend but there was no cell reception.

The next few days were busy. The crow of the roosters woke them up, and they had breakfast before dawn. Then they went out to the barn to get the feed while the animals waited to be fed. The afternoons were filled with transporting hay, cleanup, and caring for the animals. At dusk, when the farm was finally quiet, Aunt Letty stretched her arms out and inhaled(吸气), “Just take a deep breath of that sweet country air!” Eduardo, exhausted from his chores, was unable to appreciate his work.

On the third day, without warning, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.” She led Eduardo into the stables. Aunt Letty was right. Hercules was remarkable!

Aunt Letty held her hand open for Eduardo to take. Reluctantly, he let her guide his hand toward Hercules and allowed the magnificent creature to sniff his palm. Softly, Hercules rubbed its nose and mouth against him.

“It feels like velvet(天鹅绒)!” Eduardo beamed. An hour later, Eduardo was scratching Hercules on his neck and offering him carrots.

That night, as they headed toward the house, Eduardo was inspired. His arms spreading wide, he inhaled and said, “Take a breath of that sweet country air!”

【1】Why did Eduardo’s parents send him to the farm?

A.To better his views on life. B.To show him the beauty of nature.

C.To change his attitude to Aunt Letty. D.To prevent him using a mobile phone.

【2】What can we infer about Eduardo from the last four paragraphs?

A.He discovered the horse was wild.

B.He realized working hard would pay off.

C.He came to appreciate the life on the farm.

D.He found Aunt Letty impatient but inspiring.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Aunt Letty’s Farm B.Sweet Country Air

C.A Remarkable Horse D.Busy Country Life

23、   Life satisfaction is the way persons evaluate their lives and how they feel about their directions and options for the future. It's a measure of well-being and may be evaluated in terms of mood, satisfaction with relations with others and with achieved goals and self-concepts to cope with daily life. It's having a favorable attitude towards one's life as a whole rather than just an evaluation of current feelings. Life satisfaction has been measured in relation to economy, education, experiences, and residence, as well as many other topics.

Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that have influenced a person in, a positive way. These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their goals. As a matter of fact, in these experiences there are two kinds of emotions that may positively influence how people understand their life. Hope and optimism both consist of emotional processes that are usually directed towards the reaching of goals. People who have higher life satisfaction are always full of hope for a better future; additionally, optimism is linked to higher life satisfaction, while pessimism is related to symptoms in depression.

The psychologist, Yuval Palgi, studied the old-old-people who were primarily in their nineties. This subject group was found to have thought highly of their past and present, but they thought lower of their future. A large factor that was talked about in life satisfaction was intelligence. The experiments talk of how life satisfaction grows as people become older because they become wiser and more knowledgeable, so they begin to see that life will be better as they grow older and understand the important things in life more. But when they step into their nineties, future becomes a luxury to them.

According to Seligman, the happier people are, the less they are focused on the negative. Happier people also have a greater tendency to like other people, which promotes a happier environment, which then correlates to a higher level of the persons' satisfaction with their life.

【1】What can we learn about life satisfaction from Paragraph 1?

A.It can be easily measured through income and education.

B.It includes a positive attitude towards people's entire life.

C.It merely determines people's attitude towards the future.

D.It has nothing to do with the evaluation of current feelings.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ?

A.The wealthier a person is, the happier he will feel.

B.Happy people are more likely to get along well with others.

C.Happy people won’t be influenced by the negative items in life.

D.Intelligence plays a leading role in determining people’s happiness.

【3】What was the attitude of most old-old towards their future?

A.They were less hopeful about it. B.They thought highly of it.

C.They felt satisfied with it. D.They were scared of it.

【4】What may be the best title for the text?

A.Old People Have Much More Life Satisfaction

B.Life Satisfaction—the Key to a Happier Life

C.Optimism Ensures Life Satisfaction

D.Emotions Affect Life Satisfaction

24、   Flying down a 488-meter-long slide provides plenty of excitement for most people. But for those who like more extreme adventures, Nicaragua offers an even more exciting slide experience. The thought of racing down an active volcano with only a board is enough to get most people hot under the collar. But for thrill-seeking sports fanatics, boarding down a 2,380-foot-high volcano at the speed of 80 km/h is the coolest sport around.

Thousands of travelers are heading to the foothills of Nicaragua’s Cerro Negro to take part in the new sporting craze (狂热). Surfers, dressed in protective jump suits, knee-pads and helmets, receive brief instructions and then try sliding down a short slope(斜坡). After that, it’s time for the real thing. Sitting on their specially-constructed boards, surfers push off and fly straight down a 488-meter-long slope. The black volcanic ash provides a dusty, dirty ride. But boarders usually arrive at the bottom with smiles on their faces.

Phillip Southan, owner and manager of Bigfoot Hostel and Green Pathways Tours, said, "We started offering this trip in 2005 and it has become so popular. This is a unique tour as nowhere else in the world can you board down an active volcano."

"What we offer is a tour for everyone with absolutely no experience. One of the greatest attractions of the tour is that you get a bit of everything. Since 2005, more than 10,000 people have traveled to Cerro Negro to give it a try."

"When you are on the top you will have the opportunity to stand near the crater(火山口) and see a smoking volcano. But the biggest risk is that you will take the chance of getting some scratches if you fall over."

"Many years of experience has taken this tour to a level where it is safe but still fun and for some people a little frightening. We are always working on ways to continue improving it for the future."

【1】Which words can best describe the slide in Cerro Negro?

A. Secure but tiring. B. Enjoyable but risky.

C. Popular but demanding. D. Worthwhile but painful.

【2】What does the underlined words "the real thing" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. It is available to everyone.

B. It has the longest slope worldwide.

C. It is based on an active volcano.

D. It offers specially-constructed boards.

【4】What makes the slide in Cerro Negro relatively safe according to Phillip Southan?
