24、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 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 people to have a good rest when they need to wake up in the morning.

【1】How many times did the researchers measure brain waves for 35 volunteers?

A．Once.

B．Twice.

C．Three times.

D．Four times.

【2】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

【3】The underlined word “calming” has the closest meaning to” ________”

A．pleasing

B．different

C．serious

D．strange

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

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

B．How researchers measure brain waves.

C．Why it’s harder to sleep in a new place.

D．Who doesn’t sleep well in a new place.

25、Do you sometimes feel different, alone or left out? Maybe yes. Recently scientists have done a survey about “being alone” among people aged from 3 to 60. It shows that teenagers have great needs to feel like they belong to a group. Simply having to eat alone in the dining hall is enough to make them feel upset. They are afraid of being called a “loner”.

But being a loner doesn’t always mean being strange or disliked. Actually, it has become a lifestyle in many countries among young people who consider being alone to be an everyday part of life.

In South Korea, there are a growing number of people who describe themselves as “honjok”. The word comes from “hon” (alone) and “jok” (tribe). These people eat alone, travel alone, and enjoy being by themselves.

In Japan, people have developed a strong loner culture over the years. There are solo karaoke bars and solo cafes. Ramen restaurants for solo diners are especially popular. Clapboards (隔板) separate each seat. Diners can’t see the faces of other customers or waiters. But knowing, that there are other solo diner mere may make you feel better. But more importantly, you can try to find strength in your aloneness.

Aloneness gives you time to look inside yourself or think about something without distraction. “It’s hard to feel lonely when you’re trying to develop a new skill, practice a hobby or try to find out a new cooking recipe.” wrote US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux.

So when you are alone next time, instead of finding someone to talk to or hang out with, you may want to try to have fun on your own. You can start by walking in a park or visiting a museum alone. It may seem strange and boring at first. But be patient. Give it time. You may finally find the beauty in being alone.

【1】Who might be more afraid of being alone?

A．A 3-year-old baby.

B．A 15-year-old teenager.

C．A 35-year-old mother.

D．A 70-year-old man.

【2】Which of the following is true?

A．Strange people are all loners.

B．There aren’t solo karaoke in South Korea.

C．Aloneness may help people feel strong.

D．People in South Korea developed a strong loner culture.

【3】If solo diner sees other solo diners at Ramen restaurants, he might feel ________.

A．sadder

B．more excited

C．more nervous

D．better

【4】What does the underlined word “distraction” mean in the fifth paragraph?

A．being influenced

B．being encouraged

C．being surprised

D．being supported

【5】Which can be the best title for the text?

A．Eating alone

B．Belonging to a group

C．Ramen Loner Culture

D．Beauty in being alone

26、Vicuna is a small town in the north of Chile. It is a great place for watching the stars. Although it is near the sea, the cold, wet air from the coast does not bring clouds. Instead, dry winds from the desert keep the clouds away at night. In fact, the skies are so clear in Vicuna. So it is possible for people to see many stars. They can be seen only with special instruments in other parts of the world.

In Vicuna, star systems(星系)far away can be seen without an instrument. This is why people choose the town as the home of sky observatories (天文台). One of them, the Mamalluca, is quite different from those only used by scientists. It is for tourists who like to look at the stars. Around the whole year, hotels in the town accommodate thousands of tourists from all over the world to see the night sky. The tourists live in the hotel and spend a lot of money there. The cloudless sky is a moneymaker for the town. So the town plans to set up even more observatories in another few years.

However, the town faced a serious problem. As the town grew, more streetlights were added. The streetlights made it more and more difficult to see the stars at night clearly. The town saved the night sky by building a new system of lights. This kind of light light up the streets, but did not influence the view of the sky.

【1】Where is Vicuna?

A．In the east of Chile.

B．In the south of Chile.

C．In the west of Chile.

D．In the north of Chile.

【2】What makes the Mamalluca a special observatory in Vicuna?

A．It is open to tourists.

B．It has cloudless sky.

27、   Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.

After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.

One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me — why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?

When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug(拥抱). I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless(无私的) she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mum.

I continued to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.

28、根据短文内容，从短文前的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将该选项前的番号填在答题卡相应位置。

The best-loved pig in Hong Kong is called McDull. His mum makes a wish that he will look like Chow Yun-fat or Tony Leung, but he is well-known only by a birthmark around his right eye.

Everything he tries, he fails. He wants to be an Olympic champion of qiangbaoshan （抢包山）, but the sport of catching the hottest baozi from a small mountain doesn’t really exist （存在）, of course. He dreams of going to the Maldives, but ends up on only a one-day tour of a Hong Kong landmark instead.

【1】    McDull was at first a supporting character in a story about his cousin McMug, a smart baby pig and “what parents expect of their children.” But interestingly, the wooden-headed McDull gradually became more attractive when he told his classmates that if he became the class monitor, he would treat everyone with strawberry cakes. McDull tried to speak out one sentence in his speech, “If you choose me, you will be...painful.” For him, it looks only a little bit different from an “A” when he gets an “E”.   【2】

【3】 In one of the McDull movies, he talks to the audience （观众）, “I suddenly realize that there is something you cannot have. No noodles, no Maldives, no golden medal, no money... Actually, being silly is not funny---it could mean failure （失败）. Being fat is not funny. Being fat does not even mean you are stronger. Disappointment is not funny, either. When I grow up, and face the strict world that isn’t funny, what should I do?” He is still happy, however. He always starts again with a new dream when one fails him.

【4】 The popularity of McDull sometimes makes his creator Alice Mark confused, who has some simple thoughts, such as God creates humans, because he loves humans and he wants them to be happy. “Maybe people see themselves and their friends in McDull. McDull makes people realize that they used to be as simple and happy as him. If there is a theme in all the McDull movies, it is about how a simple person keeps his or her simplicity in a world full of problems. 【5】  ” says Alice Mark.
