11.About 35percent of British adults sleep with teddy bears.Many more share a bed with a partner or spouse.Others still co-sleep,alongside children in a family bed.
But lying with your iPad?A recent survey by marketing agency Rosette found that 68percent of tablet owners use the device in the bedroom,more than in any other location.The living room took a close second place,at 63percent,reports AdAge.com,and only 45percent of respondents said they use their tablets on the go.
But bringing devices into the bedroom is a bad idea,if quality rest is your goal.One of the most important factors of sleepiness is darkness,which signals to the brain that it's time to start speeding up production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin.But as the New York Times points out,in our modern world,we are exposed to light long after the sun sets.While any type of light can disturb your sleep,the blue wavelength light given off by cell phones,laptops,tablets and other gadgets is particularly troublesome.Research shows that this blue light causes alertness so decisively that it can actually be used to fight tiredness.
According to the National Sleep Foundation,95percent of Americans use some device,whether it's a TV,laptop,cell phone or other products,within an hour of killing time."Artificial light exposure between dusk and the time we go to bed at night push our sleeping sense to a later hour-making it more difficult to fall asleep,"said Charles Czeisler,Ph.D.,M.D.,chief of the division of sleep medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Instead,experts recommend turning off all devices an hour before bedtime and finding another method for relaxation,like reading a book,taking a warm bath or performing a series of calming yoga poses.It's also a good idea to exercise and lay off the caffeine several hours before bedtime.
60.According to a recent survey,most tablet owners use their iPadB.
A.in the living room                  B.in the bedroom
C.in the office                       D.on the move
61.What can we know from this passage?C
A.The light from cell phones is harmful
B.Modern people have trouble falling asleep
C.Darkness can create a good sleeping environment
D.Blue light can prevent sleepiness decreasing
62.If we often play with a laptop just before sleep,we'll be more likely toB.
A.dream of it     B.stay awake        C.feel sleepy        D.become tired.

分析 文章主要介紹了平板電腦在全球走紅的趨勢(shì).最近由Rosetta運(yùn)銷商發(fā)起的一項(xiàng)研究顯示,有68%的平板電腦用戶會(huì)青睞在臥室玩自己的平板.

解答 60---62 BCB
60.答案B.細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第二段的A recent survey by marketing agency Rosette found that 68 percent of tablet owners use the device in the bedroom,more than in any other location可知平板電腦用戶更傾向于在臥室使用,所以選B.
62.答案C.細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章第三段One of the most important factors of sleepiness is darkness,which signals to the brain that it's time to start speeding up production of the sleep可知黑暗能促進(jìn)睡眠,所以選C.
63.答案B.推斷題.根據(jù)文中給出的信息Artificial light exposure between dusk and the time we go to bed at night push our sleeping sense to a later hour-making it more difficult to fall asleep可知如果睡前玩平板電腦很可能導(dǎo)致失眠.所以選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 新聞報(bào)道解題技巧:第一步"看標(biāo)題信息",類似作文審題;而"揣摩記敘類型",則是指閱讀的審題目標(biāo)要比作文單一.即通過對(duì)題意的揣摩,要能辨出該文的記敘對(duì)象,是人物新聞還是事件新聞,是消息還是通迅. 第二步"抓記敘要素",這是由文體特點(diǎn)決定的.因?yàn)樾侣劦膬?nèi)容,無論哪種類型,一般都離不開人物、時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和事情的起因、發(fā)展、結(jié)果這六個(gè)要素. 第三步"理行文線索",即領(lǐng)悟文章的脈絡(luò)、順序,目的是理清作者的行文思路,借此可準(zhǔn)確地劃分全文的段落層次.針對(duì)考綱當(dāng)中C層級(jí)的分析綜合"分析語言特色,把握文章結(jié)構(gòu),概括中心意思"的考點(diǎn).第四步"辨敘述方式",即辨析文本主要采用的敘述方式,消息一般都是采用"倒金字塔"式(即先說結(jié)果,再說重要事實(shí),最后說次要內(nèi)容),這跟一般的記敘文不同.而通迅的敘述方式就比較靈活多變,有順敘、倒敘,中間或許還會(huì)有插敘、補(bǔ)敘.

1.If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile,you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems.Your humor must be related to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view.Depending on whom you are addressing,the problems will be different.If you are talking to a group of managers,you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries,you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.
Here is an example,which I heard at a nurses'convention,of a story that works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors.A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St.Peter.He sees wonderful accommodations,beautiful gardens,sunny weather,and so on.Everyone is very peaceful,polite and friendly until,waiting in a line for lunch,the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat,who rushes to the head of the line,grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself."Who is that?"the new arrival asked St.Peter."Oh,that's God."came the reply,"but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor."
If you are part of the group,which you are addressing,you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems,which are common to all of you and it'll be proper for you to make a comment on the uneatable canteen food or the chairman's bad taste in ties.With other audiences you mustn't try to interrupt with humor,as they will hate an outsider making unkind remarks about their canteen or their chairman.You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats(替罪羊) like the Post Office or the telephone system.
Look for the humor.It often comes from the unexpected.A twist on a familiar quote"If at first you don't succeed,give up"or a play on words or on a situation.Search for exaggeration(夸張) and understatements.Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences,which you can turn about and add with humor.

53.The story in Para.2works well because the story tellerD.
A.finds out the nurses'problems
B.shows sympathy for the doctors
C.shares the same opinion with the doctor
D.understands the nurses'attitude to doctors
54.The underlined word"twist"in the last paragraph probably meansC.
A.a(chǎn)ction of turning   B.laughing matter   C.unexpected change   D.extended meaning
55.Which is the best title for the passage?B
A.Add Humor to Speech                      B.Use Humor Effectively
C.Know Different Humorous Manners          D.Understand Various Types of Humor.

2.For medical students,real experience begins not in a classroom but at a teaching hospital.These doctors in training are guided.But sometimes accidents happen and the students get injured.
For example,they might stick themselves with a needle while treating patients.Such needle sticks are common.But a recent study found that medical students often fail to report them.Failing to report an injury like this can be dangerous if a patient,or a medical worker,has an infectious disease.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore,Maryland,did the study,which involved a survey answered by almost 700 surgeons in training in the United States.
Almost 60% said they had suffered needle stick injuries when they were in medical school.Many said they were stuck more than once.Yet nearly half of those whose most recent incident happened in school did not report it to a health office.If they had,they would have been tested to see if they needed treatment to prevent an infection like HIV or hepatitis.
Most known cases of HIV or hepatitis are reported,but other possible infections often are not.Martin Makary,the lead author of the study,says medical students who are stuck put themselves and others in danger from infectious diseases.
Doctor Makary said,"A needle that goes through the skin needs to be as sharp as possible."Doctors in training may have to do hundreds of stitches (縫線) in some cases to close the skin after an operation.
Doctor Makary said,"I support using blunt tip needles which are considered safer.This needle is still sharp enough to go through body tissue,but it does have a blunt tip,so that if it accidentally goes into my finger,it's much less likely to hurt me."
How common are needle sticks among health care workers?An estimated 600,000 to 800,000 of these and similar injuries are reported each year in the United States.But Doctor Makary says the real number may be much higher.
The study advises doctors to protect their hands by wearing two sets of gloves.It also urges hospitals to establish a special telephone number for medical workers and students to call if they are injured.The idea is for hospitals to send a clear message that there is no reason not to report this kind of accident.
41.It is dangerous for medical students not to report needle stick injuries becauseC.
A.they don't know how to treat themselves.
B.they may meet more needle sticks
C.it may cause some diseases               
D.it may make patients sad.
42.If they report needle stick injuries,medical students willD.
A.receive treatment                
B.be forbidden to use sharp needles
C.spend more time on training        
D.receive tests
43.The underlined word"blunt"in Paragraph 7 is the closest in meaning to"A".
A.not sharp           B.not safe           C.not long        D.not thick
44.What do we know from the passage?D
A.Doctors who don't report needle stick injuries will be punished.
B.Needle sticks among health care workers will reduce sharply in the future.
C.Most needle stick injuries happen in the United States.
D.Two suggestions are given to protect medical workers and students.
45.Where can this passage most probably be found?B
A.In an entertainment magazine               
B.In a science magazine 
C.In a storybook                          
D.In science fiction.
