It seems parents have long been right. Going to bed early is key to getting enough sleep and helping adolescents feel on top of the world, a new study reported.
A   1  of sleep among youngsters may    2  depression and suicidal (自殺的)thoughts, according to the study by the Columbia University Medical Center.
"Our results are   3  with the theory that inadequate sleep is a risk factor for depression, working with other   4  and protective factors through multiple possible causal pathways to the development of this   5  disorder," said lead author James Gangwisch.
"  6  quality sleep could therefore be a preventative measure against   7  and a treatment for depression," he added in the study   8  in the Friday issue of Sleep magazine.
The study followed the nightly habits of some 15,659 college and high-school students, and   9  those who consistently went to bed   10  midnight had a 24 percent higher risk of depression than those who turned in before 10:00 pm.
Night owls（夜貓子）also ran a 20 percent   11  risk of battling suicidal thoughts, the study added.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine   12  that adolescents should sleep at least nine hours or more a night. Those who were tucked in before 10:00 pm reported they slept    13  about eight hours and 10 minutes.
But that amount of sleep  14  significantly for those in bed after midnight.
And adolescents who slept five hours or less a night were 71 percent more   15  to suffer depression and 48 percent more     16  becoming suicidal, the study said.
"It is a common perception and societal   17  that adolescents do not need as much sleep as pre-adolescents, yet studies suggest that adolescents may  18  require more sleep," said Gangwisch.
"Studies have found that adolescents do not go to bed   19  enough to make up for earlier school start times, and transitions to earlier school start times have been shown to be   20  with significant sleep deprivation（剝奪）. "

本文說(shuō)明的是一項(xiàng)最新研究報(bào)告稱，早睡不僅是得到充足睡眠的關(guān)鍵，而且有助于改善青少年的情緒。完成本完形填空時(shí)，我們應(yīng)把生活中的實(shí)際和作者的思路邏輯聯(lián)系起來(lái)。
1. D 檢測(cè)名詞的含義辨析及在語(yǔ)意上的合理搭配。語(yǔ)意是：這項(xiàng)由哥倫比亞大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)中心開(kāi)展的研究表明，青少年缺乏睡眠可能會(huì)引發(fā)抑郁以及自殺的念頭。經(jīng)過(guò)分析我們不難看出此處應(yīng)該填上表示缺乏之意的名詞，也即是D項(xiàng)：lack，而其余的ABC三項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思：晚上，中度，限制，這些意思在這兒都不符合此處的上下文之間語(yǔ)言邏輯。故D項(xiàng)為準(zhǔn)確答案。
2. A考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)的含義準(zhǔn)確記憶和理解辨析。由上一題的分析我們能夠判斷出此處應(yīng)該填上表示引發(fā)之意的動(dòng)詞詞組，而A項(xiàng)就表示這樣的意思，BD項(xiàng)依次分別所表示：在于，出現(xiàn)，帶來(lái)，這些意思都和這兒的語(yǔ)言邏輯和作者的要表達(dá)的意義不契合。故我們選擇A項(xiàng)為最佳答案
3. D考查形容詞的含義辨析及在語(yǔ)言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。由分析，得出語(yǔ)境是：研究報(bào)告的主要撰寫(xiě)人詹姆斯?岡維西說(shuō)：“有理論認(rèn)為睡眠不足是導(dǎo)致抑郁的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)因素之一，它與其他風(fēng)險(xiǎn)和保護(hù)因素相互作用，通過(guò)多種可能的因果途徑，造成這種情緒失調(diào)。我們的研究結(jié)果與這一理論是一致的。我們不難看出此處應(yīng)該填上表示一致的含義的形容詞，就是D項(xiàng)：consistent。AB兩項(xiàng)項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思：相反的，混合的，明顯不是這樣的意思，而C項(xiàng)的意思最容易讓人上當(dāng)，因?yàn)樗囊馑际窍嚓P(guān)，不過(guò)也與上面的分析不太吻合。故我們選擇D項(xiàng)為最佳答案。
4. A 檢測(cè)名詞的含義辨析及在語(yǔ)言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。由上一題的分析我們不難看出此處應(yīng)該填上表示風(fēng)險(xiǎn)之意的名詞，也即是A項(xiàng)：而B(niǎo)CD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思：機(jī)會(huì)，潛能，原因等等都不切合此處的上下文之間語(yǔ)言邏輯。故A項(xiàng)為準(zhǔn)確答案。
5. A 考查名詞的含義記憶與理解辨析。由第三題的分析我們能夠確定此處應(yīng)該表示情緒意思的名詞，也就是A項(xiàng)。BCD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：身體，情感，意志，這些意思在這兒都不符合此處的上下文之間語(yǔ)言邏輯。故我們選擇A項(xiàng)為最佳答案
6. C 檢測(cè)形容詞的含義的準(zhǔn)確記憶與理解。聯(lián)系上下文的語(yǔ)境我們?nèi)菀淄评沓鲞@一句的語(yǔ)境是：“所以，充足、高質(zhì)量的睡眠可以成為防治抑郁癥的一項(xiàng)措施�！毖芯繄�(bào)告在上周五的《睡眠》雜志上發(fā)表。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境我們發(fā)現(xiàn)此處需要填上表示充足意義的形容詞，這四個(gè)詞中只有C項(xiàng)有這樣的之意，而B(niǎo)CD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：少的或小的，缺少，過(guò)量，這些意思在這兒都不符合此處的上下文之間要求的語(yǔ)言邏輯。故我們選擇C項(xiàng)為最佳答案。
7. B 檢測(cè)名詞的含義辨析及聯(lián)系上下文語(yǔ)言邏輯能力。由上一題的分析我們不難看出此處應(yīng)該填上表示抑郁癥之意的名詞，也即是B項(xiàng)：depression。而不是ACD三項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思：遭遇，紊亂，悲傷。故B項(xiàng)為準(zhǔn)確答案。
8. B 考查動(dòng)詞過(guò)去分詞的含義辨析及生活常識(shí)。我們都有這樣的常識(shí)，研究結(jié)果一般刊登在報(bào)刊雜志或者網(wǎng)絡(luò)。此處應(yīng)該填上表示刊登之意的動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞，這是因?yàn)槠溥壿嬛髡Z(yǔ)是study，它們之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故B項(xiàng)為準(zhǔn)確答案。而ACD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思：報(bào)道，反映，指出等等，在語(yǔ)言邏輯方面的都不準(zhǔn)確。
9. A 考查動(dòng)詞的含義辨析及在語(yǔ)言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。經(jīng)過(guò)聯(lián)系上文分析，語(yǔ)意是：該研究對(duì)15659名大學(xué)生和中學(xué)生的夜間作息習(xí)慣進(jìn)行了追蹤調(diào)查，發(fā)現(xiàn)那些經(jīng)常在午夜后就寢的學(xué)生患抑郁癥的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)比那些在晚上10點(diǎn)前就上床睡覺(jué)的學(xué)生高24%。我們不難看出此處應(yīng)該填上表示發(fā)現(xiàn)之意的動(dòng)詞，這四個(gè)詞中只有A項(xiàng)有這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)之意，也就是find的過(guò)去式。而B(niǎo)CD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思：調(diào)查，評(píng)價(jià)，支持等等都在語(yǔ)言邏輯方面不能與之準(zhǔn)確吻合。故我們選擇A項(xiàng)作為最佳答案。
10. D 考查介詞詞的含義辨析及在語(yǔ)言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確理解和應(yīng)用。由上一題的分析我們不難斷定此處應(yīng)該填上表示在…..之后意思的介詞，也即是D項(xiàng)，ABC項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的在……之前，從……，經(jīng)由……，等等意思，都不符合此處上下文之間的語(yǔ)言邏輯，故D項(xiàng)為準(zhǔn)確答案。
11. B 考查形容詞的比較級(jí)的含義辨析及在上下文之間的語(yǔ)言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。經(jīng)過(guò)聯(lián)系上文分析，語(yǔ)意是：研究稱，晚睡者產(chǎn)生自殺念頭的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)也要高20%，這四個(gè)詞中只有B項(xiàng)有較高之意。而ACD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：較低的，較多的，較少的，這些意思在這兒都不符合此處的上下文之間語(yǔ)言邏輯，故B項(xiàng)為準(zhǔn)確答案。
12. B 考查動(dòng)詞的含義辨析及在語(yǔ)言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。由語(yǔ)境：美國(guó)睡眠藥物學(xué)會(huì)建議，青少年每晚睡眠時(shí)間至少要達(dá)到9個(gè)小時(shí)，我們分析中不難看出此處應(yīng)該填上表示建議之意的動(dòng)詞，也即是B項(xiàng)。而ABD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：呼吁，叫或打電話，計(jì)劃，這些詞語(yǔ)所表示的意思都和這兒的語(yǔ)言邏輯不契合，故B項(xiàng)為準(zhǔn)確答案。
13. A 經(jīng)過(guò)分析，語(yǔ)意是：晚上10點(diǎn)前就寢的人稱他們平均每天的睡眠時(shí)間約為8小時(shí)10分鐘。這四個(gè)詞中只有A項(xiàng)有平均之意。而B(niǎo)CD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：有秩序，提前，在數(shù)量上，聯(lián)系上下文的語(yǔ)境我們?nèi)菀走@不恰當(dāng)，故我們選擇A項(xiàng)為最佳答案。
14. D考查動(dòng)詞的含義辨析及在語(yǔ)言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。語(yǔ)意是：但那些在午夜后睡覺(jué)的人的睡眠時(shí)間明顯少很多。這里的少就是降低的意思，也就是D項(xiàng)。而ABC這三項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：增加，消失，加強(qiáng)，這些詞語(yǔ)所表示的意思都和這兒的語(yǔ)言邏輯不契合，故我們選擇D項(xiàng)為最佳答案。
15. A檢測(cè)副詞的含義的準(zhǔn)確記憶與理解。研究報(bào)告說(shuō)，每晚睡眠時(shí)間為五小時(shí)或更少的青少年患抑郁癥的幾率高71%，出現(xiàn)自殺傾向的幾率高48%。這里的幾率就是我們所說(shuō)的可能性，而這四個(gè)都表示可能的這樣的意思。但是它們的用法是不同的，只有l(wèi)ikely的主語(yǔ)可以是人或者事，其余BCD三項(xiàng)的主語(yǔ)往往都是形式主語(yǔ)it，故我們選擇A項(xiàng)為最佳答案。
16. B 檢測(cè)介詞短語(yǔ)的含義的準(zhǔn)確記憶和理解辨析及在語(yǔ)言邏輯方面的準(zhǔn)確應(yīng)用。由上一題的分析我們不難看出此處應(yīng)該填上表示有……風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的意思，這四個(gè)詞中只有B項(xiàng)有這樣的意思。AＣD項(xiàng)依次分別所表達(dá)的意思是：看見(jiàn)……，在……前面，因?yàn)椤�，這些意思在這兒都不符合此處的上下文之間語(yǔ)言邏輯，故B項(xiàng)為準(zhǔn)確答案。

On June 5, 1981 the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, U.S. announced the presence of a rare, infectious disease in five American homosexuals(同性戀). Soon doctors were finding similar cases all over the country and the world. The AIDS epidemic(流行病)had officially begun. By 1983 it was clear that AIDS had spread around the world. More than twenty years later, AIDS has left twenty-six million dead and another forty million infected.  AIDS has become the worst medical disaster ever experienced by mankind.
Hundreds of young people between the ages of 20 and 45 died each week during the early years of the U.S. AIDS. More than 600,000 cases of AIDS have been reported since 1981 in the United States, and it is estimated that there may be as many as 900,000 Americans infected with HIV.
Though the rate of HIV infections continues to increase in the United States, the number of AIDS cases has fallen sharply since 1996, when antiretroviral drugs came onto the market. Unfortunately, the AIDS epidemic continues today in Africa and much of Asia, where antiretroviral treatment is not available and health care is far from enough. AIDS is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, and the No. 1 cause of death due to infectious disease.
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was first separated in 1983 by a team at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. That discovery made it possible to develop a test for AIDS and trace back to victims who may have died before doctors were aware of the disease.
However, scientists still don't know exactly how and where AIDS started. Finding the source of AIDS could be important in developing a vaccine(疫苗) and be important in mapping the future course of the epidemic.
小題1:It can be inferred from the passage that       
A．a(chǎn)ntiretroviral drugs will be obtained easily all over the world
B．the best way to stop AIDS is to develop a vaccine
B．scientists will soon find a way to cure AIDS
D．there will be fewer AIDS cases in the world in the future
小題2:Which areas are the most worrying places where AIDS spreads quickly? 
A．Africa.B．Asia.C．The United States.D．France.
小題3:The number of AIDS cases has greatly decreased in the United States due to the fact
A．a(chǎn) team at the Pasteur Institute in Paris succeeded in separating HIV
B．some effective medicine has been invented
B．scientists understand AIDS better and better.
D．The rate of HIV infections continue to rise in the United States
小題4:What's the importance of the discovery of the source of AIDS?
A．It can be used to develop a test for AIDS.
B．It can stop HIV forming AIDS.
B．It can reduce the rate of death caused by AIDS.
D．It can help develop a drug to prevent AIDS.

These are just a few of the many studies linking anger to   18  and emotional health problems, from the obvious to the   19  .

There is an old saying in English： "Laughter is the best medicine". Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people's health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films, while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing； it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be capable of reducing the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which tolerated the pain for the longest time was 'the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins （內(nèi)啡肽） in the brain. These are natural chemicals which diminish both stress and pain.
There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body's immune(免疫的)system, that is, the system which fights infection. In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group - in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells, that is, the cells which fight infection.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists （精神病學(xué)家） in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

The high noise of modern life may affect speech and language development in the very young, according to a study that found the auditory (聽(tīng)覺(jué)的) parts of the brains of young mice are slower to organize properly in the presence of continuous sounds.
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, reared a group of rats in an environment of continuous background noise and found that their brain circuits that receive and interpret (解釋) sound did not develop at the same rate as animals that were raised in a quieter environment.?
Edward F. Chang and Michael Merzenich, co-authors of the study appearing in the journal Science, said that the continuous noise delayed the organization of auditory neurons (神經(jīng)細(xì)胞) during a critical two-to-three-week period after the rat pups were born.?
For rats not exposed to the noise, the auditory cortex(皮層) neurons during this period gathered into a smaller area and began developing a selective response to sounds.?
But for the noise?exposed rats, this organization was slowed, causing a delay in the development of the ability to discriminate(辨別) specific sound tones. The researchers said it took three or four times longer for the rats raised in a noisy environment to reach the basic bench marks (基準(zhǔn)) of auditory development seen in the rat pups not exposed to noises.?
Although the rat is not a perfect model for what happens in humans, the authors note, the study does suggest that high levels of noise might possibly affect some language learning in babies.?
“These findings suggest that environmental noise, which is commonly present in contemporary child-rearing environments, can potentially contribute to auditory and language-related development delays,”the authors wrote in Science.?
The authors noted that although the brain development was delayed in rats exposed to the noise, their brains did eventually mature (成熟的) normally.?
小題1:The scientists at California University studied rats_______.?
A．of different age groupsB．with different habits?
C．in different environmentsD．from different areas?
小題2:The rats exposed to noise, compared to those not exposed, _______.?
A．were more sensitiveB．were duller?
C．grew up more slowlyD．gathered together more quickly
小題3: The result of the research mainly tells us that noise _______.
A．delays brain developmentB．stops baby growth
C．a(chǎn)ffects speech and languageD．destroys brains?
小題4: The findings of the research are said to have special connections with _______.
A．causes of noisesB．medical science?
C．other living thingsD．human babies??

D
Seeing a volcano erupt (噴發(fā)) is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the beat by climbing to the summit(山頂) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua. Giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won’t miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming. Hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit; the McKenney Cone(火山錐). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano is plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava(熔巖) and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night. the burning lava quietly falls down tae side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down .
小題1: What is the main purpose of this passage?
A．To attract tourists to Pacaya. B．To describe the beauty of Pacaya.
C．To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.D．To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.
小題2:Antigua is a city      .
A．where people can enjoy cultural festivalsB．where the daring Pacaya tour starts
C．that gives a close-up view of ParayaD．that is famous for its tour companies
小題3:Climbing to the McKenney Cone, people will    .
A．walk directly to the active summitB．hear the continuous loud noise from above
C．make greater efforts than to other summits
D．see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions
小題4: Many tours are timed for people to      .
A．get down the mountain in time when night falls
B．a(chǎn)void the smell from the upwind direction of the cone
C．enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky
D．a(chǎn)ppreciate the scenery of the 2560-metre-high mountain

Scientists say they have discovered a promising treatment for sleeping sickness, a killer disease that infects(感染) about 60,000 people in Africa a year.
British and Canadian experts say drugs could attack the parasite（寄生蟲(chóng)） causing the illness needs to survive. They say the drug could be ready for human medical test in about 18 months.
The disease, spread by the bite of a fly, is caused by a parasite attacking the central nervous system. It has similar symptoms（癥狀） to malaria（瘧疾）, making it difficult to diagnose. Left untreated, it moves to the brain, resulting in mental confusion and final death
The "breakthrough" came at the University of Dundee in Scotland, where scientists were offered money to research diseases ignored by major drugs companies.
Professor Paul Wyatt, director of the programme, said: "This is one of the most significant findings made in recent years in terms of drug discovery and development for ignored diseases."
He said the research, published in the journal Nature, represented "significant progress" in the development of a full blown drug against the disease.
The World Health Organization said there are between 50,000 and 70,000 cases of the disease a year, with a further 60 million people at risk of infection.
The research in Dundee was backed by partners at the University of York in England and the Structural Genomics Consortium in Toronto, Canada. The two drugs currently available to treat sleeping sickness both have problems. One is with side effects that kill one in 20 patients and the other is costly, only partially effective and requires long-time hospital treatment, the scientists said.
小題1:The word backedin the last paragraph probably means_____.
A．conductedB．supportedC．believedD．managed
小題2:What the World Health Organization said suggested that______.
A．a(chǎn)bout 60000 people died of the disease each year
B．a(chǎn)bout 60000 people were cured of the disease each year
C．600 million people are likely to get infected
D．the disease is spreading fast in Africa
小題3:We can read this passage______.
A．in the journal Nature
B．in a newspaper of the University of Dundee
C．in a book about flies
D．in a newspaper about medicine
小題4:We can learn from the passage that______ .
A．big drug companies play an important role in the research of the new drug
B．people who get infected with the disease are mentally disturbed
C．a(chǎn)mong 200 people infected with the disease, 5 may die because of the old drug
D． Professor Paul Wyatt may be a professor at the University of York
