19、y have.Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.Phipps found that worriers，those who stress the most，tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position.He found that this is the most common bedtime position，with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and
20、 head down.The more we curl up (蜷曲)，the more comfort we are seeking，according to Phipps.The second most common position is the log.Sleeping with a straight body，with arms at each side，as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，indicates stubbornness，and these people (the 28 percent who sleep
21、 this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.“The longer you sleep like this，the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible，which means you make things harder for yourself，” according to Phipps.Yearner (向往型) sleepers are next on the list.About 25 percent of people sle

23、 challenges of the day ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position.This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population.They sleep face down with arms stretched out.These people，according to Phipps，feel like they have little control over their life.Not only is
24、this the strangest of sleep styles，but also the least comfortable，and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.In conclusion，Phipps has only one more thing to add：“A good nights sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”5Whi

28、时作业(三十九).单项填空1解析：考查虚拟语气。句意为：John，不要按那个按钮。如果我按了，那会怎么样？if后其实是省略句，表示对现在的虚拟，应用一般过去时，故选A。答案：A2解析：考查介词短语辨析。句意为：孩子们在成绩方面的差异不可能完全从他们的社会背景角度来解释。A项意为“据，按照，在方面”；B项意为“支持，赞成”；C项意为“为纪念，为庆祝，向表示敬意”；D项意为“负责，主管”。由此结合空后的“social backgrounds”和语境可知，in terms of与题意相符。答案：A3解析：考查非谓语动词。句意为：刚在成都定居时，Maria发现自己很不适应这里的辛辣食物。分析句子结构可
29、知，此处应填非谓语动词，settle与其逻辑主语Maria之间构成主动关系，而且动作已经发生，故选A，现在分词作时间状语。答案：A4解析：考查反意疑问句。若陈述部分是一个主从复合句，附加问句一般要与主句保持一致，根据本题中的“I told Mom”可知B项正确。答案：B5解析：考查非谓语动词。句意为：你能给我介绍一款高性能的机器吗？我很乐意。因为这款车即使在潮湿的道路上也能运行很好，所以很受欢迎。handle和this kind of car是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用handle的过去分词形式，选A。 答案：A6解析：考查形容词作状语。句意为：这个男人喝醉了，睡了。当他醒来的时候，他发现他的鞋子
30、没脱。drunk喝醉的，形容词作状语表状态。答案：D7解析：考查动词词义。句意为：尽管他将文件仔细地看了一遍又一遍，但是遗憾地发现他仍忽略了一个重要细节。此句强调无意中忽视，故选overlook。答案：B8解析：考查动词辨析。句意为：据科学家说，我们的思考能力在 22 岁达到顶峰后，从 27 岁开始下降。所以用decline。differ表示“与不同”，shrink表示“收缩”，fail表示“失败”，均与语境不符。答案：D9解析：考查省略和动词时态。句意为：我不明白你为什么不按照我告诉你的去做，你已经是第三次这样了。在时间、条件、方式、让步等状语从句中，如果从句的主语和主句的主语一致，且谓语动
31、词是系动词be时，那么就可以把从句中的主语和系动词be一起省略。因此，第一空中，as引导的方式状语从句的完整形式为：as (you are) told to (do)；第二空中，在“It is the序数词timethat从句(that可省略)”句式中，that从句的谓语动词要用现在完成时。答案： B10解析：考查动词词义。句意为：当他开口说话时，他浓重的口音立刻显示出他来自中国的南部地区。 betray显露出(本来面目)，背叛，符合题意。believe相信；express表达；press压，挤。答案：D11解析：be superior to意为“比优越；超过”。答案：C12解析：句意为：他尽

33、折中。答案：D15解析：考查情景交际。答语语意是：为什么不呢？如果我是你，我肯定会接受的。根据答语第二句可知，对方认为提问者应该接受邀请，所以B项符合语境。答案：B.阅读理解语篇解读 一个越南人心系乡村教育，通过建立“父母图书馆”帮助学校提高教学质量。1解析：考查细节理解。根据文章第四段可知，老师的教学方法只是依靠听写，没有创造性。答案：A 2解析：考查细节理解。根据第六段内容可知，B项正确。答案：B3解析：考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，学生思考问题更富创造性。因此C项正确。答案：C4解析：考查主旨大意。文章首句点明了主旨：一位越南人希望通过建立“父母图书馆”来提高乡村教育质量。答
34、案：D语篇解读本文为说明文。肢体语言专家发现，人们睡觉的姿势实际上揭示了很多个性类型的信息。5解析：考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down”可知，“胎儿睡姿”的姿势是“侧躺，头朝下、膝盖往上蜷成一团”，故选D项。答案：D6解析：考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“indicates stubbornness”和第四段中的“you can become inflexible”可推知，该词与A项意思最接近。答案：A7解析：考查细节理解。根据第五段第
35、三句中的“Yearners are typically their own worst critics，always expecting the best results”可知，“向往型睡姿”的人对自己要求严格，追求完美。答案：C8解析：考查文章结构。第一段是文章的主题段落，点出主题；第二段到第六段分别介绍了“胎儿睡姿”“树干睡姿”“向往型睡姿”和“自由落体睡姿”等四种不同的睡姿及其对应的个性类型；最后一段得出结论。由此可见A项表明了该篇文章的结构。答案：A.书面表达Hi，Lazy Bone，I used to have the same problem！I used to tell myse
