26、y a lack of sleep can produce hormonal(激素的) changes that increase feelings of hunger.In one study, researchers in the United States examined information on more than 1000 people. The people had高考#资￥源%网 taken part in a long-term study of sleep disorders. Some people slept less than five hours a night
27、. They had 15 percent higher blood levels of a hormone called ghrelin than people who slept eight hours. And they had 15 percent less of the hormone leptin. Experts say ghrelin helps make people feel hungry; leptin makes you feel full.The scientists say these hormonal changes may be a cause of obesi
28、ty in Western societies. They note the combination that sleep limitation is common and food is widely available.The results were not affected by how much people exercised. People who are awake longer have more time to burn energy. But the researchers say loss of sleep may increase hunger especially
29、for high-calorie foods, so people gain weight. It seems that, for survival, the body may be designed to store more fat during times with less sleep.Researchers from Stanford University in California and the University of Wisconsin did the study. They found that the best amount of sleep for weight co
30、ntrol is 7.7 hours a night. The Public Library of Science published the findings in its journal Medicine .

34、on the Internet nor in Medicine BSusan Sontag (1933-2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything-to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s,
35、 publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture. Seriousness was
36、 one of Sontags lifelong watchwords(格言),but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes on Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known s
37、et of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. “Notes on Camp”, she wrote, represents “ a victory of form over content, beauty over morals”.By conviction（信念）she was a sensualist, but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 198
38、0s , it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor published in 1978, after she suffered cancershe argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examini
39、ng old positions was her lifelong habit.In America, her story of a19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000.But it was as a all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end
40、, all I am really defending is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.61. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means Sontag_.A. was a symbol of American cultural life B. developed world literature, film and art C. published many essays abou
41、t world cultureD. kept pace with the newest development of world culture62. She first won her name through _.A. her story of a Polish actress B. her book Illness as MetaphorC. publishing essays in magazines like partisan ReviewD. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings63. According to t
42、he passage, Susan Sontag_.A. was a sensualist as well as a moralistB. looked down upon the pop cultureC. thought content was more important than formD. blamed the victim of cancer for being repressed64. As for Susan Sontags lifelong habit, she _.A. misunderstood the idea of seriousness B. re-examine
43、d old positionsC. argued for an openness to pop culture D. preferred morals to beauty65.Why Susan Sontag won her lasting fame was because of_-. A. her point which was suitable for common cultural view B. her lifelong watchword：seriousness C. her publishing books on moralsD. her enjoying books worth
44、reading and movies worth seeing C Nowadays more and more people are trapped in too busy work to relax themselves. We have no time to tell a bed-time story to our children, or enjoy a nice dinner with our family, or take a break to think about how we live the precious life, or even meet friends. All
45、we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us - between Sunday and Monday, public and private, here and there - are gone. We have more ways to communicate, but less and less to say. Partly because were so busy communicating. Maybe thats why more and more people I know, even if
46、they have no religious commitment, seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday, or to “forget” their cellphones at home. A series of tests in recent years has shown that after spending time in quiet rural settings, subjects “exhibi
47、t greater attentiveness, stronger memory and generally improved cognition. Their brains become both calmer and sharper.” More than that, empathy, as well as deep thought, depends on neural processes that are “inherently slow. ” The very ones our high-speed lives have little time for. In my own case,
48、 I turn to eccentric and often extreme measures to try to keep my sanity and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all. Ive not yet used a cellphone and Ive never Tweeted or entered Facebook. I try not to go online till my days writing is finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan. None
49、of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主义): its just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better-calmer, clearer and happier-than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. Its actually something deeper than mere happiness: its joy, which the monk David S
50、teindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesnt depend on what happens.” That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for-The Joy of Quiet.66.The writer sometimes doesnt do anything because _.A. he is out of work . B. whatever he does make no sense C. he is worried about his
51、writing. D. he can enjoy himself in his leisure time.67.When the writer uses the word “forget” , his real meaning is _.A. Somebody really forgets his cellphone at home.B. Somebody thinks cellphone is not a suitable means of communication.C. Somebody hates modern techniques such as the cellphone.D. S
52、omebody leaves his cellphone at home on purpose.68.Which of the following is right?A. It is better to go back to the ancient times since we are so busy now.B. The writer is unwilling to help others since he is selfish.C. Slowing down to find time and space to think and enjoy oneself is urgent.D. We
53、have more to say because we have more ways to communicate.69.What does the underlined word mean?A. difference B. sameness C. simplicity D. complication70. What is the main idea of the article?A. The importance of spending time in quiet.B. We can do some sports such as yoga to relax.C. Principle or a
54、sceticism is important in ones life.D. The more we communicate, the more we will be closer. DSuppose a key man in your firm had just met with a terrible accident. The doctor tell you that this man upon whom you depend for directing sales, checking your books or for performing some other important ro

Most people like traveling by car or by air. Officials of the United States Department of Transportation made a study in 2001
62、. The study is about how many miles Americans traveled by different means of transportation. They only studied trips longer than 50 miles. The study showed that fifty-six percent of all miles were traveled in personal vehicle. Forty-one percent were traveled in an airplane. Two percent were traveled
63、 in a bus. And less than one percent of miles were traveled in a train. Amtrak is the national provider of train transportation in the United States.

70、ear classmates:Its a pleasure for me to have a chance to make a short speech today. Recently, I have found that some of our classmates study late into the night and do not spare any time to take a rest during the day. So they often cannot help falling asleep in class. And some classmates seldom have
71、 breakfast, which is also a bad habit and will surely do harm to their health. In my opinion, its extremely important for us to have enough sleep and a proper diet. We must learn to make wise use of our time, and only in this way can we keep fit and study well. I wonder if you agree with me.Thank you for listening! 版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
