21、ghts sleep.But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin (褪黑激素)，which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study，by researchers from Seoul，South Korea，
22、involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk，which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime，according to the study published in Th

25、ke in before bedtime，the greater burden you will put on your body at night.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。长期以来，人们认为睡觉前喝一杯热牛奶有助于睡眠，但研究表明，只有喝晚上挤的牛奶才真正有助于睡眠。这到底是什么原因呢？快来读文章吧！9According to the text，the mice fed with daytime milk Astarted sleep more easilyBwere more anxiousCwere less activeDwoke up later【解析】细节理解题。由第四段中的
26、信息Those given night milk.were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime.可知，老鼠喝了白天挤的牛奶会更有活力，也更焦虑，故选B项。【答案】B10Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?AIts been tested on mice for ten times.BIt can make people more energetic.CIt exists
27、in milk in great amount.DIts used in sleeping drugs.【解析】推理判断题。文章中提到晚上挤的牛奶的褪黑激素含量是白天挤的牛奶的10倍，并不是说研究人员在老鼠身上测试了10次，所以A项错误；由第二段中的信息.help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.可知褪黑激素不可能使人更加精力充沛，故排除B项；由第二段中的信息.“night milk”contains more melatonin.可知，并不是所有的牛奶中都含有大量的褪黑激素，故排除C项；由第六段中的信息taking melatonin drugs
28、has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night可知，褪黑激素被用于安眠药中，故D项正确。【答案】D11What can be a suitable title for the text?ANight Milk and SleepBFat，Sugar and HealthCAn Experiment on MiceDMilk Drinking and Health【解析】标题归纳题。作者在第一段就点明了文章要论述的对象晚上挤的牛奶。在接下来的几段中，作者通过研究人员在老鼠身上做的实验论证了晚上挤出的牛奶
29、与睡眠的关系，所以最适合作文章标题的是A项。B项意为“脂肪、糖与健康”，C项意为“在老鼠身上做的一个实验”，D项意为“牛奶饮用与健康”，均与文章的主旨不符。【答案】A12How does the author support the theme of the text?ABy giving examples.BBy stating arguments.CBy explaining statistical data.DBy providing research results.【解析】推理判断题。文章的第二、三、四、五段都是讲研究人员的实验及其结果，所以作者是用研究人员的研究结果来支持论点的。文
30、章中没有给出具体的例子，没有单纯地陈述论点，也没有解释统计数据，所以排除A、B、C三项，选D项。【答案】DDOur brains work in complex and strange ways.There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40，000 years, but who cannot add two plus two.Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once,

37、idiots.【语篇解读】有些人可以说出4000年中的任何一天是星期几却不能说出2加2等于几，而有些人在仅听一次之后能弹出复杂的经典钢琴曲，但却不会读写。这些人被叫作“低能特才”，他们有心理缺陷但在某些方面却有特殊的才能。13What does the passage mainly talk about?AIdiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities.BHuman beings have complicated thinking process.CThe brains of the idiot savants are partly impa
38、ired.DThe reasons why people have wonderful skills vary.【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可以看出文章是围绕“idiot savants”展开的，并举了几个具有特殊才能的低能特才的例子，可知A项符合文章大意。【答案】A14Which of the following can be done by Rain Man?AHe can play wonderful pieces of classical music.BHe can guess out exactly the length of a mans life.CHe can memorize
39、 the contents of the pictures fast.DHe can count matches dropped on the floor quickly.【解析】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段的“with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly”可知Rain Man具有快速进行复杂计算的能力。故D项符合说明。【答案】D15What can you infer from the passage?AIdiot savants have real talents for art and math.BDr.Do
40、wn is the first person who found idiot savants.CFew people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations.DIntentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants.【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However few people wish to participate in such experiments.”可知很少有人愿意通过手术变成低能特才的人。【答案】C.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分

63、en.【答案】41ability形容词able的名词是ability能力，本句中物主代词kids后面要接名词充当宾语。42consisting动词短语consist of由组成，该短语没有被动语态，也没有进行时。本句中和meal构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词短语充当定语修饰名词meal。43but上下文之间为转折关系，所以使用but连接这两句话。44to句式when it comes to sth.当谈及；当涉及。45because句意：在上幼儿园之前让孩子养成吃早饭的习惯是一个很好的主意，那是因为吃早饭的孩子在学校里表现得更好。46to keep本句中it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式
64、结构。47the名词meal前面有morning修饰，表示特指，故前面要加the。48daily横线后面有名词needs，所以需要使用形容词daily来修饰。49probably本句中副词probably充当状语修饰谓语be pressed。50are本句属于倒装句，表示前面的肯定情况适用于另外一人，后句的谓语动词要和前句一样，本题中前面是系动词are，所以后面也应该使用系动词。.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加
