第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch．They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness．Or，in summer，they may think it is the heat．However，the real reason lies inside their bodies．At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down．This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy．Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day．The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern．They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later．
In many parts of the world，people take naps in the middle of the day．This is especially true in warmer climates，where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon．Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any
13
climate．A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general．In countries where naps are traditional，people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease． Many working people，unfortunately，have no time to take naps．Though doctors may advise taking naps，employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance，however，here are a few tips about making the most of your nap．Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up．A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long．If you do not have enough time，try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．
21．Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A．Because you eat too much for lunch．
B．Because it’s hot in summer．
C．Because your body temperature goes down at that time．
D．Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night．
22．What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?
A．All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day．
B．Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t．
C．If you take naps everyday，you’11 never suffer from heart disease．
D．Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health．
23．What can we infer from the passage?
A．If you get up at 6：30 am，you’d better take a nap at about 1：30 pm．
B．Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health．
C．You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time．
D．You’11 feel sleepy at regular intervals（间隔）．
24．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Just for a Rest B．A1l for a Nap
C．A Special Sleep Pattern D．Taking Naps in Warmer Climate
B
The 87th Academy Award（奥斯卡金像奖） nominations(提名) were announced on Jan 15, and The Grand Budapest Hotel stood out as a favorite with nine nominations, including Best Picture. Check out some other Best Picture nominees to see if you missed any of last year’s top Hollywood films.
The Imitation Game
This historical thriller is about British computer scientist, Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch), the father of artificial intelligence. At the start of World War II, Turing was asked to join a select team of mathematical geniuses to decode the system the Nazis used to send military messages. Besides the actual breaking of the code, Cumberbatch’s portrayal（扮演）of Turing’s personality, a mixture of decency（正派）and shyness, is also a highlight of the movie.
13
Birdman
This dark comedy film is about how Riggan Thomson, a faded star once famous for his superhero roles, struggles to regain fame. American actor Michael Keaton, 63, who has a similar experience to Thomson’s, plays the leading role.
Selma
A stellar cast(主要演员) including talk show queen Oprah Winfrey may be one reason to see Selma. But that the film focuses on Martin Luther King Jr.’s struggle for civil rights（民权） also makes it worth viewing. Based on the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches, the film is a chronicle(编年史) of King’s (David Oyelowo) campaign for political rights for African-American people.
The Theory of Everything
We know English theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking for his significant scientific discoveries, especially his black hole theories. This biographical film reveals the scientist’s (played by Eddie Redmayne) secret romantic relationship with Jane Hawking (Felicity Jones), whom he meets and falls in love with at Cambridge and who later becomes his first wife.
Boyhood
American Director Richard Linklater did an experiment in this film, using the same cast for 12 years to record a boy’s growth. In two and a half hours, we see Mason, a Texas boy from a divorced family, grow from 6-year-old boy to a freshman in college.
25. How many Best Picture nominees are mentioned in the text?
A. Five B. Six C. Eight D. Nine
26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. Michael Keaton became famous overnight after starring in the movie Birdman.
B. Alan Turing is a talented and outgoing man in The Imitation Game.
C. Selma is the story of Martin Luther King Jr.’s fight for voting rights for African-Americans.
D. The Theory of Everything is about how Stephen Hawking discovered his black hole theories.
27. What is Boyhood mainly about?
A. How Richard Linklater did his decade-long experiment.
B. The wonderful life of Mason.
C. The growth of a young boy.
D. How Mason spent his college years.
28. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To analyze（分析） why these films were nominated for the 87th Academy Awards.
B. To give a brief introduction to the 87th Academy Award nominees.
C. To list some of the best nominees in the Academy Awards’ history.
D. To prove that the Academy Award nominees cover a broad range of topics.

As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic（恐慌）！You will deal successfully with them！You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility，you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed（知晓） about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine！Work hard and the right opportunity will present（展现） itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be
independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.
It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life's journey and there will be some people with whom you part（分离） and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!
29.The best title for this passage would be ________.
A. The Choices in Life B. The Key to Success

A. a period of complete freedom

C. an important time for the young to make the right choices
D. a very important period for young students to leave their parents
32. Who is the passage mainly intended for?
A. Teenagers. B. Teachers. C. Young parents D. Adults.
D
I got my first driver’s license(执照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew（更新） my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in
13
Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Catrolina driver’s license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. “Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said.
I argued, pointing to a very large belly(肚子)of mine,” I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “It’s the law, madam?”
Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it “No.” I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.
I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years-sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.
33. Susan got her first driver's license .
A. before she got married to Henry B. when she was twenty years old
C. after she finished high school D. when she just moved to Maryland
34. Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because .
A. she was forbidden to drive by Maryland law B. she lacked driving experience in Maryland
C. she was to give birth to a baby soon D. she insisted on signing for herself
35. We can infer from the text that in the U.S. .
A. American males should serve in the army
B. different states may have different laws
C. people have to renew their licenses in their home states
D. women should adopt their husbands' family names after marriage

In many countries, it is important to have many children. In the US, a few religious groups emphasize（强调） the importance of large families, but most people think one or two children are enough, and many couples have no children．___36___ Having many children would restrict the freedom and individualism（个人主义） of the parents as well as the other children in the family.

Dear Wang Gang,
Congratulations on your graduation. I am pleased to learn that you have made great progress in computer science. I know you have been considering whether to work in America or at home after graduation. Personally, I think it is wise to work at home.
Firstly, it will be easy for you to hunt for a good job in China. Now many big companies in China are in need of those who have a good command of computer skills. Secondly, with the fast development of our country, there are so many opportunities for you to put what you have learned to use. In addition, it is convenient for you to take good care of your parents.
I hope you can find my advice helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua
