16、, “Get up!” Its just what every teenager goes through each morning!Now, there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9 am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school.Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside, Britain, recently decided
17、 to experiment to see if there is any difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour, from 9 am to 10 am. And the results are surprising.Since carrying out the later start, Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in truancy,_even hardly any lateness, and best of al
18、l, higher test scores. One of the reasons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep, but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep.The schools decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster, w

24、eens and adults参考答案.1.D 考查词序。such 与冠词的词序是:such a/an 形容词 单数名词。2A 考查“祈使句and/or句子”结构。3A 考查从属连词。句意: 这个女孩几乎没来得及按门铃门就突然被打开了,她的朋友们冲出去欢迎她。故选 A 项。B、C、D 三项在句中不合逻辑,故排除。4B 考查动词短语辨析。句意:他们站在那里睁大眼睛监视所发生的事情。pull over意为“路边停车” ;watch over 意为“看守,监视,照管” ;get over 意为“克服,恢复,越过”;go over 意为 “检查,复习” 。根据句意可知 B 项正确。5D 考查介词短语辨
25、析。句意:某种程度上我与你观点一致。in the way 意为“挡道” ;on the way 意为 “在途中,即将到来” ;by the way 意为“ 顺便说,顺便问一下” ;in a way 意为“在某种程度上,从某一点上看” 。根据句意可知 D 项正确。6A 考查非谓语动词的用法。由空格后的部分可以看出, “so many things”很多事情还没有处理,所以用不定式表示将来。句意:有很多事情有待于处理,我得工作到深夜。7C 考查副词词义辨析。somehow 以某种方式或原因;besides 另外,再有;anyway无论如何; therefore 因此。由句意“噢,要看情况而定。无论
26、怎样,它给我提供了一次尝试的机会”可知应选 C 项。8C 考查动词的时态。语境:近十年来,他一直在挖掘他的最大潜能,所以又获奖了。9B 考查不定式作宾补的用法。该题的关键是对俗语 “a cat on a hot tin roof(像热锅上的蚂蚁一样)”的理解。既然是像热锅上的蚂蚁一样,说明很多问题有待于解决,所以用不定式作宾补,在该结构中相当于省略了 for sb.,故选 B。10B 考查动词辨析。arise from“起因于,由引起” ,符合题意。rise 上升;happen 发生;keep 保持。11D 考查副词辨析。totally 完全地。句意:随着他的一切都失去了,他完全地绝望而自杀了
27、。hardly 几乎不; luckily 幸运地;sincerely 真诚地。12A 考查名词辨析。sign 迹象,标志。句意:一项研究表明你在老年时走得快是你会长寿的标志。 mark 记号; symbol 象征;signal 信号。13D 考查名词辨析。application 应用。句意:上个月新的发明将会在工业上广泛应用。 discovery 发现; profit 利润; guidance 指导。14A 考查短语辨析。A 项意为“结果” ;B 项意为“总之;最后” ;C 项意为“更差的是” ;D 项意为“再有;更有甚者 ”。句意:我母亲超过了年龄限制,结果她的工作申请被拒绝了。15D 考查
28、情景交际。A 项是见面打招呼的用语;B 项用于委婉拒绝;C 项表示非常感谢;D 项意为“无论如何,还是要谢谢你 ”。联系上句 “抱歉我未能按时完成”可知应选D 项。.“我”从小与邻里一些不同种族和宗教信仰的孩子快乐地生活在一起,20 年后“我”邂逅了儿时的朋友,那种亲切难以言表。如果我们让自己的孩子毫无偏见地和其他孩子建立友谊,那我们会成为快乐的兄弟帮。16. C “我”对周围发生的误解或冲突感到疑惑。17. D 根据上下文,出现的不信任和问题主要是不同种族的偏见造成的。18. D when 在此引导定语从句,指代前文的 in the early 1960s。19. A 根据上下文, “我”与
29、来自不同种族和宗教信仰的孩子们和谐地在一起玩耍和学习,故选 A。20. B a stones throw 意为“一颗石头掷出去的距离” ,即很近。21. D 根据上下文, “我们” 都接受彼此的不同( 包括种族和宗教方面 )。22. B 语境:我们的长辈没有向我们灌输没必要的建议,无论是善意的还是恶意的。well meant 意为“善意的” 。23. A “我们”一起骑着自行车到乡间探险,希望能有一些意外收获。explore 探索,探险。 24. C come across 偶然遇见或发现。25. D 有时,当 Ismail 想和“我们”一起去镇上做“我们”难得一次的购物时, “我们”也会很高
30、兴地让他同去。company 此处意为“陪同” 。26. A 根据下文, “我”20 年后才再次遇见 Ismail,所以是儿时失去了联系。27. A “我”向司机说明了 “我”的目的地。state 叙述,说明。28. B 司机确认了 “我”的目的地,但并没有出发。instructions 意为“指示” ,在此指“我”所告诉司机的目的地。29. D 他定定地看着我。 anxiously 焦急地,担忧地;carelessly 粗心地;disappointedly失望,均不合题意。30. A 根据上文,司机叫的是“我”儿时的绰号,所以“我”对如此熟悉的称呼感到震惊。31. D 由上下文可知, “我
31、”与 Ismail 再次相遇是经过较长的一段时间,因此 D 项符合题意。32. C “我”感觉到了一种真正的感情,一种难以表达的感情。33. B 如果我们能让我们的孩子真诚,没有偏见,他们就能与人建立友谊,而不管他们是什么种族或宗教。be oneself 显得真诚,自然。34. B 这些朋友将在他们身边与他们同甘共苦。 by their side 在他们身边。35. C 社会建立在这样的友谊上,那么我们就真的能像莎士比亚所说的“我们快乐,我们是兄弟帮” 。.本文介绍英国一所学校大胆推迟早上学生的到校时间,结果学生迟到、旷课现象减少,成绩明显提高。学校准备投票决定是否永久将这项举措保持下去。36C 词义猜测题。根据文章可知,自实行了这项措施后,在 truancy 方面下降了28%,甚至几乎没有人迟到。这里讲的是实行这项措施的好处,结合四个选项,可知选 C。37D 推理判断题。依据第五段可知学校推迟学生到校时间是有科学依据的,学生在早上需要更多的睡眠时间。38D 正误判断题。依据第六段最后一句推断学生下午状态更佳。学生在上午更易管理(貌似专心听讲),是因为他们在此时还没有完全清醒。39B 主旨概括题。本文讲了一所学校根据青少年的睡眠研究改变学生上学时间的事。结合文章内容可知 B 项作为标题能够突出本文主旨,又比较新颖。
