Students who rely on working at night to improve their grades might want to sleep on that strategy：A new survey in the US says those who never study all night have slightly higher grades than those who do.
A survey of 120 students at St. Lawrence University found that students who had never pulled an allnighter on average had higher grades than those who had.The survey found those who did not study through the night had a grade point average of 3.2 compared to 2.95 for those who did. The study，by assistant professor of psychology Pamela Thacher，is to be included in the January issue of Behavioral Sleep Medicine.
“It’s not a big difference，but it’s pretty striking，”Thacher said, “I am primarily a sleep researcher and I know nobody thinks clearly at 4∶00 in the morning.You think you can do，but you can’t.”
Many college students，of course，have inadequate or irregular sleep，for reasons ranging from excessive caffeine to poor time management.
“A lot of students were under the impression that all-nighters were a very useful tool for accomplishing work，and that caffeine intake was very useful in meeting deadlines and stuff like that，” said Mr Chatani，who had a 3.4 grade point
average last term.
Dr Howard Weiss，a physician at St. Peter’s Sleep Center in Albany，said the study results made sense. “Certainly that data is out there showing that short sleep duration absolutely interferes with concentration and performance on objective testing，” he said.
“Some night owls do get good grades，of course，which may be explained by circadian(昼夜节律的，生理节奏的)rhythms，” Weiss said, “Some people have different 24hour body clocks from others，and may do better depending on classes and testing time.”
1.The purpose of the passage is to tell us ________.
A.the bad effects of pulling an allnighter
B.pulling an allnighter leads to sleep problems
C.Thacher’s doubt about all nighters
D.all nighters influence students’ grades
2.According to Thacher’s study，around 4 o’clock i n the morning is a time when _________.
A.one can think more clearly
B.one has his/her best memory
C.one can’t learn efficiently
D.one’s brain falls into a period of deep sleep
3.What can we know from Dr Howard Weiss’s words？
A.Thacher’s study is not convincing enough.
B.He believes in Thacher’s study.
C.Thacher’s study makes no sense.
D.Thacher should take exceptions into consideration.
4.An allnighter in the passage refers to _____________.
A.a habit of accomplishing work by skipping a whole night’s sleep
B.a drink to keep people awake all night
C.a person who falls into the habit of working at night
D.a way to improve one’s grade by working deep into the night

学海导航：本文是一篇说明文。调查表明，那些从来不熬夜的学生的学习成绩往往要比那些常常熬夜的学生的学习成绩优秀。熬夜往往不能保证学生有足够的精力，对第二天的学习活动会有很大的负面影响。
1. D解析：目的判断题。根据第一段中的“those who never
study all night have slightly higher grades than those who do”，并结合文章提到的“The survey found those who did not study
through the night had a grade point average of 3.2 compared to 2.95 for those who did.”可知，文章主要讲的是熬夜影响学习成绩。
2. C细节理解题。结合第四段中的“I am primarily a sleep researcher and I know nobody thinks clearly at 4∶00 in the morning.”可知，早晨4点时学习效果很糟糕。
3. B 解析：推理判断题。根据他所说的“that short sleep duration absolutely interferes with concentration and performance on objective tes ting”可知，他赞同Thacher的“熬夜学习效果不好”这个观点。
4. A解析：推理判断题。文中多次提到allnighter，根据全文的意思可知，allnighter指熬夜学习，而跟drink无关，B项不
符合文意；C项指习惯晚上工作的人，这和本文的意思不符合；
D项强调的是一种改善学习的方法，也不正确。

英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy and quick to learn English. There is even a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But many people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear. Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but too many cannot afford to do so. Some go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good pronunciation and intonation. Most teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making sentences. If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren't, because it would make it easier to use their methods. In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real. There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people to talk to and listen to when we communicate. They can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life language. （1）Many people believe advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses probably because . A. they are encouraged by William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens B. they are eager to learn and then believe them C. the ways advertised can help them to save time and efforts D. the ways advertised prove effective and helpful （2）What may behaviorists argue towards English learning? A. Human beings make more interesting noises than parrots and chimpanzees. B. Human beings should relate their speech to their own lives. C. Language is a formula with lots of repetitions and practices. D. Language is a means of communication. （3）What opinion does the author hold? A. A quick method that suits all the students does exist. B. English can be mastered within a very short period of time. C. Each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language. D. No one can learn English well without being interested in it.

Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept. We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half of the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter has only a part-time teacher. The special children's hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals on the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games. Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as "the library lady" or just "the helper". Children tend to rely on intimate school friends to keep in touch with school work. Once back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best as they can. Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed. 57. Which of the following statements is true? A) Every child in hospital receives some teaching. B) Not enough is known about hospital teaching.

（英语）英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析 一、阅读理解 1．根据短文内容选择正确答案。 D If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming. Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance. When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chan ces all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she w asn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted. She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ours elves. The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty. （1）From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that . A. being out of work is a sad thing B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting C. life in a film is more exciting than real life. D. chance never appears when we need it （2）What troubles Allison after graduation? A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job. B. She had no money to start a business. C. She was not sure what to do. D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school. （3）How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience? A. Uncertain. B. Amazed . C. Sorry. D. Satisfied. （4）What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析
高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.

Earlier studies have documented half brain sleep in a wide range of brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut,while the wakeful hemiphere’s eye stays open and also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once. Decades of studies of bird flocks led researchers to predict extra alertness in the more vulnerable,end of the row enough,the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze directions. Also,birds dozing(打盹)at the end of the line resorted to single hemisphere sleep,rather than total relaxation,more often than inner ducks 16 birds through the positions in a four duck row,the researchers found outer birds half asleep during some 32 percent of dozing time versus about 12 percent for birds in internal spots. “We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness simultaneously in different regions of the brain,”the researchers say.
