Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. However, many Chinese do not sleep well, and many do not pay enough attention to sleep.The Chinese Medical Doctor Association released the 2013 China Sleep Quality Index (指数) on March 19 to mark World Sleep Day March 21.According to the index, nearly a quarter of Chinese people dont sleep well. Half said that they feel tired after getting up and 15 percent people have trouble falling asleep.Ye Jingying, a sleep expert at Beijing Tongren Hospital, says: “If people often wake up during the night, or always feel weak and tired in the day, they should pay attention to their sleep pattern (模式).”Many people play with their cell phones or iPads before sleeping. The report said that this is one of the main reasons for bad sleep. Other reasons include stress and bad moods.How to sleep well? Above all, get enough sleep. Seven to nine hours of sleep every night is perfect for an adult, and eight to nine hours is best for a teenager.Forming good sleep habits is important. The report suggested that people need to keep away from digital devices (数码产品) for at least an hour before sleep. The lights keep their brains excited for a long while. Other suggestions include: try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays, and do the same relaxing things before bed each night, like listening to soft music.34.

They used different parts of the plants the roots, the leaves, the flowers, and the bark (树皮). Today, doctors have rediscovered more medicinal (药用) values of some plants. Lets look at some examples. Foxglove is a common plant. People have used it to make the heart slow down. Recently scientists have developed another drug from it. This new drug helps prevent other heart problems. In some areas, malaria has been a problem. Scientists have learned that the bark of a South American tree, the cinchona, can be made into a drug to prevent malaria. For a long time, the Chinese have known that a special plant, wormwood, can also fight malaria. Scientists have been working with it to develop new drugs against malaria. In Germany, some scientists studied garlic (大蒜) for four years. They found that it helps prevent the build-up of plaque (血小板) because too much plaque is bad for health. This very common plant continues to be studied.As we know, there are about 250,000 kinds of flowering plants in the world. Scientists have only studied little more than one percent of plants for their medicinal value. Maybe medicines for AIDS and cancer will be made from the other 99 percent.38. What can foxglove be used for?A. Studying plants. B. Building up the plaque. C. Treating AIDS and cancer. D. Preventing heart problems.39. What does the underlined word “malaria” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)? A. A drug. B. A plant. C. An illness. D. An animal.40. How many plants are mentioned in the passage? A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 641. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Past and future B. Plants and medicine C. Health and illness D. Scientists and doctorsDI learned about life from an ant farm. When I was seven years old, my family created one. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box and put the ants into it. Soon they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. With my moms help, I kept a record of what happened each day and named the ants. One day when I had put my face close to the structure (building), accidentally I knocked it over, and all the tunnels fell in. Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother reported that the ants were dying of “frustration (挫折)”. They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed. Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Over the years, I came to realize the ants have the spirit of teamwork. Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. Day in and day out, each worked at their task. The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance (毅力) are indeed the keys to success. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment. So I try to live my life like those hardworking ants. But, unlike them, I try not to let frustration defeat (击败) me. I will have to keep building my tunnels. 42. The family created an ant farm in a glass box because it was easy _.A. for the ants to live in B. to get sunlight inC. to keep the sand clean D. for the boy to watch43. Which of the following is NOT the lesson from the ant farm?A. The ants have the spirit of teamwork. B. The ants give up when they face frustration. C. The ants should be admired for their hard work. D. Teamwork and perseverance are indeed the keys to success. 44. Whats the writers purpose of writing the passage?A. To share a personal experience. B. To tell readers a story about ants. C. To warn readers not to build an ant farm. D. To call on readers to learn from the ants. 45. What did the writer think of the ants? A. Persistent (执着) and friendly. B. Selfish and foolish. C. Clumsy (愚笨的) and lazy. D. Hard-working but pessimistic (悲观). 第卷（非选择题 共60分）第II卷共36小题，答案请按要求写在答题纸上。 四、词汇（本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)A. 请根据句意或括号中的中文提示、英文释义，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。(每小题1分，共5分) 46.

This person is a hero because he or she has done something to help protect animals in danger. Huang Jing decided to write a letter to the President of China.Dear Mr. President,I have been doing a project at school recently about animals in danger. I think the situation all over the world is really terrible. I am writing to you to suggest what China should do to help protect animals more.I know that there are nearly 2,000 nature reserves in China, which is good. I live in Beijing and there are about 30 reserves outside the city. We visited one of them last month to see for ourselves.I feel so sorry for the giant panda. Its one of the most popular animals in the world and a real symbol of China. We learned that pandas mainly live on bamboo, and that a panda can eat half its body weight of bamboo in 24 hours! Thats a lot of bamboo. I think we should try to do more to stop cutting down forests. Pandas are already a rare animal and it would be so sad if they became extinct (灭绝) forever.The other animal we should try to protect more is the Chinese alligator (扬子鳄). These creatures live in some parts of eastern China. These beautiful animals live in freshwater rivers and lakes but the water in some places isnt clean enough for them to live in. Its really dirty in fact. The government should stop factories polluting the lakes and rivers. If we protect these beautiful animals in China, more foreigners may wish to visit China to see them. They could be an important tourist attraction. It would be good if more people came to visit our beautiful country, especially to see the quieter areas in the country. Now most visitors just see the cities. I hope you will encourage more people to think about such an important subject.Sincerely yours,Huang Jing76. Whats Huang Jings project at school about?77. What animals did Huang Jing talk about in his letter? 78. How much bamboo can a panda eat in 24 hours?79. Why is the water in some places too dirty for alligators to live in?80. If you are a hero of the month like Huang Jing, what else will you possibly do to help protect the animals in danger? （请自拟一句话回答）八、书面表达 (共20分)根据下面的提示用英语写一篇日记，记录4月14日（星期天）你和你的朋友李明一起参观南通博物馆的经过。内容要点距离博物馆离家约五公里交通工具骑自行车时间八点出发，十二点回家内容看到了许多照片、实物等，看见了许多孩子和他们的家长收获与感受（请考生自拟
