DFall asleep.D解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句中“Any type of screen use during the day and in the hour before bedtime appeared to disturb sleep”可知，无论何种电子设备，在白天或睡前使用似乎都会打扰睡眠。由此可知，“making it more difficult for teenagers to nod off”意为“使用电子设备会让青少年更难睡着”。故D项与“nod off”意思接近，意为“睡着，打盹”。A项意为“停止，关掉”；B项意为“兴奋起来”；C项意为“集中注意力，关注”，都不符合题意。4How does Prof Russell Foster feel the study?ABeneficial. BUncaring. CDoubtful. DDissatisfied.A解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段Prof Russell Foster所说内容中“This is an important study”可知，他认为这是一项重要的研究。故选A项，意为“有益的”，符合其观点。B项意为“不关心的”；C项意为“怀疑的”；D项意为“不满意的”，都不是Prof Russell Foster的态度。B(2016河南省实验中学质检)Being an astronaut sounds cool，doesnt it？In space，they get to do some pretty amazing things，like floating in zero gravity.However，there are also plenty of things that astronauts cant do because of their weightless environment，and thats very sad.Whats worse，they cant even let their sadness showbecause its impossible to cry in zero gravity. Of course，astronauts can still produce tears.But crying is much more difficult in space，reported The Atlantic in January.Without gravity，tears dont flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth.This means that when you cry in space，your tears have nowhere to gothey just stick to your eyes. In May 2011，astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks.“Tears，”he said，“dont fall off your eyes.They just kind of stay there.” Besides making your vision unclear，this can also cause physical pain.Back on Earth，tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes.But thats not the case in space.The space environment dries out astronauts eyes，and when tears suddenly wet the eyes，it can cause pain rather than comfort.“My right eye is painful like crazy.”Feustel told his teammate during the walk. Since gravity doesnt work in space，astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears.Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away.Another choice is to just wait“When the tears get big enough they simply break free of eyes and float around，”astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic. There are lots of small thingsthings like cryingthat we are so used to on Earth.We usually take them for granted，until they become a problem in a totally different environment，like space.There，astronauts cant talk to each other directly.They also cant eat or drink in normal ways.They cant even burp(打嗝)，because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach.If they do burp，they just end up throwing up(呕吐) everything in their stomach，according to the UK National Space Center.Thus，perhaps its only space explorers who can honestly say：“Gravity，youre the best.”【文章大意】本文是一篇科普说明文。很多在地球上容易完成的小事，在太空中却难以完成，如流眼泪，打嗝。文章解释了原因并说明了在太空中做这些小事给身体所带来的疼痛。5What can we conclude from Paragraphs 2 and 3?AAstronauts are unable to feel sad in space.BAstronauts produce fewer tears in space.CTears produced in space flow down more slowly.DTears produced in space dont flow downward.D解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“Without gravity，tears dont flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth.”可知，由于没有重力，眼泪不会像在地球上那样滚落下来；由此可推知，在太空中时，眼泪不会滚落下来。故D项正确。6What effect do tears have on astronauts?AThey cause physical pain.BThey bring comfort to them.CThey make their vision clearer.DThey float around and cause trouble.A解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Besides making your vision unclear，this can also cause physical pain.”可知，在太空中流泪不仅会使你视力模糊，还会引起疼痛。故A项正确。7What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?ARub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward.BRub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around.CGet the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes.DGet the tears big enough to break away from his eyes.D解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段最后一句“Another choice is to just waitWhen the tears get big enough they simply break free of eyes and float around，astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.”可知，宇航员除掉眼泪的方法之一是等待泪珠足够大时，它会自行脱离眼睛而向周围飘散。故D项正确，C项错误；根据该段第二句“Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away.”可知A、B两项错误。8Whats the last but one paragraph mainly about?ASuggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space.BOther basic things that are difficult to do in space.CWhy burping is impossible in space.DThings that humans cant do without gravity.B解析：段落大意题。通读该段内容可知，该段的主题句是第一、二句“There are lots of small things.We usually take them for granted，until they become a problem in a totally different environment，like space.”，由此可知，该段主要介绍了一些在太空中难以完成的小事。故B项正确。.七选五(2016河北衡水中学模拟)Stay on the brighter side of lifeOne very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful.In fact，there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of wellbeing.Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what youre grateful for.1. Feeling down? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone，try acting like youre happyeven if you arent.A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain，so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well.2. Reassure yourself that everything is goodeven if you dont feel it.“3. If youre stuck in traffic，then everything else must be going horribly，too，”says Anne Parker，a wellness counselor.By blowing negative events out of proportion，youre setting yourself up for feeling down all day.Instead，acknowledge that youre stuck in traffic，but also bring to mind something good，like the beautiful scenery outside the window.That way，youll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness，but they take time to achieve.4. You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated.However，if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way，you will feel positive about your progress，which will give you the strength to keep going.5 Try making someone elses day better.A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with nonvolunteers.Plus，89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of wellbeing，and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life.ATry to help someone in need.BWant to give your attitude a lift?CPeople tend to think in an eitheror way.DAct in an optimistic waysmile，laugh，tell a joke.EYoull fail to appreciate more important things in your life.FBy focusing on not having accomplished them yet，you will start to feel down on yourself.GBy remembering the pleasant things in your life，you can actually turn a negative attitude around.答案：15.GDCFB
