BA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good nights sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif it is milked from a cow at night. Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety. The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food. Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer. While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night. Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax. Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists remending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.24.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_.A.started sleep more easilyB.were more anxiousC.were less activeD.woke up later25.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A.Its been tested on mice for ten yearsB.It can make people more energeticC.It exists in milk in great amountD.Its used in sleeping drugs26.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Night Milk and SleepB.Fat Sugar and HealthC.An Experiment on MiceD.Milk Drinking and Health27.How does the author support the theme of the text?A.By giving examples.B.By stating arguments.C.By explaining statistical data.D.By providing research results. CModern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2D2 or the robot from Lost in Space, but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.Robots make great explorers on planets, moons, and other landing areas. Aside from the earth, just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Plus there would be plications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans, but also enough | food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never plain, they dont require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break. Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars history.28.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.The Development of RobotsB.The Discovery of Space ExplorationC.No Robots,No Space ExplorationD.Robots Are Used in Space Exploration29.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A.The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.B.It is dangerous for. humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.C.Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.D.Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.30.The underlined word “withstand” most probably means“_”A.remainB.bearC.defeatD.develop31.What is the writers attitude in this passage?A.Negative.B.Persuasive.C.Subjective.D.Objective. DIsle Royale is surrounded by the deep blue waters of Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake on Earth. The only way to get there is by boat or seaplane. The National Park Service operates shuttle boats that take visitors to Isle Royale. The boats leave from two Michigan ports. A boat trip to Isle Royale takes three to five hours .Waters are often extremely rough. Modern copper mining began in the late 1800s. resulting in large areas of the island being burned. This led to settlement development. Soon,Isle Royale became popular for summer homes. It became a national park on April 3, 1940. In 1980, officials named it an International Biosphere Reserve(生物圈保护区) because of its unique ecosystem. Isle Royale offers hiking, camping, boating, and even scuba diving. The National Park Service protects 11 sunken(沉没的) boats for divers to explore. They are reminders of Lake Superiors mercial shipping history. The sunken wooden ship called The America is one of the most popular dive sites. The America carried passengers, mail, and supplies to many towns along the shores of Lake Superior. It first launched in 1898, and was used until 1928, when it was damaged. It sank to the bottom of the lake soon after. Visitors to Isle Royale share the trails with a well-studied population of wolves. Scientists believe wolves walked there during a freeze of the lake sometime in the 1940s. Researchers closely record their population numbers. Much of the research takes place during the winter, when the trees are bare. The researchers fly over the island to observe the animals from above.Animal research is the only winter activity going on at Isle Royale. The national park is closed each year in late October because of the terrible weather conditions and reopens in spring time the next year. But for the other months of the year. Isle Royale offers green forests, and clear blue waters. Its excellent scenery and unusual location keep visitors returning year after year.32.What is mainly talked about in the first paragraph?A.The access to the island.B.The islands locationC.The islands natural environment.D.The islands basic information.33.How long is the history of the national park?A.More than two centuries.B.Over seventy years.C.Less than forty years.D.Over one hundred years.34.The sunken boats and ship are considered as_.A.a site where people seek pleasure and wealthB.a lesson that reminds people to remember the disastersC.an underwater museum where people can see many relicsD.a history book that shows the mercial shipping in the area35.The researchers fly over the island in winter because_.A.there are more animals thenB.they can have a clear look at the animals thereC.they dont intend to disturb the animalsD.the island cant be reached with the lake frozenIII 七选五 (共10分，每小题2分)Forgiveness To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.36Try the following steps:Calm yourself.37 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Dont wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way.38Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean being friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.39If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view.Dont forget to forgive yourself.40But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it.A.Why should you forgive? B.How should you start to forgive?C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D.Try to see things from your offenders angle.E.For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F.To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.G.If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.IV 完形填空 （共20小题，每小题1.5分）A Race Against Death It was a cold January in 1925 in North Alaska.
