The movie she was about to see was a musical version (版本)of a very successful book that had sold a million copies that year.As the woman was waiting for the movie to begin, she noticed that the theatre was very crowded but the two seats next to her were empty.Suddenly a large man carrying a big fur coat walked down the aisle (走廊) and sat down, placing the fur coat on the seat next to her.When the lights went out, the fur coat began to move, and the woman realized it was not a coat but a large furry dog. He was sitting up in the seat, watching the movie screen with great interest. As soon as the movie started, the dog began to nod his head and beat his paws（爪） in perfect time to the music.When the movie was over, the woman turned to the man and said, “Excuse me, sir, but Ive never seen such a well-behaved dog in a movie theatre before. Does he go to the movies often?”“Oh, yes,” replied the man.“And he seemed to enjoy everything so much,” she said, “It was just amazing!”“As a matter of fact, it surprised me, too,” said the man. “He hated the book!”8What kind of movie was the woman about to see?A A movie about a clever dogB A movie about two film-goers.C A musical movie based on a bookD A movie telling of a popular book9What can we conclude from Para 4?A The man enjoyed the movie very much.B The dog made noise and disturbed others.C The woman enjoyed the movie very much.D The dog was bright enough to enjoy the movie.10What did the woman do when the movie was over?A She municated with the man happily.B She praised the man for bringing his dog.C She punished the dog for making noise.D She plained about the dog angrily.11In the end, the man said he was surprised because _A he didnt like the movie, but his dog did.B he enjoyed the movie, but his dog didnt.C his dog hated the book but liked the movieD his dog could enjoy the movie like a human being. D Do you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day？If so, you would be called an “early bird”. Perhaps, you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, youre probably a “night owl”Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way？And is one better than the other？There are different opinions.Usually, early risers have been praised as hard-working while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy. Most people believe the early bird catches the worm.Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus(集中) longer and produce more than early risers.Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines(常规)After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert(思维敏捷的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics(遗传学)may play the biggest role.It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if youre happy rising early or staying up late, youre probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.12The author introduces the subject by _.A telling an interesting storyB giving different opinionsC showing research resultsD asking a question13What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 really mean?A Those who get up early achieve their goals.B Early to bed, early to rise is good for health.C “Night owls” can focus longer than “early birds”.D “Early birds” are as hard-working as “night owls”.14What did the researchers find in a Belgian study?A Late risers bee sleepier than early risers.B Early risers bee as focused as later risers.C Late risers can think quickly after being awaken for 10 hours.D Early risers can think clearly after being awake for 10 hours.15What opinion does the author finally agree to?A People should get up early.B Whatever time suits you, its OK.C Staying up late is good for health.D Its impossible to change ones sleeping habit.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resetting your body clock. 16_Heres how to make one. 17 In order to make a change, you need to decide why its important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make. Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 18 Thats a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer. Keep your sleep/ wake schedule on weekends. If youre tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But pensating (补偿) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 19_ Keep a record and evaluate it weekly.
