They were asked to get a good nights sleep for two nights.A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.The strangers also said they wouldnt want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people dont want to hang around with people who might be ill.Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious (无意识的), hut we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us.（1）When did the researchers take make-up free photos? A . After two nights good sleep.B . After two nights bad sleep.C . Before the experiment.D . After both two nights good sleep and two nights had sleep.（2）The researchers asked the strangers to do the following except _.

The people who were tired.B . The people who were sleepy.C . The people who were unhealthy.D . The people who were attractive and energetic.（4）What does the underlined word socialize mean in Chinese? A . 合伙B . 玩耍C . 交往D . 共事（5）According to the passage, which of the following is the best title? A . Beauty sleep, More attractiveB . More sleep, More FriendsC . Less sleep, Fewer friendsD . No attractiveness, No friends20. （6分）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。Yang Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told that her neighborhood used to be farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful park and supermarkets, Yang couldnt see any sign that food was once grown there.Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more. But these changes have caused problems too, warns Gan Zang chun, an official at the Ministry of Land and Resources (国土资源部).Chinese cities are growing fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller. This is really bad for the countrys ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers, said Gan last Monday.The country needs farmland to grow food for the people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale.Pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares(公顷) of farmland. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. It will be really difficult to reach the goal, Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming desert.（1）The article seems to tell us that _. A . farmland is in dangerB . countrysides are turned into townsC . farmland has been soldD . Chinese cities are grown fast（2）From what Gan Zangchun said, he is worrying about _. A . Chinas developmentB . land and resourcesC . Chinese peoples lifeD . illegal land use（3）What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert? A . 120 million hectares.B . 121.8 million hectares.C . 2.67 million square kilometers.D . Millions of square kilometers.四、 词汇应用。根据句子意思,用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当 (共10题；共23分)21. （5分）根据汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。（1）The little boy will travel _ to learn more about art.
