Materials to teach teenagers how to get enough sleep will be offered to schools across Scotland by the charity Sleep Scotland. The purpose is to help people realize the importance of sleep for young peoples physical and emotional health(身心健康)The charity Sleep Scotland said watching TV and using computers and mobile phones at night could stop teenagers from getting the nine hours of sleep they need. It also offers a sleep advising service, saying getting enough sleep can improve grades and physical health. However, less sleep can result in being heavy and a greater risk of feeling worried and hopeless.The charity Sleep Scotland hopes to educate young people about why they need a full nights sleep and how to develop good sleeping habits. Most students find it very difficult to get up in the morning and pay attention to their study. Sleep is most surely a problem.Research shows that sleep time for teenagers around the world has got down in the past 10 to 20 years. A report by the charity Sleep Scotland said young people often believed they could make up for(弥补) sleep time during the week by sleeping late at weekends. However, by going to bed even later at weekends, they would actually have to experience a change in their body clocks, which would be harmful to their study on Monday mornings.（1）The first two paragraphs tell us that in Scotland _A . all teenagers have nine hours of sleepB . teenagers cant sleep well at nightC . schools havent had any lessons on sleep beforeD . many people feel sad and hopeless（2）What does underlined “It” in the passage refer to(指) ?A .

It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants, too.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe.For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war (战争). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today-a person who is new in a job.About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didnt have the skills that he would need to live in the hard, rough country.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution (革命) is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs.（1）According to the passage, a greenhorn means_ now.A . a young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developedB . a soldier who has not had any experience in warC . a person who is new in a jobD . a man who doesnt have the skills to live in the country（2）The meaning of the underlined word “ripe” in the second paragraph is _.A . 未完成的B . 成熟的C . 青涩的D . 老练的（3）Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right?A . If there werent the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat.B . The expression “the Green Revolution” appeared several years agoC . Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grainsD . Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution.（4）We can know from the passage that _.A . all growing plants is greenB . green is the most important color in natureC . a person with a green thumb can make plants grow wellD . the expression “a green thumb” has a history of two hundred years（5）The main idea of the passage is _.A . a greenhornB . a green thumbC . the Green RevolutionD . the word “green” and its story35. （10分）阅读理解Every year several thousand people are killed(杀害) on the roads in Great Britain. Every year between one and two hundred thousand people are hurt.

They think that they have to meet everyones need. It is very hard for them to say no. they sometimes feel shy if they say no, but doing things that they dont want to will make them unhappy.A simple and direct “No” is the best way. If you want to explain, you can keep it simple. Just say, “No, Ive already made plans for this time” or, “Sorry, Im afraid Im not free at that time.”Other ways of saying no:I cant do this right now.No, but thank for asking.Please accept that I cannot come.Id rather not.To say no you should:Start the sentence with the word no.Shake your head when you say no to make sure they understand. Your voice should be clear and direct. Keep eye contact.If someone makes a request, it is necessary to ask for time to think it over. The decision should be up to you, but sometimes it is difficult to say no. You can try to reply in the following way:“Sorry. I would have taken care of your cat next weekend, but I will be going out. I know it will be hard to find someone to take care of the cat. I will try to help you next time.” Remember that: you have the right to say no!（1）What does the writer encourage us to do?（2）How many ways of saying no are mentioned in the passage?（3）Who has a hard time saying no?（4）When you say no, what should you do as well?（5）If you want to refuse someones request, what will you say?四、 根据句子，写出正确的单词 (共10题；共46分)37. （1分）The day before yesterday Jill_(borrow)a book from me38. （1分）I want_you.
