Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.‎ Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up (蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps. ‎ The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.‎ ‎“The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps.‎ Yearner (向往) sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the best results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead. ‎ Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down with arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, feel like they have little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.‎ Inconclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A good night’s sleep set you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.” ‎ ‎11.Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection?‎ ‎ A. The fetal position. B. The log position. ‎ ‎ C. The yearner position. D. The freefaller position.‎ ‎12.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. A good night’s sleep sets you up for the following day.‎ ‎ B. Your personality depends a lot on how you sleep at night.‎ ‎ C. How you sleep at night affects what you do the next day.‎ ‎ D. Which sleeping position helps you sleep comfortably.‎ B Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and fairly deserted. ‎ The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely ‎ behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldn’t see his face and he was approaching us very rapidly. The man’s actions made my dad very nervous. Dad warned us that we’d better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didn’t like my dad’s voice; I could hear fear in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didn’t have any cell phones on us. I never saw Dad as worried as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of fear started to overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation. ‎ We could hear the man’s footsteps getting closer. Dad’s face was almost pale. The so-called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动贩卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all. Not a soul. ‎ It’s one vacation I will never forget. ‎ ‎13.Where did the author spend her vacation?‎ ‎ A. Near a lake. B. At the seaside. C. In a village. D. In a mountain.‎ ‎14.What does the underlined word “overwhelm” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ ‎ A. move. B. impress. C. control. D. excite.‎ ‎15.What helped them get out of the trouble?‎ ‎ A. Their quick action. B. Other people’s kind help.‎ ‎ C. The young man’s warning. D. The noise from the vending machine.‎ C Science has a lot of uses. It can reveal (揭示) laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal, The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.‎ Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?‎ To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of subjects. Because of this, you might expect the book to cover a variety of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unusual, and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and ‎ Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.‎ On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science. ‎ ‎16.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to________.‎ ‎ A. show the value of Brooks’s new book B. show where science can be applied C. remind the reader of the importance of science D. explain why many writers use science in their works 17.According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?‎ ‎ A. Its clear writing. B. Its convincing points. C. Its strong characters. D. Its strong basis. ‎ ‎18.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?‎ ‎ A. Cautious. B. Critical.‎ ‎ C. Contradictory(矛盾的). D. Supportive.‎ 第二节（本节共5小题；每小题2分，共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。‎ I used to be a thin little kid who was always the shortest and sickest in my class.

She is an ordinary but great woman.‎ What impresses me most is her strong will. Disabled as she was, she never gave in to the misfortune. On the contrary, she was more optimistic than before. As we know, it is difficult for the disabled to learn. But Helen Keller was different from others, she was eager for knowledge. Nothing could change her determined mind. Her determination made her overcome various difficulties. That’s why I respect her so much.‎ Whenever I think of “If I had the power of sight for three days, ...”, I can’t help being touched by Helen. From her, I learn that we should value what we have and hold a firm belief in life however hard it is. ‎
