What was the last thing you did before going to bed last night?You were probably on a device (设备): reading emails, surfing the web or checking social media.
You’re not alone.A study by the National Sleep Foundation shows 48% of American adults use devices such as phones or laptops in bed.
Unlike reading and watching TV, modern devices are interactive (互动的) rather than passive.Their connectivity to the outside world comes into the bedroom.
It appears there is a marked difference between staying up late with a good book or watching television in bed and using smartphones and laptops.The way we interact with electronic devices allows them to eat into far more of the time we should be asleep, according to researchers.
“These devices are causing sleep procrastination (拖延),” says Marthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley.
“Sending a text message, posting something on Facebook or checking your email means you are waiting for a response and revs up your emotional nervous system.”
Ben Carter, a professor at King’s College London, conducted a review of 20 studies into the effect of technology on children’s sleep patterns, finding even those who did not use phones or other devices before bed but had them in their bedrooms, slept less deeply than those who left their devices in another room.
“It is perhaps the biggest unaddressed public health problem of our time.Sleep is necessary for a wide range of functions that serve our health and well-being.” says Colin Espie, a professor of sleep medicine at the University of Oxford.
Yet surprisingly, Walker says technology itself may hold the answer to control our sleep.There are already many devices on the market that claim to monitor and aid people in sleeping.And Walker hopes to use machine-learning technology to produce new ways to help those who are not sleeping properly.

Boom said at the Paris Air Show Tuesday that passengers could fly between London and New York aboard a supersonic (超音速的) commercial airplane in about 2.5 hours within the next six years.The company also aims to shuttle passengers from San Francisco to Tokyo in 5.5 hours, vs. the current 11-hour travel time.Flights from Los Angeles to Sydney would take just under 7 hours, compared with the current 15 hours.
“Airlines are eager to find something new and different to offer their passengers — and we’re thrilled that major world airlines share our idea of a future of faster, more accessible supersonic travel,” Blake Scholl, Boom’s founder, said at the show.Five airlines have already placed more than 70 orders for Boom’s faster-than-sound passenger airliners, the company announced.
Some experts, however, are skeptical that Boom can make its idea a reality and offer a product that makes financial sense.The European aircraft Concorde, which ended its transatlantic supersonic flight in 2003, was never commercially workable, and with an airfare of $20,000, appealed to only a very narrow slice of travelers, said Robert Mann, an airline industry expert.Fuel economy, unproven technology, and regulations against supersonic commercial flight are key difficulties Boom faces, Mann said.
There are also some travel limitations.The United States and many other countries do
not allow supersonic commercial flights over land, because of the loud shock wave that can be annoying to communities below.But a Boom spokesman said that its passenger airliner is being designed to minimize the noise it makes and that Boom will work to change those regulations.
The company said that it will succeed where Concorde failed because Boom is using better engines and improved materials to help reduce the costs of operating its aircraft.And a businessclass ticket from New York to London could cost $5,000, Boom estimates (估计), far less than the $20,000 charged by Concorde.
语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。从纽约到伦敦仅需2.5小时,这可能吗?美国一家航空航天公司Boom在巴黎航空展上宣布他们的超音速飞机有望在六年内将此变为现实。
5.In which aspect will Boom’s new airplane stand out?

Shopping for and choosing clothes is challenging enough.But imagine if you were unable to use your arms to do anything, or used a wheelchair.
The conditions are reality for four people who became the “customers” of 15 students at Parsons School of Design at the New School this year.The students spent their spring term creating clothing to fit their customers’ unique requirements as part of a class run by Open Style Lab, a nonprofit organization whose aim is to design functional and fashionable clothing for people with disabilities.
“Disability overlaps (重叠) with aging and universal design,” said Grace Jun, the director of the program.“We need to see it as part of our life cycle.It’s something that we need to not only see from a human rights standpoint but also for its economic value.”
“I’m always looking at me being the problem and the clothing as being OK,” said Kieran Kern, who gets around in a wheelchair.When Ms.Kern approached Open Style Lab, she was looking for a coat that would be easy to put on with the limitations of a weaker body.Her team came up with a design with a circular rod (杆) that runs through the collar and allows Ms.Kern to swing the coat across her back with one hand.
“The idea of having a coat that sees the parts that make me as just parts and not as a problem that I need to solve was really liberating in an identity sense,” Ms.Kern said.“Because generally, when you have a different body, you don’t really see yourself.”
“I think the challenges the students faced throughout the course had a lot to do with the exchange of ideas,” Ms.Jun said.“They were able to understand that no two people with a disability are alike.Being able to design uniquely means you have to have a collaborative (合作的) process.We’re designing with each other, not for.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个旨在为残疾人设计实用且时尚的服装的项目。这个项目不仅改变了残疾人的自我认知,而且使学生设计者受益良多,促进了人与人之间的交流,增强了他们的团队合作意识。
9.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Aging. B.Disability.
C.Design. D.The program.
解析:选B 代词指代题。第三段第一句说到“残疾往往与衰老和千篇一律的设计联系在一起”,结合本项目的目标——为残疾人设计实用的、时尚的服装,我们可知此处Grace Jun是说“我们需要把残疾这个问题当作生活的一部分。我们不仅需要从人权的角度去看待,也需要从经济价值方面看待残疾问题”。所以it指代的就是上文提到的Disability。
★10.What’s Ms.Kern’s attitude towards what Open Style Lab is doing?
A.Favorable. B.Skeptical.
C.Uninterested. D.Dissatisfied.
解析:选A 观点态度题。根据Kieran Kern在第四段中谈到的“I’m always looking at me being the problem and the clothing as being OK”和第五段中谈到的可知,她认为这个项目改变了她对自我的认知,故选Favorable (赞成的)。
11.What did the students find challenging according to Ms.Jun?
A.Creativity in fashion design.
B.Interpersonal communication.
C.Making clothing part of a wearer.
D.Meeting the needs of the disabled.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容“I think the challenges the students faced throughout the course ...you have to have a collaborative (合作的) process.We’re designing with each other, not for.”可知,在为残疾人设计服装时,交流和合作是必需的,这也正是挑战所在。
12.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Open Style Lab
B.A new fashion industry
C.Disability is no longer a problem
D.Designs that do more than meet the eye
解析:选D 标题归纳题。第二段点明了文章的主旨——一个为残疾人设计实用且时尚的服装的项目。D项作标题符合这一主旨。“Designs that do more than meet the eye”表明了这些设计除视觉效果之外还具有实用性。

(2018·郑州第二次质量检测)Eight years before his death in 1896, Alfred Nobel was surprised to read an obituary (讣告) in the local newspaper.This was a strange obituary, for it told Alfred Nobel, the man who was reading it, that he was dead.The newspaper had confused Alfred with his brother, Ludvig, who had recently died.
Nobel was shocked to read that he had passed away, and he was even more annoyed by the title of his obituary:The merchant of death is dead.Alfred was a very rich and successful armaments manufacturer (武器制造商).
This incident got him thinking about his reputation.What would people think of him after his real death? Would they really say “That was a man who profited from killing”? It was this thought that led him to leave his money — a huge amount of it — for the founding of the famous Nobel prizes.His aim was for his money to be used to support the ongoing
quest (追求) for excellence in the sciences and literature, and the ideal of peace.Thousands of men and women have been honored since the first awards were given out in 1901.The awards let the world know about the developments that may have a huge effect on our lives.
However, the prizes are controversial sometimes.There is often protest (抗议) at the award of the Peace Prize when not everyone thinks that the awardwinners deserve the award.Even the award for literature has sometimes been criticized because the award committee often neglects important writers.The highly influential novelists James Joyce and Marcel Proust, for example, were never honored by the Swedish Academy.
Still, for the most part the awards don’t cause many complaints.Alfred Nobel founded the prizes to recognize those who have had “the greatest benefit to mankind” and few would disagree that most of the prizewinners — among them, Albert Einstein and Martin Luther King Jr. — have made contributions that deserve to be honored and remembered.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了诺贝尔奖设立的来历。
13.How did Alfred Nobel feel when he read the obituary in the newspaper?
A.Sad and worried. B.Shocked and upset.
C.Surprised and confused. D.Amused and puzzled.

14.What did Alfred Nobel decide to do after reading the obituary?
A.Seek excellence in the sciences.
B.Donate all his money to the charity.
C.Stop producing any killing weapons.
D.Set up the Nobel prizes with his money.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It was this thought that led him to leave his money — a huge amount of it — for the founding of the famous Nobel prizes.”可知,阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔看到这则讣告之后,想了很多,最终决定把他大笔的钱用于设立著名的诺贝尔奖,故选D。
15.Why does the author mention James Joyce and Marcel Proust?
A.To show the controversy of some Nobel prizes.
B.To give examples of influential Nobel prizewinners.
C.To explain the standard of giving out the Nobel prizes.
D.To prove the influence of the Nobel prizes on literature.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第四段第三句“Even the award for literature has sometimes been criticized because the award committee often neglects important writers.”
(即便是诺贝尔文学奖有时候也会受到批评,因为奖项委员会经常会忽视重要的作家。)可知,作者以这两个人为例,是为了说明有时诺贝尔奖是存在争议的。
★16.What does the author think of the Nobel prizes?
A.There should be more female winners.
B.There are too many controversial winners.
C.They have honored many worthy winners.
D.The committee should be more selective.
解析:选C 观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“few would disagree that most of the prizewinners ...deserve to be honored and remembered”可知,作者认为诺贝尔奖奖励了很多值得赞赏的人,故选C。
