Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful．
1.Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A. Because you eat too much for lunch．
B. Because it’s hot in summer．
C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time．
D. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night．
2.What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?
A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day．
B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t．
C. If you take naps every day, you’ll never suffer from heart disease．
D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health．
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A. You’ll feel sleepy at regular intervals（间隔）.
B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
C. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
D. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 1:30 pm.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Just for a Rest
B. All need a Nap
C. A Special Sleep Pattern
D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格的空格处填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Are you interested in writing a novel? Well, if you want to be a good novelist, you’re supposed to avoid some common writing mistakes, the first one of which is not having a thunderous start．The first word, first sentence, and first page of your novel will decide if the reader wants to turn the page and keep reading．Having too much unnecessary information at the start and keeping the reader waiting for the real story can make him lose interest and give up on the book．You don’t want that to happen．All is well that “starts” well．
It’s also wrong not to have decided on an audience before writing your novel．Decide what kind of an audience your novel will cater to．Once you’re sure who will be reading it, you’ll know what style of writing you should adopt, the kind of language you will have to use．This gives you a direction and enables you to write better．
Another writing mistake is writing with your head, not with your heart．Every kind of reader should be pleased, every character should be perfect, every character should be likable, and the novel should have a happy ending．If these are your thoughts when writing a novel, you are probably not thinking straight．Writing with business or monetary gains as your aim should be discouraged as that affects what you really want to express．Write because you want to, not because you have to.
You also need to avoid writing too quickly or too slowly．If you are writing too slowly, it either means you are just too lazy or procrastinating (延迟)．If you are writing too fast, you are either rushing it or are not giving yourself enough time to shape it．Neither of the two is healthy for your novel or you as a writer．Some sections might take longer than others and vice versa．Just maintain the required pace．
Using words and sentences that are neither appropriate nor rich is also a common writing mistake you should avoi
Words are all you have to make the readers feel what the character is feeling, to visualize what the protagonist (主人公) is looking at, or to imagine the coldness in the eyes of the criminal．If you confine (限制) your vocabulary to a limited set of words, you limit the experience of the reader．Anger is not the only word which can be used to express that emotion．Make use of words like fury, wrath, vengeance, rage and frenzy to express anger．Similarly, if a scene needs a dialog, don’t write a report or an essay there．Instead, spice it up by involving an animated, energized dialog.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A glass a day keeps obesity at bay．Alcohol has always been thought to cause weight gain because of its high sugar content, but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet．Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight, those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight．
A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, “Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain”．The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that current data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight．
Boston University’s Dr．Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms (生物学机制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood． His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病)，which relate to increasing obesity．Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers．
The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods．They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight．
For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one’s risk of becoming obese．What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that reveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine, destroys fat cells．
1.The passage is mainly for those ______．
A． who produce wine
B． who are eager to lose weight
C． who go on a diet
D． who have a drinking habit
2.The underlined phrase “in moderation” in the first paragraph means ______．
A． properly B． carefully
C． excitedly D． frequently
3.Why has alcohol been thought to cause weight gain?
A． Because its calories are stored in fat．
B． Because it is rich in sugar．
C． Because it changes drinking patterns．
D． Because it increases the risk of diabetes．
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A． The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear．
B． Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat．
C． The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect．
D． Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight．
5.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A． How to do some easy experiments．
B． How to prove the finding mentioned above．
C． How to make wine in a healthy way．
D． How to reduce the calories contained in wine．

科目：高中英语 来源：2016届湖南师范大学附属中学高三月考三英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
On a cold winter day in Denver, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.
During his talk, Jack 1 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, "Who wants this?"
Hnads shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would choose. But I
ran up the stairs to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply take the initiative and create what we want!”
After this week, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mail sharing my views and dreams. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragement such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way. Love, Jack.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mail Jack.
A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had this idea if I got back in touch with Jack. I e-mailed him again and again but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: What was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I needed to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call “Waiting for Jack”!
It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. I wrote and rewrote. Even though I could feel the fear, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turns out a best-seller on Amazon!
We all have a “Jack” for whom we wait—whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?
1.From the first paragraph we can learn that the author _________.
A. wanted Jack to autograph her book
B. wanted to be as successful as Jack
C. wanted to make friends with Jack
D. wanted to get help from Jack
2.It can be inferred from the passage that Jack Canfield is probably a person who ________.
A. enjoys playing a lot
B. likes showing off his wealth
C. seldom takes risks
D. welcomes challenges in life
3.How did the author lose contact with Jack?
A. She and Jack had an argument
B. She had no time to contact Jack
C. Jack was too proud to get along with
D. She was too upset with her broken dream
4. What might be the theme of the book Waiting for Jack?
A. The disappointment of waiting for her hero Jack
B. The need to keep waiting for the prize of our life
C. The importance of taking action to achieve a goal
D. The harm of blindly worshipping others as heroes
