6.Celebrating sleep
World Sleep Day,observed on 21March,was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide.Sleep is a natural part of human life,but many people in the modern world ignore its importance.As a result,sleep problems are increasingly common.
In 2002,scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35,000people in 10countries around the world,including China,Belgium and South Africa.Of the people that responded to the survey,24percent said that they did not sleep well,and based on their responses,31.6percent were diagnosed(诊断)with insomnia (失眠) and another 17.5percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia.In addition,30.7percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day.
Overall,the survey found that many people suffer from the effects of poor quality sleep,some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night.The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life,but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep.The survey's findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night.The shortterm effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating.If this happens for a long time,the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase.
There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep.First,you should have regular sleep habits.Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day.You also need to make your bedroom a cool,dark,quiet place to sleep so that heat,light and noise do not disturb you.At night,you should also avoid things that contain caffeine(咖啡因),such as chocolate,coffee,tea and many soft drinks,as caffeine may keep you from sleeping.
Getting a good night's sleep is important for everyone.By following the advice above,you can rest better at night and work better during the day.

16.How to Avoid Mistakes in the IELTS Test
Many students,some with very good English skills,take the academic IELTS (International English Language Testing System)test and fail to achieve the score they expected or hoped for.In order to avoid this,it is important to have an understanding of what you need to do in each part of the exam and have some basic strategies.(36)C
Don't give very short answers
Don't just answer"yes"or"no"to questions.The examiner needs to hear you speak,so always give extra information.
For example,for part 1:
Q:Do you have a big family?
A:Yes,I do.I have my parents,and I also have three brothers and two sisters.My aunt lives with us as well.(37)A It can be quite noisy in our house,but it's still a lot of fun!
(38)E
It is important to extend your answers,but at the same time you must be answering the question or talking about things related to the topic.You won't gain extra marks for talking for the sake of it if it has nothing to do with what you have been asked!
Listen carefully
Always listen carefully to what the examiner asks you.Again,you aren't be expected to be talking about something different from what you are asked.
(39)F
If you don't understand a question or you don't hear it,then ask the examiner to repeat it.There is nothing wrong with needing to do this a few times during the test.
Talk for two minutes
It is OK to give extra information,so feel free to tell the examiner everything you can think about the topic.(40)B一You can plan what you say in the 1-minute preparation time and think of what extra information you can give.

A.So I will say that is quite a large family.
B.But remember you need to speak fluently and clearly.
C.In this article,I will provide you with speaking strategies.
D.There is no need to talk too much.
E.Keep to the topic
F.Ask if you don't understand
G.Think carefully before you speak.

17.The Internet has opened up a whole new o nline world for us to meet,chat and go where we've never been before.
But just as in face to face communication,there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.(36)DImagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes.
For anything you're about to send:ask yourself,"Would I say this to the person's face?"If the answer is no,rewrite and reread.(37)BIf someone in the chat room is rude to you,your instinct is to fire back in the same manner.But try not to do so.(38)FIf it was caused by a disagreement with another member,try to fix the situation by politely discussing it.Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
(39)COffer advice when asked by newcomers,as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate.When someone makes a mistake,whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer,be kind about it.If it's a small mistake,you may not need to say anything.Even if you feel strongly about it,think twice before saying anything.Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else.(40)GAt the same time,if you find you are wrong,be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age,sex and marital status.Unless you know the person very well,and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information,don't ask such questions.

A.It's natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B.Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face.
C.Everyone was new to the network once.
D.The basic rule is simple:treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E.When you send short messages to a person online,you must say something beautiful to hear.
F.You should either ignore the person,or use your chat software to block their messages.
G.If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake,point it out politely.

14.Trees are useful to man in three important ways:they give him wood and other useful things,they give him cool places,and they help to stop drought and flood.
  Unluckily,in many parts of the world,man has not found that the third of these points is the most important.Man wants to make money from trees,so he has cut them down in large numbers,only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.And also,he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees.So the forests slowly disappear.
  This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees.The results are even worse:for where there are trees,their roots break up soil---make the rain in---and also bind the soil,thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees,the rain falls on hard ground and flows away,causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil.When all the top-soil is gone,nothing is left but useless desert.
21.The most important points of trees to man isB.
A.they help him to make money
B.they help him to stop drought and floods
C.they give him wood and other things
D.they give him cool
22.In many places forests slowly disappear becauseC.
A.many trees have been cut down by man
B.new trees are not well looked after
C.all the above
D.man has not paid enough attention to planting trees
23.Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down becauseD.
A.roots of trees break up the soil
B.there are too many rainfalls
C.strong winds bring a lot of sand
D.there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.
24.Which title best fits the passage?D
A.Trees and Man
B.The Function of Tree Wood
C.How do People do with Trees?
D.The Usage of Tree Root s.

11.Security-for the information on your smart phone,as well as for the phone itself-is a hot topic these days.The truth is that you're packing a lot of sensitive information on your phone,and you should keep it safe.
When it comes to physical security,iPhone users would do well to download Find My iPhone,a free app from Apple that allows you to visit a website and see your (lost,stolen or misplaced) phone on the map.You can then sound an alarm,send a message that will pop up on its screen,lock the phone or erase all your data.
Android does not have an exact equivalent(等价物),but there are plenty of alternatives.A free app called Lookout offers the findmyphone feature.The paid version allows you to wipe the data from your phone remotely.
Then there is your coffee shop's WiFi network.Anyone with minimal technical expert skill can snoop on(窥视) people using shared wireless networks,harvesting passwords and other personal data.Lookout will caution you when you've logged on to an insecure network,but cannot protect you once you're there.
In order to protect yourself on such networks,you can use a virtual private network,or VPN.This turns all your activity into nonsense to anyone trying to read along with you from across Starbucks.It also keeps websites from tracking you and,if you're travelling,allows you to get access to sites that may be blocked in other countries.
If you have an iPhone,the simplest VPN app is probably Hotspot Shield,whose distinguishing feature is said to be that it automatically kicks in each time you start browsing (浏览),as opposed to other VPN apps that require you to start them up manually(手动地).This matters,because even if you decide you want a VPN app,you want to spend approximately zero time thinking about it.For the most part,that was true of Hotspot Shield,though occasionally it took a while to connect or temporarily lost connection without warning.I found myself having to turn the app on and off sometimes,which involved setting my phone constantly.
If even reading about the settings on your phone drive you crazy,then it is probably best to stay away from a VPN app.But if you're the type who can't resist checking your bank balance from your corner bar,the hassle(麻烦) may be preferable to the risk.
24.Which of the following can warn you against the insecure network?C
A.Android.
B.VPN.
C.Lookout.
D.Find My iPhone.
25.By using VPN,users canD.
A.find their lost phones on the Internet
B.remove all the data from the phone remotely
C.check the bank balance now and then
D.save their browsing from being tracked
26.The underlined word"that"in Para.6refers to the fact thatA.
A.a VPN app kicks in automatically
B.the users start VPN apps manually
C.the app takes a while to connect
D.users spend no time thinking about it.

19.The house was quiet at 5am and Tim's mother was asleep.Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet.He'd dreamt of the cave last night.The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag.It was too early for breakfast.He'd eat after he'd been through the cave,sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack.His schoolbag would have to do.What else?Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches,she'd want to know why he had to leave so early.He settled for some biscuits,and left a note stuck to the table:Gone to Michael's.Back tonight,Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside,though the sun still wasn't up.Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street.The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday's sun,though the top of the sand was cool.He ran down to the beach impatiently,but there was no one,just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly.The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea.The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks,along to the point,Tim glanced back.The beach was still empty.The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now,even darker in the morning light.The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it.He had to force himself to go closer.Why was it so much more mysterious now?But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble.He needn't go in all the way…

21.What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?D
A.He put a sweater in his schoolbag.
B.He had breakfast at home.
C.He left a note on the freezer.
D.He left the house quietly.
22.What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?B
A.The height of the first rocks.
B.The change in the position of the sun.
C.The ups and downs of the waves.
D.The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.
23.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?A
A.Tim was the only person on the beach.
B.Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.
C.The sea looked like a piece of gold.
D.The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.
