An afternoon nap(午睡)is one of the joys of life, although too much napping could signal all is not well. In some cultures, people will have a daily nap — thisis fine. The warning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime, when they did not before. There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness — as in the Alzheimer's study — can be a marker of an underlying condition.
For most people, napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting enough sleep at night, says Dr. Neil Stanley, a sleep expert. \"If you feel sleepy during the day, you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs — it doesn't need to be kept awake with caffeine, it needs sleep. \"The feeling to notice is \"sleepiness\
So how do you nap well? The key thing, says Stanley, is how long your nap lasts. Choose either a 20-or 90-minute nap. \"When you fall asleep, you'll quickly go through the lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You don't want to wake up in deep sleep because that's when you wake and feel worse than you did before. \"Napping for 20 minutes means you will wake up before you go into deep sleep; napping for 90 minutes means you'll complete a sleep cycle.
Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep — some people are better at napping than others but, says Stanley, \"a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes\" — you can set an alarm, allowing a 30- to 40-minute period for a short nap, and up to two hours for a longer one.
A good time to nap is during the body's natural dip in the afternoon, between 2 pm and 4 pm. \"You don't really want to be napping much pastthatbecause then you are going to be eating into your night-time sleep,\"
Stanley says. The point, he stresses, is to get good night-time sleep, which would ensure you probably don't need to nap at all.
4. What does an afternoon nap indicate for most people? A. Caffeine addiction. B. Psychological stress. C. Insufficient night sleep. D. Potential physical illness. 5. What is the key to a good nap?
A. Duration. B. Surroundings. C. Health. D. Stages. 6. What does the underlined word \"that\" in the last paragraph refer to? A. A 30- to 40- minute period. B. Between 2 pm and 4 pm. C. Between 5 and 12 minutes. D. A 20- to 90-minute period. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Why to phase a nap B. When to take a good nap C. What to learn from a nap D. How to have a successful nap

For centuries , tea has been used for far more than quenching thirst. Around the world people drink it to relax, reinvigorate and relieve, and it's something we need now more than ever.
Even in the United States, a long coffee-dominated country, tea drinking is growing in popularity, with the country consuming 0.4 kilograms (14 ounces) of tea leaves per person a year compared with 0. 36 kilograms(12. 7 ounces) in 2007 according to the United Nations, as people switch away from soda，milk and fruit drinks.
Scientists are beginning to look into just how tea might affect mood and cognition. Specifically, they're investigating whether its relaxing and refreshing effects are a direct biological outcome of the compounds in tea or whetherthey come from the context in which the drink is consumed—preparing your tea, choosing your favorite cup and sitting down for a brief break from the world. Or both.
Drinking green tea has been found to improve brain function in healthy people, said Stefan Borgward, chair and director of the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the University of Lubeck, Germany.
In a 2014 study, he gave one or two cups of green tea to 12 healthy volunteers and imaged their brains to analyze changes in connectivity inside certain brain regions.
“We noticed an increased connectivity in regions of the brain associated with working memory,” he said via email.
And a 2017 review of more than 100 studies he coauthored found that green tea can impact the brain in
three ways: It can influence psychopathological state such as reducing anxiety; cognition by benefiting memory and attention; and brain function, specifically memory.
That review concluded that \"it would be desirable\" for more Westerners to consume at least 100 milliliters(3.3 fluid ounces) of green tea each day “to protect neurocognitive function.”
However, Borgward, cautioned that the effects aren't large, and the evidence is mainly provided by small-scale studies.
8. How does the author introduce the tendency of drinking in the U.S.? A. By showing examples. B. By explaining reasons. C. By making a comparison. D. By checking existing facts. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Scientists are looking into why tea makes people relaxed and refreshed. B. The context in which the drink is consumed is very important.
C. People's relaxation is the direct biological outcome of the ingredients in tea. D. Preparing tea, choosing a cup and sitting down for a brief rest is amazing. 10. What can we conclude from Stefan's research? A. Tea is a cure for a neurocognitive disease. B. Green tea is particularly beneficial to our memory. C. Drinking tea every day can prevent us from getting ill. D. Westerners drink less than 100 milliliters of green tea. 11. What is the researcher'sattitude towards the finding?
A. Supportive B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Objective.

Thursday, two Russian submarines(潜艇) dived down 2.5 miles into the Arctic Ocean and planted a national flag onto a piece of continental shelf known as the Lomonosov Ridge. Rising from the center of the Arctic Basin, the flag sent a clear message to the surrounding nations: Russia had just laid claim(权利) to the vast oil and gas reserves contained in this underwater area.
AfterRussia, theUnited States,Norway,SwedenandFinlandare all trying to gain profit. Projections show that the area of land and sea that falls within theArctic Circleis home to an estimated 90 billion barrels of oil, an incredible 13% of Earth’s reserves. It’s also estimated to contain almost a quarter of untapped global gas resources. But long before this oil race began, how did theArcticbecome so rich in energy?
“The first thing you realize is that theArctic—unlike the Antarctic—is an ocean surrounded by continents”, Alastair Fraser, a geoscientist from Imperial College London, said. Firstly, this means there’s a huge quantity of organic material available, in the form of dead sea creatures such as plankton and algae, which form the basis of what will ultimately become oil and gas. Secondly, the surrounding ring of continents means that the Arctic Basin contains a high proportion of continental crust(大陆地壳), which makes up about 50% of its oceanic area. That’s significant because continental crust typically contains deep depressions called basins, into which organic matter sinks.
Here, it gets inserted in rock and preserved in anoxic(缺氧) waters, meaning they contain little oxygen. “Normally, in a shallow sea with lots of oxygen, it would not be preserved. But if the sea is deep enough, the oxygenated waters at the top will be separated from the anoxic conditions at the base,” Fraser explained. Conserved within these oxygen-free basins, the matter maintains compounds that finally make it useful as an energy source for millions of years in the future.
12. Why didRussiaplant a national flag onto the Lomonosov Ridge? A. To tell surrounding countries its armed forces. B. To show its advanced technology of submarines. C. To show abundant natural resources in theArcticBasin. D. To claim its privilege to explore for oil and gas in the area. 13. What’s the function of the last sentence in paragraph 2?
A. Making a comparison. B. Serving as a connecting link.
C. Analyzing the cause and effect. D. Drawing the conclusion of the text. 14. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Oxygen only exists in the top part of the ocean. B. Organic materials mostly exist in the basins with oxygen. C. Water containing oxygen turns organic materials into oil and gas.
D. Oxygen-free environment counts in the formation of the arctic’s rich energy. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What makes theArcticattractive? B. Why do many nations focus on theArctic? C. Why is there so much oil in theArctic? D. How does theArcticBasincome into being? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
