Sleep Struggle
DR. GEORGE ANSWERS YOUR HEALTH QUESTIONS
第 4 页 共 12 页
I have such a terrible time falling asleep every night that I'm always tired and it's affecting my
schoolwork. What should I do
—— Mindy in Nevada
One in every five young people has a sleep problem. so you' re not alone. Getting enough sleep
has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It's very important for your
body.
Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine
hours.And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping in on weekends doesn't really work.
In fact,sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm than good, if you have sleep
problems.
What happens if you don't get enough sleep If your sleep problem continues for a few nights,
you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse still, if your
sleep difficulties last à long time, that could lead to anxiety or depression. Therefore, you' ve got to
have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions:
· Go to bed at the same time-----including weekends, if possible.
●Wake up around the same time every morning. When you sleep late just one morning during the
week,it may disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.
●Do something relaxing before going to bed.
●Exercise during the day. Don't exercise right before going to bed.
●Avoid drinking alcohol. Alcohol makes you excited, which prevents you from falling asleep or
wakes you up during the night.
●Don't smoke. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake.
If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take
any sleeping pills without first asking your doctor. Many have strong side effects.
51. young people have steep problems.
A. 10% B. 20% C. 25% D. 50%
52. According to the passage, if you have sleep problems for a long time. you could be .
A. lonely B. forgetful C. sleepy D. anxious or depressed
53. The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should .
A. make up for lost sleep on weekends B. sleep seven hours every day
C. follow a fixed, timetable for sleep D: take some sleeping pills
54. Which is not mentioned in the passage
A. Eating vegetables. B. Exercising.
第 5 页 共 12 页
C. Smoking. D. Drinking alcohol.
55. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. You' ll no longer have your sleep problem if you try the tips. .
B. Sleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep.
C. Exercising in the evening will help you get to sleep.
D. Sleep problems are serious among young people.

Your legs may help you get around, but what if they could also help you smell out a snack
That's a trick achieved by a very strange fish called the sea robin. The fish, which lives on the
seafloor, has an unusual appearance. with wing-like fins and leg-like things that it uses not only to
move around quickly but also for“tasting” the sea floor to find prey(猎物) hidden in the sand,
researchers have found.
Sea robins are known to use six leg-like structures to walk across the sea floor and even turn
over shellfish in a hunt for prey. Researchers have long questioned if their legs could also help the
fish to discover food in others ways. A series of researches have been carried out, and scientists in
the Marine Biological Laboratory have released two studies uncovering the genes that result in the
sea robins’ legs and also how such legs are used.
Writing in the journal Current Biology, the team report how they placed individual sea robins
into tanks containing water and sand. Hidden in the sand were either shellfish. capsules containing
shellfish extract, or capsules containing seawater.
The team found that a kind of sea robins regularly turned up all of the prey-related items but not
the seawater capsules.
Further work made it clear that nerves(神经) in the legs of these fish fired when the legs sensed
various food-related materials, while the sea robins could find the hidden capsules containing such
materials.
The team discovered that the ability of the fish to find prey decreased with the dept bat which
the prey was hidden, as would be expected if the sea robins were using their legs to sense something
released by the prey. In addition, the researchers found that the legs of these sea robins were covered
in small bumps similar to those seen on a human tongue, and the bumps could taste things. The
researchers suggest that the bumps could increase both touch and sensitivity.
56、. What do we know about sea robins in paragraph 1
A. They are ugly-looking sea life. B. They are good at playing tricks.
C. They hunt for food using legs. D. They live on the surface of the sea.

57. Why did the scientists in the Marine Biological Laboratory do the two studies .
A. To offer a suggestion. B. To clear up doubts.
C. To give a reason. D. To introduce an idea.
58. How did the scientists carry out the study
A. By examining the nerves in sea robins' legs.
B. By observing different items hidden in the sand.
C. By putting individual sea robins into different tanks.
D. By comparing sea robins' responses to different items.
59. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Bumps make sea robins more sensitive to the prey.
B. Bumps enable sea robins to touch prey far away.
C. Sea robins have the same bumps as a human tongue does.
D. Sea robins can explore prey in the deep ocean easily.
60. What's the best title for the text
A. Strange Fish, Unusual Appearance Shown B. Amazing Fish, Unique Trick Ahead
C. Crazy Fish, Special Movement Unlocked D. Mysterious Fish, Hunting Secrets Out

Five digital activists have created a website to help provide shelter to survivors of the
earthquake in Syria and Turkey.
Just 48 hours after the earthquake reduced cities to ruins, Avi Schiffmann, 20, built Take
Shelter,a site that connects displaced people with hosts around the world offering their homes as
shelter. He worked with 19-year-olds Krish Shah, Adrian Gri and Will Depue, and Anant Sinha, 21,
to Jaunch Take Shelter. The website was released through Internet Activism, a non-profit they
founded to develop digital humanitarian(人道主义的) tools.
People who wish to open their homes to displaced earthquake survivors can sign up on Take
Shelter: org and post a public listing. Displaced earthquake survivors. in turn, can search the site for
nearby host families.
Over 100 families displaced by the earthquake have found shelter through the website, which
has been translated to English, Turkish and Arabic. “We've taken care the design of the site to be
intuitive(直观的), because we understand our users are often stressed, in a new location, and in a
rush.” said Schiffmann.
To reduce the risk and maintain the safety of the website and displaced people who use it, hosts
第 7 页 共 12 页
undergo required identity verification checks by taking a live photo of their government ID, which
moderators(管理员) then cross check against a live photo of their face.
TakeShelter includes warnings on each listing to guide refugees on how to safely research a host
on social media, alert family and friends on who they' re staying with and how to recognize possible
red flags. The site also provides local emergency numbers and the UN Refugee Agency hotline for
immediate help.
Schiffmann's quest to find ways to bridge humanitarian aid with technology after disasters like
the earthquake is what led him to meeting his InternetActivism cofounders on social media. All five
of them took a break from their universities to develop the non-profit, which they launched in 2022.
“Our hope is that our work serves as a blueprint showing that anyone with a laptop and an
Internet connection can create massive positive impact for their community,” said Sinha, the
TakeShelter software engineer.
61. What can we infer from the passge
A. The website was established in Syria and Turkey
B. TakeShelter provides accommodation for survivors.
C. The website has been translated to three languages.
D. Hosts and survivors can search for each other online.
62. What do we know about the website TakeShelter
A. It is funded by the government. B. It is quite friendly to its users.
C. It is designed beautifully. D. It is intended for rescue workers.
63. What do people have to do on the website in order to provide shelter
A. Post a photo of their face. B. Give an account of their home.
C. Hand in their government ID. D. Pass a strict identity verification check.
64. What do the five digital activists have in common
A. They are all connected with humanitarian aid. B. They are all excellent college graduates.
C. They are regular guests on social media. D. They are experts in different technologies.
65. What is Sinha's expectation of their website
A. It' ll help more earthquake victims.
B. It' ll build a bright blueprint for humans.
C. It' ll bring their communities closer together.
D. It' ll inspire more people to provide humanitarian aid by Internet.

While Alzheimer's disease, which usually damages memory, thinking, and behavior, has no
known treatment, early detection(发觉) may allow for improved management of the disease, thus
possibly slowing its progression and improving the quality of life for those affected.
Researchers have now created a simple lightweight headband device for the early judgment of
the disease. This new device was made possible through a joint effort of researchers from the
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Washington University in St. Louis
Individuals can wear this headband while they sleep, and the device will continuously monitor
brainwaves, enabling the detection of Alzheimer's disease well before the condition starts to impact
performance and memory.
Researchers examined the effectiveness of a headband in monitoring brain health in a study
which included more than 205 elderly individuals. Their method focused on detecting brainwaves
that appear during memory processing in deep sleep and using them to understand whether there are
problems with the brain's memory. The team identified changes in neural patterns (神经模式) that
could be linked to the buildup of two types of proteins(蛋白原), which serve as signs of disease
progression in the brain of the individual with Alzheimer's.
“We could identify the levels of proteins in people's brainwave patterns before they experienced
any symptoms(症状). Detecting Alzheimer’ s disease at an early stage in people who don't show
symptoms can help with the planning of care and increase the effectiveness of medications and other
treatment approaches,” explained Brice McConnell, assistant professor of neurology. at the
University of Colorado.
Previous medical studies have pointed to a connection between the lack of sleep and Alzheimer’
s.However, how-poor sleep quality influences Alzheimer's development or even how the disease
affects sleep remains ambiguous. While early detection of this disease is beneficial, it is not always
straightforward mainly because the exact. cause of Alzheimer's disease is not fully understood.
Therefore, headbands like this one are still far from becoming commercially or clinically
available.Despite this, the team believes that this simple wearable device might one day make a
significant difference to the early detection of Alzheimer's.
66. What is the function of the new device
A. To record individuals' stress levels. B. To identify early signs of Alzheimer's.
C. To reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer's. D. To improve the sleep quality of patients.
67. How does the new device work
第 9 页 共 12 页
A. By using memory tasks to help patients learn.
B. By controlling the number of proteins in the brain.
C. By measuring brain activities to detect health issues.
D. By tracking changes in the sleepers' breathing patterns.
68. What is considered a possible benefit of the device for individuals without symptoms
A. . It helps lengthen their time of deep sleep.
B. It enables timely management of the disease.
C. It gradually. stops the development of Alzheimer's.
D. It deepens the connection between doctors and patients.
69. What does the underlined word“ambiguous” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Misleading. B. Familiar. C. Unclear. D. Opposite.
70. What is the team's attitude towards the application of the device
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Surprised. D. Worried.
II 卷 主观题
第一节：阅读表达(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
One day I decided to plant a garden in our backyard, and my husband began to paint our
fence.We' re . renters, not owners, and were growing tired of waiting for the day when we
would be able to buy something, so we began turning our house into a place we could call
home.
We' ve also taken on new responsibilities: I started volunteering at the city's animal
shelter, and my husband has been volunteering for a nonprofit art gallery. Being involved in
this way has given each of us an increased sense of purpose and strengthened our ties to the
place we live in.
But it's not just the things that you can add to your restart that matter. I'm happy to be
able to help out an elderly woman I see struggling with her bag. I know I' ve done something
good when I knock on a neighbor's door and let her know her car lights are still on. I feel I'
ve done my part when I find a lost dog wandering in the neighborhood and return him to his
relieved owner.
No doubt it works the other way, too. As we come to care about the place we live in, the
people here grow to know and care about us. It feels good to know that when we` re out of
town, our neighbors are picking up our mail and keeping an eye on our house for us. We' re

delighted when a neighbor congratulates us on my pregnancy.
This symbiotic (共生的) relationship we' re building with our community is exciting
and inspiring.As I watch new life sprouting up in my garden, I think about all the
possibilities for laying down more roots to this place and growing along with it. And as I
think about the baby growing, I am knowing we will be bringing a new person — a new
participant—— into this community, a community he’ ll call his hometown.
