19、und December 22nd. It marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year. People usually make and eat dumplings with their family members. Tuesday came. Katy watched TV for a few hours, and then worked on her coin collection until bedtime. “Its too late to read now,“ Katy decided. “Tomorrow, Ill st
20、art it for sure.“ On Wednesday, Tom warned her not to leave things until the last minute. “Its not the last minute,“ Katy told him. “I still have four whole days left.” Unfortunately, she had to clean up her messy room first. Then, she was too tired to read. So Katy put off starting her book until T

On Friday night, Katy gave up watching her favorite video, for she had to read her book. Then on Saturday morning, she went on reading it. “At least I have the whole weekend,“ she
22、thought. However, she forgot her soccer game! So she lost several hours to read, which made her even more worried.

25、ifferent from common belief, blue light may not have a strong negative effect as people thought-according to the scientists from the University of Manchester. Its known that our body clock measures brightness through melanopsin(黑素蛋白),a specialized light sensitive protein in the eye. So there has bee
26、n lots of interest in studying the influence of light on the body clock. Researchers changed the make-up of short and long wavelength light, which provided a small difference in brightness, as well as changes in color. Findings suggested blue light might be troublesome to our sleep patterns. The new
27、 research, however, used a different method, since the changes in color may oppose the benefits from reducing the brightness signals detected(探测)by melanopsin. The team used specially designed lighting to change color without changing brightness. Findings of the new research showed that blue colors
28、produced weaker effects on the subjects body clock than equally bright yellow colors. “Our recognition of color comes from the retinal cone cells(视网膜锥形细胞),and the blue color signals they supply reduce the influence of light on the body clock,“ explained the lead researcher. “The research shows the c
29、ommon view that blue light has the strongest effect on the body clock is misguided.” According to the team, using dim(昏暗的),cooler lights in the evening and bright warmer lights during the day may be more beneficial to ensure healthy patterns of sleep. Twilight(暮光)is both dimmer and bluer than daylig
30、ht and the body clock uses both of those features to decide on the proper times to be asleep and awake. The findings have important suggestions for the design of lighting and visual displays which aim to promote peoples sleep patterns. Present technologies are mostly designed to limit our evening ex
31、posure to blue light by changing the screen color of mobile devices. The technology, however, may send the body clock mixed messages. This is because the small changes in brightness they produce come along with colors that are commonly seen during the day. So theres more for the designers to take in
32、to consideration. Setting our body clocks in line with our social and work schedules can be good for our health, and using color correctly could be a way to help us better achieve that. 27. The writer mentions different research methods in Paragraph 2 and 3 to . A. suggest how the data of the resear
33、ch should be collected B. explain why the findings of the old research are reasonable C. discuss possible ways of studying the influence of blue light D. show the progress in the methods used in the studies of blue light 28. According to the new findings, what should the designers take into consider
34、ation? A. The changes in both colors and brightness. B. The influence of the daylight on sleep patterns. C. The suggestions on the proper use of mobile devices. 7 / 10 D. The balance between technologies and the body clock. 29. What can we learn from the new research? A. Blue light cannot he easily
35、detected by the body clock. B. Blue light has the weakest effect on peoples body clock. C. Blue light is not as harmful to their sleep patterns as people thought. D. Blue light benefits people more in their sleep patterns than yellow light. D Sophia is smart, talented and incredibly nice. As a team
36、leader, she wishes Nathan, a member of her history project, did his part as required. But rather than criticize him, Sophia offered polite encouragement trying to push him instead, only to find that Nathan kept falling behind. It ended up that other team members, who had to take on more work, compla
37、ined about both Sophia and Nathan, while Nathan himself complained that he was not treated fairly. How did poor Sophia get into this mess? The primary reason was that Sophia failed in a key aspect of leadership- the duty to provide clear feedback(反馈)for team members. This isnt simply a duty but a co
38、rrectness. Failing to question or criticize Nathans work, Sophia was in fact unkind. Many people are not a failure, like Nathan in this case; theyre just in the wrong place, and still left in the dark. What they really need is feedback from their leaders. However, Sophia, in this case, withheld a gi
39、ft from Nathan. “Youd better use open, honest, continuous and clear feedback,“ says Harry Kraemer, a professor of management and strategy at Northwestern University, “to help figure out someones best fit- in their particular job or in the organization.“ This approach also prevents surprises. Its not
40、 uncommon to see someone suddenly removed from a team. They may have deserved it, but with a kind leader, they wouldnt have been caught off-guard because they would have been receiving open, honest, continuous and clear judgment of their performance. Then why is it so hard for leaders to give good f
41、eedback? “We like to be liked,“ Kraemer says. So we avoid anything that may cause unpleasantness, but that kind of feedback usually helps members find the right place for them. “If you like to be liked, the chance of being respected is extremely low. However, if you start off focusing on being respe
42、cted, you have a chance of being liked.“ Kraemer adds. The most difficult part for the leader, of course, involves criticizing someone. That is what a nice leader finds hard. Back to Sophias case. Not telling Nathan how he was on the team only made a hard situation worse. But with a different mindse
43、t, she could have set herself and Nathan up for success. 30.The expression “caught off-guard“ in Paragraph 5 probably means“ “ A. kicked out carelessly B. treated unexpectedly 8 / 10 C. sent out unfairly D. guided effortlessly 31. The writer probably agrees that . A. being nice to team members is li
44、kely to win leaders great respect B. criticizing team members results in serious complaints to the leader C. open and honest communication is a must for leaders and team members D. praise and encouragement from leaders bring out better team performance 32. According to the writer, what Sophia should
45、 do is . A. patiently encouraging Nathan to try his best B. gradually having Nathan dropped out of the project C. politely showing Nathan the improvement he made D. clearly telling Nathan her judgment of his performance 33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. To be nic
46、e or to be kind? B. To be liked or to be criticized? C. Is it necessary for leaders to be pleasing? D. Is it helpful for leaders to be demanding? 四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共 10 分,每小题 2 分) Studies have shown that when students join in team sports, their overall educational experience is greatly improved. In
47、 fact, no matter they are good at sports or not, there are still benefits to be got from playing team sports! Here are four lessons team sports can teach students. Have a Bigger Picture At some point in life, everyone goes through challenges. People may think that the choices they make only affect t
48、hemselves, but as it turns out, that simply isnt true! Team sports teach students about friendship and a sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves. When they play sports on a team, they quickly learn that every choice they make has an influence on their teammates and their opponents(对手)
49、! Be Decisive Making choices can often be difficult for many people since they often over-complicate(过度复杂化)very simple decisions. Playing team sports gets students to reason and come to a decision faster than they might in their day-to-day life. And then, making quick decisions can help students develop a sense of self-confidence. Never Give Up 9 / 10 Its always exciting to win in life, but sometimes the greater lessons come from losses in team sports games. To deal with those losses, students should accept them peacefully, move on and try agai
