of bed each morning,eager to start an active day.But I can hear my neighbours alarm clock ringing non-stop every morning and I doubt he gets to work on time.A lot of noise comes from his flat in the evening.Hes happy to stay up watching TV till after midnight,while I go to bed early and try to sleep.Well,it might not be his fault after all.Im called “a lark(百靈鳥(niǎo))” and my neighbour “an owl(貓頭鷹)”.We all have inside “clocks” in the brain to control all kinds of bodily functions and it is reset every day by light.These inside clocks run to a different schedule in “l(fā)arks” and “owls”.If you have a fast clock,you like to do things early,and if you have a slow clock,you like to do things late.Because we live in a 24/7 world,scientists believe its important to understand a persons “chronotype”the time of the day when they function the best.It could help us lead a healthier life.A US professor has studied sleeping patterns and thinks work times should be changed and made more individual to fit in with our chronotypes.And he has advice for those who cant choose their working hours:“If thats not possible,we should be more careful about light exposure,” says the professor.“You should try to go to work not in a covered vehicle but on a bike.The minute the sun sets we should use things that have no blue light,like computer screens and other electronic devices.”【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。作者通過(guò)分析自己和鄰居不同的作息情況,說(shuō)明了每個(gè)人都有自己的睡眠類型:有的人晚上的工作效率高,有的人白天的工作效率高。但是,如果無(wú)法選擇工作時(shí)間,那么就應(yīng)在晚上盡量避免藍(lán)色的光,因?yàn)樗{(lán)色的光可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致睡眠問(wèn)題。1.How

know the famous onesthe Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bellsbut what about the less famous inventors?What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)?Shouldnt we know who they are?Joan McLean thinks so.In fact,McLean,a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range,feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic.In addition to learning “who” invented “what”,however,McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions.According to McLean,“When students learn the answers to these questions,they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree.One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLeans statement.“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention,” said Tommy Lee,a senior physics major,“I would never have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So,just what is the story behind the windshield wiper?Well,Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City.The day was cold and stormy,but Anderson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar.Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield,she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a built-in device for cleaning the window.Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham,Alabama,Anderson started drafting out solutions.One of her ideas,a lever(操作桿) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.Its hard to imagine driving without Garrett A.Morgans traffic light.Its equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J.Blodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible.Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。我們了解著名人物及其發(fā)明,如愛(ài)迪生的電燈和留聲機(jī),貝爾的電話等,但是又有多少人知道紅綠燈和雨刮器的發(fā)明者呢?1.By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”,the author indicates that countless inventions are. A.beneficial,because their inventors are famousB.beneficial,though their inventors are less famousC.not useful,because their inventors are less famousD.not useful,though their inventors are famous答案:B解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容并結(jié)合下文可推斷,作者提到交通信號(hào)燈、雨刮器等發(fā)明,是想說(shuō)無(wú)數(shù)的發(fā)明對(duì)人類十分有益,雖然它們的發(fā)明者沒(méi)有太大的名氣。故選B項(xiàng)。2.Professor Joan McLeans

eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB.inspired by the story behind the windshield wiperC.due to his experience of being caught in a snowstormD.not related to Professor Joan McLeans lectures答案:B解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“IfIhadnotheardthestoryofthewindshieldwipersinvention.Iwouldneverhavedreamedofturningmybadexperienceduringarainstormintosomethingsoconstructive.”可知,TommyLee發(fā)明的“不會(huì)折斷的雨傘”就是受到了雨刮器背后的故事的激勵(lì)。故選B項(xiàng)。4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A.How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B.How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?C.Shouldnt We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?D.Shouldnt We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?答案:C解析:主旨大意題?？v觀全文,特別是第一段指明了文章的主題,即我們應(yīng)該了解雨刮器和紅綠燈背后的發(fā)明者的故事。故選C項(xiàng)。E(2018·全國(guó)卷)If you are already making the time to exercise,it is good indeed!With such busy lives,it can be hard to try and find the time to work out.1 Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being
