Addiction to smartphones will result in poor sleep, according to a new study.
The study, published Tuesday in Frontiers in Psychiatry, looked at smartphone use among 1,043 students
between the ages of 18 and 30at King\'s College London. Researchers asked the students to complete two
questionnaires on their sleep quality and smartphone use, in person and online.
Using a 10-question scale that was developed to judge smartphone addiction in children, nearly 40% of the
university students qualified as \"addicted\" to smartphones, the study found. “Our findings are in agreement with
other reported studies in young adult populations globally, which are in the range of 30-45%,” lead author Sei Yon
Sohn and her co-authors wrote in the study. \"Later time of use was also significantly connected with smartphone
addiction, with use after increasing a 3- times risk,\" the authors wrote.
Students who reported high use of smartphones also reported poor sleep quality, the study found. That foils
in line with previous studies that have found overuse of smartphones at night to be associated with trouble falling
asleep, reduced sleep duration (睡眠持续时间)and daytime tiredness. That\'s likely because use of smartphones
close to bedtime has been shown to delay the body\'s normal sleep - and - wake clock.
In fact, the No. 1 rule is \"no computers, cell phones, and ipads in bed and at least one hour beforebed Dr.
Vsevolod Polotsky, who directs sleep basic research, said in a recent interview. That\'s because \"any LED light
source from electronics (电子设备)may further hold back melatonin (褪黑激素)levels,\" Polotsky said. Melatonin
is often referred to as a \"sleep hormone,\" because we sleep better during the night when levels reach the top.
“This is a cross-sectional study, and it cannot lead to any firm conclusions about smartphone use as the cause
of reduced sleep quality, said Bob Patton, a lecturer in clinical psychology at the University of Surrey, via email.
4. How did Sei Yon Sohn\'s team begin their study?
A. By publishing researching papers. B. By responding to others’ concern.
C. By collecting firsthand data. D. By turning to related experts.
5. What did the study find about sleep quality and smartphone use?
A. 30-45% of the university students are addicted to smartphones.
B. High use of smartphones is related to poor sleep quality.
C. Overuse of smartphones leads to shorter sleep duration.
D. Use after will result in smartphone addiction.
6. What is Polotsky\'s opinion on electronics ?
A. We should stop using them an hour before going to sleep.
B. LED light source from them will delay normal sleep- and- wake clock.
C. Reduced sleep quality has nothingto do with them.
D. No electronics should be used in bed at any time.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Say No to Smartphones
B. Sleep Quality Can Be Improved
C. LED Light Source Causes Great Harm
D. Smartphone Addiction Ruins Sleep

Jules Verne was born on 8 February1828 inthe French city of Nantes. From an early age, he had a fascination
with exploration and discovery. When he was six, his teacher, Madame Sambin, told him stories about her
husband, who disappeared while traveling the world on a ship 30 years before. She told her class that he was like
Robinson Crusoe, a fictional castaway who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar
characters.
In 1847, Verne was sent by his family to study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred to write novels,
poems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted to write adventure stories based on science and
d never been done before, but Verne was sure that it would be a success. His first story, Five
Weeks in a Balloon, was published in September 1862. His career lasted for more than 40 years, during which time
he wrote more than 60 gripping stories.
To begin with, Verne wrote positive and optimistic books. Many of these were to be his most popular
creations. Although some included fantastical elements, they were usually based in scientific fact, making them
believable. These happy stories weren’t to last. As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that
science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used
technology for their own-sometimes evil - purposes. Verne died on 24 March 1905, but new books continued to
be published until 1919. These stories were based on ideas Verne had written about while he was still alive, but
featured new characters and plots created by his son, Michel.
In the 20th century, his books were translated into more than 140 languages and several successful film
versions were released. His creations have been recognized as an inspiration for many scientists and inventors.
Many of the futuristic ideas from his most popular books have since come true.
8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A To show Verne’s discovery.
B. To offer the background information of Verne.
C. To tell of the adventure of Sambin’s husband.
D. To explain how Verne began his writing career.
9. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in Paragraph 2:
A. Writing novels, poems and plays.
B. Studying law.
C. Graduating from university.
D. Wring adventure stories.
10. What can be learned about Verne’s late works?
A. They covered happy elements.
B. They were unbelievable stories.
C. They revealed Verne’s doubt on science.
D. They were partly written by Berne’s son.
11. Which of the following best describes Verne?
A. Talented and productive.
B. Popular and caring.
C. Optimistic and generous.
D. Friendly and honest.
D
Being an Olympian (奥运会选手) demands focus, determination, and a competitive spirit. Plus, representing
your country is a lot of pressure. However, two athletes recently showed the world another quality that is
definitely worth championing.
Qatar\'s Mutaz Essa Barshim and Italy\'s Gianmarco Tamberi were competing in the high jump on Sunday when
they reached a stalemate (僵局). Both men had managed to jump over a surprising 2.37 meters with no faults
along the way. However, after three attempts neither managed the next level of 2.39 meters.
An Olympic official suggested ajump-offbetween the two friends and rivals (竞争对手) to determine who
would get the gold medal. But Barshim had another plan to reward their efforts.
“Can we have two golds?” he asked the official.
The official agreed and the two men jumped for joy. This was the first time a gold medal had been shared
since 1912. “He is one of my best friends, not only on the track, but outside the track. We work together. This is a
dream come true.” shared Barshim.
The decision to share the medal was particularly meaningful to Tamberi. The Italian had suffered an ankle
injury that prevented him from competing in the Rio Olympics in 2016, and it nearly put an end to his career
altogether. So this year he brought along his cast to this year\'s Olympics with “Road to Tokyo 2021” to inspire him
along the way.
For Barshim, the gold has topped off his already impressive medal collection, having received a bronze and a
silver medal in 2012 and 2016 respectively.
Despite all the glory of receiving a gold medal for their countries, their achievement means so much more.
These two individuals, trying to do their very best for their countries, have provided a wonderful example to all
those competing in sports. They\'ve summed up exactly what it means to take part in a global event with a
generous and compassionate (有同情心的) spirit.
12. What happened to Barshim and Tamberi in the competition?
A. They ended in a tie. B. They quit the competition.
C. They set a new record. D. They ran out of strength.
13. What does the underlined word “jump-off” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Debate. B. Vote.
C. Celebration. D. Extra round.
14. Why was the gold medal particularly meaningful to Tamberi?
A. It could bring him a lot of money. B. It may make up for his regret in 2016.
C. It was a glory for his country. D. It could complete his medal collection.
15. What does the author mainly want to convey in the text?
A. The importance of sharing.
B. The glory of winning gold medals.
C. The valuable and special team spirit.
D. The considerate and sharing Olympic spirit.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
When we come home from a long day at school, our clogs are so happy to see us. Their faces look happy,with
mouths wide open.___16___
It\'s probably not an illusion(错觉）at all. In fact, two centuriesof modern science has good evidence that
humans and animals share emotions—including the kind of emotion that results in laughter.
US animal behaviorist Patricia Simonet carried out research on a special sound that dogs make when they
play.___17___. It is quite different from other dog sounds like whining（哀鸣）and growling（咆哮）.Simonet
believed it is laughter.
Even other dogs seem to recognize and associate the “laugh\" with pleasure.___18___when Simonet played
the laughter to other dogs, reported ABC News.
It might not surprise us that dogs—our traditional“best friends”—like to laugh. But other research suggests
that creatures? like rats, also laugh.
Estonian researcher Jaak Panksepp did experiments on rats.___19___. When Panksepp tickled his rats on the
neck, they made a chirping（唧唧声）sound, which the scientist believed was laughter. The rats liked the tickling so
much, he reported, that they sought more of it. According toScientific American, Panksepp\'s rats would follow his
finger around to make him tickle them again.
While studies have shown that dogs and rats “laugh“ when they play? it doesn\'t mean that all animals really
laugh even if they make a laughter-like sound.
Take hyenas（土狼）for example. The hyena is well known for making a noise that sounds like a person
laughing loudly. But studies show the hyenas don\'t make the noise because they think something is
funny.___20___
But make no mistake? when your dog welcomes you home, it\'s definitely laughing.
can make your dog laugh at times
er can relieve their nervousness
found that they had a sense of humor and fun
sound is a “forced, breathy exhalation（呼气）”
\'ve all wondered whether our dogs are smiling at us
would seek out toys and others would run toward the source
“laughing“ is actually a noise they make when they are excited or frightened

day I___35___out for track was the first day my doctor allowed me to exercise. I started running with my mom,
because I didn\'t___36___the track team.
I have finally learned to___37___myself. And I have come to realize that even though my parents and
