科目:高中英語 來源:2014屆廣東汕頭潮師高級中學(xué)高二下學(xué)期期中考試英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

About half American teenagers do not get enough sleep on school nights.They get an average of sixty to ninety minutes less than experts say they need.

One reason for this is biology.Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep later and wake up later than other age groups.Yet many schools start classes as early as seven in the morning.As a result,many students go to class feeling like sixteen?year?old Danny.He is an active teen— except in the morning.“Getting up in the morning is pretty terrible.I’m just very out of it and tired.Through the first and second period I can hardly stay awake,” he said.

Michael Breus is a psychologist.Teens,he says,need to sleep eight to nine hours or even nine to ten hours a night.He says sleepy teens can experience a form of depression(消沉) that could have big influence on their general well being.It can affect not just their ability in the classroom but also on the sports field and on the road.So what can schools do about sleepy students?The psychologist says one thing they can do is to start classes later in the morning.Studies show that students can improve by a full letter grade in their first and second period classes.

Eric Peterson is the head of St.George’s School in the northeastern state of Rhode Island.He wanted to see if a thirty?minute delay(推遲)would make a difference.It did.He says visits to the health center by tired students decreased by half.Late arrivals to the first period fell by a third.And students reported that they were less sleepy during the day.Eric Peterson knows that changing start times is easier at a small school like his.But he is hopeful that other schools will find a way.

1.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Later classes,fewer sleepy teens

B.Early birds have good food

C.Early to bed and early to rise

D.Fewer classes,more happiness

2.The underlined word“this”in the second paragraph refers to________.

A.teenagers’ staying up

B.teenagers’ getting up late

C.teenagers’ not getting enough sleep

D.teenagers’ not studying seriously

3.Michael Breus thinks that________.

A.teens should get up early

B.teens need enough sleep to be lively

C.depression is common in teens

D.the first period class should be cut off

4.The last paragraph tells us________.

A.Eric Peterson visits the health center every day

B.it’s not easy for Eric Peterson to change start times

C.students in St.George’s School can get up later than before

D.students in St.George’s School aren’t late for school any more

5.What can we infer from the passage?

A.Danny is a lazy boy and always late for school.

B.Teens should go to bed early and get up early, too.

C.The psychologist has no idea how to solve the problem.

D.Enough sleep makes a healthy and active student.
