13.C

14.B

15.D這是一篇說明文。文章講述了一個(gè)最新研究：每晚睡6到7個(gè)小時(shí)的人活得更長，而睡8個(gè)小時(shí)或更長時(shí)間的人則容易英年早逝。這個(gè)說法引起了警告和批評【12題詳解】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題根據(jù)第一段﹍weakenstheadviceofmanysleepdoctorswhohavelongrecommendedthatpeoplegeteightorninehoursofsleepeverynight.以及第二段“There’sanoldideathatpeopleshouldsleepeighthoursanight﹍可知關(guān)于睡眠傳統(tǒng)的觀點(diǎn)是一晚上睡八到九個(gè)小時(shí)，故選D?！?3題詳解】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題第七段“Youshouldsleepasmuchasyouneedtofeelawake,alertandattentivethenextday,”Buysseadded.（“你的睡眠要足夠使你第二天保持清醒、警覺和專注，”Buysse補(bǔ)充道），這句話是Buysse說的，他不贊成最新研究的觀點(diǎn)，即這句話不是這項(xiàng)新研究的觀點(diǎn)，故選C。【14題詳解】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題第二段第一句話“There’sanoldideathatpeopleshouldsleepeighthoursanight,whichhasnomorescientificbasisthanthegoldattheendoftherainbow,”的句意是：有一個(gè)古老的說法，人們應(yīng)該每晚睡8個(gè)小時(shí)，這比彩虹盡頭的黃金更沒有具有科學(xué)基礎(chǔ)。即每晚睡8個(gè)小時(shí)的說法是沒有科學(xué)基礎(chǔ)的。故選B?！?5題詳解】D主旨大意題文章先提出了關(guān)于睡眠的新想法：每晚睡6到7個(gè)小時(shí)的人活得更長，而睡8個(gè)小時(shí)或更長時(shí)間的人則容易英年早逝。這個(gè)說法引起了警告和批評，故文章最好的題目是選項(xiàng)D。19.閱讀下列短文，從每小題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A.B.C和D）中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。Wenowthinkofchocolateassweet,butonceitwasbitter.Wethinkofitasacandy,butonceitwasamedicine.Today,chocolatecanbeahotdrink,afrozendessert,orjustasnack.Sometimesit’saningredientinthemaincourseofameal.Mexicansmakeahotchocolatesaucecalledmoleandpouritoverchicken.TheMexicansalsoeatchocolatewithspiceslikechilipeppers.Chocolateisaproductofthetropicalcacaotree.Thebeanstastesobitterthateventhemonkeyssay“Ugh!”andrunaway.Workersmustfirstdryandthenroastthebeans.Thisremovesthebittertaste.Theword“chocolate”comesfromaMayanword.TheMayaswereanancientpeoplewhooncelivedinMexico.Theyvaluedthecacaotree.Someusedthebeansformoney,whileotherscrushedthemtomakeadrink.WhentheSpaniardscametoMexicointhesixteenthcentury,theystarteddrinkingcacaotoo.Becausethedrinkwasstrongandbitter,theythoughtitwasamedicine.Noonehadtheideaofaddingsugar.TheSpaniardstooksomebeansbacktoEuropeandopenedcafes.Wealthypeopledrankcacaoandsaiditwasgoodforthedigestion.Inthe1800s,theownerofachocolatefactoryinEnglanddiscoveredthatsugarremovedthebittertasteofcacao.Itquicklybecameacheapandpopulardrink.Soonafterwards,afactorymadethefirstsolidblockofsweetenedchocolate.Lateron,anotherfactorymixedmilkandchocolatetogether.Peoplelikedthetasteofmilkchocolateevenbetter.Besidesthechocolatecandybar,oneofthemostpopularAmericansnacksisthechocolatechipcookie.Favoritedessertsarechocolatecreampieand,ofcourse,anicecreamsundaewithhotfudgesauce.51.Itwas________thatdiscoveredsugarcouldremovethebittertasteofcacao.A.Theworkersinthechocolatefactory
