While it's easy enough to brush off a few sleepless nights with a pot of coffee and the occasional desk nap, you may be doing more harm than you realise. According to a new study from Surrey University, having less than six hours of sleep per night can actually shut down genes that play a key role in the body's 36 of self-repair.
We rely on our genes to constantly produce the proteins needed to 37 the wear on our bodies'tissue that we suffer throughout the day. But when scientists divided 26 volunteers into two groups—one of which slept for less than 6 hours per night for an entire week and the other for 10 hours per night—some of the sleep-deprived group's genes actually stopped working.
The functions of 711 genes in total were altered in some way, 38 ones involved in metabolism ( 新陈代谢), inflammation (炎症), immunity and stress. There is some good news though: a week of normal sleep was enough to 39 the malfunctioning genes back to peak condition, but should the40  sleep patterns continue, health problems that aren't, quite so easily reversible, like obesity (肥胖)and heart disease, have a 41 chance of cropping up. And this study only scratches the 42.
according to Professor Colin Smith, one of the scientists  43  in the study: This is only a week of sleep 44 and it is only five and a haft or six hours a night. Many people have that amount of sleep for weeks, months and maybe even years so we have no idea how much 45 it might be.

3、根据以上内容，回答题。
        What would it take to persuade you to exercise? A 36 to lose weight or improve your figure? To keep heart disease, cancer or high blood pressure at bay? To lower your blood pressure or cholesterol (胆固醇) ? To protect your bones? To live to a 37 old age?
        You'd think any of those reasons would be sufficient to get Americans exercising, but 38 of studies have shown otherwise. It seems that public health experts, doctors and exercise devotees in the media--like me--have been using ineffective measures to 39 people who sit too much to become, and
remain, physically active.
        For decades, people have been 40 with messages that regular exercise is necessary to lose weight, prevent serious disease and 41 healthy aging. And yes, most people say they value these goals. Yet a vast majority of Americans--two-thirds of whom are overweight or fat--have thus far tailed to
swallow the "exercise pill".
        Now research by psychologists 42 suggests it's time to stop thinking of future health, weight loss and body image as 43 for exercise. Instead, these experts recommend a strategy marketers use to sell products: portray physical activity as a way to enhance 44 well-being and happiness.
        "We need to make exercise 45 to people's daffy lives," Michelle L. Segar, a research investigator at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan, said in an interview.
"Everyone's schedule is packed with nonstop to-do's. We can only fit in what's essential. "
A．attract
B．current
C．desire
D．eagerly
E．foster
F．healthy
G．improve
H．long
I．motivators
J．numbers
K．relevant
L．scores
M．strongly
N．surrendered
O．surrounded

4、 Questions are based on the following passage.
        The number of postgraduate students travelling from non-EU countries to study at UK universities has fallen for the first time in 16 years, fuelling fears that the government's immigration crackdown is discouraging thousands of the brightest students from continuing their studies in Brid.
        Jo Beall, British Council director of education and society, said the fall would cause alarm among UK vice-chancellors (大学行政主管). "The sector was expecting a decline in growth, but the actual reduction in postgraduate numbers is of real concern as international-students make up the m~ority of numbers in many postgraduate courses and research teams in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. ""Attracting the brightest and most ambitious postgraduate and research students is critical if the UK is to maintain its quality reputation for research," Beall said.
        Universities get a third of their tuition (学费) fee revenue from non-EU students. There is growing fear among vice-chancellors that this revenue-as well as the cultural, academic and economic benefit international students bring--is being put at risk.
        Tim Westlake, director for the student experience at Manchester University, said students whose families relied on them working in the UK after their studies to gain experience and repay the fees were starting to look elsewhere.
        Last month the home secretary, Theresa May, announced that embassy staff would interview more than 100,000 applicants in an attempt to prevent bogus (假冒的) ones entering the country. She also said immigrants were responsible for pushing up UK house prices. The comments followed the introduction of new limitations on students' right to work during and after their studies.
        Beall said:" Government statistics for the first time provide real evidence that the changes to UK visa regulations may have discouraged many students from applying to the UK, and in particular postgraduate students Who are so important to the UKs research output. The UK enjoys an eXcellent reputation around the world for the high quality of our education system, so the government needs to ensure that institutions have all the support they need to attract international students who make a tremendous academic, cultural and economic contribution to the UK. "
What has caused the decline of the number of non-EU postgraduates in the UK?
A．The increase in tuition and fees.
B．The ever-rising living expenses.
C．Changed immigration policies.
D．Universities' tightened budgets

7、Questions are based on the following passage.
　　Politics is an emotional business．Still，many people found themselves unusually moved by the historic presidential inauguration．Watching the huge crowds，we saw laughter,cheers，hugs—but also many tears．
　　It made us wonder ,why do people cry ?It is believed that tears must be good for us—a way to calm the mind and cleanse the soul．Yet studies show that crying sometimes makes people feel worse．
　　Three researchers in Florida and the Netherlands recently looked more deeply into the subject．
　　They examined detailed descriptions of crying experiences．Psychologist Jonathan Rottenberg at the University of South Florida says they wanted to study crying as it happens in everyday life，not in a laboratory．The team analyzed information from the International Study on Adult Crying．As Dart of that study,3，000 people in different countries，mostly college students，wrote about recent crying experiences．They noted causes，surroundings and any people involved in the event．They also reported how they felt after they cried．
Professor Rottenberg says the research showed that all crying experiences are not created equally．
　　Crying does not always make a person feel better,he says．About lo percent of people reported feeling worse after they cried．But a third felt better after crying．And a majority reported the experience was helpful．The research showed that people who cry alone may not do as well as those with others around．
People who reached out for emotional support at the time——and received it——reported better resuIts from the crying experience．But those who felt shame or embarrassment while crying were less likely to report that crying had been helpful．
　　Research has shown that women cry more often and more intensely than men，but it mav not be to better effect．The new findings did not show that a person’s sex was a predictor of beneficial crying．
　　In other words，just because women cry more does not mean they are more likely to have a"good"cry．
　　The paper entitled／s Crying Beneficial?appeared in December in Current Directions in Psychologica，Science．Scientists say the science of crying is still in its infancy．
According to the passage，which of the following statements about crying is TRUE?
A．Crying is absolutely good for people’s health．
B．Those crying with others around will feel better than those crying alone．
C．Crying will help a lot for those who felt shame or embarrassment while crying．
D．The benefits of crying are related to a person’s sex．


8、 Questions are based on the following passage.
　　Because of satellite links which now enable broadcast news organizations to originate liveprogramming from any part of the globe, the entire world is becoming  one giant sound stage fortelevision news. As a result, Shakespeare's famous line, "all the worh is a stage," has taken on aninteresting new twist in meaning.
　　Even before today's worldwide satellite links were possible, the growing effect of broadcast news
　　technology on national and international politics was becoming increasingly evident.
　　Because television is a close-up medium and a medium that seerns to most readily involve
　　emotions, it is most effective when it is revealing the plights of people;  During the Vietnam War, readingabout war was one thing, but war took on a deeper and more unsavor' ( 令人讨厌的)  dimension  when 　　it was exported directly into U. S. living rooms night after night by television. Public opinion eventuallyturned against the war and to some measure against President Johnson who was associated with it. As
　　a result of the public opinion backlash (消极反应) during these tines, the Pentagon was thereaftermuch more careful to control what foreign correspondents and TV crews would be allowed to see andreport.
　　It was during this time that President Carter brought the issue of human rights to the centre of hisforeign policy, and, to some degree, to the centre of international pol tics. "Human rights is the soul ofour foreign policy," Carter said. "Of all human rights the most basic s to be free of arbitrary violence,whether that violence comes from government, from terrorists, from criminals, or fi'om self-appointedmessiahs (救世主) operating under the cover of politics or religion. "
　　Although political viewpoints have changed since then, because of the emotional nature of humanrights, this has emerged as the "soul" of television news. The transgression (侵犯) of human rightshas been the focus of many, if not most, major international television  news stories. The reporting ofthese stories has created outrage in the world, prompted attempts at censorship by dictators, and in many
　　cases resulted in the elimination of human rights abuses.

The passage mainly discusses____________.
A．the evolution of international politics in the United States
B．the broadcast media gives its primary concern on human rights
C．the global television communication has a huge impact on pet,pie's emotions 
D．the broadcast media plays a growing role in international poli ics
