It’s enough to give anyone an earache. Women spend an average of about five years on the phone during their working lives, as research has showed.

You won’t be surprised to learn that women spend a longer time than men on the phone.

Both sexes make and receive almost the same number of calls ---- 277,000 for men and 288,000 for women. But women spend 13,500 more hours in total on their conversations.

More than half of those chats are work-related but people spend on average twice as long on a personal call (ten minutes) as on a business one.

Despite the explosion in mobile phone ownership, most people still prefer to use landlines, the poll(民意調查)found.

However, when people are tired of talking, the top excuse for getting a caller off the line is to say “Someone’s at the door”. Other falsehoods(謊言)include “I’m cooking” and “I need to go to the toilet”.

Eight out of ten phone users admitted not answering their phones on purpose if they did not want to speak to the caller.

One in three people thought calls after 10 pm were unacceptable but a quarter of those polled said they did not mind calls up to midnight.

Two-thirds admitted they had people in their address books who they knew they should ring but never got round to doing so.

Joseph Blass, managing director of telecom(電信)company Toucan, said, “As a nation, we love to chat on the phone but it is quite astonishing when we look at the total number of calls we make in a lifetime”.

1.According to the poll, when someone on the phone says “Sorry, someone is at the door”, he or she may mean _________.

       A.I want to stop chatting

       B.I am going to the toilet

       C.I am too tired to talk any longer

       D.I must go to open the door for someone

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements if TRUE?

       A.Women spend about five years talking on the phone during their lifetime.

       B.On average, work-related calls are only half as long as personal calls.

       C.Women make and receive exactly the same number of calls as men do.

       D.Men spend a longer time than women on the phone.

3.From the text, we know that _________.

       A.80% of people always refuse to answer a phone call

       B.most people never ring the people in their address books

       C.calls around midnight are acceptable to some people

D.Joseph Blass was one of the people who were polled

4.What Joseph Blass says in the last paragraph shows that ________.

       A.it’s no wonder that we all love to chat on the phone

       B.people insist on often phoning their families and friends

       C.the amount of time people spend on the phone was unexpected

D.The total number of calls people make in a lifetime is astonishing

科目:高中英語 來源:天津市2010屆高三下學期第二次模擬考試試卷(英語) 題型:閱讀理解

Let’s do some sleep math.You lost two hours of sleep every night last week because of a big project due on Friday.On Saturday and Sunday,you slept in,getting four extra hours.On Monday morningi, you were feeling so bright-eyed that you only had one cup of coffee,instead of your usual two.But don’t be cheated by your energy.You’re still carrying around a heavy load of sleepiness, or what experts call“sleep debt”——in this case something like six hours,almost a full nights’ sleep.

Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should be getting and the amount you actually get.It’s a deficit(缺乏)that grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep.“People accumulate sleep debt gradually without being noticed,”says William C.Dement,founder of the Stanford University Sleep Clinic.Studies show that such short—term sleep deprivation leads to a foggy brain,worsened vision,and trouble remembering. Long-term effects include obesity,insulin(胰島素)resistance, and heart disease.A survey by the National Sleep Foundation reports that we’re losing one hour of sleep each night一一more than two full weeks of sleep every year.

The good news is that,like all debt, with some work,sleep debt can be repaid. Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch up.For the long—term lack of sleep,take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern.

Go to bed when you are tired,and allow your body to wake you in the morning(no alarm clock allowed).You may find yourself catatonic(有緊張癥的)in the beginning of the recovery cycle:expect to have ten hours shut-eye per night. As the days pass, however,the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease.

So earn back that lost sleep——and follow the dictates of your innate(固有的)sleep needs. You’ll feel better.“When you put away sleep debt,you become a superman,”says Stanford’s Dement,talking about the improved mental and physical capabilities that come with being well rested.

51.If you have short—term sleep deprivation, ____________.

A.you can think and remember things clearly

B.you can still see everything very clearly

C.you can drive your car easily

D.you may have a poor sight

52.The example of sleep math is used to show____________

A.in what case you build up a sleep debt

B.why you need six hours’ sleep every night

C.why you are full of energy even when you don’t haye enoug sleep

D.you should drink coffee to keep energetic when you don’t have enough sleep

53.The author begins Paragraph 3 with ____________.

A.an order          B.a story             C.a definition            D.an example

54.By saying the undedined sentence in the last paragraph,Dement means ____________

A.a superman always needs a lot of sleep

B.you will be in a good state with enough sleep

C.you can become superman after you repay your debt

D.You will become superman if you don’t make up for sleep debt

55.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A.Can you catch up on lost sleep?             B.How can you keep energetic?

C.Can you have a good sleep?                  D.What is sleep debt?
