All mammals (哺乳动物) sleep. Some stand up when they are sleeping and others lie down. All people need to
sleep too. No one really knows why we sleep, but we know it is important for us to get enough sleep.
It looks as if nothing is happening when we sleep, but our bodies and brains are actually very busy. Our bodies
are busy building new cells (细胞). We need them to grow. Without sleep, children do not grow and may get sick
more often. During sleep, our brains are busy putting our ideas in order and then storing them in our memories.
Without sleep, it is harder to remember things.
Sleep is important. When people do not get enough sleep, they do things more slowly, get sad easily and make
mistakes.
We all need sleep, but how much sleep we need changes as we grow up. A newborn baby sleeps from sixteen
to twenty hours a day, but as people get older, they need less sleep. The average ten-year-old children sleep ten
hours a day. Most adults (成人) spend about eight hours a day sleeping. Some older people only spend about six
hours a day sleeping.
We may not know why we sleep, but we know we look better and feel better after a good night’s sleep because
our bodies and our brains are ready for a new day.
28. When we sleep, ________.
A. nothing happens B. we feel tired C. our bodies build new cells D. we get sad easily
29. The word “storing” in Paragraph2 probably means “________”.
A. changing B. sharing C. describing D. keeping
30. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us ________.
A. why sleep time changes with age B. why people all need sleepC. how much sleep people need D. how people can get enough sleep
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C

同的年龄段需要多少时间的睡眠等。

very busy. Our bodies are busy building new cells (细胞).”可知，当我们睡觉时，我们的身体会产生新的细胞。
故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前句“During sleep, our brains are busy putting our ideas in order”可猜测出，睡觉期间，
我们的大脑忙于整理我们的想法，应是将它们储存在我们的记忆中，故下划线单词“storing”在第二段中
的意思可能是“储存”。故选D。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读第四段内容，尤其根据第四段首句“We all need sleep, but how much sleep we need
changes as we grow up.”可知，第四段主要告诉我们人们需要多少时间的睡眠。故选C。

Do you like to learn a foreign(外国的) language? Do you think English is easy to learn? Foreigners say
learning Chinese is not easy for them. We use a different character for each word. For foreigners, it is hard to
memories them. They find reading Chinese poems(诗), writing Chinese characters and understanding the same

2062 last year, while 2561 people chose Spanish.
Just as the foreigners do, we also learn foreign languages. Different languages carry different cultures(文化).
So learning a foreign language is necessary(必要的), When we learn a foreign language, we not only have a useful
tool of communicating but also experience a new culture. What’s more important, learning a foreign language well
will help us tell our own stories to the world.31. When foreigners learn Chinese, they think ________.

Wonderful Bones
Do you know how many bones there are in your body? When you were a baby, you had about 330 bones, and
now you have just over 200 bones. It’s because some bones join together as you grow.
Many Uses
Many bones protect your body. For example , the skull（头盖骨）surrounds your brain and protects it from
harm. The ribs (助骨) protect your heart and lungs（肺）.
Other bones are used to support the body. Your hands and feet have more than half of the bones in your body!Longest Bone
The longest bone in your body is in your leg. It is the femur(股骨), and it goes from your hip(臀部) to your
knee (膝盖). It is a very important bone because it carries all of your weight and helps you move from place to
place.
Smallest Bone
Would you believe the smallest bone in your body is in your ear? It is the stirrup(镫骨). It is about the size of a
grain (粒) of rice. When sound waves (波) come into your ear, the stirrup shakes back and forth. It allows the sound
waves to reach your brain.
The bones in our bodies are big, small, and in-between sized. They help us grow, protect us, and allow us to
move. They really are wonderful.

Junior Eight. Tom, one of my classmates, used to fail the English exam while I did well in it. One day, he asked me
to help him. And I enjoyed helping others. So from then on, whenever he had problems, he would ask me, and I
was patient to share practical study method with him and encouraged him. We always did English exercise together
after school, and he learned very fast. He improved his English skills with my help. At the same time, I found myEnglish is better and better too.
