19. （10 分）阅读理解
Beauty sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look
more attractive (有魅力的) to others.
A few bad nights is enough to make a person look "especially" more ugly, their sleep
experiments show.
The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were
asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.
A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a
row.
The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the
bad sleep.
Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge ( 评价) them on
attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to make
friends with this person in the picture?"
The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they
were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.
The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students. The
researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In
other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.
Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said "Judgement of attractiveness is
often unconscious (无意识的), hut we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small
like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep
is to us."
（1）When did the researchers take make-up free photos?
A . After two nights good sleep.
B . After two nights bad sleep.
C . Before the experiment.
D . After both two nights' good sleep and two nights' had sleep.
（2）The researchers asked the strangers to do the following except _______.
A . telling who looked healthier
B . telling who didn't have many friends
C . telling who missed a lot of sleep
D . telling who was attractive
（3）What kind of friends did the strangers like to make?
A . The people who were tired.
B . The people who were sleepy.
C . The people who were unhealthy.
D . The people who were attractive and energetic.
（4）What does the underlined word "socialize "mean in Chinese?
A . 合伙
B . 玩耍
C . 交往
D . 共事
（5）According to the passage, which of the following is the best title?
A . Beauty sleep, More attractive
B . More sleep, More Friends
C . Less sleep, Fewer friends
D . No attractiveness, No friends
20. （6 分）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
Yang Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told
that her neighborhood used to be farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at
the new road, beautiful park and supermarkets, Yang couldn't see any sign that food was once grown
there.
Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country
areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no
more. But these changes have caused problems too, warns Gan Zang chun, an official at the Ministry
of Land and Resources (国土资源部).
"Chinese cities are growing fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller. This is
really bad for the country's ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers," said Gan
last Monday.
The country needs farmland to grow food for the people of China. But the recent rise in house
prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for
sale.
Pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in China's farmland.
About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.
The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares(公顷) of farmland. But there
are only about 121.8 million hectares left. "It will be really difficult to reach the goal," Gan
said. He said that the government would fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming
desert.
（1）The article seems to tell us that _________.
A . farmland is in danger
B . countrysides are turned into towns
C . farmland has been sold
D . Chinese cities are grown fast
（2）From what Gan Zangchun said, he is worrying about _________.
A . China's development
B . land and resources
C . Chinese people's life
D . illegal land use
（3）What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert?
A . 120 million hectares.
B . 121.8 million hectares.
C . 2.67 million square kilometers.
D . Millions of square kilometers.
