浙江绍兴一中2016-2017学年高二上期中考试英语试卷(解析版)

一、阅读理解

1、阅读理解??? According to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have.

Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.??? Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly

58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up (蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps.??? The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and these people (the

28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.??? The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself, according to Phipps.??? Yearner (向往) sleepers are next on the list. About

25 percent of people sleep in this style―on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the best results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead.??? Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style makes up

17 percent of the population. They sleep face down with arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, feel like they have little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.??? Inconclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: A good night'

s sleep set you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake. 根据短文内容,选择最佳答案,并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内.

2、阅读理解??? Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and fairly deserted.??? The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldn'

t see his face and he was approaching us very rapidly. The man'

s actions made my dad very nervous. Dad warned us that we'

d better try to make it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didn'

t like my dad'
