第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项，并将答案写到答题卡上。

A

After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.

There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.

Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.

If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.

21. During REM, _______.

A. you move restlessly B. you start dreaming

C. your mind stops working D. your eyeballs move quickly

22. The underlined word “drowsy” in the last paragraph probably means______.

iPhone 6, which many people have been thirsty for, will be unveiled(揭幕) on September 9. It could go on sale to the public from Friday, September 19.

Apple has launched a new iPhone every year since it unveiled the range in 2007, selling more than 500m units since then, and has traditionally launched key products in September.

The iPhone 6, Apple’s ninth iPhone model, is expected to be released in two different sizes:4.7-inches and 5.5-inches. The smaller of the two will be available first. Like iPhone5, the new model will come in silver , gold and space grey.

The iPhone 6 will be powered by new operating system iOS 8. Through iOS8, users will be able to monitor(监控) their health and fitness via HealthKit. HealthKit puts together numerous healthcare and fitness apps, such as blood pressure and heart rate monitors through partners including Nike, and allows them to communicate with each other.

Users will be able to control home appliances and other connected devices through HomeKit, Apple’s connected home framework. Similar to HealthKit, this app will organize your smart devices to control them in one place. One method of control will be via Siri-for example, you could tell Siri you were “going to bed”, and it could dim the lights, lock your doors, close the garage door and set the room temperature.

With the introduction of both of these key features, it’s likely the iPhone 6 will take on even more of a lifestyle device role. It is designed to organize our lives and make everyday tasks easier and more efficiently completed.

Suppliers are believed to be preparing to produce up to 80m of the new handsets by the end of December, according to the Wall Street Journal. In July, Apple announced strong financial results for its third quarter, with significant sales growth in China and profits ahead of expectations at $7.7bn.

28. If you are a customer, when can you buy an iPhone6?

A. After December 31. B. From September 19.

C. After September 9. D. At the moment.

29. Who could Siri be according to the passage?

A. It is a door keeper. B. It is a health kit.

C. It is an app of iPhone 6. D. It is an intelligent button on the wall.

30. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Apple has the most advanced technology in the world.

B. iPhones enjoy increasing popularity in China.’

C. Apple is the third biggest mobile phone producer in the world.

D. Chinese people buy more iPhones than people in other countries.

31. What is mainly talked about in the passage?

A. iPhone 6 will make more money than ever.

B. iPhone 6 has the most advanced technology.

C. iPhone 6 will enjoy great popularity around the world.
