　　(2017·东北三省三校第二次联考，C)

　　UGG boots have been a winterweather fashion for several years now, combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style. What many UGGenthusiasts don't know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.

　　Doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.

　　Dr. Ian Drysdale, head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. ?These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn't mean it's good or right，” he said. “The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It's a slipper. You wouldn't normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that's indoor. If you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time, someone will come up and say it's not a good idea.” Dr. Drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “plastic” and developing when they are growing. ?If that structure is developing in an inappropriate way，” he said，“then the ultimate structure will be deformed.”

　　Mike O'Neill, a consultant surgeon, said，“As the foot slides around, you get wear and tear

　　(磨损) on the joints on the inside of the foot. The ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems.?

　　UGG Australia, who makes the designer version of the boots, told The Daily Wirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of ?knockoffs (仿制品)” which lack reinforced heels in their boots.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了雪地靴因它的时尚、舒适、保暖等特性而备受年轻女孩的青睐。但研究人员发现，在它时尚的外观背后，隐藏着一些不为人知的健康隐患。

　　1．Teenage girls prefer to wear UGG boots because of the following EXCEPT ________.

　　A．design

　　B．comfort

　　C．quality

　　C．it's not a good idea to wear boots like UGG outside all the time

　　3．The underlined word “deformed” is closest in meaning to ________.

　　A．shaped

　　B．strengthened

　　C．reformed

　　答案：D　词义猜测题。由语境可知，年轻女孩子的骨头正在发育，具有一定的可塑性。如果骨骼结构以一种不合适的方式发育的话，骨骼就会损伤，发生变形。shaped合适的，有计划的；strengthened使加强的；reformed革新的；damaged损伤的，毁坏的。此处与倒数第二段中“back problems”相照应。故D项正确。

　　阅读理解2017·潍坊5月模拟When you tidy your messy bedroom，it gets a lot easier to find things.Dreams may work the same way for a messy brain，helping you learn by organizing memories and ideas.

　　To test how much dreams can help learning，Robert Stickgold had some students play a shape­fitting game called Tetris (俄罗斯方块) for a few hours and then go to sleep.Soon they were dreaming of falling Tetris shapes.Interestingly，the worst Tetris players had the most Tetris dreams and improved their game the most.Similar tests have shown the same results for all kinds of skills.

　　As we dream，many important tasks are getting done.The brain decides what to keep and what to forget.It is connecting new experiences to older learning.In fact，the brain is learning all night long.

　　Another important task of dreams may be to help us deal with emotions (情绪)．At night，emotions are in the driver’s seat.People who have had an upsetting experience often dream

　　about

　　it

　　afterward.Often

　　the

　　dream event

　　changes somehow—another way the brain tries to make the memory less upset.So if your best friend moves away，you might dream that you’re the one who’s moving.In fact，dreams have a proven power to improve mood，and people who dream about what’s bothering them usually feel better sooner than those who don’t.

　　Everybody dreams for a couple of hours every night—in the course

　　of your life，you’ll spend about 25 years asleep and 6 years dreaming.There’s probably no single answer to the question why we dream，but there doesn’t have to be.One dream might help you remember your math facts，while another might lead to a new invention，or give you a fun，crazy story to tell your friends.It’s all in a night’s work for our busy，mysterious brains.

　　答案：CIt is not unusual to see your deskmate yawn(打呵欠) as he complains that he didn’t have a good sleep the night before.Many teens don’t get enough sleep because they have too much homework，which keeps them up at night.Some teens cannot sleep at night even when they want to.

　　Studies show that during your teenage years，the body’s biological clock is reset，telling you to sleep later at night and wake up later in the morning.

　　But changes in the body clock aren’t the only reason teens lose sleep.Lost of people have insomnia(失眠)．The most common cause of insomnia is stress.But all sorts of things can lead to insomnia.These include physical discomfort，emotional troubles and even sleeping environment.It’s common for everyone to have insomnia from time to time.But if it lasts for a month or more，go and see a doctor.

　　Some people have a condition that causes stomach acid(酸) to move backward towards the chest.This produces the uncomfortable，burning feeling called heartburn.So even if the person doesn’t notice the feelings of heartburn because he is sleeping，he may feel tired the next day.

　　Most teens have nightmares sometimes.But，if they are frequent，a person’s sleep pattern can be seriously affected.The most common cause of nightmares is emotional problems，such as stress(压力) or anxiety.If you have them a lot，it’s a good idea to talk to a doctor.

　　Doctors encourage teens to make lifestyle changes to develop good sleeping habits.You probably know that coffee can keep you awake，but did you know that playing video games or watching TV does the same?

　　PROS: When you sign up, you fill out a short survey that helps identify your personal style and subsequently finds people with similar taste that you can follow for inspiration.

　　阅读理解2017·潍坊5月模拟“Oh，you must have been a spoiled (宠坏的) kid.You must be really bossy.I wonder what you’re going to be like to deal with？” That’s often the response Angela Hult gets when people find out she’s an only child，she told ABC News.Despite such negative (消极的) remarks，Hult has decided to have only one child herself.And she’s not alone.

　　According to the US’ Office for National Statistics，women approaching the end of their childbearing years had an average of 1.9 children in 2004，compared with 3.1 for their counterparts in 1976.The percentage of one­child families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 to 26 percent in 2007.

　　But even though only children are becoming increasingly common，the traditional view that they’re selfish，spoiled and lack social skills holds strong.Even parents of only children，like Hult，are made to feel guilty about having only one child.Worried that they’re being selfish and endangering their child’s future，they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice.Soon，however，they ask themselves：is this social prejudice really reasonable?

　　“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers (同龄人)，” Susan Newman，a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US，told ABC News.

　　This raises another question：why are only children still viewed with such suspicion?

　　“There is a belief that’s been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous，both for you and for the continuation of your race，” Toni Falbo，a professor of educational psychology，told the Guardian.“In the past a lot of children died.You’d have had to be crazy to only have one.”

　　Times，of course，have changed and infant mortality (婴儿死亡率) has largely reduced.So what do only children themselves say?

　　Kayley Kravitz，a blogger for The Huffington Post，grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience.“Being an only child taught me the most valuable skill of all：the ability to be alone，” she said.

　　1．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

　　B．Are only children common?

　　C．Are only children dangerous?

　　D．Are only children different?

　　2．What does Susan Newman mean?

　　A． Only children are as good as their peers.

　　B．Only children are more selfish and spoiled.

　　C．Parents feel guilty about having only one child.

　　D．Parents will endanger their only child’s future.

　　3．What is the common belief since human existed?

　　A．The infant death rate always stays high.

　　B．People are crazy to have only one child.

　　C．It’s easy for only children to earn their living.

　　D．It’s hard to continue the family line with only one child.

　　4．An only child like Kayley________.

　　A．must be difficult to persuade

　　B．can possibly learn to be alone
