第三部分阅读理解（共20 小题：每小题 2 分，满分40 分）

A

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reas on lies in side their bodies. At that time —about eight hours after you wake up -your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.

In many parts of the world, people take naps（小睡） in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates （气候）, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional （传统的）, people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.

Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can slao happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap -even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

31. Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?

A. They eat too much for lunch.

B. They sleep too little at night.

C. Their body temperature becomes lower.

D. The weather becomes a lot warmer.

32. If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?

A. About 12:30 pm.

B. About 1:30 pm.

C. About 2:30 pm

D. About 3:30 pm

33. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Just for a Rest

B. All for a Nap

C. A Special Sleep Pattern.

D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.

4. Because he inven ted a new dance. / Because he started the “ twist ” dance.

5. Much more exercise.

5. visiting改为visit。agree to do同意做某事。agree后跟动词不定式作宾语。

我的大学和大学所在的城市。as well也，是固定结构。

8. surprising 改为surprise。It will be a big surprising for them 是一个主系表结构，从句子结构来看，应用名词作表语，surprising是形容词，名词是surprise。

9. . but改为and/ so,根据句意，此处并不表转折

10. anything 改为something。

anything —般用于否定句、疑问句或条件句中，肯定句中用somethi ng。
