（1）句意：每年，世界各地都有一个节日来庆祝良好健康睡眠的重要性——世界睡眠日。由前面的定冠词the，可知此处应填入一个名词，important是形容词“重要的”，与其对应的名词是importance“重要”，故答案填importance。

（2）句意：据说每晚8小时的睡眠时间被认为是平均睡眠时间。由题干可知主语eight hours与动词consider之间存在被动关系，所以应用被动语态，文章时态为一般现在时，时间作主语谓语动词用单数，所以be动词用is，consider的过去分词是considered，故答案填is considered。

（5）句意：对于一些学生来说，他们想早点睡觉，但是他们总是担心他们的学业。keep doing sth.或者keep+形容词，都表示“使…处于某种状态”，worried，是形容词，故答案填worrying/worried。

（6）句意：他们不能很快入睡。联系上文语境，结合提示词可知此处句意为“他们不能很快入睡。”“入睡”fall asleep，固定词组，前面有情态动词can't，所以这里用动词原形，故答案填asleep。

（7）句意：为了解决这类问题。这里应用动词不定式表示目的，故答案填To solve。（8）句意：科学家建议学生应该少做功课，多睡觉。根据后面的more time to sleep可知此处应表达的是“作更少的功课”，句中暗含比较级，little的比较级为less，故答案填less。（9）句意：比如白天小睡20分钟。such as意思是“比如”，as是介词后接动词ing形式，故答案填taking。

If they get ________ （lose）, people can know about their names, addresses and telephone numbers of their family members by scanning the codes.

【答案】 called；by；widely；to store；it；since；will appear；a；with；lost

【解析】【分析】本文讲述了二维码的应用。

（1）句意：它也叫做快速响应码。根据call与主语是被动关系，已有助动词is，故此处是过去分词，故填called。

（2）句意：这种特殊代码是1994年一家日本公司发明的。根据was invented是被动语态可知用介词by，被，故填by。

（3）句意：全世界都广泛地使用它。副词修饰动词used，widely是副词，故填widely。

（4）句意：二维码码用于储存信息。 be used to do，被用来做某事，故此处是不定式，故填to store。
