Question

Expert(专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us tat every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指)with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “ early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.

A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱)than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study last, they are able to work well in class.

【解析】

试题分析：现在很多孩子晚上都睡得很晚，这样他们每天的睡眠不够，从而造成第二天在课堂上的学习效果不好。而且孩子熬夜还可能是在玩游戏。专家觉得孩子应该有充足的睡眠，有好的学习习惯，这样才对他们的学习有好处。

1.1】A推理判断题。根据短文第一段的内容可知，专家们建议孩子每晚应该有8-10小时的睡眠，但是在中国很多孩子晚上都学习到很晚，他们的睡眠不足，短文举的例子就是为了证明这一点。故选A。

2.B推理判断题。根据短文第二段的内容A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱)than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another可知，如果孩子得不到充足的睡眠，他们第二天在学校的表现就会不好。由此可知选B。

3.3】A词义猜测题。根据短文第一段Like thousands of students “ early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.可知，很多孩子都在早上6点之前起床。early birds早起的鸟儿，根据文意可知，这里指的是早起的孩子们。故选A。

4.4】C 细节理解题。根据短文第二段中Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.可知，stay up late和下句话中late into the night同义，意思是熬夜到很晚。故选C。

5.5】C推理判断题。根据短文的最后一段Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study last, they are able to work well in class可知，有好的学习习惯，一些聪明的学生就能够学得很好。故C是正确的。
