三、閱讀理解

1.In 99 cases out of 100, insomnia(失眠) is caused by a disturbance of the natural sleep rhythm. The reasons why the rhythm has been disturbed are many and they range from drugs that are being taken to treat a separate medical condition to anxiety. A sudden change in lifestyle. or climate could do it, or just that you’ve fallen into the habit of dozing off(打瞌睡) in front of the television.
  Certainly the body must have enough sleep. Tests that deprived people of sleep have proved lack of it can cause fairly rapid physical and mental deterioration(惡化). But on the other hand, it doesn’t need too much. So if you’re sleeping in front of the TV, you won’t sleep soundly at night. Similarly, if you’re holidaying in Spain, and spending your days sleeping on the beach, chances are that you’ll be wide awake at bedtime.
  Of course, the problem for my summer insomniacs is that, despite an almost overwhelming urge to put their heads down on their desks in the afternoons, they aren’t getting any extra sleep to compensate for their wakeful nights. For the worst sufferers I sometimes prescribe(開藥方) a mild sleeping pill which, after a few nights, reestablishes the body’s natural sleep rhythm, conditioning it to accept the heat.From the passage, insomnia results from ______.

A.the interrupting of the ordinary sleep pattern
B.being unable to sleep
C.keeping awake at night
D.drugs to treat a special disease

2.Lack of sleep will lead to ______.

A.a sudden change in lifestyle
B.a good condition in body
C.the habit of being sleep in front of the television
D.a quick drop in both body and mind condition

7.The conditions under which young children work___________.

A.have improved since a hundred years ago
B.are even worse than those a hundred years ago
C.are similar to those a hundred years ago
D.are exactly the same as those a hundred years ago

8.Girls work is ________________.

A.not harmful to the health though it is heavy
B.not harmful to the health because it is light
C.harmful to the health though it is light
D.harmful to the health because it is heavy

9.Young children go to work ______________.

A.because they are forced to
B.in order to be skillful in a certain kind of work
C.in order to earn money for education
D.in order to be paid well

10.To solve the problem of child labor, the writer suggests _______.

A.punishing lawbreakers with severer fines, improving children’s working conditions, and confining employment of children to light industries
B.improving laws of protecting children’s interests, looking over factories more closely, and punishing lawbreakers with severer fines
C.improving laws of protecting children’s interests, giving them lighter work, and raising their payment
D.confining employment of children to small industries and family businesses, looking over factories more closely, and improving the system of education

6.Child labor- the employment of children in industry, often against their will- has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories.
  Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they are given to do is often light, it is often harmful to the health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working conditions. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to a parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work.
  The solution to the problem of child labor is clearly better laws to protect young children, greater supervision(監(jiān)督) of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their childhood lives.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A.Children are often willing to work in large factories.
B.Most children are working in British factories.
C.The working conditions for children have been improved since Dickens’ times.
D.Charles Dickens described in his novels the poor working conditions for child labor.

B.recover their normal sleep
C.keep awake at night
D.compensate for their missing sleep

A.singer
B.sufferer
C.doctor
D.tourist
