• 5．That cold January night，I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco．There I was，walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater．With opening night only a week away，I was still learning my lines．I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time．As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco．City life had become too much for me．
     As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings，I felt very small and cold．I began running，both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers．Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets．
     About a block from my apartment，I heard a sound behind me．I turned quickly，half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun．The street was empty．All I saw was a shining streetlight．Still，the noise had made me nervous，so I started to run faster．Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been．It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk．
     Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore．I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise．Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes，my wallet was nowhere to be found．
     Just as I was about to give up the search，I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me．When a voice called from the inside， "Alisa Camacho？" I thought I was dreaming．How could this man know my name？The door opened，and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes． "Is this what you're looking for？" he asked，holding up a small square shape．
     It was nearly 3 a．m．by the time I got into bed．I wouldn't get much sleep that night，but I had got my wallet back．I also had got back some enjoyment of city life．I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other．
  
  （1）How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work？

  
  A．Cold and sick．
  B．Lucky and hopeful．

  C．She was learning acting in an evening school．

  B．was stopped by a garbage truck driver

• 7．What do you plan to do when you retire？Keep working？Get more exercise？Or learn something new？You may put them on hold.There's a chance that，sooner or later，you might have to move further than you were thinking，as far as Mars.
     On Thursday，National Geographic will show the first-ever Mars show home，giving earthlings（地球人）an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet.In the not-so-distant year of 2037，the igloo-shaped structure could be the home of your future.
     It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil，called regolith，which has been microwaved into bricks.Some parts of the home are recognizable——a kitchen，
  a bedroom—but there are fundamental differences that are important to human survival.
     As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth's，people will need permanent （永久的）shelter from the sun；society will move largely indoors.Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won't have windows.The homes will have simulated solar lighting，or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick，to protect people from dangerous rays（光線）that can pass through six feet of steel，and a double air-locked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.
     "We don't think of our houses as things that keep us alive，but on Mars your house will be a survival centre，99 says Stephen Petranek，author of How We'll Live on Mars.This is not just the stuff of sci-fi. "10 to 20 years from now there will certainly be people on Mars， " Petranek says.
     "We've had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars，but we haven't had the will， " Petranek says.But two main factors have "completely swung public attitudes".
     The private companies' participation has forced government agencies to speed up their game，and influential films such as Gravity and The Martian have caught society's eye.
  （1）What do the underlined words "put them on hold" in paragraph 1 probably mean？

  
  A．Put them off.
  B．Give them away.
  C．Carry them through.
  D．Take them seriously.
  （2）What can we infer about the show home from the text？

  
  A．It has no windows or doors due to security concern.
  B．Its design presents the idea of environmental protection.
  C．It has thick walls keeping the home under propel*pressure.
  D．Its underground passages connect all the buildings together.
  （3）According to Petranek，what has sped up the process of sending people to Mars？

  
  A．The development of related technology.
  B．The competition from private companies.
  C．The great influence of the Mars show home.
  D．The popularity of influential books on Mars.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Living on Mars：Possible or Not
  B．Sending People to Mars：Yes or No
  C．First-Ever Show Home：How Is It Made
  D．Future Home on Mars：What Will It Be like

第二節(jié)七選五（共1小題：每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）

• 8．Everyone sleeps.However，taking time to develop a sleep habit is probably the last thing on your mind and some sleep advice simply can't be forgotten.（1）

  .
     Watch TV until you fall asleep
     It has nothing to do with what you watch- TV news isn't a better pre-sleep choice than TV series.（2）

  .The bright light keeps you awake all night.So even if you nod off （in front of the TV，for example） you probably won't stay asleep for long.
     Sleep with pets
     （3）

  .They get comfortable，and then they move.This goes on all night，and whether you admit it or not，it interrupts your ability to get the level of sleep needed to feel rested.
     Eat fatty，heavy foods when it is too close to bedtime
     Heartburn strikes（侵襲） anyone of any age，but it's the most common GI disorder（胃腸失調(diào)） in older adults.If you've ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal，you've probably found the discomfort of your stomach preventing you from falling asleep or staying asleep.
     （4）

  
     Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever- turning over and over again，never really feeling rested.Well，heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect - it raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed until your body temperature drops to normal，which may take several hours.
     Accept snoring（打呼嚕） as normal sleep behavior
     Snoring may seem as common as breathing，but it's considered the biggest sleep killer，and it's linked to several causes：sleeping on your back，being overweight，having a cold，drinking，or taking drugs.（5）

  .For the snorer，it disturbs sleep by awakening him/her every so often in order to breathe normally.For the partner，the noise can be unbearable.
  
  A.Lower your body temperature before bedtime
  B.Here are some suggestions you'll need to follow
  C.Rather it's the TV's bright light that is the criminal
  D.Exercise heavily when it is too close to bedtime
  E.Here are some bad habits you need to get rid of
  F.More seriously，it can be caused by a dangerous illness
  G.Pets sleep most of the day，and they move a lot when sleeping
