But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注目地) and leave no mark.Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowners permission, except in national parks.Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully equipped campsite(野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access：walking in makes a real adventure.Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good nights sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy(隐秘) and minimum（最小的） influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward(迎风的) side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite found, not madechanging it should be unnecessary.56. You neednt ask for permission when camping in_.A. national parks in England B. most parts of ScotlandC. crowded lowland Britain D. most parts of England57. The author thinks that a good campsite is one_.A. with easy access B. used previously（以前）C. with modern conveniences D. far away from beaches BAmerican researchers have discovered that human brains and sleep patterns are confused by devices(装置) that give out bright lights. Electronics, such as laptops, mislead our minds into thinking that it is still daytime, preventing sleep and increasing the risk of insomnia.Sleep experts say humans natural body clock begins to rest and relax from the day between 9 and 10 pm but the use of computers confuses it.A persons brain biologically becomes awake when the sun is out because bright light after dark causes the brain to stop producing the hormone (荷尔蒙) called melatonin that makes us sleepy.Researchers say blue light from devices such as iPads, which is expected to become a popular reading tool when it comes out later this month, is particularly disruptive (干扰的)during the night when the brain thinks it should be dark.Experts say a good book is a far better way of resting the brain and ensuring a good nights sleep because the bedside lamp(灯) light doesnt affect the brain as it does not look straight into a persons eyes.“Potentially, yes, if youre using an iPad or a laptop close to bedtime. that light can be stimulating (刺激) to the brain to make it more awake and delay your ability to sleep，” Phyllis Zee, a professor at Northwestern University and director of the schools Centre for Sleep & Circadian Biology, told CNN.“And I think more importantly, it could also be enough to affect your circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm. This is the clock in your brain that determines when you sleep and when you wake up. ”Alon Avidan, associate director of the Sleep Disorders Center at the University of California Los Angeles, added, “I wish people would just take a boring book an oldfashioned book and read by a lamp.”60The underlined word “insomnia” in the first paragraph probably means “_”Abeing unable to eat properlyBbrain injuryCbeing unable to fall sleepDlack of energy61Melatonin is the hormone that _.Amakes us sleepyBhelps us relaxed Cprevents us from waking upDmakes us excited62The bedside lamp light doesnt affect the brain because _.Ait doesnt give out blue lightBits not as bright as your laptopCit doesnt enter your eyes directlyDit is adjustable63We can conclude from the passage that _.Aone who uses his laptop often before bedtime can have his body clock disturbedBusing a laptop before bedtime is more harmful than using an iPadCwed better not do anything before going to bedDthe best time to go to bed is before 9 pmCWho hasnt found themselves reaching for the closest food available when theyre tired and stressed? More and more research is proving that this isnt all in our mind. Some foods really do lead to a change in our moods (心情)Carbohydrate (碳水化合物) for calmThis is how some people medicate(治疗) themselves with food by reaching for cookies or pasta(意大利面食) whenever theyre upset. Unfortunately, it doesnt always work. You must eat a meal consisting of 100% carbohydrate, on an empty stomach, to obtain the serotonin (血清素) increase so that you have a good mood.To get the wishedfor effect, you must not eat anything for four hours and then eat at least 30 grams of straight carbohydrate. Dry cereal (谷类食品), a piece of bread with jam, or a potato should do_the_trick.Protein (蛋白质) for powerOf course, sometimes we dont need to be calm and sleepy.Sometimes we need a great deal of mental concentration, so this is when its important to mix protein and carbohydrate. The protein will prevent the tryptophan (色氨酸) from flooding your brain，and the rise in serotonin(血清素) wont occur.Why dessert makes us happyFat and sugar cause the brain to let go endorphins (内啡肽), which send pleasure signals throughout the body. This would be fine, except humans are not particularly good at stopping at one cookie or cake.You can also satisfy your sweet tooth by choosing fruit for dessert.Timing your meals for energyBlood sugar drops after four hours of going without food, causing a decrease(减少) in energy. Eating usually fixes this within 20 to 30 minutes, but dont suppose that eating more will cause a faster increase in energy.When you eat has as much of an effect on your mood as what you eat. If you regularly go for a long period of time between meals, rethink your schedule and plan ahead.64The underlined phrase“ do_the_trick” in the third paragraph means _.Abe extremely smartBintend to cheat someoneCbring about the desired resultDdo something to amuse people65 The function of protein is _.Ato help you keep calm and sleepyBto make you feel energeticCto lead you to slownessDto increase serotonin in your brain66We can infer from the last two parts that _.Afat and sugar can greatly help people feel happyBwe humans tend to eat lots of cookies and cakesCthe more we eat, the faster we will gain energyDwhat we eat is more important than when we eat67The main idea of the passage is _.Aeating for a better moodBeating to make you calmCeating for more proteinDeating to make us strongDGoldies SecretShe turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. Were moving house.; No space for her any more with the baby coming. We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present. People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen. I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air(样子) of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous(以前的) owners. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire. Thats why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless（焦躁不安的）. Eventually I couldnt hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could. By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. We didnt know what had happened to her, said the woman at the door. I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared. She must have tried to come back to them and got lost, added a boy from behind her. I must admit I do miss Goldie, but Ive got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And Ive learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.68. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house? A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.69. In her first few days at the authors house, Goldie . A.I felt worried B. was angry C. ate a little D. sat by the fire70. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she . A. saw her puppies B. heard familiar barkingC. wanted to leave the author D. found her way to her old home71. The passage is organized in order of . A. time B. effectiveness（效果） C. importance D. complexity（复杂性） EIn a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald (秃的) head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third graders cheery dressing didnt mask her pain and weary(疲倦的) eyes. Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic（电子） keyboard, a microphone and speakers（扬声器）. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said. Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone. “Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣, 唱) birds, and finally the girls voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.That was the beginning of Anita Kruses project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one
