17、. West Virginians' lack of sleep was about double the national rate, perhaps a side effect of health problems such as obesity, experts said. 2Nearly 1 in 5 West Virginians said they did not get a single good night's sleep in the previous month. The national average was about 1 in 10, accordi

18、ng to a federal health survey. Tennessee, Kentucky and Oklahoma also were notably above average. In contrast, North Dakota had fewer problems in sleeping, with only 1 in 13 reporting that degree of sleeplessness. Health officials do not know the exact reasons for the differences. 3In the survey, peo

19、ple weren't required to answer the question “why they were not able to get enough rest or sleep”. But experts noted several possible explanations: West Virginia ranks at or near the bottom of the nation in several important measurements of health, including obesity, smoking, heart disease and th

20、e proportion of adults with disabilities. 4Studies have increasingly found that sleeping problems often occurred among people with certain health problems, including obesity. “You would expect to see poorer sleep within a chronically (慢性地) diseased population，” noted Dr Ronald Chervin, a sleep disor

21、ders expert in University of Michigan. 5Financial stress and work shifts can play roles in sleeplessness, too, Chervin added. He suggested those may be contributing factors in West Virginia, an economically depressed state with tens of thousands of people working in coal mining. 6The report was base

24、how to improve their situations? (no more than 25 words)_课时作业(三十九).1.A考查动词辨析。compromise 折中，互让，妥协。句意：我们需要与他们就房子的价格做一下折中。2D考查动词短语辨析。show off 炫耀。show up 出席；show out 领某人出去；show in 领某人进去。3B考查动词用法。hesitate需要接不定式作宾语。4A考查动词辨析。condemn尤其指对不道义的事情进行“谴责”；scold指“训斥”；criticize指对某人的过失“批评，指责或评论”；blame指对犯错误和做不好事情的人进行

25、指责，让其负责。恐怖袭击应该受到“谴责”，故选A。5D考查动词辨析。overlook指因匆忙而疏忽或视而不见，或没注意到。房子被树环绕，因此根本看不到。6B考查非谓语动词的用法。下句是省略回答，补充完整为：Being left alone to face a troublesome milk case has made him so upset recently.所以下句的省略回答仅是what所指内容，充当主语，所以用动名词作主语(注意被动关系)。7B考查非谓语动词。分析题干可知，exhibit和句子主语The Thinker之间是动宾关系，因此用过去分词。when exhibited是whe

26、n it was exhibited的省略句。A项表示主动含义；C项作谓语动词，而此处不能用谓语动词；D项表示正在发生的动作，不合题意。8A考查名词辨析。句意：这位百万富翁去世了，留给他的孩子们一大笔财产。a large fortune庞大的财富。money不能和a large 搭配。9A考查动词词义辨析。句意：政府对城区的空气质量按1到5的等级进行分类：优；良；轻微污染；差；危险。classify“分类”；arrange“安排”；distribute“分配”；divide“划分；分开”。A项符合题意。10C考查介词短语辨析。in terms of依据；按照。句意：一个政府的成功，既需要根据经

27、济的发展也需要以人们的幸福来衡量。11D考查状语从句。句意：一辆小汽车对三口之家来说足够了，除非你需要更多的空间存放行李。once引导条件状语从句，意为“一旦”；in case意为“万一；以防”；if意为“如果”；unless意为“除非”。故D项符合题意。12C考查动词短语。pass sb./oneself off as“(某人/自己)冒充，假扮”。答句句意：因为他冒充主席，并且造成了巨大的损失。pass away“死亡”；pass down“传下去”；pass on“传递”。13C考查交际用语。答句句意：振作起来！还会有很多其他的机会的。cheer up“振作起来”，符合语意。well done “做得很好”；what a pity“真遗憾”；all right“好的”。14C考查非谓语。句意：小鸟被关在笼子里半天了，饿极了。由句意可知for half a day作时间状语，并且和后面的动作became具有明显的先后顺序，故用分词完成式来作状语。15C
