Sleep experts have long known that getting a good night’s sleep is important.

It helps kids perform their best during the day. A recent study shows that sleep helps improve problem--- solving skills and creative thinking.

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

When you get a cut, you cover it with a bandage. How do you know when to change it? Maybe you just wait until it’s wet or dirty. But when people have long-term or chronic (慢性的)wounds that take months to get better, changing bandages too early or to late could make healing take even longer. Changing the dressing on a wound too often can provide an opportunity for infections to get in. But if a bandage gets very wet very quickly from the inside, it might be filling with pus (脓)--a sign an infection has begun. Judging just when to change is important.

Chronic wounds are common in people who are older or who have certain health conditions. Chronic wounds affect around 6.5 million people per year in the United States. When Anushka Naiknaware, 13, learned about chronic wounds, she decided to make a device that could alert a person when it’s time to change their bandages.

After a lot of trials and errors, the teen settled on a design that used an “ink” filled with carbon nanoparticles(纳米粒子). The teen loaded her ink into a printer cartridge (墨盒) to print onto her special paper, which was to be made into bandage. Well, actually, Anushka loaded her ink into many, many printer cartridges. Just changing a printer cartridge isn’t easy, and filling one is even harder.

The small printed papers cost only 5 to 10 cents, Anushka estimates. The Bluetooth sensor is more expensive, but the teen notes that it could be used over and over again. She also knows there is a long way to go before her design can help patients. It hasn’t been tested on a real person yet. “You have to make sure everything works perfectly,” she says.

1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. The right time to change bandages is significant.

B. Chronic wounds with a bandage won’t heal.

C. Changing bandages often will help cure wounds.

D. Older people are victims of chronic wounds.

2.What does the underlined word “alter” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Assist.　　 B. Remind.　　 C. Comfort.　　 D. Control.

3.What is stressed in Paragraph 3?

A. The shape of the printer cartridge.

B. The discovery of materials of the bandage.

C. The amazing features of carbon nanoparticles.

D. The difficulty Anushka had with her invention.

4.What could be the best title for the text?

A. A bandage is widely used for injuries.

B. A girl decides to treat chronic wounds.

C. A bandage that can tell the changing time.

D. A teen invents a device that heals wounds.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

When seeing the doctor, you feel better to know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo.

A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or an empty capsule. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen?

The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it. But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better.

Placebos don’t always work. The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has lots of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all.

A placebo can also have bad effects. If patients expert a bad reaction to medicine, then they’ll also show a bad reaction to the placebo. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it.

The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo.

1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. The placebo.　　 B. The bad effect.

C. The body.　　 D. The medicine.

2.What do we know about the placebo according to the passage?

A. It contains some sort of medicine

B. It won’t function if you are negative about medicine

C. People who don’t believe placebo can’t be healed by it

D. Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body

3.Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?

A. Because patient needs help badly.

B. Because patient believes in the doctor and the doctor wants to help the patient.

C. Because doctor knows better about the patient’s body.

D. Because doctor has carefully studied medicine.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Placebo: Work on Your Mind

B. Placebo: The Most Powerful Medicine

C. Placebo: The Best Doctor

D. Placebo: Heal the Body
