第1题：
Most Americans find the idea of arranged marriages difficult to understand or accept.They believe that two people should marry for love, after a period of dating or courtship.During that period, the prospective marriage partners are supposed to learn enough about each other to decide whether or not they will be able to build a successful marriage.Today in America, it is common for people to live together as a way of preparing for marriage.The idea of an arranged marriage seems very old-fashioned indeed.But aren't all marriages arranged in one way or another? In the United States marriages are seldom formally arranged, but quite a lot of informal arranging goes on before two people become husband and wife.People who get married are introduced to each other by friends.These friends have already decided that the two people are right for each other and arrange for them to meet.In the United States this kind of arrangement is very common.Because friends have such great influence, their approval of a dating partner is very important.Families also exert open and subtle pressures on their children to influence their choices of marriage partners.Parents often arrange dates for their own children.One parent often tells a friend about her beautiful daughter or handsome son.Also, parents can meet the perfect marriage prospect for their son or daughter through business relationships.Since parents often assist their children financially, they feel that they have the right to help the bride and groom select where they will live, what type of furniture they will purchase, and what their life-style. will be like.

第4题：
More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
1 Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
2 Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems,than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
3 These findings,which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine,demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside, more than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea”for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed,but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance,one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
5 For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionaires,in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.
6 Kridke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more like-ly to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence,he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed,then they'll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.
A: Kripke's Research
B: Dangers of Habitual Shortages of Sleep
C: Criticism on Kripke's Report
D: A way of Overcoming Insomnia
E: Sleep Problems of Long and Short Sleepers
F: Classification of Sleep Problems
整个段落只包含一个句子，该句主要以前的研究揭示了慢性睡眠不足的潜在危险。这与B项“习惯性睡眠不足的危险”呼应一致。所以答案为B。
A和F容易相互成为干扰项，这对于该段主题的判断具有一定的迷惑性，但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”是属于问卷上要回答的内容，是和Kripke的直接研究有关，所以判断“Kripke的研究”是段落的主题，因此A是答案。
剩下的3个选项中，选项F作为第1小题的干扰项成为本小题答案的可能性很小，选项C意为“对Kripke报告的批评”，整个段落主要提到了Kripke的研究发现和他的看法： Kridke found ... (Kridke发现）;Kripke noted ... (Kripke指出……); he added...（他补充说……）, 根本没有涉及到对Kripke的批评，因此C是干扰项，答案应该为D。该段首先分析了睡眠时间长的人出现睡眠问题的原因，然后指出克服失眠（睡眠问题的具体表现）的一种方法。
利用题干中的名词短语。good night's rest和名词people作为定位线索，在文章中找到相关句：These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psycho-somatic Medicine,demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night．依据该句可直接判断F项“睡眠超过8小时”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语long sleepers作为定位线索，同时关注题干中的其他用词，这样在文章中找到相关句：Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight（与long sleepers呼应）appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night．依据该句可直接判断E项“出现睡眠问题”是答案。
利用题干中的名词短语one of the sleep problems, the middle of the night 作为定位线索，在文章中找到相关句：Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning. A项fall asleep again“再次入睡”是fall back to sleep的 近义结构，所以答案为A。
利用题干中的名词结构one survey, higher risk of dying作为定位线索，在 文章中找到相关句：one report（与 survey呼应）demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than peo-ple who sleep more．依据该句可直接判断C项“睡眠不足7个小时”是答案。
