While it's easy enough to brush off a few sleepless nights with a pot of coffee and the occasional desk nap, you may be doing more harm than you realise. According to a new study from Surrey University, having less than six hours of sleep per night can actually shut down genes that play a key role in the body's 36 of self-repair.
We rely on our genes to constantly produce the proteins needed to 37 the wear on our bodies'tissue that we suffer throughout the day. But when scientists divided 26 volunteers into two groups—one of which slept for less than 6 hours per night for an entire week and the other for 10 hours per night—some of the sleep-deprived group's genes actually stopped working.
The functions of 711 genes in total were altered in some way, 38 ones involved in metabolism ( 新陳代謝), inflammation (炎癥), immunity and stress. There is some good news though: a week of normal sleep was enough to 39 the malfunctioning genes back to peak condition, but should the40  sleep patterns continue, health problems that aren't, quite so easily reversible, like obesity (肥胖)and heart disease, have a 41 chance of cropping up. And this study only scratches the 42.
according to Professor Colin Smith, one of the scientists  43  in the study: This is only a week of sleep 44 and it is only five and a haft or six hours a night. Many people have that amount of sleep for weeks, months and maybe even years so we have no idea how much 45 it might be.

You shoud write your answer on Answer Sheet 2．
中國教育工作者早就認識到讀書對于國家的重要意義。有些教育工作者2003年就建議設立全民讀書日。他們強調，人們應當讀好書，尤其是經典著作，通過閱讀，人們能更好地學會感恩、有責任心和與人合作，而教育的目的正是要培養這些基本素質。閱讀對于中小學生尤為重要，假如他們沒有在這個關鍵時期培養閱讀的興趣，以后要養成閱讀的習慣就很難了。
題目二：
Directions：For this part,you are A．lowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English．You shouM write your answer on Answer Sheet 2．
為了促進教育公平，中國已經投入360億元，用于改善農村地區教育設施和加強中西部地區農村義務教育。這些資金用于改善教學設施、購買書籍，使16萬多所中小學受益。資金還用于購置音樂和繪畫器材。現在農村和山區的兒童可以與沿海城市的兒童一樣上音樂和繪畫課。一些為接受更好教育而轉往城市上學的學生如今又回到了本地農村學校就讀。
題目三：
Directions：For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English．You shouM write your answer on Answer Sheet 2．
中國應進一步發展核能，因為核電目前只占其總發電量的2％，該比例在所有核國家中居第30位，幾乎是的。2011年3月日本核電站事故后，中國的核能開發停了下來，終止審批新的核電站，并開展全國性的核安全檢查。到2012年lo月，審批才又謹慎地恢復。隨著技術和安全措施的改進，發生核事故的可能性完全可以降低到程度。換句話說，核能是可以安全開發和利用的。
注意：此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答。
