This arrangement allowed us to start off the 43 half of the school day feeling energetic.When I started high school in the USA, however, things 44 . Students are only given 30 minutes for lunch and have to 45 to classes right afterward.I’ve been in the USA for two years, but I’m still 46 with the absence of a nap in my school schedule. I often feel 47 during the class following lunch. And when I get home from school, I can’t start my homework without first taking a power nap for 30 minutes.This difference in work schedules between China and the USA made me 48 how napping habits vary (不同)among different countries. In Spain, for example, people have their traditional “siesta”, meaning a short nap of 20 or 30 minutes every afternoon, while businesses and schools in countries like China, Mexico and Greece tend to give a mid-afternoon break of one or two 49 .Even if I’m currently living in the USA, I still believe that napping can refuel (补充燃料) a person who doesn’t have much energy left after 50 work.

But few have done this as well as Coco (《寻梦环游记》), Disney’s up-to-date film.“One thing’s for certain—54 ,” Katie Walsh wrote a film review in The Record.The film comes from the Mexican holiday of Dia de los Muertos (亡灵节), or Day of the Death in English. In the story, a young boy named Miguel wants his family to help with his musical dream. On Dia de los Muertos, an accident takes him to the “Land of the Dead”. There, Miguel meets his dead family members and has an adventure.As The Atlantic said, the “Land of the Dead” is not a scary place. There are friendly skeletons(骷髅). They can cross a bridge made of flowers on Dia de los Muertos to “visit” their living family members. As long as their family puts their photos on a family shrine (神龛), they can do this every year. Otherwise, their spirits will disappear completely.With its wild imagination, the story sends a clear message about the importance of family. Family is at the center of Mexico culture. On Dia de los Muertos people in Mexico remember their ancestors just like the characters in the film. They also share food and drinks to keep the spirits of their family members alive. The film teaches kids to keep and respect the memories of their elders, Peter Debruge wrote in Variety.54. Which of the following sentence can be put into the underlined place?A. You are going to call your teachers.B. You are going to chat with your neighbours.C. You are going to call your grandparents.D. You are going to chat with your friends.55. What does the underline word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The memories of the elders.B. The dead family members.C. The living family members.D. The photos of family members.56. What is the story mainly about?A. It teaches the kids to know the importance of family.B. It teaches the kids never to give up their musical dream.C. It teaches the kids how to face the friendly skeletons bravely.D. It tell the kids what is the Mexican holiday of Dia de los MuertosCDr. Pamela Fisher has put music in over 1,100 animal shelters (庇护所), saying that it makes dogs and cats quiet and even cut down on barking. Fisher asked artists around the world to share dog-friendly and cat-friendly music. Her “community” has grown to include 50 shelters that keep over 115,000 dogs and cats.One fan was Tina Gunther. In the countryside, winter temperatures for dogs and cats usually ran below zero and the wind blew nearly every day. To calm the animals, Gunther tried the old radio. Besides poor reception (接收效果), the news and sports had people shouting and crying loudly. “It makes great difference,” she said. So she and her husband had to buy a second one for the cats. “When we play songs they like, they go and sit by the speakers.” Gunther said.No one has studied the influence of Fisher’s music idea. But others have looked at how music and noise in general affected animals. A study found that animals were more likely to sleep and less likely to bark when Mozart, Beethoven and other similar music were playing, but not when heavy metal and other sounds were playing.Fisher validated her idea useful, which guided a survey of more than 500 shelters. The survey found barking reduces by half and animals more relaxed. They are still happy, and they just aren’t barking.Beyond the music, the shelter owners do what they can to reduce stress of the dogs, including toys, food and spending time with them. “Reducing their stress helps them show off their personalities and they can get adopted (收养) quickly,” said Fisher. “The music also helps the owners and that benefits the animals too.”57. When dogs listen to dog-friendly music, what will they do?A. They will get excited.B. They will calm down.C. They will never bark.D. They will become clever.58. Which question has been answered in the passage?A. What music influences animals.B. How music protects animals.C. When music works on animals.D. Why music has an influence on animals.59. What’s the meaning of the underline word “validated” in paragraph 4?A. refusedB. doubtedC. changedD. proved60. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It is hard for the dogs to be adopted.B. The dogs in the shelter are only fond of toys.C. Reducing stress is good for the dogs.D. The owners of the shelter like cat-friendly music.五、词汇（共15小题，每小题1分，共15分）（每空一词）。
