【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,作者通过一项研究与对比举例的方法让大家明白周末马拉松式的“补觉”并不能扭转工作日睡眠不足对健康的负面影响。
人们应该把睡眠放在优先地位。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“Researchershavelongknownthatroutinesleepdeprivation(缺乏)cancauseweightgainandincreaseotherhealthrisks,includingdiabetes”研究人员很早就知道长期的睡眠缺乏会导致体重增加和像糖尿病这样的健康风险,可知,人们很早就知道长期睡眠不足会给身体带来的危害。
故选B。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第四段中KennethWright说的最后两句话可知:
长期睡眠不足给健康造成的危害是长期的,就像曾经的抽烟习惯一样——人们抽烟,没有看到立即的效应,但是现在人们会说抽烟是不健康的生活方式。
睡眠不足就像是早期的抽烟一样。
也就是说作者用这个比喻是想让大家知道终究会有一天人们会注意到睡眠不足带来的坏处。
故选D。
(3)考查词义猜测。
划线单词后有一个破折后,起解释说明的作用。
由破折后的句意:
减少不必要的“睡眠小偷”式行为,比如看电视节目或者花时间在电子设备上。
可知,我们需要把睡眠放在优先的地位。
也就是说要把睡眠看的比看电视节目、看电子设备等等这些行为更重要。
故选D。
(4)考查主旨大意。
第一段就说明了文章中心。
第一段段意为:
一项发人深省的新研究表明,周末马拉松式的“补觉”并不能扭转工作日睡眠不足对健康的负面影响。
也就是说周末的补觉是一个谎言。
故选A。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测,推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查,是一篇健康类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。

(4)B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,研究表明,关于“无礼”行为作为一种“传染性”行为是可以避免的。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的“Youdon'tevenhavetobethetargetofthebadbehavior”你甚至不必成为不良行为的目标,可知,第一段前半部分在描述了这种无礼行为的“传染性”之后,是在引出一项关于这种行为的新发现。
故选C。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第三段中的“Eachmorningtheparticipantsalsoviewedashortvideo,describingworkplaceinteractionofsomekind.”每天早上,参与者还观看了一段描述某种工作场所互动的短视频;第四段中的“Participantswhowatchedtherudenessvideosreportedseeingorexperiencingrudenessduringtheday…”观看了无礼视频的参与者报告称,他们在白天看到或经历了无礼行为……和第五段中的“Notallparticipantswereaffectedbytherudenessvideos,however.”然而,并不是所有的参与者都受到了粗鲁视频的影响。
可知,让参与者观看视频是为了让他们受到更多的影响而研究他们的情绪变化。
故选C。
(3)考查细节理解。
根据第四段中的“Participantswhowatchedtherudenessvideosreportedseeingorexperiencingrudenessduringtheday,andtheywerealsomorelikelytoescapefromfellowemployeestoavoidbeingthevictimsofrudenessthemselves.Theyreportedtheiroverallworksufferedthatdayasaresult.”观看了无礼视频的参与者报告称,他们在白天看到或经历了无礼行为,而且他们也更有可能逃离同事,以免自己成为无礼行为的受害者。
他们报告说,他们的整体工作因此受到影响。
可知,一些参与者在观看视频之后会逃避与人交流以免成为受影响者。
故选D。
(4)考查细节理解。
根据第五段中的“Afewweeksbeforethestudybegan,theparticipantscompletedanevaluationthatmeasuredtheirself-confidenceandemotionalstabilityamongotherthings.Theparticipantswhoscoredhigheronthisevaluationweresignificantlylesslikelytobeinfluencedbytherudeness.”在研究开始前几周,参与者完成了一项评估,评估内容包括他们的自信心和情绪稳定性等。
在这项评估中得分较高的参与者受粗鲁行为影响的可能性明显较低。
可知,不易受到影响的人较为冷静沉着。
故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇教育类阅读,考生需要准确捕捉细节信息,并根据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。
