Question

16．"Sleep-disordered breathing"is a term for a group of conditions that can interfere with nornlal breathing while people sleep．These include snoring，mouth-breathing and sleep apnea（窒息）．Sleep-disordered breathing can do more than just leave people feeling tired the next day．It can also affect people's health．In children the effects can include behavioral and emotional problems．
In a new study．1ed by Karen Bonuck at the Einstein College of Medicine．researchers asked parents about their children's breathing from when they were babies up to about age seven．The study finds sleep-disordered breathing is associated with a fifty percent increase in outcomes including hyperactivity（多动症），aggressiveness and problems relating to other children．
Ms．Bonuck says the more serious the breathing problems，the more serious the behavioral issues were likely to be．Other studies have：linked sleep with children's behavior，but this study was extensive enough to：reject other possible causes．
How well do you sleep？A popular belief is that sleep gets worse with age．But．in another new study，those who reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep were people in their eighties．
Researchers did a telephone survey of American aduhs．Michael Grandner at the University of Pennsylvania medical school says the original goal was to confirm that aging is connected with increased sleep problems．The survey did find an increase during middle age，worse in women than men．But except for that，people reported that their sleep quality improved as they got older．At least they felt it did．
Mr．Grandner says．"Even if sleep among older Americans is actually worse than in younger adults，feelings about it still improve with age．"
In the study，health problems and depression were linked with poor sleep．But，based on the study．Mr．Grandner says older people who are not sick or depressed should be reporting better sleep．"If they're not．they need to talk to their doctor．"he says．He says heahtlh care providers generally dismiss sleep complaints from older adults as a normal part of aging．

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了研究发现，睡眠呼吸紊乱可以干扰睡觉的人的正常呼吸，而睡眠不好会严重影响孩子的行为问题，甚至可能导致多动症，对于老人而言，尽管随着年龄的增长睡眠质量会提高，但是睡眠不好会导致他们生病甚至引发绝望的情绪．

解答 66．D．细节理解题．根据文章第一段""Sleep-disordered breathing"is a term for a group of conditions that can interfere with nornlal breathing while people sleep．"可知睡眠呼吸紊乱"可以干扰睡觉的人的正常呼吸，故选D．
67．B．细节理解题．根据文章第E二段"Ms．Bonuck says the more serious the breathing problems，the more serious the behavioral issues were likely to be"Bonuck女士说，呼吸紊乱问题越严重，孩子可能会患有越严重的行为问题，因此呼吸问题会影响孩子的行为；故选B．
68．A．细节理解题．根据文章第四段"But except for that，people reported that their sleep quality improved as they got older"可知出人意料的是，人们感觉睡眠质量提高了随着他们年纪的增长；故选A．
69．B．推理判断题．根据文章最后一段"Mr．Grandner says older people who are not sick or depressed should be reporting better sleep"可知没有生病或者感到绝望的老年人通常有良好的睡眠，可推测我们不能忽视老人对于睡眠不好的抱怨，因为这可能涉及到他们的身体健康；故选B．
70．A．主旨大意题．通读全文，可知文章主要讲研究的新发现，关于睡眠质量对于孩子和老人的影响；故选A．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
