Some jobs require employees to work night shifts. Working the night shifts often means better money, but that also comes negative side effects.

The human body is naturally inclined（傾向于）to work during the day and sleep at night. 1. Your body will be able to fully adjust to this new style of rest and work. However, according to the National Sleep Foundation, constant exhaustion（疲倦） may be part of the lifestyle of working the night shift.

In addition to exhaustion from working the night shift, sleep disturbances can occur, even when your body has the opportunity to get some shut-eye during the day. 2. Instead of getting a full eight hours of sleep, which is what most people need, it’s typical for night shift workers to only take a long nap after their shift.

Working night shifts can also cause social and relational problems. Because many social events happen during the evening, people who work the shift miss out on important relationship-building opportunities. 3. When husbands or wives rarely see one another or rarely go to bed together, this will affect their communication and their marriage life.

4. Exhaustion, sleep problems, personal and relational issues and other health issues, over time, can lead to depression if not taken care of properly.

5. According to the National Sleep Foundation, you can avoid these problems by working with others during your shifts, taking naps during your shifts and setting up a support group with other employees to discuss the problems you’re facing.

A. Working night shifts can help us a lot.

B. So working the night shift will take an adjustment.

C. Doctor and nurses often work night shifts to care for their patients.

D. In the long run, this can be harmful to relationships, especially marriage.

E. What’s worse, depression is likely to occur with all of these factors.

F. Of course, you can do something to reduce the side effects of working night shifts.

G. Many people have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep during daytime hours.

科目：高中英語 來源：2017屆山東省淄博市高三第一次模擬考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

When Columbus ‘sailed the ocean blue in 1492’ wasn’t looking for America, he was searching for a route from Spain to China; America just got in the way.

The Spanish were after the riches of Asia: silk, dates, spices. Until later adventures discovered how to sail to the Far East, trade with China depended on the Silk Road. The trade between China and Europe brought huge wealth, so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East. Eventually a way appeared; as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards, the overland route diminished.

Now China is seeking to revive(復(fù)興) the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in new road, rail links, oil pipelines and other basic facilities. It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea.

But the plan is also to attract more tourists. Actually, China does pretty well for tourists already; it’s the world’s fourth most visited country. Two cities — Beijing and Shanghai — possess the tourism business, with significant interest in destinations such as Xi’an and Chengdu. While Beijing is modern, cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China.

Other places featured include Xi’an, the former capital of China, where you can come face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect China’s first emperor in the afterlife. From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan, China’s western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road.

There is also a four-day coach journey along the original Silk Route through the Xinjiang region to Kashgar. Along the way, at Kurla, you can visit the ruins of the Iron Fortress.

1.What does the underlined word “diminished” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Discovered. B. Disappeared. C. Disturbed. D. Displayed.

2.What is the purpose of reviving the Silk Road?

A. To rebuild the ruins of the Iron Fortress.

B. To construct new roads and other basic structures.

C. To make transportation westwards faster and cheaper.

D. To draw more inland tourists’ attention to the western gateway.

3.What can we learn about the Silk Road?

A. It is nothing but a trade route.

B. It may destroy some cities’ ancient style.

C. It attracts foreign investment of ? 4 trillion.

D. It promotes the tourism industry of China.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. The Charming of the Silk Road B. The function of the Silk Road

C. The origin of the Silk Road D. The future of the Silk Road
