Passage Two


Whether it's curled up, flat on the stomach or stretched out across the bed, the way people sleep reveals their personality, a British sleep expert said. Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment 2 and Advisory 3 Service, [29]has identified six common sleep positions and what they mean.Crouched in the fetal position is the most popular sleep pattern and favored by 51 percent of women, according to the results of the study he conducted for a large hotel group. Fetal sleepers 4 tend to be shy and sensitive while people [30]who take the soldier position, flat on their back with arms at their sides, are quiet and reserved. Sleeping on one's side with legs outstretched and arms down in what Idzikowski refers to as the log, indicates a social, easy-going personality. But if the arms are out-stretched in a yearning 5 position, the person tends to be more suspicious. The freefall, flat on the stomach with the hands at the sides of the head, is the most unusual position. Only 6.5 percent of people prefer it and they are usually rash and sociable 6. Unassuming, good listeners usually adopt the starfish position-on the back with outstretched arms and legs. Idzikowski, who identified the positions by comparing personality traits of people, their preferred way of sleeping and the most common positions, said [31]once a sleeping style is adopted it is rarely changed.


答案解析:


Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.


29. How many common sleep positions did the professor identify?


[C]解析:文中提到“教授区分了6种睡觉姿势……”,故选C。


30. What is true about sleepers in the soldier position?


[D]解析:短文说,“以战士姿势睡觉的人安静而不苟言笑”,故选 D。选项可分为两组:A、C共有一个shy,差别在sensitive与suspicious;B、D共有一个quiet,差别在sensitive和reserved。毫无疑问,本题问某些人的性格。细节题,听到什么选什么。


31. What is not revealed by the study?


[B]解析:短文结尾处称:“某种睡觉风格一旦养成就很难改变。”B与此相反,符合问题要要求。
