Directions: In this section, there is a passage with 10
blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of
choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through
carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a
letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2
with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the
bank more than once. Most people who travel
long distances complain of jet lag (时差). Jet lag makes business travellers less
productive and more 1 to make mistakes.
It is actually caused by 2 of your
"body clock". The body clock is designed for a regular rhythm of daylight and
darkness, so that it is thrown out of balance when it
3 daylight and darkness at the "wrong" times in a new time
zone. The 4 of jet lag often persist
for days while the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time
zone. Now a new anti-jet lag system is
5 that is based on proven extensive pioneering scientific
research. Dr Martin Moore Ede has devised a practical strategy to adjust the
body clock much sooner to the new time zone through 6
exposure to bright light. The time zone shift is easy to
accomplish and 7 most of the discomfort
of jet lag. A successful time zone shift depends on knowing the exact time to
either seek or avoid bright light. Exposure to light at the wrong time can
8 make jet lag worse. The proper
schedule for light exposure depends a great deal on specific travel plans. Data
on a specific flight itinerary (旅行路线) and the individual’s sleep pattern are
used to produce a Trip Guide with 9 on
exactly when to be exposed to bright light. When the Trip Guide calls for bright
light you should spend time outdoors if possible. If it is dark outside, or the
weather is bad, or you are on an aeroplane, you can use a special light device
to provide the necessary light 10 for a
range of activities such as reading, watching TV or working. A.
