university backgrounds of heads of major global companies found that Harvard in the UnitedStates was the most likely place to have studied in.The Times Higher Education magazine ranked the universities attended by chief executive officers(CEO)ofFortune Global 500 companies.There are four US universities in the top 10,with three from France,two fromJapan and one from South Korea.The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table,described as the Alma Mater Index,shows which universities around the world taught thebosses of some of the worlds biggest companies.One in 20 had a degree from a single institution,Harvard.Thisincluded Margaret C.Whitman of Hewlett-Packard,Jeffrey R.Immelt of General Electricand Vittorio Colao ofVodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top ofuniversity rankings.Oxford and Cambridge are absent,but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and KeioUniversity in Japan are included,along with three French universities,headed by the Ecole Polytechnique.Across the top 100,universities from the US dominate,followed by universities in China,Japan,France andGermany.There are more Ceos who went to university in Asia than in Europe.In terms of national comparisons,UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives,with Oxford in 21st place andCambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies,it wasnot attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies,who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences;Walmart is headed by astudent of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas,Austin.Three of theleaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of V olkswagen went to university inStuttgart.28.How many Asian universities are among the worlds top 10 universities for global CEOs?A.OneB.TwoC.ThreeD.Four29.What does the underlined word dominate in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Decrease.B.Accelerate.C.Take the lead.D.Make great progress.30.What can we learn about the UK universities?A.Cambridge University ranks highest among them.B.None of them are among the top 10 list of the survey.C.They performed better than French universities on the list.D.They produced the second most number of global CEOs.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Rankings of the Famous Universities in the WorldB.Which Is Described as the best University in the world?C.Students Are Currently Entering Various top-class Universities.D.Which University Tops the League Table of Where Bosses Studied?DCould your weekend lie-in(睡懒觉)kill you?”asked the Daily mail.It is said in a study that sleeping more atweekends can increase the risk of heart disease.Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whetherits a work or non-work day,its an interesting question.Is the lie-in really so dangerous?Researchers say thatchanging sleep patterns causes social jet lag.Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone-it makes us sleepy during the day.People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited togoing to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock.They were more at risk of these第 3 页 共 7 页2018 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试广东省模拟试卷（二）英语试题changes than earlier sleepers and risers.The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns andchanges in some blood results.It does not show that anyones developing heart disease was because they had lie-ins.Jim Horne,one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University,says the concept ofsocial jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep,so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limitedweekend lie-in.Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week bylying-in at weekends,so we shouldnt stop doing it.However,we should limit the time.Studies show that if you accumulate a five-hour sleep debt during the week,then you only need one and a halfhours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it.It would be a shame to be scared of a lie-in.Studies of sleepand risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep.Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns.Sleep is the test for the state ofones health,and the most important thing that happens when you dont get enough of it is that you feel sleepy.32.Whats the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns?A.Becoming unhealthy.B.Losing weight quickly.C.Easily adapting to time zones.D.Becoming early sleepers and risers.33.What is Jim Hornes attitude towards the weekend lie-in?A.Negative.B.Doubtful.C.Unconcerned.D.Supportive.34.What does the underlined phrase doing it in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Lying-in.B.Worrying.C.Sleeping early.D.Compensating for the limit.35.What can we infer from the text?A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely.B.The weekend lie-in is a bad habit for all people.C.The more hours one sleeps,the healthier he will be.D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Over
