26、are dozing off（打盹）or even completely asleep.Today,the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep.This lack(缺乏)of sleep is a serious problem,especially as students are doing more than ever with their time.They come to school early,spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests,
27、then run off to practices and meetings,and come home to be faced with even more work.And the homework load these days is not light;teachers give hours worth of homework each night.Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly.Yet the period of this nine hours sh
28、ifts as a child gets older.After puberty(青春期),the bodys internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m.So even if a student falls asleep at eleven,they would need to sleep until at least 8 a.m.to get a full nights sleep.Considering the time at which most high s
29、chools in this country begin,those nine hours are clearly being shortened.Few high schools start after 8 a.m.However,there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of 晨鸟教育 Earlybird their school day.In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morni
30、ng,the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students.They note that the students miss class less,pay more attention in class,perform better in class,and report lower levels of depression(沮丧).The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that mor

34、ther clean energy could survive without government support.Now the question is how far it can spread.The number of electric vehicles.which was about 1 million in 2015,last year reached 2 million.In electricity generation,too,trend is with the greens.In the first half of this year wind,solar and hydr
35、o generated a record 35%of Germanys power.Greater success is breeding greater ambition.California is proposing to reach 60%renewable energy by 2030:176 countries have clean-energy goals.Hawaii,Americas most oil-dependent state,has promised to be 100%renewable by the middle of the century.So have 48
36、poor countries vulnerable to climate change.This week the number of multinationals making a commitment to running their operations on 100%renewable 晨鸟教育 Earlybird energy rose to 100.But not every target is helpful.To see why,consider that goal of 100%renewable energy.It makes solving climate change

38、 of greenhouse-gas emissions,renewable heating gets little attention.Transport policy is unpredictable,too.Carmakers may hit their goal of annual sales of 10 million electric vehicles in a decade,but battery-powered road transport,shipping and aviation are dreams.A much-quoted claim that America cou
39、ld rely on wind,solar and hydro alone for its electricity has recently been bitterly criticized by a group of respected academics.Most importantly,a 100%renewables target confuses means with ends.The priority for the planet is to stop net emissions（净排放量）of greenhouse gases,especially carbon dioxide.
40、Putting too much emphasis on wind,solar and other renewables may block off better carbon-reduction paths.After decades of investment,it is wrong to leave nuclear power off the table.Carbon emissions in Germany actually rose because it chose to phase out nuclear power gradually and so burned more coa
41、l.New technologies,such as direct air capture systems designed to separate carbon dioxide from the air,may in time prove vital.Likewise,greater energy efficiency could reduce emissions by even more than using renewables would.32.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.the problem of climate chan
42、ge will be solved by using 100%renewable energy B.with new technologies,Germany successfully cut down carbon emissions C.it is probable that ships will one day be powered by battery D.America is not likely to completely rely on wind,solar and hydro energy one day 33.According to the passage,carbon e
43、missions may be reduced by .A.promoting energy efficiency B.blocking off carbon-reduction paths C.using non-renewable heating D.abandoning electric vehicles 34.The underlined phrase phase out in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .A.ignore B.reduce C.use D.invent 35.In which column can this
