This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon (午前). For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (独白) as: "Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (阻碍) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (呵欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration (专注) for your sharper hours.71. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening72. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member's energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.73. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ________.A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. wake up earlierD. go to bed earlier74. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A. help to keep your energy for the day's workB. help you to gain steam for work early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day75. When should you do routine work?A. During your sharpest hours.B. During the afternoon.C. Just after getting out of bed.D. When you have the most energy.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.In the early days of sea travel, seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病), a blood disease which causes swollen gums, livid (铅色的) white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion. On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew seriously ill. The men's lives were saved by Iroquois Indians (易洛魁印第安人) who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by something lacking in the sailors' diet. Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be warded off by the giving fresh fruit to the sailors.Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious diseases if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called "vitamins". Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with a lack of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase our chances of catching colds.The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say, during the extended periods of religious fasting (斋戒), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to supply the missing vitamins.76. Which of the following happens because of scurvy?A. People become hungry.B. People lose blood.C. People become livid.D. People feel pain in their gums.77. How would the sailors ward off scurvy on long trips?A. They took fresh fruit with them.B. They stopped in places to relax.C. They often found Indians to help.D. They ate vegetable leaves regularly.78. Which vitamin helps protect us against colds?A. Vitamin A.B. Vitamin B.C. Vitamin C.D. Vitamin D.79. What supplies all the vitamins we need to be healthy?A. Any one of the different sorts of green vegetables.B. Diets like those taken by religious people.C. Certain important elements known by letters.D. Mixed diets with different fruits and vegetables.80. When should people take vitamins?A. When wanting to be healthy.B. When joining a religion.C. When dieting to lose weight.D. When protecting against sickness.Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.For most people learning to drive, the driving test arises ahead as a major barrier. It is also a general source of conversation whenever drivers are gathered together. There are probably more tall stories about the driving test than about any other motoring subjects; the most remarkable thing about those stories is the number of times the old ones appear again, years after they were first heard, in new and exaggerated forms.All driving examiners have had to pass a very strict selection process, followed by at least six weeks' training. In the course of this training the Department makes sure that their driving is of a consistently high standard.Driving test centers are chosen with equal care. It would be nice to have centers and examiners town by town. But this is just not possible, because the centers have to be at places where there is enough parking space for candidates (考生) and where there are enough test routes. Routes are carefully chosen to make sure that they are all roughly comparable-the proportion of right and left turns, hills, pedestrian (行人) crossings and so on. The object of all this is to make sure, as far as possible, that all candidates in the driving test have to cope with the same sort of conditions whether they take the test in New York or California.The work that examiners do in actually carrying out tests is checked continuously by supervising examiners. This is to make as sure as possible that every candidate for the driving test has a proper and equal chance of showing the examiner, in the words of the Regulations, "that he is competent to drive without danger to and with due consideration for other users of the road." This is all that the examiner is concerned with.81. It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. whenever people learning to drive get together, they often talk about the driving testB. new and exaggerated stories about the test are always appearingC. there are more tall stories about the driving test than any other subjectD. the same stories about the test reappear years later82. According to the passage, driving examiners _______.A. are trained for six weeks, then have a difficult selection interviewB. are given regular driving tests themselves by supervising examinersC. sometimes have more than six weeks' trainingD. are tested during the selection process to see if their driving is of a high standard83. There isn't a test center in every town because ________.A. some examiners can go to occasional centers from the permanent centersB. routes and conditions have to be the same everywhereC. there has to be enough parking space for the candidates and the examinersD. not every town could provide enough test routes close to permanent centers84. We can judge from this passage that ________.A. the detailed records are checked after each test by a supervising examinerB. sometimes candidates are tested by a supervising examinerC. it's true that some examiners never pass anyone on Thursday afternoonsD. examiners are only concerned with a candidate's ability to drive85. It can be inferred from this passage that ________.A. test routes have roughly the same conditions everywhereB. candidate drivers pass the testC. all candidates are treated equally by the examiners during the testD. some test centers do not have enough parking spacePart 1 Multiple Choice (每小题: 1 分; 满分：50 分)1.D2.A3.C4.D5.A6.B7.C8.C9.D 10.C11.A 12.B 13.A 14.B 15.D 16.B 17.D 18.A 19.A 20.D21.A 22.A 23.B 24.D 25.B 26.A 27.A 28.A 29.C 30.D31.D 32.B 33.D 34.C 35.A 36.A 37.B 38.D 39.C 40.C41.D 42.B 43.B 44.B 45.B 46.
