Many years ago when the summers seemed longer and life was less complicated, we had rented a cottage 31 a river in the heart of the country 32 the whole family was going to 33 a three-week holiday. There were four of us: me, Mum and Dad, and Mum’s sister, Auntie June. Oh, and I mustn’t forget to 34 Spot, our little dog. I was 35 to go off by myself all day, 36 I promised to be careful and took Spot with me for 37. One day I was out fishing with Spot when we heard a lot of shouting in the 38 followed by a scream and splash. I was a bit 39 so I called Spot and we both hid 40 a bush where we could see but not be 41 . After a few moments, a straw hat came drifting down the river, followed by an oar, a picnic basket and 42 oar. Then came the rowing boat itself, but it was 43 upside down ! A few seconds later my Dad and Auntie June came running 44 the river bank, both wet 45 . Spot started barking so I came out of hiding and said hello. My Dad got really angry 46 me for not trying to catch the boat as it went past. Luckily, 47 , the boat and both the oars had been caught by an overhanging tree a little further downstream, but not the hat or picnic basket. So I had to let them 48 my sandwiches. Dad and Auntie June both made me 49 not to tell Mum what had happened 50 she would be worried. 31.

(1) Sleep is a funny thing. We’re taught that we should get seven or eight hours a night, but a lot of us get by just fine on less, and some of us actually sleep too much. A study out of the University of Buffalo reported that people who routinely sleep more than eight hours a day and are still tired are nearly three times as likely to dir of stroke---probably as a result of an underlying disorder that keeps them from sleeping soundly. Doctors have their own special sleep problems. Residents are famously short of sleep. It is not unusual for them to work 40 hours in a row without rest. They are not in the least worried about it, confident they can still deliver the highest quality of medical care. But an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association points out that in the morning after 24 hours of sleeplessness, a person’s motor performance is comparable to that of someone who is drunk. Curiously, surgeons who believe that operating under the influence of alcohol is grounds for sacking often don’t think twice about operating without enough sleep. “ I could tell you horror stories, ” says Jaya Agrawal, president of the American Medical Student Association, which runs a website for residents. Some are terrifying. “I was operating after being up for over 36 hours, “ one writes. “ I literally fell asleep standing up and nearly planted my face into the wound.” “ Practically every surgical resident I know has fallen asleep at the wheel driving home from work,” writes another. “I know of three who have hit parked cars. Another hit a ‘ Jersey gate’ on the New Jersey Expressway, going 105km/h.” “Your own patients have become the enemy,” writes a third, because they are “the one thing that stands between you and a few hours of sleep.” The U.S. controls the hours of pilots and truck drivers. But until such a system is in place for doctors, patients are on their own. If you’re worried about the people treating you or a loved one, you should feel free to ask how many hours of sleep they have had and if more rested staffers are available. 51 Sleep is a funny thing because ____________. A、the longer one sleeps, the less sound sleep he gets B、the more sleep one gets, the more likely a stroke occurs C、many people stick to about eight hours of sleep to stay fine D、many people who sleep six hours a night still feel energetic in the day
A surgeon who has worked 40 hours in a row without sleep ___________. A、can still provide quality medical care B、will remain alert because he is used to it C、may ignore the potential risk of insufficient sleep D、should be fired if he continues the medical operation
According to one resident, they are short of sleep because ____________. A、they are too tired to fall asleep B、they are forbidden to sleep at work C、they are kept by treating their patients D、they are too worried about oversleeping
They resident who hit a “Jersey gate” on the New Jersey Expressway must have ________. A、fallen asleep B、drunk too much C、been driving too long D、avoided hitting parked cars
Patients are now advised to __________. A、monitor the hours of doctors by themselves B、make sure that the doctors who treat them have had enough sleep C、ask for legal control of the hours of doctors D、allow their doctors to sleep several hours before the operation
（2） Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis (gigantic sea waves), and other observable events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quake themselves. The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indians to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time. This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth’s shell, variations in the earth’s force of attraction, and the frequency with which minor earth shakes are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in expecting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected. It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur. 56. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A、Earthquake destruction is declining B、Earthquake forecast is improving C、Man is no longer fearful of earthquakes. D、Man is capable of conquering earthquakes
We can infer from the passage that quakes __________. A、may happen anywhere at any time B、mostly strike in oceans and mountains C、are unobservable in masses of land D、are hardly the direct cause of fatalities
The phrase “this element of the unknown” (Paragraph 3) refers to ___________. A、the extension of earthquake zones B、the percentage of earthquake occurrences C、when and where earthquakes may occur D、what big damage earthquakes may cause
Man’s research on earthquake forecast at present is to ____________. A、reduce the loss from earthquake disasters B、lower the frequency of earthquakes C、release the energy that causes earthquakes D、analyze the relationship between different earthquakes
Which of the following describes the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A、Inform the reader B、Entertain the reader C、Disprove a concept D、Question a conce
Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella ends, but did you ever really think about how she spent her days before she met the prince? Her daily routine was not fascinating. She did everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals. If someone had asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?” She probably would have answered, “Why, none, of course. Housework is my duty!” In the real world, however, most people have definite dislikes for certain sorts of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing clothes and washing dishes. Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thought-lessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled individually, so ironing a basket of laundry can take hours! After ironing a piece of clothing with great caution, which requires smoothing out the fabric, and following the seams, you need to place it on a hanger as soon as possible. If you do not follow these directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end. Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don’t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes by hand., but we are not necessarily happy doing it. Cleaning dishes is a job that not only take a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I don’t know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do. 61. For Cinderella, doing household work is ______________. A、an assignment B、a compulsion C、an obligation D、a burden
Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because ________________. A、it has to be done by one person B、it must be handled skillfully C、it involves careful planning D、it is time-consuming
To avoid ironing the clothes over again, one should _______________. A、know how to iron certain clothes material B、spare no care through all the procedures C、find some proper hangers for the ironed D、pay special attention to the seams
