21、 C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET._By far the most common difficultly in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do

22、not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment. Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did construct a timetable fo

23、r themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be. There are many who shy away from the self-regimentation of a weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a definite program of work.

24、 Many able students claim that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it intensively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be confessed that we do not fully understand the complexities of the motivation to work. Most p

25、eople over 25 years of age have been used to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important aspects of their work. The “tough-minded“ school of workers is usually very contemptuous of the idea that good work can only be done spontaneously

26、 under the influence of inspiration. Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom“. Freedom from discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression“ or “personality development“.

27、 Our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality, and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society we have to comply with its demands.（分数：8.00）(1).The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is that of_.（分数：2.00）A.the failure to keep to a routine o

28、f methodical and intensive workB.changing from one subject to anotherC.unwillingness to follow a systematic planD.applying oneself to a subject only when one feels inclined(2).According to the selection, there are many students who_.（分数：2.00）A.do not like being commanded to study according to a week

29、ly timetableB.are too timid to accustom themselves to a weekly timetableC.refuse to exert themselves the whole week as if under military disciplineD.shrink from the self-discipline required for working to a weekly plan(3).Those workers with strict views on work_.（分数：2.00）A.are very critical of the b

30、elief that good work can be a natural product of instinctB.reject the idea that good work is second nature to manC.do not regard as serious the opinion that good work can be done at any time regardless of inspirationD.despise the idea that work can only be done when free from external influence and

31、prompted by internal stimulus(4).A suitable title for the passage might be_.（分数：2.00）A.Attitudes to StudyB.Study PlansC.The Difficulties of StudyingD.Study and Self-disciplineIn ancient Greece athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations. The Olympian athletic festiva

32、l held every four years in honor of Zeus, king of the Olympian Gods, eventually lost its local character, became first a national event and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished, international. No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official r

33、ecords date from 776 B. C. The games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece, but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves, women and dishonored persons were not allowed to compete. The exact sequence of even

34、ts uncertain, but events included boys gymnastics, boxing, wrestling, horse racing and field events, though there were fewer sports involved than in the modern Olympic Games. On the last day of the Games, all the winners were honored by having a ring of holy olive leaves placed on their heads. So gr

35、eat was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory. Although Olympic winners received no prize money, they were, in fact, richly rewarded by their state authorities. How their results compared with modern standards, we unfortunately have no means of telling.

36、After an uninterrupted history of almost 1, 200 years, the Games were suspended by the Romans in 394 A. D. They continued for such a long time because people believed in the philosophy behind the Olympics: the idea that a healthy body produced a healthy mind, and that the spirit of competition in sp

37、orts and games was preferable to the competition that caused wars. It was over 1, 500 years before another such international athletic gathering took place in Athens in 1896. Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country provides vast facilities, including a stadium,

38、swimming pools and living accommodation, but competing courtiers pay their own athletes expenses. The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the suns rays. It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolized the continuation o

39、f the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it burns throughout the Games until the closing ceremony. The well-known Olympic flag, however, is a modern conception: the five interlocking rings symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the Games.（分数：12.00）(1).In ancient Greece, the Ol

40、ympic Games_.（分数：2.00）A.were merely national athletic festivalsB.were in the nature of a national event with a strong religious colourC.had rules which put foreign participants in a disadvantageous positionD.were primarily national events with few foreign participants(2).In the early days of ancient

41、 Olympic Games_.（分数：2.00）A.only male Greek athletes were allowed to participate in the gamesB.all Greeks, irrespective of sex, religion or social status, were allowed to take partC.all Greeks, with the exception of women, were allowed to compete in GamesD.all male Greeks were qualified to compete in

42、 the Games(3).The order of athletic events at the ancient Olympics_.（分数：2.00）A.has not definitely been establishedB.varied according to the number of foreign competitorsC.was decided by Zeus, in whose honor the Games were heldD.was considered unimportant(4).Modern athletes results cannot be compared

43、 with those of ancient runners because_.（分数：2.00）A.the Greeks had no means of recording the resultsB.they are much betterC.details such as the time were not recorded in the pastD.they are much worse(5).The Olympic Games were suspended, because_.（分数：2.00）A.people didnt want to hold the GamesB.they we

44、re not in honor of Zeus, king of the Olympian GodsC.the Games wouldnt appeal to nations and the publicD.the competition among countries may caused wars in The Olympic Games(6).Nowadays, the athletes expenses are paid for_.（分数：2.00）A.out of the prize money of the winnersB.out of the funds raised by t

45、he competing nationsC.by the athletes themselvesD.by contributionsComplete silence is found only in laboratories called anechoic rooms. The walls and ceilings, made of blocks of special sound-sucking materials, are more than three feet thick, while floor coverings are six-foot layers of feathers or

46、cotton wool. Silence here can be as painful to the ears as the din(continuous loud noise)of a steelworks or a rocket blast-off, yet scientists get used to this and stay in these silent rooms for hours at a time, using microphones and electronic equipment to test the various materials being developed

47、 to make the world a less noisy place. Architects have used scientific discoveries to solve noise problems in a number of ways. Walls are hollowed(having empty space inside)and then filled with sound-sucking materials similar to cotton wool. Extra-thick carpets cover the floors, and thick woolen curtains cover the windows. Air conditioning and heating channels are made less noisy by sound-sucking materials. Unfortunately, these techniques and others often work too well in some buildings. Noise-proof rooms become almost anechoic and people living in them are disturbed by t
