The amount of sl
14、eep 1 depends on the age of the person and the conditions in which sleep 2 . The young may need more sleep than the old, but 3 eight hours are enough for the health of grown-ups. Some can do with less than this amount but 4 may need more. Every person knows his own need. It is then a matter of how t
15、o 5 it. Sleep should always be enough to make one relaxed and ready for 6 work. Fresh air is 7 to sound sleep. It is not 8 reason for some people to insist that it is practical to sleep in the open air. 9 a person can keep himself warm, out-of-door sleeping probably gives the body 10 complete relaxa
16、tion. Ability to sleep is largely a habit. The conditions referred to only lead to sleep.

20、irect answer to this simple question. But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state. We can find out how
21、 old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it. We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone. We may make marking to show how fast
22、 the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record, but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span. Unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity (成熟). They continue to grow as long as they li
23、ve, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.（分数：10.00）(1).People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its _.（分数：2.00）A.sizeB.life spanC.ageD.variety(2).The specialist is embarrassed by the question because _.（分数：2.00）A.he does not know the answerB.there is no answer to the qu

25、for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural state.C.Mature fishes grow more quickly than young ones.D.The specialist makes marking to know the rate of growth of fishes so that they know the age of the largest ones.(5).Human beings, unlike fishes, _.（分数：2.00）A.stop growi
26、ng when they reach maturityB.grow faster after maturingC.continue to grow as long as they liveD.have a short life span六、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When young people get their first real jobs, they face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things w
27、ere at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can“t be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world. Perhaps the best way to le
28、arn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. By doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what his app
29、roach to day-to-day situations is. While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good w
30、orking habits.（分数：10.00）(1).The young people who just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world because _.（分数：2.00）A.they were not well educated at schoolB.what they learn in university classes is not adequate for their new lifeC.the society is too complicated to adapt toD.they

32、w he acts in different situationsC.to find a person you admire and make friends with himD.to make the acquaintance of a model you admire(4).The purpose of this writing is _.（分数：2.00）A.to offer career guide to young peopleB.to tell young people the importance of the first jobC.to instruct young peopl

34、 to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back
35、in the eleventh century B. C We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sun-shade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal peopl
36、e or by those in high office. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade, and the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle A
37、ge, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn“t until the twentieth
38、century that women“s umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.（分数：10.00）(1).The first use of the umbrella was as _.（分数：2.00）A.protection against the rainB.a shade against the sunC.a symbol of powerD.a symbol of honor(2).The _ are regarded as the people who first used umbrellas.（分数：2.00）A.Ro

42、do is to sign your name and take what you want out of the store without paying cash. But there is a problem with the cardsthey can be financial poison. These cards are just like the poison we use on insects. If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us
43、 financially just as real poison can kill our body. For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company charges a percentage of that amount in interest. The interest is added every month, so a bill that is not paid gets bigger and bigger. Over 10 percent of the families in t
44、he United States are “overextended“. That is, they have more debts on their credit cards than they can pay. Credit cards can be used for almost anything that money can buy.
