32、2.The word “drowsy“ in the last paragraph means_.（分数：2.00）A.sickB.stand upC.asleepD.a little sleepy 解析：词汇题。根据上文，如果你难以入睡，有人建议你做缓慢的深呼吸，有人认为喝热牛奶能够帮助你入睡，因此答案应从 C 和 D 中进行二选一。asleep 睡着了，sleepy 欲睡的，困乏的，最后确定答案为D。3.This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you_.（分数：2.00）A.dream more ofte
33、nB.have poor health C.nervousD.breathe quickly解析：细节题。文章提到“Sleep is necessary for good health”充足的睡眠有利健康。反过来说，睡眠不足就会影响身体健康，因此选 B。4.During REM,_.（分数：2.00）A.your eyes move quicklyB.you dreamC.you are restlessD.both A and B 解析：细节题。第三段讲“Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeb
34、alls begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed).

C.Because TV prices are very high.D.Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages.解析：细节题。第二段

39、elevision, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics“电视能够让我们了解时事和科学及政治的发展。所以电视最大好处之一就是使人获得信息。10.According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on_.（分数：2.00）A.its qualityB.peoples attitude towards it C.how we use itD.whe
40、n we use it解析：细节题。文章最后一句说“It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society “观众的对电视的态度决定了电视的价值。三、BPassage 3/B(总题数：5，分数：10.00)11.The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they_.（分数：2.00）A.have ruined their talentsB.have taken on an unsuitable job C.think of
41、 nothing but their salaryD.are not aware of their own potential解析：逻辑推理题。第一段的主题句很清楚地告诉我们，有些年轻人是很偶然才找到工作的，因此他们在工作中很少或基本不能获得满足感。由此可知，他们不太可能成功的原因是他们没有找到合适的工作。12.The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies in that_.（分数：2.00）A.much competition has to be facedB.many employees have no working experienceC
42、.the young people only care about how much they can earnD.schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance 解析：细节题。第二段提到“The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution”，可见，大学生之所以在找工作时有很多误区，原因主要在于学校未能提供就业方面的培训
43、和指导。13.Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Your job must suit your interest. B.Your job must set a pattern of life.C.Your job must offer you a high salary.D.Your job must not ruin your talent.解析：细节题。第三段的首句说“In choosing a career you should first con

45、in paragraph 2 most probably means_. A splendid B miserable C disgusted D touching（分数：2.00）A.B. C.D.解析：词汇题。根据“Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest，” 我们可以判断 pathetic 应该表示贬义，因此答案就只能从 B 和 C 选择；其次，根据后面的两个动词“discourage“和“ruin”，我们就可以确定答案为 B。pathetic 此处意为“糟糕的，差劲的”。四、BPart Vocabula(总题数：30，分数：30.00)16.Today books are _to everyone because they are no longer expensive.（分数：1.00）A.available B.preferableC.reliableD.actual解析：词义辨析。available 可得到的，在手边的，如：Not enough data is available to
