18、h may also suffer the consequences.2 Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble failing and staying asleep ,as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night. Peop

21、al dangers of chronic shortages of sleep - for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.5 For the current report, Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep

28、yWhen we think of Hollywood a term I use loosely to describe American movie production in general, not simply films made in Los Angeles we think of films aimed at amusing audiences and making money for producers.During the early years of the new century, as workers won their demands for higher wages
29、 and a shorter working week, leisure assumed an increasingly important role in everyday life. Amusement parks, professional baseball games, nickelodeons (五分钱戏院), and dance halls attracted wide array of men and women anxious to spend their hard earned dollars in the pursuit of fun and relaxation. Yet
30、 of all these new cultural endeavors, films were the most important and widely attended source of amusement. For a mere five or ten cents, even the poorest worker could afford to take himself and his family to the local nickelodeon or storefront theatre. “Every little town that has never been able t
31、o afford and maintain an opera house, “observed one journalist in 1908. “now boasts one or two Bijou Dreams. “By 1910 the appeal of films was so great that nearly one -third of the nation flocked to the cinema each week; ten years later, weekly attendance equaled 50 per cent of the nations populatio
32、n.Early films were primarily aimed at entertaining audiences, but entertainment did not always come in the form of escapist fantasies. Many of the issues that dominated Progressive - era politics were also portrayed on the screen. “Between 1900 and 1917 ,“observes Kevin Brownlow, “literally thousand
33、s of films dealt with the most pressing problems of the daywhite slavery, political corruption, gangsterism (犯罪) , loansharking (高利贷), slum landlords, racial prejudice, etc. “While most of these films were produced by studios and independent companies, a significant number were made by what we might
34、 call today“ special interest groups“. As films quickly emerged as the nations most popular form of mass entertainment, they attracted the attention of a wide range of organizations that recognized the mediums enormous potential for disseminating propaganda to millions of viewers.（分数：15.00）(1).In th

39、.六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Search on the ComputerWhat difference does it make if we read texts displayed on a computer screen instead of on paper printed with ink? The computer certainly does not guarantee deeper comprehension, greater subtlety of mind, or a wider range of imaginative reference. The medi
40、ation of a computer, however, put new powers at the disposal of intelligence. For one thing, the computer is itself can do simple readingas I have noted, it can“ read“ an immense body of literature in search of designated words. As anyone knows who has ever spent days in libraries in search of erran
41、t(错误的) information, simply identifying relevant sources absorbs inordinate(无节制的，过度的)amounts of time in research. The objections might be raised that a search of texts by computer may block the serendipitous(偶然得到的 ) discoveries that occur while browsing in the stacks of great libraries. No member of
42、the academy need fear that the use of computer will keep him from the stacks, but browsing is, if anything, easier if texts can be called up on a screen in the senerity of ones chosen surroundings,The great deficiency of libraries, as we know them, is that while titles are catalogued, the libraries
43、have no master indexes of the contents of books. Individual volumes, it is true, have indexes, often of inferior quality, but even the best indexes must be examined one at a time. The great advantage of the electronic library is that a computer could search and analyze its contents without proceedin
44、g volume by volume. As work in artificial intelligence develops, computer systems may also become adept at more complex tasks, such as summarizing texts, which has been accomplished experimentally.（分数：15.00）(1).What is the passage mainly about?（分数：3.00）A.The advantages of the computer in search of i

46、s writers.(3).The advantage of reading by the computer over reading on paper lies in that it（分数：3.00）A.guarantees deeper comprehension.B.ensures greater subtlety of mind.C.offers a wider range of imaginative reference.D.saves time to find information neede(4).Computer systems will work better in the
47、 future（分数：3.00）A.with the development of indexing art.B.with the development of artificial intelligence.C.by taking up more tasks and experiments.D.by establishing more computer libraries.(5).The writers attitude towards use of computer in reading can be described as（分数：3.00）A.favorable.B.disapprov

But following the age -old advice about catching up on sleep might be more important.Studies have demonstr
49、ated that poor sleep and susceptibility (易受影响) to colds go hand in hand, and scientists think it could be a reflection of the role sleep plays in maintaining the bodys defenses.In a recent study for the Archives of Internal Medicine, scientists followed 153 men and women for two weeks, keeping track of their quality and duration o
