This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to
19、 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 for themselve
20、s 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. Many able
21、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 people over
22、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, under the
23、 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“. Our societ
24、y 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. 21 The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is that of_. （ A） the failure to keep to a routine of methodical and intensiv
25、e work （ B） changing from one subject to another （ C） unwillingness to follow a systematic plan （ D） applying oneself to a subject only when one feels inclined 22 According to the selection, there are many students who_. （ A） do not like being commanded to study according to a weekly timetable （ B）
26、are too timid to accustom themselves to a weekly timetable （ C） refuse to exert themselves the whole week as if under military discipline （ D） shrink from the self-discipline required for working to a weekly plan 23 Those workers with strict views on work_. （ A） are very critical of the belief that
27、good work can be a natural product of instinct （ B） reject the idea that good work is second nature to man （ C） do not regard as serious the opinion that good work can be done at any time regardless of inspiration （ D） despise the idea that work can only be done when free from external influence and
28、 prompted by internal stimulus 24 A suitable title for the passage might be_. （ A） Attitudes to Study （ B） Study Plans （ C） The Difficulties of Studying （ D） Study and Self-discipline 24 In ancient Greece athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations. The Olympian athl
29、etic festival 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 som
30、e official records 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 seque
31、nce of events 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 h
32、eads. So great 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 o
33、f telling. 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 competit
34、ion in sports 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 s
35、tadium, 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 contin
36、uation of 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. 25 In ancient Greece, the Olym
37、pic Games_. （ A） were merely national athletic festivals （ B） were in the nature of a national event with a strong religious colour （ C） had rules which put foreign participants in a disadvantageous position （ D） were primarily national events with few foreign participants 26 In the early days of an

41、ld the Games （ B） they were not in honor of Zeus, king of the Olympian Gods （ C） the Games wouldnt appeal to nations and the public （ D） the competition among countries may caused wars in The Olympic Games 30 Nowadays, the athletes expenses are paid for_. （ A） out of the prize money of the winners （
42、 B） out of the funds raised by the competing nations （ C） by the athletes themselves （ D） by contributions 30 Complete 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 c
43、overings are six-foot layers of feathers or 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 t
44、o test the various materials being developed 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 ca
45、rpets 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 t
46、hem are disturbed by the lack of sound. One way of handling this problem is to use what they call “sound perfume“artificial(similarly produced, made by man)noise is piped to rooms through small loudspeakers. 31 Scientists use anechoic room for_. （ A） measuring noise levels of steelworks （ B） measuri
