2、he Answer Sheet.0 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that its painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre “hot“. Thats tru
3、e. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get u
4、p, John! Youll be late for work again!“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change
5、 your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in th
6、e morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (呵欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of the be
7、d a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.

12、 back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and
13、the not so bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to beat the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual(智力的) ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all ou
14、r pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity
15、 to learn to cooperate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with (对付) personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Somet
16、imes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this
17、efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.6 In the passage the authors attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching“ is_.（A）critical（B） qu
18、estioning（C） approving（D）objective7 By “held back“ (Line 1) the author means_.（A）made to remain in the same classes（B） forced to study in the lower classes（C） drawn to their studies（D）prevented from advancing8 The author argues that a teachers chief concern should be the development of the student s

22、ddenly a stranger approaches with a smile on his face.

(a) Run away; (b) Call the police; (c) Listen closely
23、for the device to say, in German; “Konnen Sie mir bitte sagen, wo ich Sauerkraut kaufen kann?“The most appropriate response would be (c), because the person in front of you is only a tourist trying to enjoy himself. The device is said to be the worlds first portable translatora hand-held microcomput
24、er that at the same time converts one spoken language into another. The four-pound, battery-operated product is called the Voice, and it is the creation of Advanced Products and Technologies, an American electronic company. When the Voice is introduced in the United States in late Aprilat a price of
25、 $ 1,500it will be capable of converting spoken English into Italian, German, French and Spanish. The product comes with separate cartridges (盒式存储器) for each of the four languages, which can be changed when the user travels from one country to another. The item will be sold in Europe soon after the
26、U. S. introduction, with cartridges that convert Italian, German, French and Spanish into English.The Voice uses a microchip(微型集成块) and artificial intelligence to translate languages. It is started by voice command and produces voice output through a built-in speaker. When the user makes a statement

31、e like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating
32、behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience training doesnt solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation
33、for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “com
34、e here, sit,“ it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleas
35、antly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.16 Behavior
36、 problems of dogs are believed to_.（A）worsen in modern society（B） occur when they go wild（C） be just part of their nature（D）present a threat to the community17 The primary purpose of obedience training is to_.（A）teach the dog to perform clever tricks（B） enable the dog to regain its normal behavior（C

39、its owner_.（A）will enjoy a better family life（B） can give the dog more freedom（C） can give the dog more rewards（D）will have more confidence in himself20 In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the a
40、nswer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, variety is not an impor
41、tant factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thu
42、s while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now ex
43、perimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.To
44、what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working h
45、ours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.21 Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is not true?（A）To make jobs more varied.（B） To give the worker freedom to do
46、 his job in his own way.（C） Degree of work contribution.（D）Demands for longer working hours.22 Why workers want more money?（A）Because their jobs are too boring.（B） In order to enjoy more spare time.（C） To make their jobs more interesting.（D）To demand shorter working hours.23 The last sentence in thi
47、s passage means that if we succeed in making workers jobs more interesting_.（A）they will want more money（B） they will demand shorter working hours（C） more money and shorter working hours are important factors（D）more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them24 In this passage,
48、the author tells us_.（A）how to make the workers more productive（B） impossible factors leading to greater efficiency（C） to what extent more money leads to greater productivity（D）how to make workers jobs more interesting25 The author of this passage is probably a_.（A）teacher（B） worker（C） manager（D）phy
