17、ht as well（D）would rather not40 Suppose we built a robot(机器人)to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at
18、 a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary(进化的)theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does no
19、t deny(否认)that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not
20、 protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep
21、so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their wak
22、ing hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.41 Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?_.（A）Evolution has equipped all crea
23、tures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking.（B） The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory.（C） Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots.（D）The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats.42 The author us
24、es the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us_.（A）the differences between robots and men（B） the reason why men need to sleep（C） about the need for robots to save power（D）about the danger of men working at night43 Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats_.（A）need more tim
25、e for restoration（B） are unlikely to be attackers（C） are more active than horses when they are awake（D）spend less time eating to get enough energy44 According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we_.（A）are worrying about our safety（B） are overworked（C） are in a tent（D）are away from home45 Evolu
26、tion has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him_.（A）maintain a regular pattern of life（B） prevent trouble that comes looking for him（C） avoid danger and inefficient labor（D）restore his bodily functions45 Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made
27、a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a persons gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an
28、elevator, what gazetime are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up(打量)and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction. You need
29、 to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman(1963)calls “a dimming of the lights.“ You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passengers eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a
30、 stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman co
31、mmunicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you“, “I am interested in you, “ or “You look
32、 peculiar and I am curious about you. “ This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.46 The passage mainly discusses_.（A）the limitations of eye contact（B） the exchange of ideas through eye contact（C） proper behavior in situations（D）the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication47 It ca
33、n be inferred form the first paragraph that_.（A）every glance has its significance（B） staring at a person is an expression of interest（C） a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable（D）a glance conveys more meaning than words48 By “a dimming of the lights“ Erving Goffman means “_“.（A）closing ones eye
34、s（B） turning off the lights（C） creasing to glance at others（D）reducing gaze-time to the minimum49 If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel_.（A）depressed（B） uneasy（C） curious（D）amused50 If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is_.（A）to look into anoth
35、er passengers eyes（B） to avoid eye contact with other passengers（C） to signal you are not a threat to anyone（D）to keep a distance from other passengers50 Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people, 23 of them women, to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for a fortnight. When he came t
36、o analyse their embarrassing lapses(差错)in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings. Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random(随机的).One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tri
37、ed to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer, “ explains the professor. “People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the womans custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But someho
38、w the action got reversed in the programme. “ About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “programme assembly failures. “Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doingan average of twelve each. There appear to be peak periods i
39、n the day when we are at our zaniest(荒谬可笑的). These are two hours some time between eight a. m. and noon, between four and six p. m. with a smaller peak between eight and ten p. m. “Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain programmes occurs, as for instance between going to and from
40、work. “ Women on average reported slightly more lapses12. 5 compared with 10. 9 for men-probably because they were more reliable reporters.A startling finding of the research is that the absent-minded activity is a hazard of doing things in which we are skilled. Normally, you would expect that skill
41、 reduces the number of errors we make. But trying to avoid silly slips by concentrating more could make things a lot worse-even dangerous.51 “Programme assembly failures“ refers to the phenomenon that people_.（A）often fail to programme their routines beforehand（B） tend to make mistakes when they are
42、 in a hurry（C） unconsciously change the sequence of doing things（D）are likely to mess things up if they are too tired52 We learn from the third paragraph that_.（A）absent-mindedness tends to occur during certain hours of the day（B） women are very careful to perform actions during peak periods（C） wome
43、n experience more peak periods of absent-mindedness（D）mens absent-mindedness often results in funny situations53 In his study Professor Smith asked the subjects_.（A）to keep track of people who tend to forget things（B） to report their embarrassing lapses at random（C） to analyse their awkward experien
44、ces scientifically（D）to keep a record of what they did unintentionally54 It can be concluded from the passage that_.（A）people should avoid doing important things during peak periods of lapses（B） hazards can be avoided when people do things they are good at（C） people should be careful when programmin
45、g their actions（D）lapses cannot always be attributed to lack of concentration55 Professor Smith discovered that_.（A）certain patterns can be identified in the recorded incidents（B） many people were too embarrassed to admit their absent-mindedness（C） men tend to be more absent-minded than women（D）abse
46、nt-mindedness is an excusable human weakness55 Most episodes of absent-mindedness-forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a roomare caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter. “Youre supposed to remember something, but you havent encoded it deeply. “Encoding, S
47、chacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and dont pay attention to what you did because youre involved in a conve
48、rsation, youll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in you wardrobe(衣柜). “Your memory itself isnt failing you, “ says Schacter. “Rather, you didnt give your memory system the information it needed. “Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago, “ says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox. “ Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness,
