This is an excellent 2l . but it is often an inefficient (效率低的)way of study. An
11、efficient student must have 22 sleep, food, rest and relaxation. Every day you need take a walk or play basketball or do something you find 23 . And it is necessary 24 you to see a film or visit some scenic spots(风景区)every 25 and then, when you 26 to your studies, your mind will be refreshed and you
12、ll learn the most. Endless hours of nodding over your books are 27 effective than shorter and more active study session (课时). Finally, be realistic (现实的).If you set 28 objects for yourself, you can only be disappointed in your progress. Phsychologists (心理学家)have found 29 learning takes 30 this way:
13、first, you make such great progress that you feel very happy. Then your language ability 31 the same: you believe you are not learning anything 32 all and you feel 33 . This period can last for days 34 even weeks, but you must not 35 . At some point your language ability will again take 36 big . Jum

18、re researchers are at work studying dreamers. Their findings have discovered that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night, although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams. While the subjectsusually studentssleep, special machines record their brain waves and
19、eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of a dream. Surprisingly, all subjects sleep soundly. Observers report that a person usually fidgets(烦躁不安)before a dream. Once the dream has started, his body relaxes and his eyes become more active, as if the curtain had gone up on a s
20、how. As soon as the machine shows that the dream is over, a buzzer wakens the sleeper. He sits up, records his dream, and goes back to sleepperhaps to dream some more. Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream, he can usually recall the entire dream. If he is
21、allowed to sleep even five more minutes, his memory of the dream will have disappeared. 41. According to the passage, researchers at the University of Chicago are studying _. A. contents of dreams B. dreamers while they dream C. the meaning of dreams D. the progress of sleeping 42. Their finding has
22、 discovered that _. A. everyone dreams every night B. dreams are easily remembered C. dreams are likely to be frightening D. one person dreams only one dream a night 43.

23、y dreams a person has D. what a sleeper dreams during his sleep 44. A person would be most likely to remember the dream that _. A. was of most interest to him B. occurred immediately after he went to sleep C. occurred just before he woke up D. was the longest one to him B Without proper planning, to
24、urism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants(居民)of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become angry and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much
25、tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination(目的地)country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance health and happiness of local inhabitants. Too much
26、 tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a g
27、reat deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads, and other support facilities(设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourist hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build.If this room is not used most of the time, the owners
28、 of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities aswell, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers(阴沟)to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists
29、, jobs and money are lost. 45. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage? A. It is not important to develop tourism. B. Building roads and hotels is important. C. Support facilities are highly necessary. D. Planning is of great importance t

31、in tourist attractions C. the higher cost of support facilities D. a rise in price and a fall in pay 48. The word “handle” in the last paragraph most probably means _. A. carry away B. pick up C. get in D. take down C It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the w
32、orld of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thingcan exist by itself. It is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the nature order, this will almost certa inly bring about changes in some other part. The cutting of forests
33、reduced the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals led to the wide-spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into theocean hurt life in the sea, while waste gases changed the chemical balance ofthe atmosphere and shut out some of the suns necessar
34、y life-giving rays. And so we could go on adding more examples until in despair(绝望)we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but he is not so clever at looking far ahead, or
35、 at thinking about what the future results of his action might be. Man may well destroy himself because of his silly action. 49. The first paragraph tells us that _. A. all living things in nature depend on each other B. everything in nature cant exist without the help of man C. man has known the im
36、portance of the balance of nature for a long time D. no living thing can live naturally 50. In the second paragraph the examples given are used to prove that _. A. all forms of life belong to a system in which all the parts can be changed for one another B. it is only during the last few years that
37、man has generally known the balance of nature C. there are some living things which can exist by themselves without change D. we cant change one form of life without destroying the balance of nature 51. The last paragraph suggests that in order to get his immediate benefits(利益) _. A. man is always a
38、nxious to control his activities within limits B. man is always too eager in planning for distant future C. man often fails to think about their future results of his action D. man often feels that he will have to give up in despair 52. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Cut
39、ting down woods does little harm to human beings. B. Man has to pay much more attention to the future results of his present action. C. Oxygen comes from forests. D. The passage tells us to try our best to get as much as possible immediately. D Scientists used to explore on the surface of the ocean.
40、 Now they are exploringbelow the surface, too. They want to know about ocean water and the plant andanimal life deep in the ocean. In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10, 330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a
41、 depth of 35,800 feet. All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. Gradually they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to k
42、eep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week. Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment, men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set upa research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 196
43、4 he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea. This was the first undersea stationto operate without help from the surface. Many countries are now studying undersea living things. The former Soviet Union had an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laborator
44、y 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five menlived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in thelaboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the oceandepths and to make plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope t
45、o find enough mineral, vegetable, and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world. 53. In order to _, scientists are exploring below the surface of the ocean. A. know about the ocean water deep in the ocean B. know about the plant and animal life deep in the ocean C. stay down longer to study life of the plant and animal below the surface D. both A and B 54. Who set up the first undersea station? A. A French
