23、Russian America before it was sold to the United States of America, joined the union as the forty-ninth state in 1959. Alaska is now the largest of all the 50 states of the United States. It was in 1867 that President A. Johnsons Secretary of State (国务卿), Seward bought Alaska from the Russians at a
24、cost of 7. 2 million. The buying of the huge northern land mass seemed at first something foolishly done. Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in, and it appeared to have no importance in time of war. Besides, there are volcanoes there as Alaska lies on the Pacific “r
25、ing of fire“ (火山带). In Alaska large treeless areas are covered with snow all the year. For these reasons the buying of Alaska was called “Sewards Fooly“ at that time. However, in 1896 gold was found in Alaska, and people poured into the land quickly. Since then other important natural resources were
26、 discovered, including oil. Soon people changed their thinking about “Sewards Fooly“. But most people visit Alaska in order to see the endless beauty of nature that the northern land discloses to them. For instance, there are about 11,000 islands in Alaska. And in a certain area of Alaska the sun do
27、es not set for 82 days every year.(分数:8.00)(1).Alaska belonged to _ before 1867.(分数:2.00)A.RussiaB.AmericaC.CanadaD.Japan(2).The buying of Alaska was first called _.(分数:2.00)A.a foolish thingB.Sewards FoolyC.Johnsons FoolyD.Presidents Foolishness(3).Volcanoes _ in Alaska as_.(分数:2.00)A.are not found

29、therD.enjoy its beauty of natureDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is 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 labour through your work you may say that your
30、e “hot“. Thats true. 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
31、 (自言自语) as: “Get up, 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 h
32、as. You cant change 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
33、 energy is low in the 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(鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit
34、 on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.(分数:8.00)(1).
35、Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?(分数:2.00)A.Unawareness of energy cycles.B.Familiar monologues.C.A change in a family members energy cycle.D.Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family member.(2).If one wants to work more efficiently at his low poi
36、nt in the morning, he should_.(分数:2.00)A.change his energy cycleB.overcome his lazinessC.get up earlier than usualD.go to bed earlier(3).You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _.(分数:2.00)A.help to keep your energy for the days workB.help you to control your temper early in t
37、he dayC.enable you to concentrate on your routine workD.keep your energy cycle under control all day(4).Which of the following statements is NOT true?(分数:2.00)A.Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save ones energy.B.Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of
38、day.C.Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D.Children have energy cycles, too.Many people want to know how to analyze problems they meet. There are six stages in analyzing a problem. First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and he ca
39、nnot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle. Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or
40、 the frame. He must make his problem more specific. Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can lo
41、ok in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be; put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and
42、replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels. Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a pie
43、ce of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels. Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.(分数:8.00)(1).In analyzi
44、ng a problem we should do all the following except_.(分数:2.00)A.recognize and define the problemB.look for information to make the problem clearerC.have suggestions for a possible solutionD.find a solution by trial or mistake(2).By referring to Sams broken bicycle, the author intends to_.(分数:2.00)A.i
45、llustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB.discuss the problems of this bicycleC.tell us how to solve a problemD.show us how simple it is to repair a bicycle(3).As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short“ means _.(分数:2.00)A.in the long runB.in detailC.in factD.in a word(4).What is the best ti
46、tle for this passage?(分数:2.00)A.Six Stages for Repairing Sams BicycleB.Possible Steps of Problem-solvingC.Necessities of Problem AnalysisD.Importance of Analyzing a Problem四、Cloze(总题数:2,分数:60.00)23.Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.
