It may be a game of some kind football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering. These who have
15、 a passion 【26】 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 【27】 with astonishment. Why are men and women 【28】 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 【29】 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity 【30】 which men gi
16、ve their leisure. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made roles, as there are for 【31】 games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 【32】 ,but it is this freedom from man-made rules 【33】 makes mountaineering attracti

Those who climb mountains are free to use their own 【34】 If we 【35】 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 【36】 mountaineering is not a“ team work“. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches“ 【37】 “teams“ o

A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight 【39】 of nature. His sport requires high mental and 【40

23、y and objectivity. Every semester we have the opportunity to evaluate our instructors. We are supposed to judge their lectures, interest in students problems, methods of assigning work, and general ability to conduct a class. Then, when the instructor has left the room, we must write our evaluations
24、 on the forms provided. We are not sup-posed to exchange view or discuss our responses. After everyone has completed the forms, one student collects and tallies the responses and then puts them in an envelope and makes them sealed. It is very difficult to evaluate another persons performance objecti
25、vely. For example, Senta recently wrote irresponsible remarks about her instructor because she was falling to pass the course. Her friend Sam wrote a marvelous description of the same instructor because he received an A in the course. Both Senta and Sam were not fairly evaluating the instructor. The
26、y were affected by the grades they were earning and were biased in their judgments. Another irresponsible form of evaluation occurred when James rated his instructor excellent be- cause the instructor is “easy“. He gives few tests and only assigns one paper during the entire term. His lectures are o
27、ften full of jokes and endless stories. On the other hand, James rated Pro fessor Jones poor because he assigns text work dally, gives pretest and post test reviews, and packs his lectures with a lot of information. （分数：1.00）(1).Student should evaluate their instructors _.（分数：0.20）A.by discussing op

30、ningD.the long assignments given(5).James is influenced by _.（分数：0.20）A.the quality of the lecturesB.his own performanceC.the instructors personalityD.both A and CSleep is a funny thing. Were taught that we should get seven or eight hours a night, but a lot of us get by just fine on less, and some o
31、f us actually sleep too much. A study out of the University of Buffalo reported that people who routinely sleep more than eight hours a day and are still tired are nearly three times as likely to die of stroke probably as a result of an underlying disorder that keeps them from sleeping soundly. Doct
32、ors have their own special sleep problems. Residents are famously short of sleep. It is not unusual for them to work 40 hours in a row without rest. They are not in the least worried about it, confident they can still deliver the highest quality of medical care. But an article in the Journal of the
33、American Medical Association points out that in the morning after 24 hours of sleeplessness, a persons motor performance is comparable to that of someone who is drunk. Curiously, surgeons who believe that operating under the influence of alcohol is grounds for sacking often dont think twice about op
34、erating without enough sleep. “ I could tell you horror stories,“ says Jaya Agrawal, president of the American Medical Student Association, which runs a website for residents. Some are terrifying. “ I was operating after being up for over 36 hours,“ one writes. “I literally fell asleep standing up a
35、nd nearly planted my face into the wound. “ “Practically every surgical resident I know has fallen asleep at the wheel driving home from work,“ writes another. “I know of three who have hit parked cars. Another hit a Jersey gate on the New Jersey Expressway, going 105km/h. “ “Your own patients have
36、become the enemy,“ writes a third, because they are “the one thing that stands between you and a few hours of sleep. “ The U. S. controls the hours of pilots and truck drivers. But until such a system is in place for doctors, patients are on their own. If youre worried about the people treating you
37、or a loved one, you should feel free to ask how many hours of sleep they have had and if more rested staffers are available. （分数：1.00）(1).Sleep is a funny thing because_.（分数：0.20）A.the longer one sleeps, the less sound sleep he getsB.the more sleep one gets, the more likely a stroke occursC.many peo
38、ple stick to about eight hours of sleep to stay fineD.many people who sleep six hours a night still feel energetic in the day(2).A surgeon who has worked 40 hours in a row without sleep_.（分数：0.20）A.can still provide quality medical careB.will remain alert because he is used to itC.may ignore the pot
39、ential risk of insufficient sleepD.should be fired if he continues the medical operation(3).According to one resident, they are short of sleep because_.（分数：0.20）A.they are too tired to fall asleepB.they are forbidden to sleep at workC.they are kept by treating their patientsD.they are too worried ab
40、out oversleeping(4).The resident who hit a “Jersey gate“ on the New Jersey Expressway must have_.（分数：0.20）A.fallen asleepB.drunk too muchC.been driving too longD.avoided hitting parked cars(5).Patients are now advised to _（分数：0.20）A.monitor the hours of doctors by themselvesB.make sure that the doct
41、ors who treat them have had enough sleepC.ask for legal control of the hours of doctorsD.allow their doctors to sleep several hours before the operationThe tanker lay in the bay for four days, a few hundred meters from the shore. In this tideless water she lay as still and secure as if fastened to a
42、 wall. In a way, she was, for the sandy bottom held her in its grip. Twice the harbor masters boat went out to her; the second time it brought off a number of the crew. It never occurred to the watchers on shore that the ship was in danger, she looked so calm and seaworthy. From time to time there w
43、as activity on board: when a land wind rose in the evenings, the tankers engines came to life. Then the vessel shook herself and strained fiercely, but none of it did her any good. She just stayed where she was in the bay. The July sun blazed down on her flat decks. Occasionally a seaman, stripped t
44、o the waist, came out on to the deck with the movements of someone performing a complicated dance, stepping lightly, never resting on that burning metal. Once or twice he kept close to the ships rail, with an arm raised against the sunlight, staring at the people on the beach. Throughout the day the
45、 air rose in visible waves from the tankers decks. When a sea wind blew, it brought with it the heavy smell of oil. At night the ship lay in total darkness. On the fifth morning a thick bank of sea mist filled the bay. It seemed that the tanker had got away in the night and gone into harbor. But thi
46、s was an illusion. Slowly, as the fog cleared a little, she came into view again but farther out. Soon two figures could be seen at work on her decks. There was the sound of hammering, of metal on metal, and then of something heavy falling on to the deck. At once the watchers on shore were half blin
47、ded by a flash of yellow light that enveloped the ship from end to end. The explosion that followed the flash was like a single crack from a giant whip. In a moment the ship, except for a dark line at water level, was lost to sight behind the flames. Two bodies were washed ashore in the bay. they we
48、re stripped to the waist, bare-footed, and black with flash burns. The right arm of one body was raised to the forehead as if shielding the eyes from some bright light. The other man wore a gold chain round his neck. The tanker burned for nine days and nights. （分数：1.00）(1).The tanker could not sail
49、into the harbor because_.（分数：0.20）A.the tide was not suitableB.she had run aground on sandC.her engines had broken downD.most of her crew had gone ashore(2).The people who were watching from the beach_.（分数：0.20）A.offered to help without knowing what to doB.did not want to put themselves in any dangerC.realized the trouble but could do nothing about itD.did not know there was something wrong with the ship(3).The seaman moved like dancing on the dec
