I stayed the
22、re for four years altogether. After three years I was promoted to ac- counts manager, and I stayed in that job for a year, but then I really got bored, so I decided to leave and I applied for other jobs in this area.I had no luck getting a second job at all, and 1 was very short of money, so in the
23、end I had to get a job working as a waitress in a restaurant. Well, it wasnt very successful because Im quite clumsy. I kept dropping things, so after six months, they gave me a sack (解雇). And then, just by chance I met an old friend who I was at university with. And he was working in television. He

27、generally connect with living things. Of course, it is true that a tot of animals sleep, but scientists are not certain that primitive (原始的) forms of animal life like worms ever really sleep. On the other hand, animals such as bears sleep for 4 or 5 months every year.The amount of sleep that a human
28、 being needs depends on age, tile individual and possibly race. For example, doctors think pre-school children need between 10 and 12 hours a night; school children between 9 and 11 hours; and adults between 7 and 9 hours. There are cases of old people who only sleep between 2 and 3 hours a day and
29、continue to be active and healthy. The sleep requirements Of different races also appear to be different. Japanese people, for example, sleep fewer hours than Europeans.It is not known whether mental activity (except dreaming) occurs when a person is asleep. However, it is certainly true that some p
30、eople can wake up at a particular time. There are also stories about scientists who solve difficult problems during sleep, because their subconscious (潜意识的) minds continue working on the problem.Some types of nightmares are quite common: the dreamer is falling from a tree; or an animal is running af
31、ter him. Some people say these two occur because mans ancestors (祖先) lived in trees and were in constant danger from wild animals.（分数：4.00）(1).Which of the following is NOT TRUE?（分数：1.00）A.We dont know if the worms really sleep or not.B.Old people only sleep 2 or 3 hours a day.C.People of different

34、ing when we are asleep(4).Some common nightmares are said to be connected with mans _.（分数：1.00）A.experienceB.historyC.ancestorsD.subconscious mindsCEveryone ought to know that the world is in danger. It is hoped that every government should act quickly in order to conserve (保护) nature. Here is one e
35、xample of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 866. The others have been destroyed by modem man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and the water, and everything that grows and lives We cannot live without these thi
36、ngs either.What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now?“ The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. In some countries young people s
37、pend their spare time as “conservation volunteers“. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of eleven kilometers of their rivers. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called “N
38、o Ones Going to Change Our World“. It was made by Cliff Richard and his singing group.

41、technologyD.improve peoples singingDEvery human has a very unique arrangement of the skin on his finger and this arrangement is unchangeable. Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness (独特性) of fingerprints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern (式样) is passed on from parents to child
42、ren, though nobody knows why this is the case.The ridge (脊状) structure on a persons lingers does not change with the growth and is not affected by superficial (表面的) injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to tile outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by the new one which bears a reproductio
43、n (再现) of the original pattern. It is when the inner skin is injured that tile arrangement will be destroyed. Stone criminals make use of tilts fact to remove their own fingerprints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.Fingerprints call be made very easily with printers ink. They can be rec
44、orded easily. With special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity (简单) and economy of this system, fingerprints have often been used as a method of solving criminal cases. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His fing
45、er- prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.When a suspect leaves fingerprints behind at a scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eyes.

48、pects fingerprint is found by the police, he cannot _ the charge.（分数：1.00）A.acceptB.commitC.denyD.prove(4).Which of the following is NOT included in the meaning of tile underlined word “develop”?（分数：1.00）A.To make the fingerprint go quickly.B.To make the fingerprint seen.C.To make the fingerprint clear.D.To make the fingerprint complete.ENew service!
