9、ens when all sensations are stopped. This can be done in several ways. One method is to put a man inside a completely isolated room. This room is heavily sound-proofed and absolutely dark. There is no light or sound and the person is instructed just to lie motionless in a bed. People have stayed in
10、rooms such as this for as long as four days. The results of sensory deprivation (SD) vary with the individual.Soon after entering the confinement cell most subjects went to sleep and slept almost without interruption for ten to twenty-four hours. These are gross estimates for there was nothing by wh
11、ich the subjects could determine the time which had elapsed. We know for certain that one subject slept for nineteen hours but insisted that he had had a nap of less than one hour. According to the monitoring microphone, which was capable of picking up the deep breathing of sleep, it seems more like
12、ly that most subjects slept all of the first twenty-four hours.We felt that so much sleeping in the first day wasted the effects of confinement, so we started placing subjects in SD early in the morning. We reasoned that after a night s sleep our confined subject would be unable to dissipate(驱散) the
13、 effects of SD by sleeping. Such was not the case. As far as we could determine they went to sleep just as quickly and slept just as long as the previous subjects. We then started entering the subjects at midmorning, midday, and midafternoon. As it turned out, it made no difference when during the d
14、ay and, presumably, during the night we started the confinement; the initial sleep period was always about the same.We had not expected this extended period of initial sleep. In fact, it had seemed reasonable to expect something of the opposite. SD was a very novel situation for our subjects, and as
15、 such, we reasoned, it should have occupied them for some time. I had a similar expectation for astronauts during space flight and was greatly surprised to learn that the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin had been able to sleep during his space flight around the earth.Other effects were also noted. Wit
16、h no real sensations to work on, the brain makes up all sorts of false information. Many people experience vivid dreams and hallucinations (幻觉). When they are finally taken out of the room into the real changing world of light and sound, they are in a very strange state of mind, ready to believe any

21、 a fact of life. Yet you can minimize the glitches that you experience with your computer by heeding the tips below.2. If you run Windows 98 or Windows Millennium, your computer should have at least 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM-and more if you find that your hard drive is churning a lot as you work wit
22、h your applications. You can also get by with 128 MB of RAM if you use Windows NT or Windows 2000, but these operating systems will run much more smoothly if you have 256 MB of RAM or more.3. Beta software, by its very nature, is pre-release softwaremeaning that it still has significant known bugs (
23、or defects). The same goes, unfortunately, for many shareware programs. The authors of shareware programs, typically, have much less time and fewer resources available for testing their programs. Consequently, it s far more common to find shareware software that is buggy.4. No-name hardwares may be
24、cheaper and sometimes just as good as name-brand products, but name-brand products usually became well-known because of their reliability. Its also wise to buy products from reputable companies because Windows will more often support the hardware that you purchase. If you are starting out with compu
25、ters, its also a good idea to buy ready-made systems from major manufacturers. These are likely to have tested thoroughly with your operating system, and you will generally experience fewer problems.5. No matter how well your system runs when you get it, the day will come when it will need to be rep
26、laced. Hopefully, you will replace it because the technology has become outdated, but you may need to replace it also because the hard drive crashes or you begin experiencing problems that no one can figure out. Thats why its important to back up your important files regularly. Whether you use a tap

29、最佳答案。B第一篇/B“Idle speculation“ has no place in science, but “speculation“ is its very lifeblood, a wellknown physicist believes.The more fundamental and far-reaching a scientific theory is, the more speculative it is likely to be. It is erroneous to believe that science is only concerned with “pure f
30、acts“, for mere accumulation of facts is a primitive form of science. A mature science tries to arrange facts in significant patterns to see relationships between previously unrelated aspects of the universe.A theory that does not suggest new ways of looking at the universe is not likely to make an
31、important contribution to the development of science. However it is also important that theories are checked by new experiments and observations.Dr. Ovenden discusses recent discoveries in biology, chemistry, and physics that give clues to the possibility of life in the solar system and other star s
32、ystems. He discusses conditions on Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, and considers whether or not the same conditions may be found on planets of other stars.Only the planets Venus, Earth, and Mars lie within the temperature zone, about 75,000, 000 miles wide in which life can exist. Venus is covered
33、 by a dense layer of clouds which permit no observation of the surface, and the surface temperature of the planet is not known.Mars is colder than Earth, the average temperature being about minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit, compared with plus 59 degrees Fahrenheit as the average for earth. However near t
34、he Mars poles during the summer season, temperatures may rise to as much as 70 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas winter temperatures may fall to minus 130 degrees Fahrenheit.Because of the extreme difference in the Martian(火星的) seasons, the only life forms expected to exist, without a built-in(内在的，固有的) te
35、mperature control such as warm-blooded animals and humans have, are those which would stay inactive most of the year.Attempts have been made to detect in the spectrum of the dark markings on Mars, the absorption lines due to chlorophyII. So far the test has not succeeded. But the infrared spectrum o
36、f the Martian markings has been found to be very similar to the spectrum of earth vegetation when studied at high altitudes.（分数：15.00）(1).Life, as we know it, most likely would exist on Mars near its _.（分数：3.00）A.polesB.equatorC.centerD.canals(2).According to the author, life cannot exist on _.（分数：3

39、provable factsD.must understand all sciencesB第二篇/BCertainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber(海参). All living creatures, especially human beings, have their peculiarities, but everything about the little sea cucumber seems unusual. What else can be said about an odd animal
40、 that, among other eccentricities, eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous hut is considered supremely edible by gourmets(美食家) ?For some fifty million years, despite all its eccentricities, the sea cucumber has subsisted on
41、 its diet of mud. It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet, under rocks in shallow water, or on the surface of mud fiats. Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has the ability to suck up .mud or sand and digest whatever nutrients are present.Sea cucumb
42、ers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish-brown to sandcolor and nearly white. One form even had vivid purple tentacles. Usually the creatures are cucumbers-shapedhence their nameand because they are typically rock inhabitants, this shape, combined with flexibility, enables them
43、 to squeeze into narrow cracks where they are safe from predators and ocean currents.Although they have voracious appetites, eating day and night, sea cucumbers have the capacity to become inactive and live at a low metabolic rate feeding sparingly or not at all for long periods, so that the marine
44、organisms that provide their food have a chance to multiply. If it were not for this faculty, they would devour all the food available in a short time and would probably starve themselves out of existence.But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself. Its major e
45、nemies are fish and crabs, when attacked, it squirts all its internal organs into the water. It also casts off attached structures such as tentacles. The sea cucumber will eviscerate 排除内脏) and regenerate itself if it is attacked or even touched; it will do the same if the surrounding water temperatu
