Alaska is now the largest of all the 50 states of the United States. It was i

28、n 1867 that President A. Johnson“s Secretary of State (国务卿), Seward bought Alaska from the Russians at a 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 t

29、o have no importance in time of war. Besides, there are volcanoes there as Alaska lies on the Pacific “ring 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 “Seward“s Fooly“ at that time. However, in 1896 gold was fo

30、und in Alaska, and people poured into the land quickly. Since then other important natural resources were discovered, including oil. Soon people changed their thinking about “Seward“s Fooly“. But most people visit Alaska in order to see the endless beauty of nature that the northern land discloses t

31、o them. For instance, there are about 11,000 islands in Alaska. And in a certain area of Alaska the sun does not set for 82 days every year.（分数：12.00）(1).Alaska belonged to _ before 1867.（分数：3.00）A.RussiaB.AmericaC.CanadaD.Japan(2).The buying of Alaska was first called _.（分数：3.00）A.a foolish thingB.

This might be called laziness, but Dr.Kleitman has a ne

34、w explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you“re “hot“. That“s 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 durin

35、g 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 (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You“ll be late for work again!“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the

36、evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can“t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr.Kleitman believes. Maybe you“re sleepy in the

37、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 energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won“t change your cycle, but you“ll g

38、et 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 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 bef

39、ore. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.（分数：12.00）(1).Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?（分数：3.00）A.Unawareness of energy cycles.B.Familiar monologues.C.A change in

40、 a family member“s energy cycle.D.Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family member.(2).If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _.（分数：3.00）A.change his energy cycleB.overcome his lazinessC.get up earlier than usualD.go to bed earlier(3).You are advi

41、sed to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _.（分数：3.00）A.help to keep your energy for the day“s workB.help you to control your temper early in the 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 tru

42、e?（分数：3.00）A.Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one“s energy.B.Dr.Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.C.Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D.Children have energy cycles, too.九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Many people want to know h

43、ow 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, Sam“s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle. Next the thinker mus

44、t 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 the frame. He must make his problem more specific. Now the person must look for information that will make the probl

45、em 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 look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. After studying the p

46、roblem, 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 replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels. Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the pr

47、oblem. 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 piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gea

48、r 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：12.00）(1).In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except _.（分数：3.00）A.recognize and define the problemB.look for informati

49、on to make the problem clearerC.have suggestions for a possible solutionD.find a solution by trial or mistake(2).By referring to Sam“s broken bicycle, the author intends to _.（分数：3.00）A.illustrate 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：3.00）A.in the
