17、 first English dictionary, called an Alphabetical Table of Hard Words, was published in 1604. The dictionary was actually (26) a list of about 3 000 difficult words, each followed by a one word (27) . The author, Robert Cawdrey, (28) to include everyday words in his dictionary. (29) , he reasoned, w

18、ould ever have to look up a word in a dictionary if he already knew the meaning of the word. During the 1600 s more dictionaries were published. Each followed Cawdrey s (30) and presented a few thousand (31) words. Around 1700 one dictionary maker, John Kersey, (32) define easy words as well as hard

19、 ones. But until the 1750 s all dictionaries were rather (33) and not very valuable.A man named Dr. Samuel Johnson (34) all this. In 1755 Dr. Johnson produced the first modern dictionary. He (35) in his dictionary all important words, both easy and hard, and he gave good meanings. He also gave good

20、sentences to show how each word was (36) used in speech and (37) . By the end of the 1700 s most dictionary makers (38) Johnson s lead. Dictionaries were getting better and better. The 1800 s (39) the greatest improvement (40) the quality of dictionaries. In England scholars planned and prepared the

25、sk their employees to pay more for their benefits by the year 2 000. This forecast comes from a recent survey of 400 executives conducted by the group Insurance Division of Northwestern National Life Insurance Company ( NWNL).A similar NWNL survey in 1986 found that two-thirds of the employers were

26、planning to add benefits. Now, two-thirds are planning to offer fewer choices. Factors cited as driving up the cost of health care include hospital and doctor fees, new medical technology, and malpractice suits. Employers also face the expensive prospect of providing health care for the growing numb

27、er of retirees. Says the employee benefit director of a Boston communication company, “With people living longer, and being sicker when older, we could be paying a big sum of money for 30 to 40 years after they retire.“Compulsory benefits are also likely to increase health-care costs to employers. A

28、 majority of the respondents predict that the federal government will demand benefits for all employees. More than one fourth of the employers surveyed think it is very likely that the government will establish a national plan by the year 2000, and a similar number foresee regulation of doctor and h

29、ospital fees. However, a large majority doubt such measures are very likely to be effective in controlling health-care costs.Besides holding employees, responsible for a larger share of their benefit costs, more employers will offer flexible benefit plans with limited employer contributions. Health-

30、education programs will grow in the workplace, as employers try to lessen the need for expensive medical care. Other employers intent on cutting costs will design their benefit plans to allow their employees fewer choices in when and how they get medical care.Although the survey results reflect unce

31、rtainty about the future, they also offer reason for optimism, says U. S. Senator David Durenberger of Minnesota, “People are starting to come to grips with the question of how we can more effectively provide quality health care that is affordable and accessible,“ he asserts, “We no longer can write

32、 blank checks./（分数：10.00）(1).A recent survey conducted by NWNL found that _.（分数：2.00）A.new medical technology helps to reduce the cost of health careB.employees have to pay more for their benefitsC.employees will be offered more choices in the benefit plansD.two-thirds of the employers are thinking

33、of adding benefits(2).Which of the following will not cause the increase of the cost of health care cost?（分数：2.00）A.Compulsory benefits demanded by the government.B.Health-education program.C.Increasing number of retirees.D.Hospital and doctor fees.(3).What will the employers do to reduce the health

34、-care cost?（分数：2.00）A.They will not provide health care for the retirees.B.They will employ fewer employees.C.They will ask their employees to pay most of the cost.D.They will depend on the regulation of doctor and hospital fees.(4).The phrase “come to grips with“ in the last paragraph most probably

35、 means _.（分数：2.00）A.to understand completelyB.to deal seriously withC.to attack violentlyD.to firmly get hold of(5).Senator David Durenberger implies that _.（分数：2.00）A.people cannot afford the medical feeB.it is illegal to write blank cheeksC.it s impossible to solve the problem of health-careD.peop

36、le don t take the problem of health-care seriously in the past八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that its 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

37、 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 during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why

38、 this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as, “Get up, John Yon 11 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 mea

39、n, 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 youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually s

40、taying 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 11 get upstream and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up wi

41、th a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration fo

42、r your sharper hours.（分数：10.00）(1).If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably_.（分数：2.00）A.he is at his peak in the afternoon or eveningB.he is not sure when his energy is lowC.he refuses to follow his own energy cycleD.he is a lazy person(2).Which of the following may lead to family

43、 quarrels according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.unawareness of energy cycles.B.familiar monologues.C.attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.D.a change in a family member s energy cycle.(3).If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning he should _.（分数：2.00）

44、A.get up earlier than usualB.change her energy cyclesC.overcome his lazinessD.go to bed earlier(4).You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will_.（分数：2.00）A.keep your energy cycle under control all dayB.help to keep your energy for the day s workC.help you to control your temper ea

45、rly in the dayD.enable you to concentrate on your routine work(5).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.Children have energy cycles, too.B.Habit helps one adapt to his own energy cycle.C.Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save ones energy.D.Dr. Kleitman explains why p

46、eople reach their peaks at different hours of day.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Legend has it that sometime toward the Civil War (1861 -1865) a government train carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a snowstorm and had to be abandoned. The driver returned the

47、 next spring to see what had become of his cargo. Instead of the skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy. How had they survived?The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans had trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the “Great American Desert“ to rea

48、ch lands that sometimes proved barren. In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was as cultivated plant. It grew well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the west, that fa

49、miliar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless.Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that. They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously known as buffalo, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were
