22、 at the foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business. So they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went travelling around that famous city. They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would

23、 have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served (提供 ) after seven. They were surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night. “Are you still serving dinner?“ asked Mr. Smith. “Yes, certainly, sir. “ a

24、nswered the man. “We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine. “ “But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights (风景 ) of London. “said Mrs. Smith. 51 Mr. and Mrs

26、a cheap hotel （ C） it was near many interesting places （ D） they now had enough money 53 When they arrived at the hotel, they found _. （ A） no meals were served after seven （ B） dinner was still being served （ C） their plane had arrived too late （ D） they had to go to bed hungry 54 When the man told

27、 them the times of meals at the hotel. Mrs. Smith felt _. （ A） disappointed （ B） tired （ C） pleased （ D） satisfied 55 We have a rather small house, with only one spare (多余的 ) bedroom. You can imagine (想象 ) our alarm (惊恐 ) when Aunt Clara wrote to say that she was coming with her children to stay for

28、 the weekend. Her family was not a small one, with four boys all under the age of twelve. I sent off a telegram (电报 ) at once, explaining that our house was too small. Aunt Clara called us up the next morning. “I forgot to mention (提到 ) to you, “she said in her sweetest voice, “the boys will be brin

29、ging their tents (帐篷 ) . “ Even so, my wife was still worried. It was true we had a large garden, but there was still the problem of feeding (喂养 ) four growing boys. “And what if it rains? “ she added. Luckily Saturday morning turned out to be bright and clear when I went to the station to meet Aunt

30、 Clara. I pushed the boys, together with the luggage (行李 ) , into the back of the car, with great difficulty of course. The youngest sat in front, with Aunt Clara and me. On the way home. I talked over the shoulder (肩 ) to David, the eldest boy, “I didnt see your tents among your luggage“ “The tents

31、! “ cried David. “ My God! We left them at home.“ 55 We were not glad to have Aunt Claras family with us because _. （ A） she and four boys （ B） our house was small （ C） it was the weekend （ D） her family was not small 56 Aunt Clara called us to say that her sons would stay _. （ A） in the garden （ B）

32、 in the spare room （ C） home （ D） in the car 57 My wife was still worried because _. （ A） it was going to rain （ B） we had a large garden （ C） it was hard to feed so many people （ D） Aunt Clara had a sweet voice 58 _people sat in the car. （ A） Six （ B） Less than six （ C） Seven （ D） Five 59 American

33、society is not nap (午睡 ) friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “Theres even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep“. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: “Some sleep five hours,

34、nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.“ Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping“, says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research. Last year a national co

35、mmission led by Dement identified an“ American sleep debt “which one member said was important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the Whi

36、te House. According to recent reports, president Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze (打瞌睡 ) every afternoon. About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a midafternoon quiet phase“ also called “a secondary sleep gate“. Sleeping 15 minutes to two hour

37、s in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap. We superstars of Snooze dont nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather,we “snack“ on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buse

38、s, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums. 59 It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is _. （ A） unreasonable （ B） criminal （ C） harmful （ D） costly 60 The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans _. （ A） dont l

39、ike to take naps （ B） are terribly worried about their national debt （ C） sleep less than is good for them （ D） have caused many industrial and traffic accidents 61 The purpose of this article is to _. （ A） warn us of the wickedness of napping （ B） explain the danger of sleepiness （ C） discuss the s

40、ide effects of napping （ D） convince the reader of the necessity of napping 62 The “American sleep debt“ (Line 1, Para. 3) is the result of _. （ A） the traditional misconception have about sleep （ B） the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration （ C） the rapid development of American industry （

41、 D） the Americans worry about the danger of sleepness 63 Many small cultural groups live in places far away from modern cities. Some of these tribes have never had any communication outside of their small areas. When they do contact the outside world, their lives usually change. Learning how to chan

42、ge without losing the best of their own cultures is a problem for them. One native tribe in New Guinea has a difficult situation. The people of the tribe are being pulled in two ways. Copper has been discovered under the land where they have lived for centuries. Developers want to take the copper ou

43、t of the ground, to mine it. The tribe needs the money that a copper mine would bring. The problem is that the copper is directly under the most important building of their society. These buildings are a necessary part of their religion. How can the copper be mined without changing their religion? A

44、 group of people are trying to help the tribe to learn to communicate with the rest of the world. Cultural Survival, Inc, is the name of the group. The people are anthropologists, scientists who study cultures. The organization wants to teach them how to live in the modern world. There is another or

45、ganization like this in London. It is called Survival International. One in Copenhagen is called the International Workshop for Local Affairs. These two groups have joined with Cultural Survival Inc. to help people become used to modern culture. These organizations work with another kind of problem,

46、 too. Sometimes a central government does not consider the needs of local people in developing new projects. Often they suffer a great loss and Cultural Survival, Inc. helps them. Cultural Survival Inc. and its sister organizations also give advice about tourism (旅游业 ). The tourist business can caus

47、e problems. Many small societies need to earn money, but a large group of visitors can hurt their culture. Also the local people could use the help of Cultural Survival, Incorporated. 63 The passage mainly discusses about _. （ A） how Cultural Survival, Inc. helped a tribe to solve the problem of cop

48、per mining （ B） why local cultures should be saved （ C） the work of Cultural Survival, Inc （ D） the difficulties in saving local cultures 64 In contact with the outside world, a small cultural group should _. （ A） learn something while keeping something of its own （ B） remain what they used to be （

49、C） change itself as more, as it can （ D） be careful in order not to be cheated 65 Why does the copper discovered in a native tribe in New Guinea give rise to a problem? Because _. （ A） it will soon be mined （ B） it will bring money for the tribe （ C） it is too for mining （ D） the mining of the copper will affect the tribes religion 66 The number of the task of Cultural Survival, Inc. mentioned in the passage is
