　　第36题单选根据以下材料，回答下面试题

　　Space is a dangerous place,not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through,and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat,too,makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space,but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation. But their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft,if they are inside,do prevent a lot of radiation damage.

　　Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called

　　"rem". Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0. 1 rem

　　without being damaged;the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well,but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged,and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的)children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and,during the outward and return joumeys,the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far,no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported,but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere,working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation,but no really effective ones have been found so far.

　　第36题单选According to the first paragraph,the atmosphere is essential to man in that _ .

　　A. it protects him against the harmful rays from space

　　B. it provides sufficient light for plant growth

　　C. it supplies the heat necessary for human survival

　　D.it screens off the falling meteors

　　第37题单选 We know from the passage that _ .

　　A. exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal

　　B. the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming .

　　C. radiation is avoidable in space exploration

　　D. astronauts in spacesuits needn't worry about radiation damage

　　第38题单选 It can be inferred from the passage that

　　A. the Apollo mission was very successful

　　B. protection from space radiation is no easy job

　　C. astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren

　　D. radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers

　　第39题单选 The best title for this passage would be .

　　A. The Atmosphere and Our Environment

　　B. Research on Radiation

　　C. Effects of Space Radiation

　　D.Importance of Protection Against Radiation

　　第40题单选根据以下材料，回答下面试题

　　It seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain.lts first use was as a shade against the sun !

　　Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, as early as the eleventh century B. C.

　　We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour and authority. In the Far East in ancient times the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.

　　In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is beheved that the first persons in Europe to use the

　　umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.

　　During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared

　　again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and

　　authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.

　　By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight.lt wasn't until the twentieth century that women' s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colours.

　　第44题单选根据以下材料，回答下面试题

　　There is no creature that does not need sleep or complete rest every day.

　　If you want to know why, just try going without sleep for a long period of time. You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work properly. You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work. So sleep is quite simply the time when the cells of your body recover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.

　　One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are unconscious in sleep. We do not know what is going on around us. But that doesn't mean the body stops all activity. The important organs continue to work during sleep, but most of the body functions are slowed down.

　　For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The heart beats more slowly, and the be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake. So sleep does for us what the most quiet rest can not do.

　　Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep, which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers. And even though you are unconscious, many of your reflexes(反射动作) still work. For instance, if someone tickles(使觉得痒) your foot, you will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead. You do these things without knowing it.

　　第44题单选 If you don't have as much sleep as your body needs, you will

　　A. work properly

　　B. think clearly

　　C. keep your attention on your work

　　D. easily get angry

　　第45题单选 The cells of your body develop supplies of energy _'

　　A. when you are asleep -

　　B.when you recover from your work of the day

　　C. in the next period of activity

　　D. when you are quiet

　　第46题单选 In the clause "...that we are unconscious in sleep"(Para.3) ,the word "unconscious" means

　　A. untiring

　　B. unmoved

　　C. quiet

　　D. not knowing what is happening around

　　第47题单选 When you are sleeping,_.

　　A. all of you reflexes stop working

　　B. most of your reflexes stop working

　　C. many of your reflexes still work

　　D. all of your reflexes still work

　　第48题单选根据以下材料，回答下面试题

　　Ann Curry is a famous news presenter of the NBC News "Today" show. When she was 15 she

　　happened to wal.k into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves.

　　The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saying for college, so she said yes.

　　Ann worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the students' union

　　was a hotel maid and even made maps for the US Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.

　　One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Ann for books on cancer(癌症). The woman seemed anxious. Ann showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the store less worried, and Ann has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer.

　　Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, Ann heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and his hand. His family could not afford a surgical(外科的) operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.

　　Ann persuaded her boss to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgical operation for free.

　　Ann visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, "Thank you. " What a sweet sense of satisfaction Ann Curry felt!

　　At McCarley' s bookstore, Ann always sensed she was working for the customers, not the store.

　　Today it' s the same. NBC News pays her, but she feels as if she works for the people who watch the

　　programmes, helping them make sense of the world.

　　第52题单选根据以下材料，回答下面试题

　　The dog has always been considered man' s best friend. Always noted for being particularly

　　faithful in watching over children, he also has his place by the fireside, in the cow pasture, on the sheep range(放牧区) , and beside the hunter in forest. He is easy to train, works hard, and often performs astonishing feats. And in the frozen polar regions he was once the principal motive power,before being lately displaced by the plane and helicopter.

　　Because he howls or whines in the presence of impending death, the dog was once thought to have supematural powers and believed to be capable of seeing gods and ghosts invisible to men.Actual.ly, the basis for these beliefs lies in the hound's sensibility to people's feelings and his superior hearing ability and sense of smell, which enable him to detect signs hidden from human observation. .His record of saving lives is outstanding, for he often gives waming of fire and other dangers not noticed by his master.

　　The dog's major contribution, however, has been to medical research. Both his diet and his

　　structure are comparable to those of the human being, and so he has been the subject of countless

　　demonstrations and experiments. Open-heart surgery has been made possible largely because of the dog. But his sacrifice has repaid his own species as well by safeguarding it from rabies(狂犬病) ,distemper, and other diseases.

　　第54题单选 The dog has always been noted for .

　　A. protecting children
