All over the world people are spending their lives either on doing jobs where the mind must be kept numb(麻木的)all day, or else on highly rewarded activities which are tedious. One can get accustomed to operating an adding-machine for five and a half days a week, or to writing advertisements to persuade the public that one brand of cigarettes is better than another. Yet no one would do either of these things for its own sake. Only the money makes them tolerable. But if you really understand an important and interesting subject, like the structure of the human body or the history of the two World Wars, it is a genuine happiness to explain them to others, to wele every new book on them, and to learn as you teach. With this another reward of teaching is very closely linked. That is the happiness of making something. When the pupils e to you, their minds are only half-formed, full of black spaces and vague notions and over simplifications. You do not merely insert a lot of facts, if you teach them properly. It is not like injecting 500 C. C. of serum(血浆), or giving a years dose of vitamins. You take the living mind, and mould it. It resists sometimes. It may lie passive and apparently refuse to accept anything you print on it. Sometimes it is shaped too easily, and then seems to melt again and bee featureless. But often it es into firmer shape as you work, and gives you the inparable happiness of helping to create a human being. To teach a boy the difference between truth and lie in print, to start him thinking about the meaning of poetry or patriotism, to hear him hammering back at you with the facts and arguments you have helped him to find, sharpened by himself and fitted to his own powers, gives the sort of satisfaction that an artist has when he makes a picture out of black canvas（画布） and chemical colorings, or a doctor when he hears a sick pulse pick up and carry the energies of new life under his hands.56. What makes people tolerant of tedious jobs is_.Athe job itselfBthe moneyCthe significance of the jobDthe fact that it can keep the mind numb57.According to the author, it is genuine happiness to .

Or pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It would be ridiculous, right? But when it es to devastation (毁灭) of the natural world, we arent so easily shocked. But we should beor well be ina lot of trouble.Nature is shrinking by the day. Ancient forests are destroyed. Wetlands are being dry. Woodland is disappearing, and all in the name of progress. This is bad in itself, but its devastating for biodiversity.Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things that are all interconnected. The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life. The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis (光合作用) by green plants. Insects, worms and bacteria break down waste and make soils rich. And tiny organisms clean the water in rivers and sea. In fact, all life on the earth exists thanks to the benefits of biodiversity. More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species. And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.The loss of biodiversity could be devastating. “It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edward O. Wilson, known as the “father of biodiversity”. He warned, “We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will bee irreversible (不可挽回的).”But what can we do? The present problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague (含糊的). People might care about giant pandas, but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines. The Guardian newspaper is trying to help. It has launched the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity. This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reserve the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing, stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and banning the killing of dingoes (wild dogs) in Australia, among many other things.There is a lot to do. And wed better act quickly if we dont want to end up with a planet that cant sustain life!61.The writer thinks it _ to pull down Big Ben to make way for a car park.A.unreasonableB.necessaryC.difficultD.essential62.The underlined sentence “Nature is shrinking by the day.” means that _.A.nature is badly polluted by humansB.species are being fewer and fewer day by dayC.rainforests are being cut down every dayD.nature is full of mysteries63.Edward O. Wilson thinks that _.A.it doesnt matter to reduce biodiversityB.people have done enough to preserve biodiversityC.the situation of biodiversity is very seriousD.biodiversity loss has bee irreversible64.When it es to biodiversity, the present problem is that _.A.people might not clearly know what is biodiversity and what should be protectedB.people are not aware that giant pandas are endangeredC.people dont realize that biodiversity is vital to everyday lifeD.people hunt sea creatures for food65.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 5 refer to?A.The UK government.B.The concept of biodiversity.C.The action to deal with the problem.D.The Guardian newspaper.DEverybody sleeps, but what people stay up late to catchor wake up early in order not to missvaries by culture. From data collected, it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep, on average, are sporting events, time changes, and holidays.Around the world, people changed sleep patterns thanks to the start or end of daylight savings time. Russians, for example, began to wake up about a half-hour later each day after President Vladimir Putin shifted the country permanently to “winter time”starting on October 26.Russias most late nights and early mornings generally correspond to public holidays. On New Years Eve, Russians have the worlds latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:30 am.Russians also get up an hour later on International Womens Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.Similarly, Americans late nights late mornings, and longest sleeps fall on three-day weekends.Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey（冰球）final.The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation（剥夺）, The worst night for sleep in the U.K. was the night of the England-Italy match on June 15. Brits stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, pared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup.It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns, in some of these nations, its likely that only the richest people do. And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if thats the case, though, the above findings are still striking, If the most health-conscious among us have such deep swings in our shut-eye levels throughout the year, how about the rest of us ?66.

What is the most probable reason for some rich people to use a device to record their patterns?A. They have trouble falling asleep.B. They want to get sufficient sleep.C. They are involved in a sleep research. D. They want to go to bed on regular hours.70. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. Sleeplessness does harm to peoples health.B. Few people really know the importance of sleep.C. It is important to study our sleep patterns.D.Average people probably sleep less than the rich.Answer:16-20 CBDAC 21-25 CACBA 26-30 ADACD 31-35 CADAD 36-40 BADBC 41-45ACBDA 46-50 CADBB 51-55 ADCBA 56-60BDAAB 61-65 ABCAD 66-68 ACC
