be careful and took Spot with me for 37.One day I was out fishing with Spot when we heard a lot of shouting in the 38 followed by a scream and splash.I was a bit 39 so I called Spot and we both hid 40 a bush where we could see but not be 41.After a few moments,a straw hat came drifting down the river,followed by an oar,a picnic basket and 42 oar.Then came the rowing boat itself,but it was 43 upside

catch the boat as it went past.Luckily,47,the boat and both the oars had been caught by an overhanging tree a little further downstream,but not the hat or picnic basket.So I had to let them 48 my

study out of the University of Buffalo reported that people who routinely sleep more than eight hours a day and are still tired are nearly three times as likely to dir of stroke-probably as a result of an 4underlying disorder that keeps them from sleeping soundly.Doctors have their own special sleep problems.Residents are famously short of sleep.It is not unusual for them to work 40 hours in a row without rest.They are not in the least worried about it,confident they can still deliver the highest quality of medical care.But an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association points out that in the morning after 24 hours of sleeplessness,a persons motor performance is comparable to that of someone who is drunk.Curiously,surgeons who believe that operating under the influence of alcohol is grounds for sacking often dont think twice about operating without enough sleep.“I could tell you horror stories,”says Jaya Agrawal,president of the American Medical Student Association,which runs a website for residents.Some are terrifying.“I was operating after being up for over 36 hours,“one writes.“I literally fell asleep standing up and nearly planted my face into the wound.”“Practically every surgical resident I know has fallen asleep at the wheel driving home from work,”writes another.“I know of three who have hit parked cars.Another hit a Jersey gate on the New Jersey Expressway,going 105km/h.”“Your own patients have become the enemy,”writes a third,because they are“the one thing that stands between you and a few hours of sleep.”The U.S.controls the hours of pilots and truck drivers.But until such a system is in place for doctors,patients are on their own.If youre worried about the people treating you or a loved one,you should feel free to ask how many hours of sleep they have had and if more rested staffers are available.51 Sleep is a funny thing because _.A.the longer one sleeps,the less sound sleep he gets B.the more sleep one gets,the more likely a stroke occurs C.many people stick to about eight hours of sleep to stay fine D.many people who sleep six hours a night still feel energetic in the day52 A surgeon who has worked 40 hours in a row without sleep _.A.can still provide quality medical care B.will remain alert because he is used to it C.may ignore the potential risk of insufficient sleep D.should be fired if he continues the medical operation53 According to one resident,they are short of sleep because _.A.they are too tired to fall asleep B.they are forbidden to sleep at work C.they are kept by treating their patients D.they are too worried about oversleeping54 They resident who hit a“Jersey gate”on the New Jersey Expressway must have _.A.fallen asleepB.drunk too muchC.been driving too longD.avoided hitting parked cars555.Patients are now advised to _.A.monitor the hours of doctors by themselvesB.make sure that the doctors who treat them have had enough sleepC.ask for legal control of the hours of doctorsD.allow their doctors to sleep several hours before the operation （2）Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man:since records began to be written down,it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities have numbered in the millions,and that earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculation.The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides,floods,fire,disease,tsunamis(gigantic sea waves),and other observable events resulting from earthquakes,rather than from the quake themselves.The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas.One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses.The other extends from the East Indians to the Atlas Mountains,including the Himalayas,Iran,Turkey,and the Alpine regions.It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place;they may,however,happen anywhere at any time.This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes,but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible.By analyzing changes in animal behavior,patterns of movements in the earths shell,variations in the earths force of attraction,and the frequency with which minor earth shakes are observed,scientists have shown increasing success in expecting when and where earthquakes will strike.As a result,a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for(and thus lessen)the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether,but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood,man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.56.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Earthquake destruction is declining B.Earthquake forecast is improving C.Man is no longer fearful of earthquakes.D.Man is capable of conquering earthquakes57.We can infer from the passage that quakes _.A.may happen anywhere at any time B.mostly strike in oceans and mountains C.are unobservable in masses of land D.are hardly the direct cause of fatalities58.The phrase“this element of the unknown”(Paragraph 3)refers to _.A.the extension of earthquake zones B.the percentage of earthquake occurrences6 C.when and where earthquakes may occur D.what big damage earthquakes may cause59.Mans research on earthquake forecast at present is to _.A.reduce the loss from earthquake disasters B.lower the frequency of earthquakes C.release the energy that causes earthquakes D.analyze the relationship between different earthquakes60.Which of the following describes the authors purpose in writing the passage?A.Inform the reader B.Entertain the reader C.Disprove a concept D.Question a concept （3）Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella ends,but did you ever really think about how she spent her days before she met the prince?Her daily routine was not fascinating.She did everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals.If someone had asked Cinderella,“Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?”She probably would have answered,“Why,none,of course.Housework is my duty!”In the real world,however,most people have definite dislikes for certain sorts of household work.Two of these tasks are ironing clothes and washing dishes.Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thought-lessly.Each piece of clothing must be handled individually,so ironing a basket of laundry can take hours!After ironing a piece of clothing with great caution,which requires smoothing out the fabric,and following the seams,you need to place it on a hanger as soon as possible.If you do not follow these directions carefully,it might become wrinkled and you have to start over.Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do.It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes.Of course,some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now!However,no one would argue that dishes,silverware,and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher dont come out as clean as they do when washed by hand.For this reason,many of us continue to wash our dishes by hand.,but we are not necessarily happy doing it.Cleaning dishes is a job that not only take a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them.In addition,unlike ironing clothes,washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day.I dont know how Cinderella felt about this particular task,but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.61.For Cinderella,doing household work is _.A.an assignment B.a compulsionC.an obligation D.a burden62.Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because _.A.it has to be done by one person B.it must be handled skillfullyC.it involves careful planning D.it is time-consuming63.To avoid ironing the clothes over again,one should _.7A.know how to iron certain clothes materialB.spare no care through all the proceduresC.find some proper hangers for the ironed D.pay special attention to the seams64.Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because_.A.hand-washed dishes are cleaner B.dishwashers are not so easily handledC.some dishes cannot be machine-washed D.washing dishes by hand is cheaper65.Ironing is different from dishwashing in that_.A.it requires patience B.it is not a daily r
