What makes you sleepy every night at 10 o'clock and awake at 8 o'clock the next morning? It's your "body clock". It controls your nightly (每夜的) habits. It makes you feel sleepy and at other times awake. But what controls your body clock? What changes it according to different situations?
US scientists found that a light-sensitive protein (蛋白质) in the retina (视网膜) is important in setting the "body clock" in animals. On December 20, the finding of this protein was listed as one of the 10 scientific breakthroughs of year 2002 by the famous magazine Science.
Most blind people don't respond (反应) to changes in the length of day. This led scientists to study that special protein in the retina.
Scientists studied mice that had been created to lack the gene 基因) for this protein. They found that, compared with normal mice, these animals showed less of a response to changes in light — their body clocks did not "reset" (重新调整) as often as those of normal mice did.
"The clock is not getting all of the light information because the retina lacks the protein, and the body clock 'sees' less light," Dr. Norman F. Ruby, one of the scientists, explained.
When people have a work shift changes or travel across time zones, scientists wanted to understand how the body "resets" its clock.
Now this finding confirms that this protein plays a vital role in making the body clock adapt (调节) to the outside world.
With the growing understanding of how the body sets its clock, some scientists hope to use this to make better drugs and treatment for particular sleep disorders like insomnia (失眠).
Besides governing the sleep-wake cycle, the body clock plays a central role in hormone (激素) production, blood pressure and body temperature. Body clock disturbances (紊乱) can cause health results, from stomach upset and ulcers (溃疡) to heart disease.
40. What makes you feel sleepy or awake?
A. The light-sensitive protein in the retina
B. One of the 10 scientific breakthroughs
C. Body clock
D. Changes according to different situations
41. What does the word “vital” in paragraph 7 mean?
A. important B. necessary
C. possible D. particular
42. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Most blind people who lack the gene for the special protein in their retina couldn’t reset their clock as often.
B. The body can’t reset its clock when people have a work shift changes or travel across time zone.
C. Better drugs and treatment have been made to cure sleep disorder like insomnia.
D. The clock can get all of the light information in spite of there being no protein.
C
Qin Si: China is such a large country with so many farmers whose children may not know what a "hamburger" is, and they won't be able to finish their homework. People should think carefully before publishing these books. I hope such oversight (疏忽) never appear again.
Li Jing: I don't think it matters if the textbooks centre on city life. But I think teachers should tell students about city life or let them see some pictures before classes.
Kong Xiaotian: I think writing textbooks is the same as creating art and music. It should come from real life. China is a big farming country where most people are farmers. The writers should visit poor villages and experience real life there. Then they will write better textbooks.
Guo Jin: We should think again before writing the textbooks. We should consider the students in the countryside The aim of teaching is to educate everyone around the country. So the contents must be common enough for everyone to understand.
Wang Sichen: We should tell country children about newly emerging things (新兴事物). Life in the city is quite different from that in the country. So we should help them experience modern life and catch up with the changing world.
Zhao Yan (teacher): It is not enough for rural (农村的) children to learn from texts only about city life. Our books should have more things that country students are familiar with, such as stories about farms or in fields. It is unfair to centre on city life, because life is made up of many parts. Departments concerned (有关部门) should pay more attention to students' lives in the country when writing their textbooks.
43. Which of the following persons agree the textbooks shouldn’t center on city life only?
A. Qin Si, Li Jing, Kong Xiaotian
B. Li Jing, Wang Sichen, Zhao Yan
C. Qin Si, Kong Xiaotian, Guo Jin
D. Kong Xiaotian, Guo Jin, Wang Sichen
44. What can be good textbooks according to the passage?
A. Books that are about city life
B. Books about newly emerging things
C. Books for rural children
D. Books written by the writers who experience real life
45. Which of the following can best describe the passage?
A. Oversight should never appear again.
B. Help children experience modern life.
C. Excuse me, what is a hamburger?
D. Attention should be paid to students’ life.

Part A
In 2001 the United Kingdom was hit again by foot-and-mouth disease(口蹄疫), the first time since the 1960s, causing a national crisis. However, much of the panic and confusion was spread largely as a result of ignorance of the disease.
Foot-and-mouth is a highly contagious(传染性的) disease found in Africa, South America, Asia, the Middle East and parts of Europe. It affects cloven-footed(偶啼) domestic animals such as cows, pigs, sheep and goats, as well as wild animals like rats and deer and zoo animals such as elephants, horses, however, cannot contract（感染）the disease.
It is very rare for humans to catch the disease. Indeed, only one case has been recorded in Great Britain and that was in 1967.
Part B
Foot-and-mouth disease is insidious（潜伏的）and can be spread by direct and indirect contact with infected animal. The disease can be spread on the wind, and can be spread by people, equipment or vehicles which have been in contact with the disease.
Although the authorities do not really know where this latest outbreak of the disease originated, it can enter a country in frozen meat imported from other countries where the disease is common. Unlike Mad Cow Disease (BSE) and the human equivalent CJD, foot-and-mouth has no implication（牵连） for the human food chain. Any meat, milk, cheese and other dairy products can be consumed quite safely.
Part C
It seems that the only way to control the disease is to kill infected animals. There is no cure for the disease, and although adult animals normally recover in 2-3 weeks, they sadly remain carriers of the virus for up to two years.
From the time the disease was first reported to the time the epidemic（流行）was officially declared over, one and a half million and more domestic animals were slaughtered and large areas of the countryside were closed to the public. These areas included parks, woods and forests, and various leisure attractions situated in the countryside.
46. The main purpose of writing this passage is_______.
A. to warn people of the danger of the disease
B. to describe the disaster by the disease
C. to share some of the facts
