Passage 3

The thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people. The amount of sleep that each person needs varies. In general, each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy. Some people, however, can get by just a few hours of sleep at night.

It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps. But everyone needs some rest to stay alive. Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this. Sleep is, after all, a very basic need. But a man named Al Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept!

Al Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersy. They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen newspapers. His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia. Herpin offered the only clue to his condition. He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he had been born. Herpin died at the age of 94, never having slept a wink.

44、This passage centers on ________.

A：dream interpretation B：patterns of sleep C：Al Herpin's sleepless life D：sleeps and dreams 答案：C

45、The expression \A：a confusing expression B：a rude expression

C：an everyday expression D：an improper expression 答案：C

47、The most likely reason on Herpin's insomnia was ________.

A：his mother's injury before he was born B：that he never got tired

4 2

C：his magnificent physical condition D：that he got enough rest rocking 答案：A

Passage4

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd pubic places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed（恼怒）and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being（health and happiness）of local inhabitants.

Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourist industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities（设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourist hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

48、Which of the following topics has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?

A：It is extremely important to develop tourism. B：Building roads and hotels is essential. C：Support facilities are highly necessary. D：Planning is of great importance to tourism. 答案：D

49、Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT

A：a bad impact on other industries B：a change of tourists' customs C：over crowdedness of places of interest D：pressure on traffic 答案：B

50、Not enough tourism can lead to A：an increase of unemployment B：a decrease in tourist attractions C：the higher cost of support facilities D：a rise in prices and a fall in pay 答案：A

51、The word \ A：carry away B：pick up C：get in D：take down 答案：A

People often consider of three things when they are finding a job.

First, people think about income. If a job can provide them with a fat salary, they can afford a big house and a nice car, and live a meaningful and colorful life. Second, they consider if a job suits their major. If it does, they can well put what they have learned into practice. Third, people think about working conditions of a job. For example, some people don't want to work outdoors because they don't want to suffer from wind, rain, and the hot sun.

In brief, people often consider the above three factors when they are finding a job.
