We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning. According to the evolutionary theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place , but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent. The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers. 1. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us _____. A) the differences between robots and men B) the reason why men need to sleep C) about the need for robots to save power D) about the danger of men working at night 2. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him _______. A) maintain a regular pattern of life B) prevent trouble that comes looking for him C) avoid danger and inefficient labor D) restore his bodily functions 3. According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we _________. A) are worrying about our safety B) are overworked C) are in a tent D) are away from home 4. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ________. need more time for restoration B) are unlikely to be attackers C) are more active than horses when they are awake D) spend less time eating to get enough energy 5. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? A) Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking. B) The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory. C) Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots. D) The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. It has been thought and said that Africans are born with musical talent. Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in Africa, we are inclined to think that all Africans are musicians. The impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators. Music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of music. We have records, television, concerts, and radio to fulfill man y of our musical needs. In most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa. Alban Ayipaga, a Kasena semiprofessional musician from northern Ghana, says that when his Flute and drum ensemble is performing, “Anybody can take part”. This is true, but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music. Some can sing along with drummers, but relatively few can drum and even fewer can play the flute along with the ensemble. It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound. Performances often take place in an open area (that is, not on a stage) and so the lines between the performing nucleus and the additional performers, active spectators, and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view. 6.The difference between us and Africans, as far as music is concerned, is that . most of us are consumers while most of them are producers of music. we are musical performers and they are semiprofessional musicians. most of us are passive spectators while they are active spectators. we are the audience and they are the additional performers. 7.The word “such”(Line9) refers to the fact that . music is performed with the participation of the audience. music is performed without the participation of the audience. people tend to distinguish the audience from the performers. people have records, television sets and radio to fulfill their musical needs. 8.The author of the passage implies that . all Africans are musical and therefore much music is performed in Africa. not all Africans are born with musical talent although music is important in their lives. most Africans are capable of joining in the music by playing musical instruments. most Africans perform as well as professional musicians. 9.The word “nucleus” probably refers to . musicians famous in Africa musicians at the center of attention musicians acting as the core in a performance active participants in a musical performance 10.The best title for this passage would be . The Important of Music to African People Differences Between African Music and Music of Other Countries The Relationship Between Musicians and Their Audience A Characteristic Feature of African Musical Performances Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the English- man objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ form the inhabitants of most countries of the world today, In the past our won blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom , and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding, as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident. 11. We can infer from the passage that ________. A) English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats B) people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats C) people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats D) modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living 12. What is said about blocks of flats built in the past in Britain? A) They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much. B) They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families. C) They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed. D) They provided playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings. 13. The word “rage” (Line 11?) means “ ” A) be ignored B) develop with great force C) encourage people greatly D) be in fashion 14. Some people oppose the building of flats because ________. A) the living expenses for each individual family are higher B) it involves higher cost compared with the building of houses C) they believe people like to live in houses with gardens D) the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats 15. The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses ________. A) do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the city B) have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service work C) take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered community D) have to spend more money and time traveling to work every day Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. Where do pesticides fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil, water and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and bridles. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world? We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides are very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world. Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative over long periods of time, and that the danger to the individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. “Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs, ” says a wise physician, Dr Rene Dubos, “yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed.” 16. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence. “Man…is part of nature” (Lines 4, Para.1)? Man appears indifferent to what happens in nature. B) Man acts as if he does not belong to nature. C) Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution. D) Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental protection. 17. What is the author’s attitude towards the environmental effects of pesticides? A) Pessimistic B) Indifferent C) Defensive D) Concerned 18. In the author’s view, the sudden death caused by exposure to large amounts of pesticides ________. A) is not the worst of the negative consequences resulting from the use of pesticides B) now occurs most frequently among all accidental deaths C) has sharply increased so as to become the center of public attention D) is unavoidable because people can’t do without pesticides in farming 19. People tend to ignore the delayed effects of exposure to chemicals because ________. A) limited exposure to them does little harm to people’s health B) the present is more important for them than the future C) the danger does not become apparent immediately D) humans are capable of withstanding small amounts of poisoning 20. It can be concluded from Dr. Dubois remarks that ________. A) people find invisible diseases difficult to deal with B) attacks by hidden enemies tend to be fatal C) diseases with obvious signs are easy to cure D) people tend to overlook hidden dangers caused by pesticides Part III Vocabulary & Structure (词汇和结构) （15分，每小题0.5分） The meeting’s been cancelled.
