8、Passage Two
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 AI Herpin turned out to be a real exception,for supposedly,he never slept!
A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey.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 news-papers.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 be-fore he had been born.Herpin died at the age of 94,never having slept a wink.
A1 Herpin's condition could be regarded as______
A、normal
B、curable
C、healthful
D、rare

9、The earliest immigrants to North America found Indians already living there.The Indians numbered about 500,000 at that time.Their society was a primitive society,but they lived peacefully and welcomed the white strangers to the land.However,these early immigrants from Europe didn't want to share the land with the natives.They killed off many of the Indians,seized their land or pushed them off to lands farther away.Today the Indians,not more than half a million,live in poverty and misery on the land on which they were once masters.
The earliest immigrants were the Spanish,who settled in the southern part of what is now the US.The next large group were the English,after the English came the French,Dutch,Irish,Germans,and other nationality groups,mostly European.
Another early group to arrive were the Negroes.But they were brought in as slaves from Africa.They didn't win freedom till generations later.
Which is the best title of this passage?
A、The Earliest People in North Americ
B、The Earliest Immigrants to North Americ
C、The People of the United State

11、Scotland provides superb opportunities to enjoy wild and grand scenery which is even more impressive than the postcards suggest.It also offers towns and cities with a rich cultural life,a good mix of accommodation and places to eat and drink.Friendly and welcoming,it is an interesting and colorful all-season destination,where landscapes and the environment,sport and leisure pursuits,heritage and history,culture and cuisine are all part of a rewarding experience.
The best reason for choosing to go on holiday to Scotland is:one of the last places inside the crowded and frenetic European Union where it is possible to be alone isolated countryside.This is not to say that Scotland,like everywhere else,does not have its tourist traps,its crowded roads or its popular beauty spots.But it is relatively easy to escape from them.
It would be a mistake to think that Scotland is merely an extension of England.
Indeed,no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots.They successfully resisted English attempts at domination for seven hundred years,and many differences between the two countries persist.
Scotland's history,embodied in its castles,battlefields,and ancient links with France,Flanders and Scandinavia,is special.
When you say that Scotland is like England,the Scottish__.
A、feel insulted
B、are offended
C、are amused
D、feel shocked
(  C  )
12、Californian Michael Schwabe said goodbye to the gas pump two years ago.He leased an electric car.Schwabe says he gets more out of driving an electric car than just a charge.
"With the price of gasoline and with the problems with clean air,it's important we get electric vehicles out on the road."
On California roads there are about two thousand electric cars.By 2003,ten percent of all new cars may be required to have zero emissions.This is a mandate automakers say it is way ahead of its time.
Gloria Bergquist of the Alliance of Auto Manufacturers says,"The technology(for zero emissions)isn't here yet;it still needs advancement in driving range to make it more appealing to a wider consumer audience."
Auto makers blame it on the batteries.Power runs out on most cars after about 70 miles.However,some cars can now go more than 100 miles on a charge.Batteries are expensive.Carmakers say there is nothing they can do about it.
Tim Carmichael of the Clean Air Coalition says,"The automakers have not built a vehicle unless required to do so,so it's very important for the state to stay committed to this program requiting automakers to build small amounts in beginning years and then the market will take off."
Right now the California Air Resources Board requires that a percentage of new cars sold should be free of emissions.What is that percentage?
A、1%.
B、5%.
C、10%.
D、100%.
(  A  )
13、The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball.
In ancient Egypt,as everywhere,pitching stones was a favorite children's game.But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child.Looking for something less dangerous to throw,the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.
At first,balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines.Later they were made of piece of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay.
Even though the Egyptians were warlike,they found time for peaceful games.Before long they had developed a number of ball games,each with its own set of rules.Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun.Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.
This selection says that the Egyptians played__.
A、many different games with balls
B、many different kinds of games
C、only one ball game
D、different games with similar roles
(  A  )
14、Key James,Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government,loves to turn the tables on those who don't think it's possible to be middle-class,conservative,educated and still be truly black.Once,during an abortion debate,a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn't have a clue about real African American life."If you understood what these women go through,"the woman said,"you would realize that abortion is their only choice."
James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare.She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family.Now she discovers another child is on the way."How would you counsel that woman?"asked James.
"Have an abortion,"the woman responded."That child would have a very poor quality of life."
"I have a vested interest in your answer,"James said."The woman I described was my mother.I was the fifth of six children born into poverty.And,in case you're interested,the quality of my life is just fine!"

B、happy
C、well-off

21、Music is part of the structure of our society; it sits at the heart of human experience and enriches(丰富)so many lives. Why, then, is it not central to our education system? This is a question I recently put forward to an all-party group on music education.I am 20 years old and began playing the piano at the Barracudas Band in Barrow-in-Furness,aged seven.The funding for the centre has now been cut. I took part in the primary tuition project, aged 11. The funding for that has also been cut now. It is a common problem across the country.Music is not an add-on, a “soft” subject or a luxury—it is absolutely essential to our existence.Every child deserves the opportunity to experience its benefits. Until music is held in the same regard as the “core” subjects of our curriculum, our society will be worse off. We need joy, empathy (共情) and hope on this planet more than ever, and taking away children’s opportunity to develop musical skills is to set ourselves up for a fall. Despite the many brilliant programs and projects to encourage young musicians (“Every Child a Musician,” “Awards for Young Musicians,” to name but a few), we are reaching a crisis point. We are in danger of destroying creativity, innovation(创新)and expression. Learning an instrument can help develop so many fundamental life skills. It promotes discipline, empathy, determination and cooperation as well as providing a sense of community and worth.Music has changed my life. It is a huge part of who I am. I have learned so much about the worldThrough music and the inspiring figures I have met through it I feel I have a duty to help ensure that others can benefit from its magic. Let us make it available to every single child.What does the author think of the role of music?
A、It is important for dealing with social crises.
B、It may offer children future job opportunities.
C、It is fundamental to the growth of a child.
D、It can help children learn core subjects.
