The   40   of “a body clock” should not be too   41   since the lives of most living things are controlled   42   the 24 hour night-and-day cycle.

For example, people who are not   47   to working at night can find that   48   of sleep causes them to   49   badly at work.
50   the daily cycle of sleeping and   51  , we also have other cycles which   52   longer than one day. Most of us would   53   that we feel good on some days and not so good on    54   ; sometimes our ideas seem to flow and at other times, they   55   do not exist.

答案

36---55    BADCD   CBBCA   BDCAB   DCADA  
解析

36 上文提到本世纪初,科学家们就已经发现人体不仅有血肉组成,还有时间。因此,根据这个发现,他们能够证明在人体内存在生物钟。be anxious to do渴望做某事,此处没有强调科学家的心理活动,故排除。
37 根据常识及文中第一句we’re built not just of flesh and blood but also of time.可知答案。
38 空格上所缺词应与and后面的fall 构成互补关系,才能较全面的概括人的活动。
39 结合前一句话中的controls可知,生物钟能使我们每天的表现不一样。show 证明,展示,指示;treat对待;change使改变。如选change就意为使我们发生变化,与上下文意思不符。
40  “生物钟”只是科学家经过研究而得出的一种结论或观点。
41 根据空格后面的原因状语从句可知答案。
42 大部分有生命的动物都受到日夜轮回这个时间循环的控制。
43 结合常识可知,人工作一天,到晚上应是比较劳累。另外,后面的fall asleep 应是由劳累引起的。dreamy多梦的,不应出现在fall asleep之前。
44 人休息了一晚上,第二天又充满了生机、活力。
45 如果时间循环被打乱,大部分人就会不舒服。
46 结合下一句的例子可知,此处应为人感到不舒服。
47  be used to doing something习惯于……。上文中提到人的生物钟如被打乱,可能会感到不舒服。所以,如果不习惯于在晚上工作的人如果晚上工作,工作就会做不好。
48  lack此处为名词,在从句中做主语,lack of…缺乏……。
49  perform工作;表现。
50 根据后面的also可得知答案。
51 人类的日夜循环分为两段时间:即睡眠时的时间和醒着的时间。
52 根据后面的longer than one day 可知,此处last意为持续。
53 大部分人都有这种体验,都同意这种看法。
54 上文提到了some days与之相对应的是other days即others。
55  此处just用于否定句中表强调,它们根本就不存在。
核心考点
试题【At the beginning of this century, medical scientists made an interesting discove】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三

The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to    1  students’ strong interest in computers?
Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different     2  giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students. There is     3  about the fact that IT learning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology.    4  ,views differ on whether the schools can achieve their targets, as success     5  whether they can make use of computers effectively.
Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see    6  difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At present,20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject    7  .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know the    8  that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it     9  to see the policy through.
Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forced to    10  the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.
Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools    11  IT learning has just started. All teachers—including the seniors who are very     12  in teaching, but who suddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to    13  from the very beginning. They will become    14  and their teaching performances may be badly affected. The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every school, and have     15  all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching     16  or the courses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT learning and then    17  the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to his    18  through the computer before class comes to an end in order to “complete” his IT learning    19  .   20   the teaching of the Chinese language is concerned, do computer lessons really achieve the desire goals to raise the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on? I am not so sure.
