In Revere, Masachusctts, a hundred policemen searched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.
At the University of Lowa, a student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking three—quarters of a mile to the lowa River. He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed.
An American expert on sleep claims(声称) that he has never seen a sleepwalker. He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man, and during the last thirty—five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep. He says, “Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers. But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I would get many takers.”
Sleepwalking, however, is a scientific reality. It is one of those strange things that sometimes looks quite fantastic(奇特的). Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed. Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and their sleepwalking is never recorded.
Generally speaking, sleepwalkers are people who __________.
A. climb on roofs B. walk through windows
C. do fantastic things during their sleep D. walk in a half—awake state
It was reported that a boy ________.
A. was found on a strange sofa, telling how he had got there
B. slept in his own room but woke up in a strange room
C. lost his way five hours after he left home
D. was searched for by policemen when he lost his way

A. getting up in the middle of the night and walking down to the river
B. walking three—quarters of a mile every day
C. swimming in the lowa River before going to bed
D. walking about before he went to bed
Why do people think sleepwalking is a fantastic thing which has no explanation?
A. It is so common that it needn’t be recorded.
B. Scientists take no interest in it.
C. Most sleepwalkers do not ask for help for their problem.

How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue SO well?When we compare them
With adults learning a foreign language,we often find this interesting fact.A little child without
knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language.A grown—up person with fully developed mental powers,in most cases,may end up with a faulty and inexact corflllland.What accounts for tllis difference?
Despite other explanations。tlle real answer in my opinion hes partly in the child himself,partly in the behaviour of the people around him.In the first place,the time of learning the mother tongue in the most favorable of all,namely,the first years of hfe.A child hears it spoken from morning till night and,what is more important,always in its genuine form,with the right pronunciation,rightIntonation,right use of words and right structure.He drinksin all the words and expressions which come to him in a hsh.ever—bubbhng spring.There is no resistance:there is perfect assimilation.
Then the child has,as it were,private lessons all the year round,while an adult language—
student has each week a limited number of hours which he generally shares with others.The child
has another advantage:he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the
right kind of gestures and facial expressions.Here there is nothing unnatural,such as is often found
In language lessons in schools,when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him.Again and again,when his attempts at speech a聪successful,his desires are understood and fulfilled.
Finally,though a child’S“teachers”may not have been trained in language teaching,their re-
lations with him are always close and personal.ney take great pains to Inske their lessons easy.

Antarctica, with its seemingly endless icy beauty, is one place where one look is worth a thousand words. My own dream to see it came true last January when I joined the sixth exploration crew(考查队) of the China National Marine Bureau. We spent 10 days connecting flights to reach our goal, but finally arrived at the Great Wall Station on Antarctica on the eve of Chinese New Year.There are only two seasons in Antarctica: winter and summer. You get polar nights in winter and polar days in summer. Day is longer than night in summer, and the temperature often reaches below zero. Luckily, there are no snowstorms in summer, which makes it the best season to travel. What I imagined before starting for Antarctica was a world of ice, storms, endless cold and loneliness. When I stopped on Antarctica for the first time, however, I saw rich, energetic and beautiful scenery that was beyond anything I had imagined.
We only spent 11 days at the South Pole, but every minute was spent taking pictures and losing our heart to the wonderland. Beauty enveloped us as we watched the world around us. The mountains, oceans, ice, snow, sky, earth and people all seemed to have their own stories.
Rocks from Antarctica are considered valuable. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring one back. However, my heavy bags full of films are certainly worth that. It is in these pictures that the true Antarctica comes alive.
72. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Antarctica, my dream world. B. Beautiful Antarctica.
C. What I’ve got in Antarctica. D. My visit to Antarctica.
73. Why is summer the best season to go to Antarctica?
A. There are no snowstorms in summer.
B. Night is longer than day in summer.
C. The temperature often reaches below zero in summer.
D. In this season, Antarctica is world of ice, storms and loneliness.
74. What made the writer unexpected(意外) is that he saw_______.

75. The writer joined the sixth exploration team to _______.
A. make some studies of the weather and the animals
B. study the relationship between the weather and the animals
C. collect some information for a scientific study center
D. capture(捕获) the rich, energetic and beautiful scenery
Not all plants cooperate well with the farming machines. Take lettuce(莴苣)for example, seeds plants in the same field in the same time ripe at different times. The only way to tell a ripe head of lettuce is to look at it and feel it. And now there is a machine even to do that!
There is a special machine to test lettuce. When it moves over one that feels right, it sends a signal back to the picking machine which goes behind. The cutting and picking is done satisfactorily by this unit.
64.This passage mainly tells us something about .
A.the machines picking tomatoes B.automatic farming
C.the science of farming D.agriculture machines
65.After the bad tomatoes are picked out, .
A.the others are sent into a cart nearby

The largest television network in America is not ABC, CBS, or Fox. Nor is it one of the cable net—works such as CNN, which carries only news and news stories. It is not ESPN, the all-sports cable net-work, or even MTV, which is famous for its music videos. Rather it is PBS, Public Broadcasting System, a non-profit public broadcasting TV service. PBS has 349 member television stations in the U. S. and some member stations by cable in Canada.
PBS only attracts a minority of all TV viewers, about 2 percent. The industry leader, NBC, however, attracts 11 percent of viewers. But the growth of public television in the past two decades has been dramatic. This is especially noteworthy when one considers that public television stations must often survive on very limited budgets, on viewers’ donations, and on private foundations and some governmental funding.
The level of quality of PBS programs, whether in national and international news, entertainment, or education, is excellent. Almost a whole generation of children throughout the world is familiar with Sesame Street and the characters of The Muppet Show. PBS is especially well known for the quality of its many educational TV programs. Over 95 percent of all public television stations have tele-courses. These courses are accepted and supported by more than 1,800 colleges and universities throughout the US. Each year, over a quarter of a million students take courses this way.
59.According to this article, PBS received part of its funding from._______.
A. private organizations B. public schools
C. advertising agencies D. other television stations
60.What is PBS most famous for?
A. Cable services. B. Generous donations.
C. Educational programs. D. Live news broadcasts.
61.Which of the following is true about public television stations?
A. The majority of their viewers are minority people.
B. Ninety—five percent of their programs are tele—courses.
C. They are shrinking in number because they make no profits.
D. Their courses are accepted by many universities in America.
62.Which of the following has the highest percentage of viewers?
A ABC B. PBS C. NBC D. Fox
