There is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers. People have been said to climb on roofs, solve maths problems, write music, walk through w

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.”

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．
60．’rhe main idea of the passage is——．
A．to tell why the native language is learnt SO well by children
B．to teach children to learn their lllothei"language we
C．to show that children’S teacher should take great p8ins to make 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_______.
A. the only two seasons there: winter and summer
B. the world of ice, storms ,endless cold and loneliness
C. the rich, energetic and beautiful scenery
D. the Great Wall Station and many rocks there
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

Can hard work be replaced by machines in agriculture? Yes, man is trying out automatic (自动化) farming. It is fun to watch a machine picking tomatoes. The strange machine sails like a ship across a sea of plants. In its front is a hole. As the machine moves forward, tomato plants are pulled into the hole. The tomatoes are gathered while the rest of the plants are thrown back onto the fields. Twelve workers sit on top of the machine. They rapidly pick out the bad fruit from the tomatoes. A red stream of ripe tomatoes is being sent into a cart that is pulled alongside the machine. One driver and twelve workers can pick in an hour ten tons of a new kind of tomato. Without the invention, it would take 60 men to do the job.
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 pick

ing tomatoes      B．automatic farming
