Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
Thomas Alva Edison is known as one of the greatest inventors of his time. He was awarded more patents(专利权) on inventions than any other Americans. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him.
One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout(停电). All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets and factories. Perhaps this suggestion plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A blackout was out of the question.
On the day of Edison's funeral(葬礼), many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen's fingertips.
Which of the following statement is true according to the first paragraph？
A．Edison received the first American patent.
B．Edison got the most patents in America at that time.
C．Edison was the only American inventor.
D．Edison was the first American inventor.
听力原文： Although the first computers were produced for use in government and industry, they have become common in other areas during the past 25 years.
In business, computers perform. many functions. They are used to perform. the data processing operations of recording, classifying, sorting, computing, storing, reporting, reproducing and communicating information. They have the advantage of being able to complete these processes at very high speeds. Computers also can process data in a size invisible in the human eye, making storage of materials a simpler task than it once was.
Universities utilize computers in several ways. Just as business stores statistical data, universities store statistics about students using computers. Registration also has been aided by the computer. By putting their programs of studies on the computer, students can find out immediately which classes are open for additional students and which already have the number that are allowed to register. Many professors use computers in their research, and experiments have been done on teaching by means of the computer.
Computers have also been affecting our daily lives more and more. Most large departments and grocery stores now have computerized cash registers. Almost everyone is familiar with the computerized hilling that is done on the large expressways. It is even possible today to buy your own computer and use it in your home.
(30)
A．In our daily life.
B．In business and universities.
C．In government and industry.
D．Both A and B.

Sleep Necessary for Memories
Burning the midnight oil before an exam or interview does harm to the performance according to a recent research which found that sleep is necessary for memories to be taken back into the brain.A good night's sleep within 30 hours of trying to remember a new task is a required condition of having good recall in the weeks ahead。scientists}lave found.
The research,published in the December issue of Nature Neuroscience.Showed that it was the act of sleep.rather than the simple passage of time,that was critical for long-term memory formation.
"We think that getting that first night's sleep starts the process of minify consolidation(巩固),"said Robert Stick gold,a sleep researcher at Hayward Medical! School who conducted the latest study.
"It seems that memories normally wash out of the brain unless some process nails them down.My suspicion is that sleep is one of those things that does the nailing down,Professor Stick gold said.
With about one in five people claiming that they are so chronically short of sleep that it affects their daily activities.the latest work emphasizes the less well-understood side effect—serious memory impairment(损害).
Volunteers in an experiment found it easier to remember a memory task if they were allowed to sleep that night.But for those kept awake ,no amount of subsequent sleep made up for the initial loss.
Professor Stick gold's team trained 24 people to identify the direction of three diagonal(斜线形的)bars flashed for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal(水平的)stripes.
Half of the subjects were kept awake that night。while the others slept.Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers.
Those who slept the first night were significantly and consistently better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement despite enjoying two nights of catch.up sleep.
第 31 题 The research published in Nature Neuroscience showed that what was essential to the formation of long—term memory was（）
A．intelligence.
B．time.
C．food.
D．sleep.
The first eight lanterns erected on the West Coast in the 1850's featured the same basic New England design: a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England and elsewhere, though, lighthouses reflected a variety of architectural styles. Since most stations in the Northeast were 'set up on rocky eminences (高处), enormous towers were not the rule. Some of them were made of stone and brick, others of wood or metal. Some of them stood on pilings or stilts; others were fastened to rock with iron rods. Farther south, from Maryland through the Florida Keys, the coast is low and sandy. It was often necessary to build tall towers there--massive structures like the majestic lighthouse in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, which was lit in 1870. At 190 feet, it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.
Notwithstanding differences in construction appearence, most lighthouses in America shared several features: a light, living quarters, and sometimes a bell (or later a foghorn). They also had quarters, and something else in common: a keeper and usually the keeper's family. The keeper's essential task was trimming the lantern wick (灯芯) in order to maintain a steady, bright flame. The earliest keepers came from every industry--they were seamen, farmers, mechanics, rough mill hands--and appointments were often handed out by local customs commissioners as political plums. After the administration of lighthouse was taken over in 1852 by the United States Lighthouse Board, and agency of the Treasury Department, the keeper corps gradually became highly professional.=
Which is the best title for the passage？
A．The Lighthouse on Little Brewster Island.
B．The Life of a Lighthouse Keeper.
C．Early Lighthouses in the United States.
D．The Modern Profession of Lighthouse-Keeping.
