Passage One

Animals have different ways of protecting themselves against wintertime weather. Some animals grow heavy coats of fur or feathers, while others dig into the ground to find a warm wintertime home.

Some animals spend the winter in a deep sleep because by going to sleep they avoid the time of the year when food is scarce and the temperatures are low. Their sleep is known as hibernation.

There is much about hibernation that puzzles scientists. For example, they are wondering how hibernation came into being. Some scientists have explored the possibility that animals release a chemical that starts them hibernating.

One thing that scientists are certain about is that animals hibernate only when it is cold. Hibernation is a seasonal practice.

Some animals that fall into a wintertime sleep are not true hibernators because they spend only a part of the cold season asleep. Bears, for example, can easily be awakened from their winter nap. They are not true hibernators.

Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a particular animal is a true hibernator. For example, some mice hibernate, but others do not. The same is true of bats. Some of them hibernate. Others do not.

36. Hibernation is a seasonal practice. This means it ______.

A. takes place only during a particular season

B. occurs only during the night

C. is a daily practice

D. only happens when a species becomes over-populated

正确答案：A

to the acquisition of Papier Presse. (15 marks)

正确答案：
(c) From the information given in the scenario, DPP will face significant problems if it chooses to develop a greenfield site. The
bureaucratic planning procedures adopted by the host government can add considerable time to get an efficient plant up and
running. In some ways, such governments are in a dilemma, anxious to secure foreign direct investment, but at the same
time protect inefficient domestic manufacturers. Certainly, DPP in its own risk assessment would need to take political risk
into account. In assessing the risks of a greenfield site, Ken could use Porter’s ‘diamond’ to good effect. Factor conditions
might be seen as quite favourable, with an educated, trained, albeit low productivity, labour force. However, the lack of
demanding tough global customers, a weak and inefficient domestic industry to supply the new venture and competitors who
have been highly protected mean that DPP will have to battle to create a supportive and sustaining environment. Financial
exposure may be increased through currency risk.
Clearly, the fresh start will allow integrated information systems to be developed and the latest technology to be used.
However, the new capacity will have a significant impact on DPP’s existing plants. The extent to which expatriate
management is used is clearly an issue. The host government is likely to require some commitment to the training of local
management and the degree of autonomy given to the new plant may well be an issue. Cultural issues and sensitivities will
be significant – often shop floor workers and managers will be used to high levels of absenteeism being tolerated in
government owned and controlled firms. Also the issue of involvement and participation could be an issue – there may be a
marked reluctance on the shop floor to contribute ideas towards raising productivity and quality. DPP is part of a group that
has experience of operating abroad and there is a real need to access information on key problems in greenfield operations.
In many ways the move to a greenfield site links the macro environmental analysis generated by a SLEPT or PEST to five
forces industry analysis with its focus on customers, competitors and suppliers. Certainly, creating an integrated value chain
with DPP’s existing business will be a real challenge to the management. It also adds capacity to a European industry where
there is already a problem. Choosing between the two options to achieve the strategic goal of a lower cost base can be doneusing the tests of suitability, acceptability and feasibility. The decision will not be an easy one.

本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。空格后内容是“如果这样的话，你可以起床看电视或在房子周围做些运动，一直到你有睡意”，因此这里的内容应是不服用安眠药后的不适应感。因此C最符合此内容。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。前面说到前一晚由于没有服安眠药没有睡好，因此这里应是“第二天晚上你要准备早睡一个小时”。因此D与此内容最符合。

第5题：

Passage 2
For centuries in Spain and Latin America, heading home for lunch and a snooze with the familywas some thing like a national right, but with global capitalism standardizing work hours, this idyllichabit is fast becoming an endangered pleasure. Ironically, all this is happening just as researchers arebeginning to note the health benefits of the afternoon nap.
According to a nationwide survey, less than 25 percent of Spaniards still enjoy siestas. And likeSpain, much of Latin America has adopted Americanized work schedules, too, with shortened lunchtimes and more rigid work hours. Last year the Mexican government passed a law limiting lunchbreaks to one hour and requiring its employees to work their eight-hour shift between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Before the mandate, workers would break up the shift--going home midday for a long break withthe family and returning to work until about 9 or 10 p.m. The idea of siesta is changing in Greece,Italy and Portugal, too, as they rush to join their more "industrious" counterparts in the globalmarket.
Most Americans I know covet sleep, but the idea of taking a nap mid-afternoon equates withlaziness, un employment and general sneakiness. Yet according to a National Sleep Survey poll,65percent of adults do not get enough sleep. Numerous scientific studies document the benefits of naptaking, including one 1997 study on the deleterious effects of sleep deprivation in the journal Inter-nal Medicine. The researchers found that fatigue harms not only marital and social relations butworker productivity.
According to Mark Rosekind, a former NASA scientist and founder of Solutions in Cupertino,Calif., which educates businesses about the advantages of sanctioning naps, we′ re biologically pro-grammed to get sleepy between 3 and 5 p.m. and 3 and 5 a.m. Our internal timekeeper--called thecircadian clock--operates on a 24-hour rotation and every 12 hours there′s a dip. In accordancewith these natural sleep rhythms, Rosekind recommends that naps be either for 40 minutes or for twohours. Latin American countries, asserts Rosekind, have had it right all along. They′ ve been in syncwith their clocks; we haven′t.
Since most of the world is sleep-deprived, getting well under the recommended eight hours anight (adults get an average of 6.5 hours nightly), we usually operate on a kind of idle midday. Napsare even more useful now that most of us forfeit sleep because of insane work schedules, longercommute times and stress, In a study published last April, Brazilian medical researchers noted thatblood pressure and arterial blood pressure dropped during a siesta.
This text is mainly about __________.

A.the health benefits of afternoon naps

B.the negative effects of sleep-deprivation on health and worker productivity

C.the importance of the siesta tradition in Spain and Latin America

D.the siesta tradition and its health benefits

答案：D

解析：

主旨题。本题考查对全文中心思想的理解。文章内容不但涉及了午睡的种种好处，而且还讲述了有关午睡的历史和传统．因此能概括这两方面的内容只有D。A项只涉及了文章的一个细节“healthbenifits(对健康的好处)”，更重要的是afternoon nap的用词不准确，文章通篇讲的是“睡午觉”．行文中不断出现的关键词有snooze，siestas，midday break，mid-afternoon nap而非afternoon nap，故可排除。B、C两项分别对应文章第三、四段的内容。不能概括全文。

第二篇

Not all sleep is the same every night.We experience some deep,quiet sleep and some active sleep,which is when dreams happen.You might think sleepwalking would happen during active sleep,but a person isn't physically active during active sleep.Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the stage called slow-wave or deep sleep.
Not all sleepwalkers actually walk.Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they're awake when in fact,they're asleep! Most,however,do get up and move around for a few seconds or for as long as haff an hour.
Sleepwalkers' eyes are open,but they don't see the same way they do when they're awake and often think they're in different rooms of the house or different places altogether. Sleepwalkers tend to go back to bed on their own and they won't remember it in the morning.
Researchers estimate that about 15% of kids sleepwalk regularly. Sleepwalking may run in families（在家族中世代相传）and sometimes occurs when a person is sick, has a fever, is not getting enough sleep,or is stressed（紧张）.
If sleepwalking occurs frequently,every night or so,it's a good idea for your mom or dad to take you to see your doctor. But occasional sleepwalking generally isn't something to worry about,although it may look funny or even scary（骇人的）for the people who see a sleepwalker in action.
Although occasional sleepwalking isn't a big deal,it's important,of course,that the person is kept safe. Precautions（预防措施）should be taken so the person is less likely to fall down, run into something,or walk out the front door while sleepwalking.

When does sleepwalking usually occur?
A:During active sleep.
B:During deep sleep.
C:In the daytime.
D:In the early morning.

答案：B

解析：

答案相关在第一段最后一句：" Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the stage called slow-wave or deep sleep.” 因此选择B。
答案相关句在第二段最后一句：" Most , however , do get up and move around for a few seconds or for as long as half an hour.”因此选择C。
答案相关句在第三段最后一句：" Sleepwalkers tend to go back to bed on their own..."。因此选择D。
答案相关句在第五段第一句：" If sleepwalking occurs frequently , every night or so , it's a good idea for your mom or dad to take you to see your doctor.”因此选C。
最后一段中提到："...it's important , of course , that the person is kept safe.Precautions（预防措施）should be taken so the person is less likely to fall down , run into something , or walk out the front door while sleepwalking.”因此选择A。
