Energy Cycle
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness,but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're“hot”.That's true .The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak .For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues as:“Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit to it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but you must stay up late anyway .Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy .Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before .Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

If a person finds getting up early a problem,most probably______.
A: he is a lazy person
B: he refuses to follow his own cycle
C: he is not sure when his energy is low
D: he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
参考答案和解析
答案:D
解析:
根据第一段可以看出,早晨起不来与个人每天的能量周期有关。根据文章第二段中约翰自言自语以及紧接着的解释“Get up , John ! You'll be late for work again ! ” The explanation… temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.可推断出答案。


答案的线索在第二段最后一句话“Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.”也就是说,如果丈夫和妻子能明白不同的能量周期是怎么回事,家里每个人有什么样的能量周期,很多家庭争吵就不会发生。所以正确答案是A。


“如果一个人想在早上能量低潮时更有效地工作,那么他该怎么办?”根据这两句话“If your energy is low in the morning but you have…but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.”可以断定正确答案应该是C。


“建议你早上起床时打个呵欠,伸伸懒腰,因为它们会_______”首先应理解文章最后一段的第一句话“get off to a slow start which saves your energy”,还要理解该句后面的三句话,它们是保存能量的具体方法。“Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch”当然是为了保存能量。所以正确答案是A。


选项B说Dr. Kleitman解释了为什么人们在一天里的不同时刻会有不同的能量高峰。而文章第二段指出没有人发现为什么会有不同的能量周期“For some people the peak comes during morning…No one has discovered why this is so.”两者不符,所以正确答案是B。

Fermi Problem
On a Monday morning in July,the world's first atom bomb exploded in New Mexico desert. Forty seconds later,the shock waves reached the base camp where the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi and his team stood.After a mental calculation,Fermi announced to his team that the bomb's energy had equated 10,000 tons of TNT. The bomb team was impressed,but not sur-prised.Fermi's genius was known throughout the scientific world.In 1938 he had won a Nobel Prize.Four years later he produced the first nuclear chain reaction,leading us into the nuclear age .Since Fermi's death in 1954,no physicist has been at once a master experimentalist(实验室)and a leading theoretician(理论学家).
Like all virtuosos(大师),Fermi had a distinctive style. He preferred the most direct route to an answer. He was very good at dividing difficult problems into small,manageable bits talent we all can use in our daily lives.
To develop this talent in his students,Fermi would suggest a type of question now known as a Fermi problem.Upon first hearing one of these,you haven't the remotest notion of the answer, and you feel certain that too little information had been given to solve it. Yet when the problem is broken into sub-problems,each answerable without the help of experts or books,you can come close to the exact solution.
Suppose you want to determine earth's circumference without looking it up.Everyone knows that New York and Los Angeles are about 3,000 miles apart and that the time difference between them is three hours.Three hours is one-eighth of a day,and a day is the time it takes the planet to complete one rotation(旋转),so its circumference must be eight times 3 ,000 or 24,000 mi-les .This answer differs from the true value,24,902 .45 miles,by less than four percent.
Ultimately the value of dealing with everyday problems the way Fermi did lies in the rewards of making independent discoveries and inventions.It doesn't matter whether the discovery is as important as determining the power of an atom or as small as measuring the distance between New York and Los Angeles.Looking up the answer,or letting someone else find it,deprives you of the pleasure and pride that accompany creativity,and deprives you of an experience that builds up self-confidence.Thus,approaching personal dilemmas as Fermi problems can become a habit that enriches your life.

Dividing a big problem into small problems is a talent Fermi had and a talent that has practi- cal value in life.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned

答案:A
解析:
答案的依据是第一段第三句话:“ After a mental calculation , Fermi announced to hiteam that the bomb's energy had equated 10,000 tons of TNT. The bomb team was impressed , but not surprised. ” Fermi在做了一番心算以后,得出了该原子弹具有相当于 10,000吨TNT的爆炸力。他的话给队员们留下了深刻的印象。很显然给队员们留下深刻印象是因为他能在脑海里算出原子弹的爆炸力。因此题干叙述正确。


文章第一段中提到:“ In 1938 he had won a Nobel Prize. Four years later he produced the first nuclear chain reaction… ” Fermi在1938年获诺贝尔奖,四年以后才成功地实现了核连锁反应。所以题干的说法是错误的。


答案的依据是第二段的第三句:“ He was very good at dividing difficult problems into small , manageable bits talent we all can use in our daily lives.”题干只不过是换了一种表达方式。


答案的依据是第三段的内容。第一句中的his talent指第二段提到的将难以解决的问题分解成几个容易处理的小问题。第三段对这种解决问题的方法又进一步作了描写。


第四段是为第二段和第三段的内容提供实际例子,即Fermi problem的实际运用,并不是Fermi在解决地球周长这个问题。由此可见,题干的说法是错误的。


最后段是全篇的结论,强调了Fermi问题的价值“Ultimately the value of dealing with everyday problems the way Fermi did lies in the rewards of making independent discoveries and inventions”。


文章根本没有提到他发明了一台能精确计量炸弹能量的仪器。

Parkinson's Disease

1 Parkinson's disease affects the way you move.It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve
cells in the brain. Normally , these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine(多巴胺). Dopa-
mine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement.It lets your muscles move smoothly and
do what you want them to do.When you have Parkinson's,these nerve cells break down.Then you no longer
have enough dopamine,and you have trouble moving the way you want to.
2 No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down.But scientists are doing a lot of re-
search to look for the answer. They are studying many possible causes,including aging and poisons in the en-
vironment.Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson's disease in some people.But so far,there is not enough
proof to show that it is always inherited.
3 Tremor(颤抖)may be the first symptom you notice.It is one of the most common signs of the
disease,although not everyone has it.Tremor often starts in just one arm or leg or only on one side of the
body.It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm or leg. It may get better when you
move the limb or when you are asleep.In time,Parkinson's affects muscles all through your body,so it can
lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation(便秘).In the later stages of the disease , a person
with Parkinson's may have a fixed or blank expression,trouble speaking,and other problems.Some people
also have a decrease in mental skills.
4 At this time,there is no cure for Parkinson's disease.But there are several types of medicines that
can control the symptoms and make the disease easier to live with.You may not even need treatment if your
symptoms are mild.Your doctor may wait to prescribe medicines until your symptoms start to get in the way of
your daily life.Your doctor will adjust your medicines as your symptoms get worse.You may need to take
several medicines to get the best results.

A person with Parkinson's has to learn to live with the disease,__________.
A:what affects muscles all through your body
B:if there isn't enough dopamine in your body
C:which cannot be cured yet
D:which may be the first symptom you notice
E:if you have a fixed or blank expression
F: what causes Parkinson's disease

答案:C
解析:
即帕金森综合征的定义。本段的中心意思是什么是帕金森综合征。
即导致疾病产生的可能的原因。本段主要探讨的是这种疾病发生的原因。
即疾病的典型症状。本段讲的是帕金森综合征的一些典型的病症,如颤抖、吞咽困难和 便秘等等。
即通常的治疗方法。从本段可知,虽然帕金森综合征还不能治愈,但是可以通过几种 药物控制患者的病症。
即如果没有足够的多巴胺你会发现自己难以随心所欲地行动。根据第一段最后一句 "Then you no longer have enough dopamine,and you have trouble moving the way you want to.”可 知,本题应选B。
即科学家做了很多研究试图发现导致帕金森综合征的原因。从第二段第一句“No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down.”可知,本题应选F。
即帕金森病最常见的病症是颤抖,它可能是你发现的第一个症状。从第三段第一句 " Tremor (颤抖)may be the first symptom you notice.”可知,本题应选D。
患帕金森综合征的人必须学会带着这种病生活,因为现在人们还无法治愈它,从最后 一段第一句“At this time , there is no cure for Parkinson's disease.”可知,本题应选C。

Energy Cycle

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you are"hot".That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak.For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar words as:"Get up, John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is he is at his tempera-ture-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better.

Energy cycle may be inherited from your parents.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案:C
解析:
虽然文章第一段提到早上起不来床会被称为懒,但是本文强调的是Kleitman博士所提出的新观点,就是这可能是由于每个人不同的能量周期决定的。因此不是所有早上起不来的人都是懒,所以这句话是错误的。
根据文章第二段和第三段我们知道能量峰值在晚上的人早上精神会不好,能量峰值在早上的人则相反,因此本句是正确的。
文章第二段最后一句讲到如果夫妻双方都能意识到能量周期的不同,那么“much family quarrelling ends”,即少了许多争吵,也就是说很多争吵是因为没有意识到能量周期的问题,因此本句表述是错误的。
第二段三句讲“The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak",即精力最充沛的时候体温最高,但这并不意味着精力和体温是一码事,例如人生病的时候会发烧但精神会很差。本句的表述是错误的。
文章第二段告诉我们“No one has discovered why this is so”,即没人知道为什么每个人的能量周期不同,因此我们也不知道是不是有遗传因素,所以选择选项C。
第三段第一句告诉我们虽然可以让自己的生活适应能量周期,但是“you can't change your energy cycle",因此本句表述是错误的,应当选择选项B。
文章第三段最后两句建议早上处于低潮的人们要比平时起得早,这样才能工作得更好。因此本句的陈述是正确的。

(17)

A.She hasn't talked with the new manager yet.

B.The new manager was not in the office.

C.She has been at home.

D.She didn't want to talk with the new manager.


正确答案:A
解析:语意推断题。对话中男士问女士是否同新来的经理谈过话,他猜想经理有什么重要的事情找她。女士回答:这两天一直出城在外,直到今天早上才回来(I have been out of town for 2 days. And until this morning I come back)。由此可知她还没有与新来的经理谈过话。故答案为A。
