That’s all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see the strange man themselves.Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping.In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one. The only rest Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother’s having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? Nobody was sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.31. The main idea of this passage is that .A. large numbers of people do not need sleepB. a person was found who actually didn’t need any sleepC. everyone needs some sleep to stay aliveD. people can live longer by trying not to sleep32. The doctor came to visit Herpin, expecting .A. to cure him of his sleeplessnessB. to find that his sleeplessness was not really trueC. to find out why some old people didn’t need any sleepD. to find a way to free people from the need of sleeping33. One reason that might explain Herpin’s sleeplessness was .A. his mother’s injury before he was bornB. that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habitC. that he hadn’t got a bedD. his magnificent physical condition34. Herpin’s condition could be regarded as .A. a common oneB. curableC. very healthyD. a rare onePassage BOn April 26, 1986, I was five years old. I can’t remember this day very well, but it turned out to be a disaster not only for our family, but also for thousands of people from many countries. It was a really nice, warm and sunny day.I was outside with my elder brother and my little 13-day-old sister, who was sleeping in a pram under a tree.Suddenly dark clouds appeared in the sky and a strong wind started to blow. Our mum told us to come into the house. While we were gathering our toys, she was trying to take the pram. The first drop of “rain” fell on my sister. It was only later that we found out the rain was radioactive water.At first we were not told anything about the accident. The government “didn’t want people to panic.”But they were afraid that the second reactor(反应堆)would blow up. Trains were made ready to send people away from our city.Since then the word “radiation”has come into and changed our life. Chernobyl deprived(剥夺) me of many joys of my childhood. Life went on as usual. I grew up and went to school. I studied very well. In 1998, I graduated from high school with honors and dreamed of entering a university. And here again Chernobyl interfered. Iwas diagnosed with a brain tumor(脑瘤). My parents came back from Minsk, where my sister had just undergone a brain tumor operation. I didn’t know how to tell mum that we had to go back to Minsk again for another operation straight after my sister’s. This was how Chernobyl poisoned my youth.35. People didn’t know the accident of Chernobyl at first, because .A. the government wanted to keep it secretB. the weather was too badC. the train took them awayD. nobody knew the truth36. Who got the same terrible illness as I did after the accident?A. My elder brother.B. My little sister.C. My mother.D. My father.37. What does “blow up” in the fourth paragraph mean?A. Fly.B. Close.C. Explode.D. Move.38. Why did the parents have to go back to Minsk again?A. Because my sister would have another operation.B. Because I would have an operation.C. Because Minsk was far from danger.D. Because I entered a university there.Passage COn December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was planning to take the bus home from work as usual. She had just finished working as a seamstress(女裁缝) at a department store and then walked to the bus stop. As she first boarded the bus, she noticed that the driver was the same man who had sent her off his bus years earlier because she would not go around to the back door after she was already on the bus. She decided to get on anyway and sit down, but she did not sit at the very front of the bus. She took a seat next to a black man in the first row that “colored” people were allowed to sit in. At the next stop, some white people got on the bus. After they filled up the white seats, one man was left standing. When the driver noticed him standing, he told Rosa and the others in her row to let the man have a seat. Three people stood up, but the driver saw that Rosa was still sitting there. He asked if she would stand up, and she refused. Then he told her he would have her arrested, and Rosa told him he could do that.A few minutes later, two policemen got on the bus. When the driver told them that Rosa would not stand up, the policemen walked over to her and asked her why she wouldn’t get up. Rosa said she didn’t think she should stand up and asked, “Why do you push us around?” One policeman answered,“I don’t know, but the law is the law, and you are under arrest.”As soon as he said that, Rosa stood up. Then one of the policemen picked up her purse while the other picked up her shopping bag, and the three left the bus. Finally, they took Rosa to the police station in the car.Rosa’s action that day started a citywide boycott(联合抵制) of the bus system by Blacks that lasted more than a year. This later resulted in the decision against segregation on city buses in the US.39. The driver told Rosa that he would have her arrested because .A. she refused to give her seat to a white manB. she was sitting in the row for white peopleC. she was not allowed to have a seat on the busD. she was black40. Where was Rosa Parks taken finally?A. The bus stop.B. The police station.C. The department store.D. The next bus.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）四、英汉互译（15*2=30分）41.

But news about one person actually doing harm to another changes our estimate of other people for the worse."函授站名：年级 09 机械.法学层次升学号学生姓名成绩In an early experiment in 1968, Dr. Hornstein and his associates, who had been dropping wallets (钱包) for two years to test the honesty of people, discovered that on June 4, 1968, not one wallet was returned."That was the night Robert F. Kennedy was shot," he recalled. "Strangers suddenly seemed dangerous, and nobody wanted to return a lost wallet to a stranger."But good news on the other hand, lifts us up," he stressed, citing the date of July 4, 1976, America's Bicentennial (两百年的) celebration. "On that day, we all felt safe and good. Being American was the thing. We all felt as if we all belonged together."Recent tests support these conclusions. In one experiment, 60 subjects were exposed to good news, bad news or music. Then they were told to play a game with a non-existent person supposedly in another room. It was a game of choice that emphasized cooperation or competition.After hearing good news, the overwhelming majority, 91 percent, played cooperatively. But after hearing bad news, competitive responses were over three times as high –up to 28 percent, from 9 percent."If we watch television and see a lot of blood," said Dr. Hornstein, "we're probably assuming that the world is a dirtier place than we assumed before we saw that TV violence. And we'll deal with the next individual we come upon as if he is part of that grim (冷酷的) picture of humanity. After the good news, it's the reverse."26. According to the findings of researchers at Columbia University, when people hear good news, they feel__________.A）happier B）more kindly toward othersC）safer than they really are D）more competitive27. Dr. Harvey Hornstein found that when people hear news about one person actually doing harm to another, they tend to ________.A）regard other people as worse than they really areB）treat total strangers as suspects of cruel crimesC）become hostile towards neighbors and friendsD）think about the common problems facing mankind28. What did Dr. Harvey Hornstein and his associates discover on the night of June 4, 1968?A）Robert F. Kennedy was shot.B）Their wallets were lost.C）People in America suddenly became dishonest.D）Nobody returned the wallets they dropped.29. We can infer from the passage that on July 4, 1976, most probably ________.A）people drank and sang and danced B）lost wallets were returned to their ownersC）everybody wanted to be American D）even criminals were friendly to others30. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A）violence on TV leads to more violence on the streetsB）broadcasters should emphasize good news rather than bad newsC）the world is a dirtier place than we assume it to beD）people are more competitive when they are faced with challengesPassage TwoLaura walked towards the man. "It is terribly cold," she said."Colder than ever," the man said. "Now tell me what the hell you want." He stared at Laura for a few seconds, and then grinned. "Maybe you'd like to come inside and warm up.""No. No, I don't want to come in." She took a deep breath. "I just wanted to know if you're interested in selling your dog.""That worthless mutt?" The man pointed to a dog in the yard and laughed for a few seconds, then suddenly stopped. "I was just joking about the worthless part. He's a pretty good dog. Yeah, I might be interested.""Well, he's the kind of dog I'm looking for, and it doesn't look to me like you're too fond of him. I mean he's tied up outside. I don't see any food or water.""You just wait a minute. I take good care of that dog. The guy I got him from said he was a trained guard dog. Trouble is the stupid thing doesn't even bark when strangers come around. But then I guess that wouldn't matter to you. You're probably just looking for a pet, huh?""Yeah, well here's your chance to get rid of him. I'll give you twenty dollars."He snorted (哼着鼻子说). "You expect me to sell a purebred guard dog for twenty dollars? Fifty dollars. That's my price. You bring me fifty dollars, honey, and you got yourself a dog." The man smiled. "Sure you don't want to come in?"Laura shook her head. "I'll be back with the money." Breakfast forgotten, she searched for and found a cash machine four blocks away. I can't afford this, she thought as she punched the numbers into the machine. The dog will need a vet (兽医) and where am I going to get the money for that? Her fears faded (消退) as she pictured the dog, curled up, not outside on the cold, hard ground, but in front of a glowing fireplace. Blue ceramic bowls filled with food and water sat in the corner of the kitchen, and she saw him, head held high, matching her stride (大步) on their daily walk.With the money in her purse she hurried back to the man's house.31. Why did Laura walk up to the man?A）To ask him where she could buy a pet. B）To see if she could buy his dog.C）To give him a morning greeting. D）To ask him to let her in and warm up.32. For what purpose had the man bought the dog?A）To protect his home. B）To get rid of his loneliness.C）To breed pet dogs. D）To make money.函授站名：年级 09 机械.法学层次升学号学生姓名成绩33. When Laura left home in the morning, she was most probably going ________.A）to take a walk B）to get her breakfastC）to get some cash D）to buy the man's dog34.

How come Laura's worry about money faded?A）The dog will lead a happy life under her good care.B）She will soon get a good job and earn money to pay the vet.C）She will have a guard dog beside her as she takes a walk.D）She's got the money in her purse to pay for the pet she desired.Passage ThreeAlthough Thomas Jefferson did not begin the effort of designing the University of Virginia until late in his life, the education of the common man had occupied his thoughts for decades. He believed ignorance (无知) to be the enemy of freedom, and he wanted to correct what he considered to be the weaknesses of educational institutions (机构) modeled on European settings. He imagined that an "academical village" around a tree-lined lawn would provide an ideal setting in which to pursue higher education. The center of such a village would be a Temple of Knowledge that would house the university library. When Virginia decided to set up a state university in 1818, the retired U.S. President finally was able to devote his talent, time, and energy to creating this new kind of educational institution. By the time he was finished with his design, Jefferson had invented an entirely new American setting for higher education: the college campus. In 1812, Jefferson chose to begin building his "academical village," the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, VA, far away from the city center. He intended this spot to promote learning because it was natural and unspoiled, and far from anything that could distract or harm the students. The University consists of two rows of houses, five on each side, leading to a main building. This main building, the Rotunda, became the most important part of the University, because it contained the library. By focusing his entire institution on the library, instead of around the church, Jefferson revolutionized American university architecture. Jefferson's aim was to create a new institutional form for his ideal educational system, a system he thought should give every citizen the information he needs for carrying out his daily business. This new approach to citizenship and education demanded a new type of university, one where students and professors could coexist and share ideas. He attempted to create this environment by combining the professors' houses and students' classrooms, and linking all the buildings with covered walkways so intellectual exchanges between departments could go on smoothly. Jefferson had also recognized the importance of the students' whole life, and given much thought and planning to the students' dining, living, and exercise facilities (设施).36. Jefferson devoted much of his thought to the education of the common man because he believed _______.A）everyone who loved freedom hated ignoranceB）a country could not be strong without educationC）an uneducated man could not gain full freedomD）European educational institutions did not suit America37. According to Jefferson, the center of a university should be _______.A）the church B）the libraryC）the lawn D）the classrooms38. Jefferson chose to locate the University of Virginia far away from the city center because _____. A）land in the city center could not be found B）there was a tree-lined lawn thereC）this was a European tradition D）there was no distraction for the students39. In Jefferson's view, an ideal educational system should ________.A）be one under which every citizen enjoys equal opportunityB）give everyone the information he needs for conducting his businessC）ensure that everyone has a chance to enter an institution of higher learningD）provide students with a natural and unspoiled setting for learning40. What was made easy by the revolutionized American campus?A）Students' learning.B）Intellectual exchange.C）Professors' teaching.D）Both students' and professors' life.Part III CloseWhy don’t birds get lost on their long flights? Experiments showed that birds depend 41 the sun to guide them during daylight 42 . But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their 43 flights.One such bird, a warbler, had 44 its lifetime in a cage and never has flown under a 45 sky. Yet it showed a great ability to use stars for guidance. When the birds cage 46 under an artificial star-filled sky, the bird tried to fly in the same direction 47 that taken by its outdoor cousins.Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance, Stare are their principal means of navigation (导航) 48 night. What do they do when the 49 are hidden by clouds? Clearly, they found their way by mountains, coast lines and rivers. But when it is too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, 50 to get their direction.函授站名：年级 09 机械.法学层次升学号学生姓名成绩41. A. to B. at C. on D. in42. A. moments B. hours C. seasons D. weeks43.
