大学英语B统考辅导_2021春_01Do 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 work, you may say that you’re hot. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic（有活力的）is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak（高峰）. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues（自言自语）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 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. Habit can help, maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle 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 and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start that saves your energy. Get up with a free yawn（哈欠） and stretch（伸展）. Sit on the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search 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.（2.0 分）1. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _______.A．he is a lazy personB．he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC．he is not sure when his energy is lowD．he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening（2.0 分）2. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A．unawareness of energy cyclesB．familiar monologuesC．a change in a family member’s energy cycleD．attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members（2.0 分）3. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _________.A．change his energy cycleB．overcome his lazinessC．get up earlier than usualD．go to bed earlier（2.0 分）4.

Which of the following statements is not true?A．Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energyB．Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of dayC．Habit helps one adapt to(适应) his own energy cycle.D．Children have energy cycles, too.
As people continue to grow and age, our body systems continue
to change. At a certain point in your life your body systems will begin to
weaken. Your strength may become weaker. It may become more difficult for you to
see and hear. The slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their
ability to bounce back from diseases and injury. In order to live longer, we
have always tried to slow or stop this change that leads us towards the end of
our lives.
Many factors decide your health. A good diet plays an important
role. The amount and type of exercise you get is another factor. Your living
condition is yet another. But scientists studying aging problem want to know:
why do people grow old? They hope that by studying the aging medical science
they may be able to make the length of life longer.
There is nothing to be
afraid of as old age comes. Many consider that the latter part of life to be the
best time for living. Physical activity may become less, but often you get
better understanding of yourself and the world.
What we consider old age now
may only be middle-aged some day soon. Who knows with so many advances in
medical science happening so quickly, life length may one day be measured in
centuries, rather than in years.（2.0 分）6. What should we do to live longer?
A．We should do more exercise.B．We should strengthen our body system.C．we should try our best to slow down or stop the danger of aging.D．we should keep our spirits high.（2.0 分）7. Why should people consider that the latter part of life is the best time for living?
A．Because their physical activities may become less.B．Because their physical activities may become more.C．Because they get better understanding of themselves and the world.D．Because they have come through the battle of life.（2.0 分）8. Which of the following statements is true?
A．The slow change of aging can help us recover from diseases soon.B．life length is measured in centuries.C．many people aren’t afraid of aging.D．Scientists have already known why people grow old.（2.0 分）9. Which factors decide health condition?
A．ExerciseB．Diet, exercise and living condition.C．Ability to recover from disease and injury.D．diet and living condition.（2.0 分）10.What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Life span.B．How to grow old.C．Health.D．Aging problem.
In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in
restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for
their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theatre,
then a barbecue restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation,
they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this
small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or
waitresses, and no tips.
Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was
another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable
uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation
of their food, and they insisted on their cooks’ sticking to their routine.
Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People
drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant
was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to
be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray
Kroc.
Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was
selling milkshake-mixing machine. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the
brothers’ fast-food restaurant and bought the right to franchise other copies of
their restaurant. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu,
the equipment and even their red and white buildings with the golden
arches.
Today McDonald’s is really a household name. Its names for its
sandwiches have come to mean hamburgers in the decades since the day Ray Kroc
watched people rush up to order hamburgers. In 1976, McDonald’s had over $1
billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible
success stories in modern American business history.（2.0 分）11.This passage is mainly about ____________.
A．the development of fast food servicesB．how McDonald’s became a billion-dollar businessC．the business careers of Mac and Dick McDonaldD．Ray Kroc’s business talent（2.0 分）12.Mac and Dick managed all of the following business except ___________.
A．a drive-inB．a theatreC．a cinemaD．a barbecue restaurant（2.0 分）13.We may infer from this passage that _____________.
A．Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy for they sold their idea to KrocB．the location the McDonalds chose was the only source of the great popularity of their drive-inC．forty years ago there were numerous fast-food restaurantsD．Ray Kroc was a good businessman（2.0 分）14.The passage suggests that ____________.
A．creativity is an important element of business successB．Ray Kroc was the closer partner of the McDonald brothersC．Mac and Dick McDonald became broken after they sold their ideas to KrocD．California is the best place to go into business（2.0 分）15.In the second sentence of the third paragraph, the word “unique” means ___________.

Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists
are born, not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and
sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no
ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental
arithmetic.
Before World War I, we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I
have nothing but the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my
toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles
and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the
dogs, the farm animals, the local bird and above all, the insects.
I am a
naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my
enthusiasm had led me into varied investigation. I love discussing my favorite
topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s
observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these
observations together in my curious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer
to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my
publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of
scientific research. But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of
the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and
essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist
requires not only self-discipline but also hard-training, determination and a
goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can
combine the two, there can be little doubt that you get the best of both worlds.（2.0 分）16.Which of the following is characteristic of the author’s childhood?
A．he suffered from serious loss of hearing.B．he didn’t get on well with his brothers and sisters.C．he showed strong interest in flowers and insects.D．he was good at reading at an early age.（2.0 分）17.The author fails to remember his relatives clearly in that _______.
A．he was too young thenB．he had a poor memoryC．he spent little time living with themD．he was absorbed in observing nature（2.0 分）18.It can be concluded that one essential quality required by a scientist is _______.
A．self-disciplineB．a powerful memoryC．being enthusiasticD．having a sharp eye（2.0 分）19.The author believes that he is ________.
A．a scientist as well as a naturalistB．not a naturalist but a scientistC．not a scientist but a naturalistD．neither a scientist nor a naturalist（2.0 分）20.It can be inferred that it is almost impossible to _______.
A．make someone become a naturalistB．make someone become a scientistC．tell the difference between science and natureD．take an interest in both science and nature

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 work, you may say that you’re hot. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic（有活力的）is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak（高峰）. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues（自言自语）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 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. Habit can help, maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle 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 and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start that saves your energy. Get up with a free yawn（哈欠） and stretch（伸展）. Sit on the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search 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.（2.0 分）1. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _______.A．he is a lazy personB．he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC．he is not sure when his energy is lowD．he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening（2.0 分）2. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A．unawareness of energy cyclesB．familiar monologuesC．a change in a family member’s energy cycleD．attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members（2.0 分）3. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _________.A．change his energy cycleB．overcome his lazinessC．get up earlier than usualD．go to bed earlier（2.0 分）4. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _________.A．help to keep your energy for the day workB．help you to control your temper early in the dayC．enable you to concentrate on your routine workD．keep your energy cycle under control all day（2.0 分）5. Which of the following statements is not true?A．Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energyB．Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of dayC．Habit helps one adapt to(适应) his own energy cycle.D．Children have energy cycles, too.
As people continue to grow and age, our body systems continue
to change. At a certain point in your life your body systems will begin to
weaken. Your strength may become weaker. It may become more difficult for you to
see and hear. The slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their
ability to bounce back from diseases and injury. In order to live longer, we
have always tried to slow or stop this change that leads us towards the end of
our lives.
Many factors decide your health. A good diet plays an important
role. The amount and type of exercise you get is another factor. Your living
condition is yet another. But scientists studying aging problem want to know:
why do people grow old? They hope that by studying the aging medical science
they may be able to make the length of life longer.
There is nothing to be
afraid of as old age comes. Many consider that the latter part of life to be the
best time for living. Physical activity may become less, but often you get
better understanding of yourself and the world.
What we consider old age now
may only be middle-aged some day soon. Who knows with so many advances in
medical science happening so quickly, life length may one day be measured in
centuries, rather than in years.（2.0 分）6. What should we do to live longer?
A．We should do more exercise.B．We should strengthen our body system.C．we should try our best to slow down or stop the danger of aging.D．we should keep our spirits high.（2.0 分）7. Why should people consider that the latter part of life is the best time for living?
A．Because their physical activities may become less.B．Because their physical activities may become more.C．Because they get better understanding of themselves and the world.D．Because they have come through the battle of life.（2.0 分）8. Which of the following statements is true?
A．The slow change of aging can help us recover from diseases soon.B．life length is measured in centuries.C．many people aren’t afraid of aging.D．Scientists have already known why people grow old.（2.0 分）9. Which factors decide health condition?
A．ExerciseB．Diet, exercise and living condition.C．Ability to recover from disease and injury.D．diet and living condition.（2.0 分）10.What is the main idea of the passage?

In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in
restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for
their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theatre,
then a barbecue restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation,
they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this
small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or
waitresses, and no tips.
Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was
another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable
uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation
of their food, and they insisted on their cooks’ sticking to their routine.
Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People
drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant
was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to
be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray
Kroc.
Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was
selling milkshake-mixing machine. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the
brothers’ fast-food restaurant and bought the right to franchise other copies of
their restaurant. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu,
the equipment and even their red and white buildings with the golden
arches.
Today McDonald’s is really a household name. Its names for its
sandwiches have come to mean hamburgers in the decades since the day Ray Kroc
watched people rush up to order hamburgers. In 1976, McDonald’s had over $1
billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible
success stories in modern American business history.（2.0 分）11.This passage is mainly about ____________.

A．creativity is an important element of business successB．Ray Kroc was the closer partner of the McDonald brothersC．Mac and Dick McDonald became broken after they sold their ideas to KrocD．California is the best place to go into business（2.0 分）15.In the second sentence of the third paragraph, the word “unique” means ___________.

Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists
are born, not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and
sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no
ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental
arithmetic.
Before World War I, we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I
have nothing but the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my
toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles
and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the
dogs, the farm animals, the local bird and above all, the insects.
I am a
naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my
enthusiasm had led me into varied investigation. I love discussing my favorite
topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s
observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these
observations together in my curious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer
to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my
publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of
scientific research. But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of
the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and
essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist
requires not only self-discipline but also hard-training, determination and a
goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can
combine the two, there can be little doubt that you get the best of both worlds.（2.0 分）16.Which of the following is characteristic of the author’s childhood?
