Columbus could 49 have found America if he had not been 50 . James Walt would not have made the steam engine 51 his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid. All the 52 in human history have been made as a 53 of curiosity, 54 the clever curiosity is never about unimportant things which have 55 or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.

What is language for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words―the longer the lists，the better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly. "But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong bees right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo（做过头）it. They should put munication first.

A. express oneself　　 　B. practice grammar rules

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time ? about eight hours after you wake up ? your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional , people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.
Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap ? even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
67. Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon aording to the text?
A. Their body temperature bees lower.
B. They sleep too little at night.
C. They eat too much for lunch.
D. The weather bees a lot warmer.
68. If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?
A. About 12:30 pm. B. About 2:30 pm
C. About 1:30 pm. D. About 3:30 pm
69. What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?
A. You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.
B. You can sleep as long as you like so that you will not feel tied or sleepy.
C. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.
D. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help.
70. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Just for a Rest B. All for a Nap
C. A Special Sleep Pattern. D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
注意： 如果选 E 涂 AB， 选F 涂AC，选G涂 AD。
No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words. I’m sorry Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. 71
It is not about winning.
Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong, or by making him be the first to apologize.
In reality, you’ll both lose if you let your fight ruin your friendship, and you’ll both win if you find a way to heal it.
72
You may have heard the expression “His pride stood in the way”. It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “right” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever. 73 Remember: as time goes on, we usually fet who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.
Take the first step.
Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship? 74 you don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long, or that you overreacted to something your friend did. If you say you’re sorry, it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same. 75
A. Then try to be the first to apologize.
B. Stop thinking about your pride.
C. It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.
D. Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about.
E. Here are some things to keep in mind.
F. There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first.
G. Once you’ve both said it, you’ll both feel a million times better.

附加题（共5小题，每小题2分）
Fred Michel is one of 7.2 million Americans who moonlight.
Once a week, after his day job as medical director of a mental health center, the 40-year-old psychiatrist(精神科医生) heads to a part-time job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.
Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, aording to the US Labor Department, and that looks set(很可能的) to increase this year.
Many workers like the safety that moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of “Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side”.
The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household(家庭) expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some special things.
People also take second jobs with an eye to the future―wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.
Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable(不稳定的). He wanted to make sure he wasn’t tied to one system that ended up failing.
Just as the purposes for moonlighting are different, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries---no longer just service，office and sales jobs.
As its name means, moonlighting still ours mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.
Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some panies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees’ 9-to-5 performance.
“The primary employer is saying, ‘Wait, I’m paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,’” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. “If you’re burning yourself at both ends, it’s going to show.”
Still, the good done to the moonlighters can be great. Besides extra ine, moonlighters enjoy variety(多样性), freedom and chance to do something new. They also may find their part-time jobs strengthen what they do full time.
Besides, “it’s fun,” Michel says. Not only do his part-time jobs offer a chance to work, stretch his professional skills and make more money, but they also give him the variety he wouldn’t find just in a full-time job.
“It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabi(调料箱),” he says, “and offering a little variety throughout the day.”
76. What is the closest definition(定义) of “moonlight”?
A. Go out at night. B. Do some secret things at night.
C. Go out for a walk at night. D. Take some part-time jobs at night.
77. What is the article mainly about?
A. The reasons for moonlighting. B. The ways of moonlighting.
C. The problems with moonlighting. D. The kinds of people who moonlight.
78. The reason why Fred Michel began to moonlight is that ______.
A. he found it exciting to do a part-time job
B. he feared he would lose his present job one day
C. he needed to make ends meet with more money
D. he felt more and more pressure from his employer
79. Some panies don’t allow their workers to moonlight because they are afraid ______.
A. their workers cannot do extra-hour work for them
B. their workers will be too tired to try their best at work
C. their workers will one day turn to some other different jobs
D. their workers will not get to work and be off work on time
80. The underlined sentence “It’s a way of pulling from the spice cabi.” in the last paragraph means ________.
A. moonlighting brings you chances to do something different
B. moonlighting offers you freedom to make extra money
C. moonlighting strengthens your professional skills
D. moonlighting gets you away from the job you don’t enjoy
