People do not analyze every problem they meet with. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by. However, when all of these methods, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are sixin analyzing a problem.
First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he can’t ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to solutions. For example, suppose Samthat his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. At this time he can look his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, talk to his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes quitebecause the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a different way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum a brake. He immediately hits on the solution to his problem: he mustthe brakes.
Finally the solution is short he has solved the problem.

Have you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild, many animals are still hibernating. It’s too bad that humans can’t hibernate. In fact, as a species, we almost did.
Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation. So writes Graham Robb, a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants. As soon as the weather turned cold people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end.
In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radio’s The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial lighting and the electric bulb.
When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”, which was not clarified, though. Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods. The business of eight hours’ uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention.
In the past, without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight. The late night period was known as ”The Watch”. It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited families and neighbours.
According to some sleep researchers, a short period of insomnia (失眠) at midnight is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning. This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people. The impressive inventor, Thomas Edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas.
Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in. Medical science doesn’t help much in this case. It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to Warren’s theory，it is really the opposite of what we need.
16. The example of the French peasants shows the fact that________.
A. people might become lazy as a result of too much sleep
B. there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habits
C. people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weather
D. winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end

A. to set traps to catch animalsB. to wake up their family and neighbours
C. to remind others of the timeD. to guard against possible dangers

According to a survey, which was based on the responses of 188,000 students, today’s traditional-age college freshman are “more materialistic and less altruistic（利他主义的）” than any time in the 17 years of the poll.
Not surprising in these hard times, the student’s major objective “is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.” It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting.
Interest in teaching, social service and the “altruistic” fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.
That’s no surprise, either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the job--- even before she completed her two-year associate degree.
equally true that, in studying the different kinds of wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.
Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company; no job. How shortsighted in the long run!
But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table, one of them is talking on the phone: “Miss Baxter,” he says, “could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?”
From the long-term point of view, that’s what education really ought to be about.
20. The students’ criteria for selecting majors today have much to do with ________.
A. the influences of their instructors
B. the financial goals they seek in life
C. their own interpretations of the courses
D. their understanding of the contributions of others.
21. By saying “ While it’s true---artistic” (the underlined sentence in the 5th paragraph),
the author means ____________.
3
A. business management should be included in educational programs
B. human wisdom has been gathering at an extraordinarily speed
C. human intellectual development has reached new heights
D. the importance of a broad education should not be neglected
22. Judging from the passage, studying the wisdom of others can ___________.
A. create varying artistic interests
B. help people see things in their right position
C. help improve connections among people
D. regulate the behavior of modern people

A. Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-minded.
B. Managers often find it hard to tell right from wrong.
C. People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than TWELVE words.
Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地) and leave no mark.
Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, expect in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do (设法应付过去) without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary. 4

25. The author thinks that a good campsite should be one without
__________________________.
26. What does the writer imply by saying “A good campsite is found, not made”?
27. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage on wild camping?

A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer, actually increases the risk.
Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma（黑素瘤）.They said that they found in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.
Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence faster than any other cancer in the United States.
But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning. The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer—people with fair skin and freckles（雀斑），for example—are more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.
The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study.
28. The underlined word “flaws” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means_____.
A. evidences B. facts C. faultsD. failures
29. People with fair skin and freckles _____.
A. seldom use sunscreen B. are more in danger of skin cancer
C. can be free from the harm of the sun D. often expose themselves to the sun
30. We can learn from the passage that_____.
A. sunscreen users get skin cancer more often
B. the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreen
C. the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers
D. the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in America
31. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer B. Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer
C. Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen D. Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles

How men first learned to invent words is unknown; , the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain to express thought and feelings, actions and things, they could communicate 5
with each other, and that later they agreed certain signs, called letters, which could be to represent those sounds, and which could be those sounds, whether spoken,written in letters, we can words.
The power of words, then lies in their the things they bring up before our minds.

This 46 and telling use of words is what we call style. Above all, the real poet is a master of . He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which their position and association canmen to tears.
