Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry.In the past,when more Americans lived on farms,the typical family had many children.In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often,uncles and aunts lived nearby,too.But when industry becomes more important than agriculture in American life, families become smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary.And large families cannot be moved from place to place as easily as smaller families can.So,at present people tend to have smaller families.
In the future,because of industrialization,a typical family will be required to move even more often than now,so families will be even smaller.The typical families may remain childless and are only made up of a man and a woman.A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work.At the same time they may also raise other people’s children,leaving those families free to move job to job.
31.The main topic discussed in the passage is______.
A.the development of science and industry in America

B.people stop caring for having children
C.the need for workers who are able to move any time has been increasing
D.both old and young people like to live by themselves

It doesn’t matter when and how much a person sleeps,but everyone needs some rest to stay alive.That’s what all doctors thought,until they heard about Herpin.Herpin,it was said,never slept.Could this be true?The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.
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 that 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 having been injured several days before he was born.But that was all.Was this the real reason?No one could be sure.Herpin died at the age of 94.
36.The doctors came to visit Herpin,expecting______.
A.to find out why some old people did not need any sleep
B.to find a way to free people from the need of sleeping
C.to cure him of his sleeplessness
D.to find that his sleeplessness was not really true
解析:选D。细节理解题。由文章第一段可知,医生们相信人是需要睡觉的,所以当他们听说有人从不睡觉时他们想要去证明那不是真的。
37.After watching him closely,the doctors came to believe that Herpin________.
A.was too old to need any sleep
B.needed no sleep at all
C.often sleep in a chair
D.needed some kind of sleep
解析:选B。细节理解题。由文章第二段的“they never saw him sleeping”可知答案为B。

D.that he hadn’t got a bed
解析:选A。细节理解题。由文章第三段的后半部分可知答案为A。
39.Herpin’s condition could be regarded as________.
A.a common one
B.a rare one
C.one that could be cured
D.very healthy
解析:选B。推理判断题。由全文可知,医生们都认为人是需要睡觉的,而Herpin这位老人从不需要睡觉,所以他应当是一个罕见的例子。
40.The main idea of this passage is that________.
A.a person was found who actually didn’t need any sleep
B.large numbers of people do not need sleep
C.everyone needs some sleep to stay alive
D.people can live longer by trying not to sleep

D
Do you believe that chimpanzees(黑猩猩)are as clever as people?Well,they may not be able to read English,but they can use tools and talk to each other.
They use tools to eat ants.They get a long piece of grass and put it into an ants“house”.Ants start to climb up the grass,the chimpanzee will put the grass in its mouth and eat them.
Chimpanzees also have feelings.“Chimpanzees are like man:they love each other and they love to share their food with others,” said Jane,a British scientist who has studied chimpanzees for over forty years.
We can see many examples of chimpanzees doing something like people.One day when Jane,the scientist,was watching chimpanzees in the forest in Tanzania of Africa,suddenly some chimpanzees started screaming and hitting the trees near them with their hands and feet.They were doing this to tell chimpanzees nearby that they had found lots of fruit and wanted them to share.
Now chimpanzees are dying because of man.We like killing them and cutting the forests where they live.Some people kill them for money.But most chimpanzees die after man cuts down the forests they live in.This means they have no place to live in and no food to eat.
And how can we save them?
41.Why do you think chimpanzees are clever?
A.Because they can speak English.
B.Because they can use tools and talk to each other.
C.Because they don’t share food with others.
D.Because they can use tools.
解析:选B。细节理解题。由文章第一段可知答案为B。
42.We can tell from the text that________.
A.chimpanzees are dying because there are more animals in the forest
B.chimpanzees kill each other for food
C.chimpanzees are dying because people are killing them and cutting the forests where they live
D.chimpanzees like living with people
解析:选C。细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段可知答案为C。
43.The scientist who has studied chimpanzees for over 40 years is from________.
A.China
B.Japan
C.Britain
D.America
解析:选C。细节理解题。由文章第三段的“said Jane,a British scientist who has studied chimpanzees for over forty years”可知选C。
44.What does the underlined word“screaming”in the fourth paragraph mean?
A.跑开
B.嬉戏
C.哭喊
D.尖叫
解析:选D。词义猜测题。一些黑猩猩找到许多水果,通过“尖叫”以及用手脚敲打树木以向附近的同伴传递信息。故选D。
45.The following statements are true EXCEPT________.
A.We should protect as many animals as we can
B.We should plant as many trees as possible
C.We should try to cut down the forests
D.We should love and understand animals
解析:选C。推理判断题。由全文可知,文章介绍了黑猩猩的习性及现状,强调了由于人类的随意捕杀和乱砍滥伐而导致黑猩猩正在逐渐灭绝,故从中可看出作者提倡应保护动物和它们的栖息地,多种树木,故C项错误。
