person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. thats 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 herpin 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 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 94.4the main idea of this passage is that _. a.everyone needs some sleep to stay alive b.large numbers of people do not need sleep c. a person was found who actually didnt need any sleep. d. people can live longer by trying not to sleep5the doctors came to visit herpin , expecting to _. a. cure him of his sleeplessness b. find out why some old people didnt need

sleep at all b. often slept in a chair c.was too old to need any sleep d. needed some kind of sleep7one reason that might explain herpins sleeplessness was _. a.his mothers injury before he was born b. that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habit c.that he hadnt got a bedd. his magnificent physical conditionc in the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. and they all got the same answer: the sexes are different, because their brains are different. and this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways. boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical ideas. boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. and they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.what makes men and women better at one thing or another? the answer is the brain. the brain has two sides connected by nerve tracks. the left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. the right side is used for artistic creation and the expression for emotions. in men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. in boys, for example, its the area used for mathematics. in girls, it is the area used for language skills. another interesting difference is that the two sides of a mans brain are connected by a smaller nerves than the two sides of a womans brain are.8which of the following is best to outline(概括) the article?a. who are better, boys or girlsb. differences between men and womenc. peoples different brains.d. research on the brain. 9_men and women think differently.a. sex makes.b. the influences of society make.c. the different experiences make.d. the different brains make10according to the article, girls are generally better than boys at _ in your school.a. english b. physics c. mathematics d. chemistry11which of the following is true?a. the right side of brain in boys generally develops better than that in girls.b. the area in girls brain used for language skills develops better.c. men are better than women in all things.d. the left side of brain in girls generally develops better than that in boys.d betty and harold have been married for years. but one thing still puzzles old harold. how is it that he can leave betty and her friend joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and theyre still sitting on the sofa? talking?what in the world, harold wonders, do they have to talk about? betty shrugs, talk? were friends. researching this result called friendship, psychologist lillian rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. no matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable”. more than two-thirds of the single men rubin interviewed would not name a best friend. those who could were likely to name a woman. yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. more married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress. “most women,” says rubin, “identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a trouble moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.” “in general,” writes rubin in her new book, “womens friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but mens relationships are marked by shared activities.” for the most part, rubin says, interactions（交往）between men are emotionally controlleda good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior”.“even when a man is said to be a best friend,” rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings. however, a womans closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage; it wasnt unusual to hear a man say he didnt know his friends marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on a sofa.”12.what old harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that _.a. he is treated as an outsider rather than a husbandb. he finds his wife difficult to talk toc. women show little interest in ballgamesd. women have so much to share13.rubins study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to _.a. a male friend b. her husbandc. her parents d. a female friend14.according to the text, which type of behavior is not expected of a man by society?a. complaining about his marriage trouble.b. spending too much time with his friends.c. ending his marriage without good reason.d. going out to ballgames too often.15.which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph?a. men often take sudden action to end their marriage.b. women are more serious than men about marriage.c. men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.d. women depend on others in making decisions.第二小节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 sometimes, you may
