It is six to eight square meters of mirrorsB . It can work in any weather condition nowC . It can also heat the pan by lighting firewoodD . It is more environmentfriendly than other cookers（5）From the passage，we can infer that A . the“Sol4”will be designed in a smaller sizeB . more African can use the solar cookers in the futureC . the“Sol4”is the first product of the south African companyD . the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers24. （6分） Even though global warming may have made the weather more mild, many animals are still hibernating（冬眠）. Its too bad that humans cant hibernate. In fact we almost did.Apparently, at times in the past, farmers 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 farmers. As soon as the weather turned cold, people all over the France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months.In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producer at CBC Radios The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed since the invention of lighting.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 continuous sleep is a modern invention.In the past, without the artificial light, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves up 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 family and neighbors.According to some sleep researchers, a short of insomnia（失眠）at midnight is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can experience another state of consciousness（清醒状态）around their sleeping, which happens in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning. This period can be a creative time for some people.Playing with your sleep rhythms（节奏）can be dangerous, as worry may set in. Medical science doesnt help much in this case. It offers us medicines for a full nights continuous sleep, which sounds natural; however, according to Warrens theory, it is really the opposite of what we need.（1）The late night was called “The Watch” because it was a time for people _.A . to set time to catch animalsB . to remind others of the timeC . to guard against possible dangersD . to wake up their family and neighbors（2）We can infer from the last paragraph that people should _A . sleep in the way animals doB . follow their natural sleep rhythmsC . keep to the eight-hour sleeping wayD . ask doctors for help if they cant sleep（3）What is the writers purpose in writing the passage?A . To throw new light on human sleep.B . To encourage people to sleep less.C . To give some suggestions on insomnia.D . To find out peoples hibernating history.四、 任务型阅读。 (共1题；共21分)25. （21分）任务型阅读：回答下列问题，第五题为翻译划线句子。One day, a baby snail（蜗牛） found that he had to carry a big and heavy shell（壳） at any time. He was confused(困惑的), so he went up to his mother and asked, “ Why was I born with a shell that grew so hard and heavy?” His mother said, “Because we dont have bones（骨头） to hold us up. We can only move slowly, so we need a shell to protect us.”The baby snail asked again, “The caterpillar(毛毛虫) has no bones, either, and she cant move quickly. Why can she live without a shell?” The mother snail answered, “Thats because a caterpillar will become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky. The sky can protect her.”The baby snail had one more question, “But the earthworm(蚯蚓) moves like us. He has no bones and he wont turn into a butterfly. Why doesnt he carry a hard and heavy shell?” His mother said, “He can dig a hole and hide in the ground, and then the earth can protect him.”The baby snail then cried, “We are so poor! We have no protection from the sky or from the ground!” His mother smiled at him, “Thats why we have a shell. My dear, imagine that if we dont have the shells, what will happen to us? Hot sun will dry out our bodies and well have nowhere to sleep. Whats worse, well die in the heavy rain. How terrible it is! We dont depend on the sky or the ground for protection. We should depend on ourselves.”（1）Whom did the baby snail ask for help, his mother or father? （2）What will the caterpillar in the story become when he grows up? （3）Where can an earthworm hide? （4）Who should the snails depend on according to the story？ （5）翻译划线句子：_五、 词语运用。 (共1题；共5分)26. （5分）请根据句意从方框中选用合适的单词，并用其适当形式填空，使句子通顺。 they ninety little invent usual_Simon and Linda looked at each other and kept their secret to
