The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves about the 51 problem -how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well 52 no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus six buildings comfortable. Some parts of the buildings - theatres and offices 53 classrooms - are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned 54 in winter. The technique of 55 heat and redistributing it is 56 “Heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover _57_, but the universitys system is the first to recover heat 58 some buildings and reuse it in 59 . Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The 60 a student studies, the more heat his body 61 . Male students emit more heat than 62 students. And the larger a student, the more heat he 63 . It is tempting to 64 that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a 65 , overweight male genius. 51) A. similar B. wrong C. opposing D. opposite 52) A. which B. then C. that D. therefore 53) A. including B. as well C. with D. as well as 54) A. even B. so C. ever D. much 55) A. saving B. being saved C. disposing D. being disposed 56) A. talked B. thought C. suggested D. called 57) A. loss B. cold C. temperature D. heat 58) A. to B. from C. with D. for 59) A. the other B. other C. others D. the others 60) A. hard B. hardest C. harder D. more hard 61) A. takes in B. gives off C. gives in D. takes out 62) A. woman B. female C. girl D. boy 63) A. produces B. manufactures C. designs D. assembles 64) A. start B. conclude C. end D. begin 65) A. easy-going B. fun-making C. hard-working D. good-for-nothing Key 51.

During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the day before. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles (肌肉) relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyes are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep! 66) A good title for this passage is _. A. Sleep B. Good Health C. Dreams D. Work and Rest 67) The underlined word “drowsy” in the last paragraph means _. A. sick B. stand up C. asleep D. sleepy 68) This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _. A. dream more often B. have poor health C. prepared for the next day D. breathe quickly 69) During REM, _. A. your eyes move quickly B. you dream C. you are restless D. both A and B 70) The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is _. A. about six yours B. around ten hours C. not stated in the passage D. about eight hours Key 66) A. S1eep 67) D. s1eepy 68) B. have poor health 69) D. both A and B 70) C. not stated in the passage Passage 2 Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it. Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in a row. For perception is the minds interpretation of what his senses in this case our eyes tell us. Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. 71) Seeing and perceiving are _. A. the same action B. two separate actions C. two actions carried on entirely by eyes D. several actions that take place at different times 72) People perceive different things about the same scene because _. A. they see different things B. they cannot agree about things C. some have better eyesight D. None of these 73) Psychologists study perception by _. A. setting up many experiments B. asking each other what they see C. looking out of windows D. studying peoples eyes 74) Which of the following statements is implied but not stated？ A. Psychologists do not yet know how people see. B. The best experiments are those in which all factors are controlled. C. The study of perception is going on now. D. Perception does not involve psychological factors. 75) The best title for this selection is _. A. What Psychologists Perceive B. Learning Our Minds Through Science C. How We Perceive D.

He worked for the same newspaper from 1926 to 1968. He started as a clerk but by 1948 he had become the editor. That was the position he held until he retired. Bill wrote his first story for the paper the day the New York Stock (股票) Market crashed in 1929. Two of the papers reporters were thirty miles from town checking on an airplane crash. The other one was in San Francisco investigating Chinatown. When the first news of the stock market came into the office Bill immediately sat down and wrote up the story. The editor liked it so much that he used the story. And he didnt make any changes in it. After that the editor decided Bill should be a reporter. He felt he was not using his real ability working as a clerk. After this first story Bill became especially interested in financial news. But he wrote stories on just about everything. In 1945 he spent five months in Europe. His editor had decided he should write about the end of World War II. His paper was the smallest one with a writer in Europe. One of Bills greatest moments came in 1946. A story he had written on war won the National Newspapermans Award. Bill took the prize but he gave all the credit (荣誉) to his editor. Bill had a heart attack in 1957. He recovered fully but in 1961 he began suffering from a new disease. It lasted for the rest of his life. He overcame many emotional sufferings as well, including the death of his oldest daughter in a car accident. It was just before Christmas in 1967 that he learned he had cancer. Six months later he died. But he had never stopped his work as an editor. The day before he died he had spent a full day at the office. 76) Bill Grant _. A. was a newspaper editor from 1926 to 1968 B. wrote his first story about the New York Stock Market crash in 1929 and soon after that he became the editor of the newspaper C. had a heart attack in 1957 and recovered fully later on D. wrote stories on nothing but financial matters 77) We can deduce from the passage that when Bill was writing the story about the New York Stock Market crash there were _ reporters on the newspaper. A. two B. three C. four D. more than four 78) Which of the following is NOT true? A. Bill Grant started his work for the newspaper as a clerk. B.
