Thats what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves. Al 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 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 94.41. The main idea of this passage is that _.A. large numbers of people do not need sleepB. a person who actually didnt need any sleep was foundC. everyone needs some sleep to stay aliveD. people can live longer by trying not to sleep42. The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting _.A. to cure him of his sleeplessnessB. to find that his sleeplessness was not really trueC. to find out why some old people didnt need any sleepD. to find a way to free people from the need of sleeping43. After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Al Herpin _.A. needed some kind of sleep B. was too old to need any sleepC. needed no sleep at all D. often slept in a chair44. One reason that might explain Herpins sleeplessness was _.A. his mothers injury before he was bornB. that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habitC. his magnificent physical condition D. that he hadnt got a bed45. Al Herpins condition could be regarded as _.A. a common one B. one that could be cured C. very healthy D. a rare oneB“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, youve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says youre a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, youll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.46.In the writers opinion, the most effective way in learning English is _.A.to practise speaking, writing and feeling it B.to forget your own native languageC.to translate everything into his own languageD.to memorize the English words and grammatical rules47. “Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.”This sentence means that memorizing your own language can _.A.help you to study English well B.stop you mastering EnglishC.make English easy to learn D.help you notice mistakes48.Equally important is to feel the language. “to feel the language” here means_.A.to get a knowledge of English by touching B. to be able to read and write EnglishC.to translate English into your own by imaginingD.to be able to experience the rich sensation of the languageCHave you ever wondered why birds sing?

But he expects an outsider almost any time ,especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time ,whether he can see an outsider or not .This screaming is what we call a birds song ,and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language all their own .Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.49.Some scientists believe that most of the time birds singing is actually .Aan expression of happiness Ba way of warningCan expression of anger Da way of greeting50.What is a birds “territory”?AA place where families of other species are not accepted.BA place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.CAn area for which birds fight against each other.DAn area which a bird considers to be its own .51.Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?ABecause they want to invite more friends.BBecause their singing helps frighten outsiders away.CBecause they want to find outsiders around.DBecause their singing helps get rid of their fears.52.How does the writer explain birds singing?ABy comparing birds with human beings.
