It resumed keeping time, but stalled again at 10:20 pm and remained still for about 90 minutes before starting up again, a spokeswoman for the House of Commons said.There has been speculation(推测) that a recent period of hot weather may have been to blame. Temperatures in London reached 90 on Saturday, and forecasts called it Englands hottest day in May since 1953.Big Ben, which is operated by the Palace of West-minister, survived attacks by German Luftwaffe bombers during World War Two, continuing to mark the time to within 1.5 seconds of Greenwich Mean Time.However, the clock has experienced occasional problems. In 1962, snow caused the clock to ring in the New Year 10 minutes late. In 1976, the clock stopped on April 30, 1997, and once more three weeks later.Big Ben is actually the clocks 13-ton bell, which was named after Sir Benjamin Hall, the British commissioner of works at the time the clock was built.The official name for the Gothic tower holding Big Ben is St. Stephens Tower. Standing 315 feet tall, it was completed in 1858 after an 1834 fire destroyed most of the Palace of Westminister.56. What does the underlined word “resumed (in paragraph 2) mean?A. stopped something from happening B. Went on doing somethingC. stopped because there is not enough power to keep it goingD. started doing something again after stopping57. How many occasional problems has Big Ben experienced so far?A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Big Ben was known only for its accuracy.B. Big Ben also stopped because of the hot weather on April 30, 1997.C. German Luftwaffe bombers didnt destroy Big Ben during World War Two.D. An 1834 fire destroyed most of the Palace of Westminister including Big Ben.58. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Hot weather is to blameB. Londons Big Ben mysteriously stops tickingC. The history of Big BenD. Big Ben has experienced occasional problemsBWhat should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools, perhaps you are a poor speller or cant add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.60. What is the passage mainly about?A. The significance of working hard at school.B. The direct and indirect value of school work.C. How to face ones weakness.D. Choosing a career according to ones strong points.61. According to the passage, doing a part-time job as a student _.A. can help afford ones educationB. is a good way to practice skills learnt in schoolC. can help you to prepare for future workD. is a waste of time that could have been spent on study62. From the passage we learn that if a students school performance is not good, he _.A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesB. will be regretful about his bad resultsC. may also do well in his future workD. should restart his study in school63. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in paragraph 3) probably means “_”.A. be clumsy at doing things B. be skillful in doing thingsC. dont have interest in certain things D. be easily bored in doing thingsCHappiness, rather than working hard, is the key to success, according to research published yesterday. Cheerfu1 peop1e are more 1ikely to try new things and challenge（挑战） themselves， which strengthens their good emotion and leads to success in work，good relationships and strong health，say psychologists（心理学家）.The findings suggest that happiness is not a “ feel-good” luxury（奢侈品），but is necessary for peoples well-being. What is more, happiness can also reach an entire nation，with people in” happy” nations being more likely to help others.The link between happiness and success was studied by a team from the University of California Riverside，led by Professor Sonja Lyubomirsky.First, they examined questionnaires that ask peop1e about their 1ives. “ For example, they show that happy people are likely to earn higher incomes” said Lyubomirsky. Having established the link，they wanted to discover the cause.“Almost always it has been taken for granted that things that connect closely to happiness are the causes of happiness，but it could be just the opposite that those things are likely to be caused by happiness，” said Professor Ed Diener from the University of Illinois，another author on the paper.“ There was strong evidence that happiness leads people to be more sociable，more generous and more productive at work，to make more money，and to have stronger immune（免疫）systems，”said Lyubomirsky.The research shows that while success can put a spring in someones step，peop1e need happiness in the first place to achieve success.According to the study， around 4 out of 5 people in modern industrialized nations arc happy at any one time.Success was not just about earning lots of money. “ We describe success as having the things that culture or society values，whether it be friends，close family, money and income，or long life，”said Diener.However，sorrowful people arc not predetermined to lead a life of failure.64. In this passage，which of the following viewpoints does Professor Lyubomirsky state？A. People in less happy countries are more likely to help others.B. Things connected to happiness are brought about by happiness.C. Happiness results in richer and healthier people.D. Success means possessing things that a cu1ture or society thinks highly of.65. The underlined phrase “ put a spring in someones step” means .A. put you in good spirits B. put spring water on your feetC. have a pleasant walk in spring D. step into a cheerful spring66. According to the passage，which of the following is true？A. People arc happy because they earn more money.B. People earn more money because they are happy.C. Working hard is important for being successful.D. We can do whatever we like as 1ong as we feel happy.67. We can infer from the passage that .A. fee1ing good is a cause and not an effect of achievementB. our life would be a failure if we were not happyC. happiness is just a personal problemD. being successful mainly means being wealthyDFor some scientists, every day is Groundhog Day. But these researchers arent looking for a shadow. Theyre trying to figure out how groundhogs each year put themselves into a state of nearly being dead. Body temperature quickly goes down, metabolism(新陈代谢) nearly shuts down, and heart rate slows to something nearly dead. Something changes these normally warm-blooded animals into cool balls.But what? The answers could have deep implications(暗示) for humans . Explaining the mystery of hibernation(冬眠) is necessary for the attractive deep-space travel. If future generations are to stand an interplanetary journey(星际旅行), researchers must learn how to use animal-like hibernation . More immediately ,scientists believe the secrets of hibernation could drive great advances in stroke(中风) treatment, injury survival and even weight control.“Why is it that this animal can eat like persons who are fat for several months and then shut off for a number of months?” asked Gregory Florant. He studies groundhogs, trying to understand how their energy regulation can change so greatly.Contrary to popular ideas, hibernating animals dont sleep for the winter and wake up in the spring. Hibernation is not sleep. An animal will periodically wake and then go back down into a state known as torpor(蛰伏). The particular mark of hibernation is a great rise and fall in metabolism wild swings (突然转变) in body temperature and blood flow that a person could not stand.Since so many different mammals can hibernate, scientists believe the ability for human to survive similar changes of metabolism is probably buried in the genetic code, which remains a mystery. “ We are mammals, therefore we share genes with other mammals that can do this ,” Dr. Florant said. “We havent discovered what genes are directly involved.”But researchers have recently gained some important breakthroughs about the process.68. According to the passage, “groundhogs” should be _ .A. a kind of bird B. cold-blooded animalsC. animals able
