Section C Passage One

The massive decline in sleep happened so slowly and quietly that few seemed to notice the
trend. Was it becrause of the growing attraction of the Internet, video games and endless TV
channels? Never disconnecting from work? No matter how it happened, millions of Americans are
putting their health, quality of life and even length of life in danger. (16 - 1) New evidence shows
why getting enough sleep is a top priority. Some 40% of Americans get less than 7 hours of
shut-eye on week nights. “The link between sleep and health, and bad sleep and disease is
becoming clearer and clearer,” says LawTence Alberstaine, a sleep expert at Harvard University.
For example, (17) sleep duration has declined from some 8 hours in the 1950s to 7 in recent years.
Al the same time, high blood pressure has become an increasing problem. Blood pressure and
heart rate are typically at their lowest levels during sleep. (18) People who sleep less tend to have
higher blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes, weight gain and other problems. Sleeping better may
help fight off illness. When people are sleep-deprived, there are higher levels of stress hormones
in their Ixxlies which can decrease iminune function. says Doctor Felice, of Northwestern
University in Chicago. (16-2) A university of Chicago study shows people who sleep well live
longer. So say

Parents and teachers will tell you not to worr)1 wlien applying for a place at a university. But
in the same breath we will remind you that it is the most important decision of your life. (19) The
first decision is your choice of course. It will depend on what you want to get out of university,
what you are good at and what you enjoy. The next decision is where to apply. Aim high but
within reason. Do you have the right combinalion of subjects and are your expected grades likely
to meet entry requirements? The deadline is January 15th. But it is best to submit your application
early because universities begin work as soon as forms start rolling in. (20) The most important
part of the application is the much feared personal statement. This is your chance to convey
boundless enthusiasm for the subject. So economy of expression is foremost. Omit dull and
ineffective generalities and make sure you give concrete examples. (21 - 1) Admissions officers
read ever>r personal statement that arrives. It is not convincing if you say you have chosen the
subject because you enjoy it. You have to get across what it is about a particular area that has
inspired you. (21 - 2) They will look for evidence that you have reflected and thought about the
subject. Appli- cants should be honest. There is no point saying you run marathons, if you are
going to be out of breath arriving at the interview on the second floor. _____________

Passage Three

(22) It is usually agreed that a German, Carl Bens built the first motor car in 1885. It was
actually a tricycle with a petrol motor at the rear. Soon, members of the royal family and other
wealthy people took up motoring as a sport. Many of the early cars had two seats. (23) There were
no petrol pumps and few garages, so every driver had to be his own engineer for the frequent
breakdowns. By 1905, cars began to look like cars of today, with head lamps, wind screen, rubber
tyres and number plates. (24) Henry Ford's Model T introduced in America in 1909 was cheaper
because it was made on the assembly line. It brought cars closer towards the reach of ordinary
people. With the popularity of the car, registration became a must in 1903 with the Motor Car Act.
Competency tests were introduced in 1935. Today, the legal driving age for a car in the UK is 17.
You are not allowed to drive a car unsupervised until you have passed a driving test. In 1958,
Britain celebrated the opening of its first motor way— the Preston Bypass. Until then, no one
really understood what a motor way was, not even the laborers who were building it. (25) The
bypass held a new era in motor travel and was greeted with excitement and optimism. Service
stations came with the motor way and tlie legend of the transport cafe was bom. Of course, the
service station has diversified greatly. But whether it ' s an English-cooked breakfast or a coffee
and a sandwich, one thing has iremained the same：the prices.
22. What does the speaker say about the first motor car?

23. What was the problem with the early cars in Britain?
[参考答案]D
[解题技巧]选项A是它们消耗许多汽油，选项B 是它们只能载两个人，选项C是它们很难
驾驶，选项D是它们经常出故障。由选项可知，此题应与汽车有 关。
[答案详解]短文中提到没有加油泵和0理厂,所以开车的人不得不自己频繁维修，选项A错误，故选D。因为短文中提到司机要自己频繁修理，说明它时常出故障。短文中说最早的汽
车只有两 个座位，没有说只能载两个人，选项B错误。选项C未提及。
24. Why did Henry Ford' s Model T cars cost less?
[参考答案]A
[解 题技巧]选项A是它们由流水作业线生产，选项B是它们由廉价的材料生产，选项C是
它们以英国车为模 型制成，选项D是生产它们是为了日常使用。由选项可知，此题应与汽
