9．阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题．
Sleeplessness in Seattle？Hardly．West Virginia is where people are really staying awake，according to the first government study to monitor state-by-state differences in sleeplessness．West Virginians'lack of sleep was about double the national rate，perhaps a side effect of health problems such as obesity（肥胖），experts said．
Nearly I in 5 West Virginians said they did not get a single good night's sleep in the previous month．The national average was about 1 in l 0，according to a federal health survey．Tennessee，Kentucky and Oklahoma also were notably above average with nearly 1 in 7 people reporting in a lack of sleep．In contrast，North Dakota was below average，with only 1 in 1 3 reporting that degree of sleeplessness．Health officials do not know the exact reasons for the differences．
In．the survey，people weren't required to answer the question why they were not able to get enough rest or sleep．But experts noted several possible explanations：West Virginia ranks at or near the bottom of the nation in several important measurements of health，including obesity，smoking，heart disease and the proportion of adults with disabilities．
Studies have increasingly found that sleeping problems often occurred among people with certain health problems，including obesity．"You would expect to see poorer sleep within a chronically（慢慢地） diseased population"，noted Dr Ronald Chervin，a sleep disorders expert in University of Michigan．
Financial stress and work shifts（倒班）can play roles in sleeplessness，too，Chervin added．He suggested those may be contributing factors in West Virginia，an economically depressed state with tens of thousands of people working in coal mining．
The report was based on results of an annual telephone survey of more than 400，000 Americans，including at least 3，900 in each state．The survey did not include people who use only cellphones．
56．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1？（No more than 15 words．）
West Virginians suffer from lack of sleep the most perhaps due to health problems．
57．What does the underlined word"notably"in Paragraph 2 mean？（No more than 3 words．）Highly
58．What was the possible reason for the high rate of sleeplessness in West Virginia according to Paragraph 3？（No more than 12 words．）West Virginia had a low level of several important measurements of health．
59．List three factors that contribute to sleeplessness based on the passage．（No more than 8 words．）
（1）being too fat（2）financial stress（3）work shifts
60．How was the research carried out？（No more than 10 words．）By interviewing over 400，000 Americans on the telephone．．

8．Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war？War is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years．It was always evil and usually foolish，but in the past the human race managed to live with it．Modern skill has changed this．Either man will stop war or war will stop man．For the present，it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger，but bacteriological（细菌）or chemical weapons may，before long，offer an even greater threat．If we succeeded in stopping war，there would be no danger for us．To do this，we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way，not as contests Of force，in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre（大屠杀），but by arbitration（仲裁）in accordance with agreed principles of law．It is not easy to change age-old mental habits，but this is what must be attempted．
There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology（意识形态）would prevent，war．I believe this to be a complete error．All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are，at best，doubtful，and at worst，totally false．Those people who believe in them are willing to go to war in support of them．
The movement of world opinion during the past two years has been very largely such as we can welcome．It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided．Of course，very difficult problems remain in the international world，but the spirit in which they are being dealt with is a better one than it was some years ago．It has begun to be thought，even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die，that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory．It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West，but between Man and the H-bomb．
51．From the first paragraph we．can know thatA．
A．we may face greater threat from weapons
B．bacteriological or chemical weapons are less dangerous than nuclear weapons
C．man's idea of victory has changed
D．dangerous weapons are forbidden in modem society

A．stop nuclear weapons
B．settle international problems through agreements

7．Lisa is a good example of a student in shock．She is an attractive，intelligent twenty-year-old college junior at a state university．She was a straight．-A student in high school and a member of basketball and volleyball teams there．Now，only three years later，Lisa is miserable．She has changed her major four times and is forced to hold down two part-time jobs in order to pay her tuition．She suffers from sleeping and eating disorders and has no close friends．Sometimes she bursts out crying for no apparent reasons．
What is happening to Lisa happens to millions of college students each year．As a result，about one-quarter of the student population at any time will suffer from symptoms（症状）of depression of that group，almost half will experience depression intense（强烈的）enough to call for professional help．But many reject tli at idea，because they don't want people to think there's something wrong with them．
There are three reasons why today's students are suffering more than in earlier generations．First is a weakening family support structure．Today，with high divorce rates and many parents experiencing their own psychological difficulties，the traditional family is not always available for guidance and support．Another problem is financial pressure．In the last decade tuition costs have skyrocketed-up about sixty-six-percent at public colleges and ninety percent at private schools．At the same time there has been a cutback in federal aid to students．College loans ate now much harder to obtain．Consequently，most students must work at their part time．
A final cause of student shock is the large selection of majors available．Because of the mu1titude（众多）and difficulty of choosing a major，college can prove a time of great indecision．Many students switch majors．As a result，it is becoming common place to take five or six years to get a degree．It can be depressing for students to be faced with the added tuition costs．
46．What's the main idea of the passage？C
A．Going to college is a depressing experience for many students．

6．I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling（叛逆）．I wish it were so．At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents．You should be learning to stand on your own hvo feet．But take a good look at the present rebellion．It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents．Instead of striking out boldly on their own，most of them are clutching（紧握）at one another's hands for reassurance．
They claim they want to dress as they please．But they all wear the same clothes．Then set off in new directions in music．But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together．Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it．They have come out of their cocoon（茧） into a larger cocoon．
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way．Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market．These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be． 
And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children．All this adds to a great barrier（障碍） for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path．
But the barrier is worth climbing over．The path is worth following，You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party．You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records．You may have some thoughts'that you don't care to share with your classmates at once，well，go to it．Find yourself．Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are．That is the only kind of popularity that really counts．

51．In this passage，the author wants to tellA．
A．teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves

C．parents how to control and guide their children

5．She always wore a flower in her hair．Mostly I thought it looked（16）C．A flower to work？But no one questioned the young woman why a flower（17）Aher to work each day．In fact，we probably would have been more curious if she had（18）Awithout it．
She did so one day（19）Cshe delivered a project to my office．"I（20）Dthere is no flower in your hair today，"I said （21）A．"I'm so used to seeing you wear one（22）Bit almost seems as if something is（23）A．""Oh，yes，"she replied quietly，in a rather sad voice．This was far from her （24）Dbright personality．I knew I had questioned something（25）Cthan a lost flower．
"Today is the anniversary of my mother's death．I（26）Dher so much that I'm very sad．When I was a little girl，my mother would often（27）Aflowers in my hair．But when I was 15 she died of cancer．I've just always worn a flower in my hair since then and（28）Bmade me feel as though she（29）A with me．Today，however，I think she would like a（30）Bthat I am becoming self-dependent，after ten years of her death．And it seems that it is the flower that has to（31）C．"
She met my eyes and then smiled sadly．"I needn't wear a flower to be（32）Bof her．It was just an outward sign of my treasured （33）Bthey're still there even with the flower gone…Oh，here's the（34）C I hope it meets with your agreement．"She （35）Dme the neatly prepared document，signed with a hand-drawn flower below her name．
