Edith Cavell, born on December 4, 1865 at Northfolk, England, studied nursing, and became First Matron(护士长) at a hospital in Brussels, Belgium.

Places of business that used 1o keep daytime business hours are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (无关的). A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more flexible, is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the law of time even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, days and years but unless we meet the truant officer(学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with extra pay for overtime working, but less familiar with the fact that what makes up overtime is a matter of legal definition (法律规定). When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: Here is the law in action? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and rate.（1）By saying Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be, the writer mans that _. A . work time is equal to rest timeB . many people have a day off on MondayC . it is hard for people to decide when to restD . the line between work time and rest time is unclear（2）The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people _. A . fail to make full use of their timeB . enjoy working overtime for extra payC . are unaware of the law of timeD . welcome flexible working hours（3）According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they _. A . need to acquire knowledgeB . have to obey their parentsC . need to find companionsD . have to observe the law（4）What is the main idea of the passage? A . Our life is governed by the law of time.B . How to organize time is not worth debating.C . New ways of using time change our society.D . Our time schedule is decided by social customs.16. （8分）阅读理解 Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?Lots of people do. And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one-half of the brain remains more awake than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place.This appears a case of the brain keeping people ready for trouble in a new place, the researchers said.The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home. They call it first-night influence. In Japan they say, If you change your pillow, you cant sleep, said Yuka Sasaki, one of the reports writers, You dont sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it.The researchers measured brain waves(测量脑波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory. The two nights were a week apart. They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep-sleep period, the researchers said.Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they dont know if the left half keeps watch all night. Or whether it works in shifts with the right half later in the night. They also dont know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is looking out for us in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.（1）What did the research find during the first deep-sleep period? A . They found the brain wave remained the same.B . They found the brain activity helped with sleep.C . They found the right half of the brain kept watch.D . They found the left half of the brain was more active.（2）Which of the following is one of the questions that remain? A . Whether the new bed keeps you from sleeping.B . How you have trouble sleeping in a new place.C . Why the brain activity is always on the left half.D . What people can do when they cant sleep well.（3）The underlined word calming has the closest meaning to _. A . pleasingB . differentC . seriousD . strange（4）What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 7 refer to? A . The brain wave.B . The brain activity.C . The whole brain.D . The left half of the brain.四、 情景交际。 (共1题；共5分)17. （5分）根据对话内容，在空白处写出恰当的句子，使对话意思连贯完整。所写句子应与所给的标点符号一致。A: Hello, House of Noodles.B: Hello, I want to order some food.A: _?B: Id like a bowl of beef noodles.A: _?B: A large bowl.A: Would you like some drinks?B: Yes, _.A: OK.
