14、，满分 40分） A The Chinese were the real inventor of printing. Centuries ago they carved messages on stone and then sprinkled (撒) sooty(粉末状的) dust over the stone carving. When they put a small piece of paper over the stone and rubbed the paper, the sooty lines were reproduced on it. Some of these first

15、printed papers have been preserved; the oldest ones known to exist are more than one thousand years old. Printing with carved stone blocks was the only kind of printing known for centuries. Then, about eight hundred years ago, a Chinese printer, Bi Sheng, had a clever idea. Instead of carving a whol

16、e message on a single big block of wood or stone, he formed separate Chinese words or characters out of bits of clay(粘土). By fitting the clay pieces together in rows in a box, he could print just as before. But when he finished, he could keep all the separate pieces of clay and use them again. Bi Sh

17、engs movable type was a great step forward, but his method was not generally adopted. Movable type did not come into use in Europe until it was invented there centuries later. The Europeans had been totally ignorant(无知的) of the printing traditions of the Chinese.36. The oldest pieces of printed pape

20、tay alive. 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

21、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 him sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one. The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was s

22、itting 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 inju

23、red 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 94.40. The main idea of this passage is that_A large numbers of people do not need sleep B a person was found who actually didnt need any sleepC everyone needs some sleep

24、to stay alive D people can live longer by trying not to sleep41. The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting_A to cure him of his sleeplessness B to find that his sleeplessness was not really trueC to find out why some old people did not need any sleepD to find a way to free people from the need of

25、sleeping42. 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 sleep in a chair43. One reason that might explain Herpins sleeplessness was _A his mothers injury before he was born B that h
