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 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 Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.‎ The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured 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.‎ ‎4．The main idea of this passage is that _______.‎ A．a person was found who actually didn't need any sleep B．large numbers of people do not need sleep C．everyone needs some sleep to stay alive D．people can live longer by trying not to sleep ‎5．The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting to _______.‎ A．cure him of his sleeplessness B．find a way to free people from the need of sleeping C．find that his sleeplessness was not really true D．find out why some old people didn't need any asleep ‎6．After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Al Herpin _______.‎ A．was too old to need any sleep B．needed no sleep at all C．often slept in a chair D．needed some kind of sleep ‎7．One reason that might explain Herpin's sleeplessness was _______.‎ A．that he hadn't got a bed B．that he had gradually got tired of the sleeping habit C．his mother's injury before he was born D．his magnificent physical condition ‎ C With the New Year weeks approaching, you’re looking forward to watching the splendid fireworks shows that will welcome 2019 worldwide. Unfortunately, visually impaired and blind people can’t experience this joyful celebration. That may change soon thanks to Feeling Fireworks, a fireworks experience invented by the Disney Research Lab in Switzerland.‎ To experience the show, users stand before a large flexible screen, place their hands at the base of the screen and move them around to feel the fireworks. Alternatively, their hands can be situated in the center of the screen, where the initial explosions happen, and then moved across to explore other fireworks.‎ As the fireworks begin to explode, five nozzles(喷嘴)at the back of the screen start to shoot water, creating movement of water imitating the show. One specializes in the "blooming flower effect", another reproduces the "crackle" effect, and the rest take care of rockets and explosions. A computer controls the timing, and Feeling Fireworks allows users to experience fireworks similar to those in the sky.‎ Paul Beardsley, who led the research team, says, "We want blind, visually impaired, and sighted people to all try Feeling Fireworks, and to have a shared and enjoyable memory of a fireworks evening."And the screen displaying the vivid images created by water makes it fun for everyone.‎ The low-cost technology is still in its early stage, with only a 66 percent success rate. However, the team plans to continue improving the experience and believes the day when everyone will be able to enjoy the thrill of fireworks shows is not far. When ready, Feeling Fireworks will initially（最初，首先) be available only at the Disney theme parks, and then hopefully, at fireworks shows worldwide.‎ ‎8. How will Feeling Fireworks help blind people?‎ A. By improving their sight to see fireworks.‎ B. By playing the sound of fireworks for them.‎ C. By enabling them to feel the fireworks by hand.‎ D. By planting a chip into their brains to see things.‎ ‎9. Why is water sprayed at the back of the screen?‎ A. To create the effect of fireworks. B. To keep the screen clean of dust.‎ C. To protect visitors from being hurt. D. To lead the way for the fireworks.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined word "it" (in Para. 4) refer to?‎ A. Staying in company with blind people. ‎ B. Watching the nozzles behind the screen.‎ C. Finding the initial firework explosions. ‎ D. Enjoying the grand fireworks show.‎ ‎11. What can we infer about Feeling Fireworks technology?‎ A. Research into the technology cost a lot.‎ B. It needs improvements for a good success rate.‎ C. It has been put to use at the Disney theme parks D. It's expected to replace real fireworks one day.‎ ‎ D Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor, a younger and less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.‎ One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she was. Maria gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company. Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.‎ During the interview, Mr. Petri said, “You’re just the kind of person we need here. You’ve being wasted in your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. I’m sure we can find a place for you in our organization.” Martha was so happy that she almost danced out of the building.‎ That afternoon, Ruth Kenny, her supervisor, saw that Martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch hour and she said, “Oh, so you finally decided to come back to work today?”‎ This was the last straw. She could not take another insult. Besides, Mr. Petri was right: she was being wasted in this job.‎ ‎“Look,” she said angrily, “if you don’t like the way I work, I don’t need to stay here. I’ll go where I’m appreciated! Goodbye!” She took up her things and stormed out of the office.‎ That night she called Maria and told her what had happened and then asked Maria, “What do you think?”‎ ‎“Well,” said Maria carefully, “are you sure about the other job?”‎ ‎“Well, not exactly, but...” ‎ Maria continued, “Will you be able to get a recommendation from Ms. Kenny if you need one?”‎ ‎“A recommendation?…from Ms. Kenny?” hesitated Martha, in a worried tone.‎ ‎“Martha, I hope you didn’t burn your bridges,” Maria said. “I think I would have handled it differently."‎ ‎12. Martha is unhappy in her job because _____.‎ ‎　　A. she has not been promoted ‎ ‎　　B. the work is not significant ‎　　C. her supervisor is younger than she ‎ ‎　　D. there is too much work with little payment ‎ ‎13.

Here are some tips to get you started.‎ The first step in breaking bad habits is to identify them. Only after identifying them can you decide to do something about them. 16 For example, you may ask yourself: Is the habit holding me back from achieving my goal? Does the habit make me feel good or bad? ‎ ‎ 17 Then you may listen to the things that people say about you. Are people saying the same negative things about you? It’s easy to become defensive when someone says something about us we don’t like, and let’s face it. 18 ‎ Once you have identified your bad habits, it’s time to break them. First, you should introduce something new and meaningful in your life to replace the bad habit. 19 If you hung around at the bars after work, replace it by going to the gym instead. Or if you sat and watched TV for hours, you may work on a task that needs to be done.‎ ‎ 20 Write down the efforts you make to change them, and also the results of your actions. And write down how you feel when you successfully change one of your bad habits. If you can read and reflect on how you feel about the progress you’ve made, it may motivate you to continue to work on changing other things.‎ A. Sometimes you may need advice on breaking bad habits from other people.‎ B. First, you may ask yourself how you feel about a habit.‎ C. You may come up with a plan to break your bad habits.‎ D. Meanwhile, keep a diary of the bad habits you desire to change.‎ E. Sometimes the truth hurts.‎ F. Otherwise there is an empty space in your life where the bad habit could go back.‎ G. There are times when it can be difficult to identify your bad habits.‎ II.完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I remember one of my last few years at an amusement park.
