C
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Klaitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of the day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(独白)as: “Get up, John! You will be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realized what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Klaitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(阻碍)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.
64. If a person finds getting up early difficult, a problem most probably is______.
A. he is a lazy person
B. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C. he is not sure when his energy is low

Sometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch(门廊)will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions(预言)from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.
Most of the technology is available(可用的)now, but convincing(说服)more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspaper may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.
Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial(财经的)interests in the paper industry.
67. The best title for this passage is_______.
A. Computer Newspapers are Well Liked
B. Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on Computer
C. Newspapers Are out of Fashion
D. New Communications Technology

The Norwegian government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration(勘探)to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline, production limits have been laid down, and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems. And few people believe that the government will be able to hold things back for long.
Ever since the war, the government has been carrying out a program of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this program has had a great deal of success. Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.
The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 per cent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose most of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.
72. The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to_______.
A. provide more jobs for foreign workers
B. slow down the rate of its development
C. sell the oil it is producing abroad
D. develop more quickly than at present
（本题分值：2分）【正确答案】B
73. The Norwegian Government has tried to_______.
A. encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources
B. prevent oil companies employing people from Northern Norway
C. help the oil companies solve many of their problems
D. keep the oil industry to something near its present size
（本题分值：2分）【正确答案】D
74. According to the passage, the oil industry might lead in Northern Norway to_______.
A. the development of industry
B. a growth in population

D. the development of new towns
（本题分值：2分）【正确答案】D
75. In the south, one effect of the development of the oil industry might be______.
A. a large reduction in unemployment
