30、eeing detectors(探测器) to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all the times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to

31、 wake up at dawn the next morning. According to the evolutionary theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative functions(恢复功能). It merely says that evolution has progra

32、mmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place,

33、but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent. The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for example, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as hor

34、ses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too

35、long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers. 56. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us _. A. the differences between robots and men B. the reason why men need to sleep C. about the need for robots to save power D.

36、about the danger of men working at night 57. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him _. A. keep up a regular pattern of life B. prevent trouble that comes looking for him C. avoid danger and inefficient labour D. restore his bodily functions58. According to the author, we

37、cannot sleep well when we _.A. are away from home B. are overworkedC. are in a tent D. are worrying about our safety59. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats _. A. spend less time eating to get enough energy B. are unlikely to be attackersC. are more active than horses when they ar

38、e awake D. need more time for restoration 60. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats.B. The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory.C. Sleeping patterns must be taken into considerat

39、ion in the designing of robots.D. Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking.CStudents claim that essay writing is easier if the given topic requires a stand or an opinion on a general topic rather than on a specific one. This may be true in some cases, especi

40、ally if the teacher requires writing about a personal opinion on a general topic compared to a specific topic. Finding substantial(主要的) resources for an assigned topic is also a challenging task.There are different types and topics for essays, but essay writing always has a basic format that has bee

41、n part of the writing tradition. The format includes the introduction, body of the essay, and the conclusion. Once the essay has the defined basic structure, the student can then experiment on the introduction, expand the body, and improve the conclusion based on facts. Essay writing is not as diffi

42、cult as one thinks it is.In some cases, some students who devote their time to essay writing prefer to write the body of the essay before the introduction and conclusion. This method is advantageous because at the beginning a student can input the facts from the researches and work on the main point

43、, sub points, and explanation of the sub points. For added literary style, some students include quotations(引用) from highly regarded people(author, politician, celebrities, etc. ) to intensify(加强) a literary effect.Some people claim that there are certain individuals who have the talent for essay wr

44、iting which is evident in some cases. Other students find essay writing an easy task, but practice writing of essays can contribute to an improved writing skill. Let all the creative juices flow for the meantime, then proceed to editing afterwards to check if the paper coincides with the rules that

45、the teacher has given.At the end of the day, constant practice improves a students writing and comprehension skills, not to mention his or her critical skills on taking one stand of an issue that requires sound presentation of arguments. Ones essay writing skills will definitely improve through read

46、ing of various sources such as scholarly journals, newspapers, books and even magazines of different genres. 61.
