Cloze Test
The normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours'
sleep 1 （江南博哥） with some 16-17 hours' wakefulness and that the sleep normally coincides 2 the hours of darkness. Our present 3 is with how easily and to what extent
this 4 can be modified.
The question is no mere academic one. The ease
with 5 people can change from working in the day to
working at night is a 6 of growing importance in industry where automation 7 round—the-clock working of machines.
It normally 8 from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a 9 routine of sleep and wakefulness,
sleeping 10 the day and working at night. 11 it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week.
This 12 that no sooner has he got used to one
routine 13 he has to change to another, 14 much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very 15 .
One answer would seem to be 16 periods on each shift, a month, or even three months. 17 , recent research has shown that people on such systems will revert to go back to
their 18 habits of sleep and wakefulness during the week-end and that this is quite enough to destroy any 19 to
night work built up during the week. The only real solution appears
to be to hand over the night shift to those permanent night workers whose 20 may persist through all weekends and holidays.

B.circle

工人们刚调整过来的作息时间又得换回去，这显然是“不幸地”。

in comparison意为“比较”；in a word意为“总之”；therefore意为“因此，所以”，意思上不符合原文，所以选C。

12.

B.meaning
C.meant
D.means
正确答案：D

C.when
D.as
正确答案：A
[解析] 本题为语法题，考查连词的固定搭配用法。

no sooner...than...表示“一……就……”。

B.Similarly
C.In short
D.So
正确答案：A
[解析] 本题考查对上下文的理解。

前文提到了较长的转换期，这相对于一个星期来说会好一些，但它同样有不足之处。

18.
A.favourite
B.temporary
C.normal

C.return
D.change
正确答案：B
[解析] 本题考查名词的固定搭配和对句子的理解。

adaptation (to)指“(对……的)适应性”，在文中提及人类作息时间转换的适应性时，用的都是adapt；而tendency意为“倾向，趋势”，所以选B。

20.

正确答案：A
[解析] 本题是考查名词辨析题。

With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the
most 41 issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent to
murder, 42 others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.
The principal argument 43 by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and
inhuman 44 , that it is the mark of
a 45 society, and finally that it is
of 46 effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway.
In our opinion, the death penalty is a 47 evil. Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were 48 of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others.
For example, it is one thing to 49 the life of another in a fit of blind rage, 50 quite another to coldly plot and 51 the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder 52 all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction, that the 53 in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of
the 54 type murder.
The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate. But the 55 majority of citizens believe that he death penalty protects them. Their belief is 56 by evidence which shows that the death penalty deters
murder. 57 , from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was 58 imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been 59 only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murders for each 100,000 population. The sharp climb in the state's murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no 60 .

Traffic is a perennial problem in Hong Kong. Over the years many suggestions have been 61 to ease transport difficulties. These include from constructing wider roads and an underground railway 62 to staggering hours for schools to open and close. One official report pressed 63 for working hours to be spaced out to 64 congestion at 65 periods. In England and other countries this system is called staggering working hours' because many business centers use it. It
is 66 that greater working 67 can be achieved, employees are happier because they can arrange 68 personal working hours, buses and trains can be dispatched at
suitable 69 , and so on. The idea of 70 working
days follows on from staggering hour.
Land in Hong Kong is extremely expensive, yet 71 and large, offices are empty at weekends and most evenings, too. This appears to be a waste of valuable assets and seems 72 in a place noted for its business 73 . 74 , Saturday and Sunday working is not easy. Church-going and family needs can't be 75 , but it should be remembered that many already work at 76 hours. Nurses, firemen, doctors, pilots, TV
stars, 77 , have to come to grips with the problems. It seems 78 to assume that others could do the same. In fact they might find some 79 in having a day or
