As we know, heavy rain is the 37 of floods, and in Malaysia, most of the 38 are caused by the annual monsoon (一年一度的季风), which brings heavy rain to the east coast. If, 39, the rain could be made 40 in the South China Sea, there would be 41 floods since the rain clouds would not reach the east coast. Is it possible to make 42 give up their rain? Yes, it is. As you 43 know, clouds are caused 44 air containing water-vapor. The air rises and, since water-vapor becomes water when it cools, very tiny drops of water are formed.

The big drops are no longer able to float because of their 49, and they fall. As they 50, they pick up more drops and become bigger. This is the cause of rain.

A. 6345 2345 B. 6345 7843 C. 6234 4567 D. 6098 7888 BSuppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing 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 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 programmed 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, 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 horses 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 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. 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 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 are 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 consideration 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, especially 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 been 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 difficult 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, 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
