Lights off at midnight means time to bed for most students who live in dormitories.

However, quite a few students, with school bags on their shoulders, enter the classroom to begin night-long studies.

This is a familiar scene a some universities, especially during the days before exams.

Although the classroom buildings close at midnight and lights are cut off, many students still come, bringing many emergency lamps with them.

Other students who sit up all night would choose to go to nearby restaurants that are open 24 hours.

“I felt cold, hungry and sleepy,” a fourth-year girl student said about her night-long study in a restaurant. “So I ordered food several times and took a few naps during the long, long night.”

Another student said that he lived to stay up late: I find myself simply suited for working late at night. I become excited and clear-headed after midnight; but I always feel drowsy during the day…”

Most of the students who stay up late are boys, for their dormitory buildings are open all night. Girls’ dormitories are closed at 11 o’clock.

Most are there for academic reasons-studying for exams or writing a paper. A few come because they feel gloomy(沮丧)or suffer from insomnia(失眠的)and want to pass the time in a well-lighted place.

45.Which of the following is RIGHT?

A.The school authorities encourage students to have night-long studies.

B.Those who go to classrooms during the night time are all for studies.

C.Before exams, all students have night-long studies.

D.It is more convenient for boy students to enter dorms at a later time.

46.According to the girl student,         .

A.a night-long study in a restaurant doesn’t seem so good

B.a night-long study in a restaurant can be very efficient

C.we can see that she has experienced a sleepless night

D.a night-long study in a restaurant seems better than in classrooms because you can get food easily after you feel hungry

47.The word “drowsy” in the seventh paragraph probably means “        ”.

A.even more excited   B.sleepy C.happy D.bad

48.The writer’s opinion of the night-long studies is         .

A.supportive  B.opposed

C.encouraging  D.none of the above

For thousands of years, we have looked for ways to measure time. Early humans found that the regular movements of the sun, the earth, the moon and the stars made good ways to measure time. The rising and setting of the sun were used to distinguish day from night.

But, eventually, people needed to tell time more accurately, or exactly. So, by using the sun's position in the sky, they divided the day into dawn, morning, midday and evening.

Then it was noted that the sun cast a changing shadow as it moved across the sky. Time could be told more accurately by setting up a stick and making the positions of the sun's shadow. It was the ancient Greeks(古希腊人)who divided each position of this "sundial(日)" into hours. But the sun doesn't always shine.  So far the past 6,000 years, many other ways of keeping time have been tried. Slow-burning candles were divided into hours, and the hourglass was invented. When all the sand in the top of an hourglass has shifted(过滤)， to the bottom, an hour has passed.

Later, the pendulum(钟摆), with its regular back-and-forth movement of weights, was used to move the hands on a clock pendulums are still used in grandfather clocks.

Today, even more accurate clocks are in use, such as battery-operated quartz clocks, digital clocks and clocks run by electrical turning forks(音叉)and tiny atoms(原子). These atomic clocks are the most accurate clocks ever invented. The exact time can be kept to within one second a century.

49.When something is very exact, it is said to be __________.

A.slow  B.accurate  C.fast  D.of poor quality

50.Humans in the old days used ________to tell day from night.

A.the rising and setting of the sun  B.battery-operated quartz clocks

C.atomic clocks   D.digital clocks

51.A sundial works by __________.

A.tracking the movement of the stars around the sun

B.marking a shadow cast by the moving sun

C.burning candle in the sunlight

D.watching the stars

52.Which of the following was NOT used in the past to measure time?

A.An hourglass.  B.A sundial.  C.Digital clocks.  D.A pendulums.
