Passage 1 
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: 
  After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body
recovers from the activities of the previous day. (76) The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare
itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your
muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level,
your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you
will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly ( although
your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. 
 
(77) If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believed www.58en.com

Passage 2 
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: 
Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages. 

(78) In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one.
With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All
they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some
people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have
use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has
everything presented to him without any effort on his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current
events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought
right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything 58英语
is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost
physical charm for us. 58en.com
