PASSAGE A
The report came to the British on May 21,1941. The German battleship Bismarck, the most powerful warship in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England.
　　The British had feared such a task. No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower. The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns. She could move at 30 nautical miles（海里）an hour. She was believed to be unsinkable.
　　However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck. On May 24, the Hood found the Bismarck.
　　It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see. His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships.
　　The battle didn’t last long. The Bismarck’s first torpedo（鱼雷）hit the Hood, which went down taking all but three of her 1,419 men with her.
　　But in the fight, the Bismarck was slightly damaged（损坏）. Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the Germans. The British force followed her. However, because of the Bismarck’s speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.
　　For two days, every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck, but with no success. Finally, she was sighted by a plane from Ireland. Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her, the British fired at her from the air. The Bismarck was hit.
On the morning of May 27, the last battle was fought. Four British ships fired on the Bismarck, and she was finally sunk.

Passage B
    Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved everyone has a daily energy cycle.
    During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people, the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, John. You’ll be late for work again. ” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles means, and which cycle each member of the family has.
    You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Dr Kleitman believes that habit can help. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before at your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.
    Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
26.According to the writer, if a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably        .
A.he is a lazy person
B.he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C.he is not sure when his energy is low
D.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
27.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Man’s energy cycle can be changed easily
B.Some family quarrels are caused by unawareness of energy cycle.
C.Getting up early in the morning is not a piece of cake.
D.Everyone has a daily energy cycle but a lazy one.
28.If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should        .
A.change his energy cycle    B.overcome his laziness
C.get up earlier than usual   D.go to bed earlier
29.You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will        .
A.help you to keep your energy for the day’s work
B.help you to control your temper early in the day
C.enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D.keep your energy cycle under control all day
30.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.
B.Dr. Kleitman doesn’t explain why people reach their peaks at different hours of the day.
C.Habit helps one adapt to his own energy cycle.
D.Children have energy cycles, too.
