听力原文： A calendar is a kind of chart that is used to keep tracks of days, months, and years. The ancient calendars of China were sometimes divided into 12-year cycles. Each year in the 12-year cycle had the name of an animal. There were twelve animals that were used to name the 12 years of the cycle. These animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and boar. You can figure out the animal for any year if you remember the animals' names in this order.
There were two common areas of significance that the Chinese calendar was used in. One area of its use was in selecting a marriage partner. For example, a woman who was born in the year of the dog was perfectly suited to a man who was born in the year of the rabbit. Another use for the calendar was in selecting a profession. For example, a person born in the year of the dragon might be good for the medical profession, but not for the legal profession.

Many, many centuries ago, large distances were measured in the Babylonian mile. The Babylonian mile equaled about seven of our miles. Because of its length, the time needed to travel the Babylonian mile became a measure of time. One day was said to be twelve Baby-Ionian time-miles.
About one thousand years before Christ, the Babylonians began keeping records of star movements. They needed a way to record how much time passed between the moment they first saw a star and then observed it again. They used the Babylonian time-mile as their measure of time.
In order to have small units of time, the Babylonians divided their time-mile into thirty parts. The Babylonians believed that each trip around the sky was a circle. One complete trip around the sky, they reasoned, took one day.
You already know that one day was the same as twelve Babylonian time-mile. Since each time-mile was divided into thirty parts, the circular trip around the sky was 12×30, or 360 parts long. That is how there came to be 360 4egrees in a circle.
The purpose of this passage is to explain ______.
A．how the Babylonians measured the time of star movements
B．why the circle is divided into 360 degrees
C．the Babylonian mile and the Babylonian time-mile
D．the Babylonians' ideas about the sky

Thousands of people got stuck in lifts. Martin Saltzman spent three hours between the 21 st and 22nd floors of the Empire State Building. "There were twelve of us. But no one panicked. We passed the time telling stories and playing word games. One man wanted to smoke but we didn't let him. Firemen finally got us out."
"It was the best night we've ever had. "said Angela Carraro, who runs and Italian restaurant on 42nd Street. "We had lots of candles on the tables and the waiters were carrying candles on their trays. The place was full -- and all night, in fact, for after we had closed, we let the people stay on and spend the night here."
The zoos had their problems like everyone else. Keepers worked through the night. They used blankets to keep flying squirrels and small monkeys warm. While zoos had problems keeping warm, supermarkets had problems keeping cool. "All of our ice cream and frozen foods melted," said the manager of a store in downtown Manhattan. "They were worth $ 50 000."

disappears and recuperation begins. The tired mind gathers new energy, and the memory improves.
Some adults require little sleep; others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four hours. Infants sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily, the amount gradually diminishing as they grow older. Young students may need twelve hours; university students may need ten. A worker with a physically demanding job may also need ten, whereas an executive working under pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people have little sleep. Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Edison and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night.
Whatever your individual need, you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total more than twelve years. By the age you will also have developed a sleep routine: a favorite hour, a favorite position, and a rule you need to follow in order to rest comfortably.
Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours nearly five days. Whatever the limit, it is absolute. Animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human beings is probably about a week.
(1).By writing this passage, the writer intends to tell us that _______.
A、sleep is important for good mental and physical health
B、a light sleep is as restful as a deep sleep
C、memory is improved during sleep
D、sleep is relatively unimportant for human beings
(2).The amount of the sleep required may ___.
A、tire an individual mind
B、help infants grow older
C、apply pressure on an executive
D、that they didn’t sleep long
(3).If a person is not allowed to follow his own sleep routine, he will probably _____.
A、never fall sleep
B、not sleep well
C、lost his memory
D、begin to daydream
(4).The author implies that if human beings are kept awake for more than a week the result _____.
A、is hard to imagine
B、will probably be a mental breakdown
C、is difficult to describe
D、will probably be dead
(5).From the amount of sleep Napoleon, Edison, Darwin required, we can conclude ___.
A、 that they were famous
B、 that they were executives
C、 hat they were intelligent
D、 that they didn’t sleep long
Mr. and Mrs. Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey (新泽西) in the past, staying in a small inn (旅店) at the foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business. So they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went travelling around that famous city.

A．had often stayed in a big hotel in New Jersey
