题目详解:要点：根据问题中‘Which of the following statements is NOT true’提供的信息判断题，从第1段最后一句中‘He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle’提供的信息确定，选项中的‘Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.’符合本题句意要求。

The temperature of the Sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The Sun is so much hotter than the Earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except all the core. In the core of the Sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the Sun can never be directly observed.

Solar astronomers do know that the Sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the Sun, the zones are the corona (光环圈), chromospheres (色环层), photosphere, convection zone, and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the Sun's atmosphere. But since the Sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the Sun begins.

The sun's outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the Sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the Sun's rays.

The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full Moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona's rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy (稀疏的) spikelike (穗状的) rays near the Sun's north and south poles. The corona is the thickest at the sun's equator.

The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the Sun's corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible.

1. With what topic is the second paragraph mainly concerned?

A . The structure of the Sun. B . How the Sun evolved.

C . Why scientists study the Sun.

D . The distance of the Sun from the planets.

提交的答案:The structure of the Sun. 正确答案:The structure of the Sun. 题目详解:主旨题。第二段的第一句话 “Solar astronomers do know that the Sun is divided into five layers or zones”为此段中心句，作者提出，太阳可分为5层或是5个区。然后后面的就围绕着这五个区展开论述。这是关于太阳结构的说明所以答案应为The structure of the Sun.

2. As it is used in the passage, the word \A . a scarlet gaseous envelope surrounding the Sun B . the luminous envelope of gas surrounding the Sun C . the mixture of gasses that surrounds any planet or star

D . the luminous irregular envelope of highly ionized gas outside the chromospheres of the Sun

提交的答案: a scarlet gaseous envelope surrounding the Sun 正确答案:the luminous envelope of gas surrounding the Sun

题目详解:语义题。文中关于 “photosphere 的说明只在第二段后半部分见到：作者指出，太阳从外到内分别是corona(日冕)，chromospheres(色环层)，和photosphere，然后作者又指出 “The first three zones are regarded as the Sun's atmosphere.” photosphere也是太阳大气层中的一层，所以它应该是一种气体。[a scarlet gaseous envelope surrounding the Sun]说它是一种 “气体状包层”。不够准确。 the mixture of gasses that surrounds any planet or star内容与本文无关，错误。 the luminous irregular envelope of highly ionized gas outside the chromospheres of the Sun项将photosphere和chromospheres的位置搞反了，也错。

3. All of the following are parts of the Sun's atmosphere EXCEPT the_________. A . chromospheres B . core

C . photosphere D . corona

提交的答案:core 正确答案:core

题目详解:细节理解题。该题的理由在58题中已经阐明了，太阳的大气层只包括了corona， chromospheres和photosphere这三个部分。

4. According to the passage, as the corona rays reach the planets, they become_________. A . hotter B . thinner

C . clearer D . stronger

提交的答案:thinner 正确答案:thinner

题目详解:细节理解题。根据第五段第二行 “The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets.”当射线到达行星外层时，就会变弱，所以 thinner为正确答案。

5. The paragraphs following the passage most likely discuss which of the following? A . The evolution of the Sun to its present form. B . The remaining layers of the Sun. C . The eclipse of February 1979.

D . The scientists who study astronomy.

提交的答案:The remaining layers of the Sun. 正确答案:The remaining layers of the Sun.

题目详解:推断题。通过对文章的结构分析，我们可以发现第二段中作者对太阳的构造做了总的论述。它共分为五层。后三段接着了日冕，是对第二段内容的展开，显然后面应该继续介绍太阳的其他层。

New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It's now a \where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills. Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople that have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts. Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being \sure that the overseas effort is central to the company's plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent. Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn't generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal. The employee posted abroad who speaks the country's principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the

cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.

In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of the inadequacies of the judicial system in the United States. Costs are staggering both for the taxpayers and the litigants - and the litigants or parties, have to wait sometimes many years before having their day in court. Many suggestions have been made concerning methods of improving the situation, but as in most branches of government, changes come slowly.

One suggestion that has been made in order to maximize the efficiency of the system is to allow districts that have an overabundance of pending cases to borrow judges from other districts that do not have such a workload. Another suggestion is to use pretrial conferences, in which the judge meets in his chambers with the litigants and their lawyers in order to narrow the issues, limit the witnesses, and provide for a more orderly trial. The theory behind pretrial conferences is
