　　Attention all Chinese challengers to the Indian with the world's longest ear hair(4 inches)or the Americans who smooched(拥抱)their way to the world's longest kiss(30 hours, 59 minutes, 27 seconds)－your day has come．And this time it's official．

　　The Guinness Book of World Records landed in China on Thursday, bestowing 10 awards on record-breaking people and places and for the first time permitting a local firm to look for more．

　　The London-based institution has a law case against a Shanghai company which borrowed the Guinness label, said Stewart Newport, the Keeper of the Records．

　　"It's unfortunate that some people may have been misled, but hopefully this will correct it," he said．

　　Guinness has signed an agreement with the Liaoning Education Press, based in the northeastern city of Shenyang, to publish the Chinese-language edition of its record book and review applicants for future editions, Newport said．

　　Guinness first published its record book in 1955．The reference now claims to be world's best selling copyrighted book with sales of more than 94 million copies in 37 languages－only the Bible, not exclusively copy written, has sold more．

　　Most of China's new record-holders were long overdue．

　　They include athletes like diver Fu Mingxia, who became the world's youngest sporting champion at the tender age of 12 in 1991 and is unlikely ever to be beaten．

　　And since July, 1980, a movie house has been screening the classic "Love on Lushan Mountain" four times a day, everyday, to tourists in the picturesque Jiangxi province setting which gave the film its name．Guinness researchers took more than two months to determine to their satisfaction that no other theater had continuously shown the same film as long．

[　　]
A．	she was the most famous athlete in the world

D．	it had continuously shown the same film every day since July, 1980

(3)

B．	The Bible is the best selling copyrighted book in the world．
C．	Liaoning Education Press was admitted to be included in Guinness Book of World Records．
D．	If you want to be included in the Guinness Book of World Records, you can apply for it with your local government．

(4)

Which is the best title of the passage?
[　　]
A．	The Guinness Book of World Records
B．	Guinness to Look for More Records in China
C．	Guinness Includes New Records
D．	The Chinese in Guinness

答案：1．C;2．D;3．A;4．B;
解析：

(1)	细节题。根据短文倒数第二段的内容可知：年轻的世界冠军、跳水运动员伏明霞，1991年，12岁的她就已经成为了世界冠军。这一记录今后也不太可能被打破。
(2)	细节题。根据最后一段的内容可知：吉尼斯世界记录组织的工作人员用了两个月的时间进行跟踪调查，最后确定没有其他电影院播放一部电影的时间跨度能与之相匹敌。
(3)	事实判断题。根据短文倒数第三段“Most of China's new record-holders were long overdue”一句可知：在《吉尼斯世界记录大全》正式来到中国之前，中国地区的大部分世界记录保持者却久久没有被记录在册。
(4)	主旨题。短文在第一、二段中明确指出：吉尼斯世界记录组织现已正式来到了中国，并首次向国内10项破记录的个人和地点颁发证书，同时还首次授权一家中国机构搜集更多的世界记录。由此推断可知。

　　Suppose we built a robot(机器人)to explore the planet Mars．We provide the robot with seeing detectors(探测器)to keep it away from danger．It is powered entirely by the sun．Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times?No．The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any．So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning．

　　According to the evolutionary(进化的)theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason．The theory does not deny(否认)that sleep provides some important restorative functions(恢复功能)．It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous．However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us．So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent．

　　The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures．Why do eats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little?Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do．But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep．Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value．Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival(生存)depends on their ability to run away from attackers．

(1)

[　　]

(3)

According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ________．
[　　]
A．	are worrying about our safety
B．	are overworked
C．	are in a tent
D．	are away from home

(4)

Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ________．
[　　]
A．	need more time for restoration
B．	are unlikely to be attackers
C．	axe more active than homes when they are awake
D．	spend less time eating to get enough energy

(5)

　　Our boat floated on, between walls of forest too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains．Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed：where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore．In any case, what would we have sailed by landing?The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures, and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way．So we stayed in the boat, hoping we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization．

　　We lived on fish, caught with home-made net of string(we had no hooks), and fruits and nuts we could pick up out of the water．As we had no fire, we had to eat everything, including the fish, raw I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience; perhaps sea fish which do not live in the mud are less tasteless．After eating my raw fish, I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice-cream．In the never-ending damp heat of the jungle, ice-cream was a particularly frequent dream．

　　As for water, there was a choice：we could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst．We drank the water．Men who had just escaped what had appeared to be certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water．In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result．

　　One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us．We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time：we might not be so lucky to escape in a stolen boat again．

(1)

[　　]
A．	the mud on the shore was too soft
B．	the forest was too thick to let them go through
C．	they could not find the mark on the map
D．	they could not find anyone to lead them out of the forest

(3)

[　　]
A．	rich of fruits and animals to be served as food
B．	not very thick as they could advance slowly by cutting the branches
C．	full of various dangerous beings
D．	full of ancient trees
