40、一个禁令不允许我们需要睡眠。在工作的时候，没有人愿意被发现在打瞌睡或在睡觉。引用一个谚语：有的人睡 5 个小时，正常情况需 7 个小时，懒惰者需 9 个小时，堕落者需 11 个小时。由此可知，美国人认为过多的失眠是不合理的。并不是罪恶的，有害的，昂贵的。故答案为 A17. 【答案】C【解析】推断题。美国人都普遍缺乏睡眠，他们的睡眠欠缺和国债一样不可小觑。可见，美国认为睡眠少对他们有益，这样可以做更多的事情。故答案为 C18. 【答案】D【解析】主旨题。由第二段 The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need th

46、ll the passengers，谓语是 were sent to，空白处所要填的词是用来修饰主语的。主语 all the passengers 和选项中的 findinjured 这一动词之间的关系为被动 事故中的乘客被发现受伤，所以在表示被动语态的 C 和 D 中选；从表示过去时态的谓语 were sent to 又可以发现该句描述的是过去发生的事，而 C 中的 to 是一个表示将来的动词不定式符号，所以选 D。D 中的 found 是 find 的过去分词，后置做定语，相当于一个从句 that/who have been found injured。27The big fire las
47、ted as long as 24 hours _ it was brought under control.Aafter Bbefore Csince Dwhile答案 B 解析。该题考查语法：时间状语从句。该句意为：大火在得到控制前持续了整整 24 个小时。空白处前后皆为主谓完整的句子，由此可见空白处所需的为一个连词，而四个备选项皆可做连词，只不过语义以及主从时态略有区别。after 在之后，before 在 之前，since 自从 ，while 相当于 when，当 。since引导的时间状语从句，一般情况下，从句谓语动词用一般过去时，而主句的谓语动词用现在完成时，与该题时态不符，所以排除，其余三个选项依其语义来看，before 最符合28In this workshop, the output of July was three times _ of January.Athat Bthis Cone Dit答案 A 解析。该题考查语法：英文倍数的表达方法之一：the+计量名词+of+A+be+ 倍数+that+of+B 。该句意为：这间工厂七月份的产量是一月份的三倍。29Seeing her father come back, _.Atears ran down her cheeks Bher tears ran outCshe burst into tears
