24、 Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends，Kevin and Simon，while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didnt know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.We knew we were going to
25、 spend the weekend outdoors，but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime.

This is so
29、familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process (过程) is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant (连续的) darkness.
30、 We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from
31、 the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.This discovery (发现) may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals including man have this “inner clock” which controls the working of their bodies and influences (影响) t
32、heir activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power.

33、rent; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very useful, then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.71. A recent experiment showed that _. A.

36、airplane pilots is fast increasing D. we should try to live more naturally than we do now74. Kept in constant darkness, flowers _. A. will not open or close as usual B. will not open any longer C. will open as they do in natural conditions D. will always remain in full blossom (开花)75. _ have a myste
37、rious power of knowing time without information from the outside world. A. Animals including man as well as plants B. All living things except man C.
