题目内容

11．Dreams are expressions of thoughts，feelings and events that pass through our minds while we are sleeping．People dream about one to two hours each night．We may have four to seven dreams in one night．Everybody dreams．But only some people can remember their dreams．
The word"dream"comes from an old word in English that means"joy"and"music"．We dream in color．Our dreams often include all the senses-smells，sounds，sights，tastes and things we touch．Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again．These repeated dreams are often unpleasant．They are bad dreams that sometimes frighten us．
Artists，writers and scientists sometimes say they get ideas from dreams．For example，the singer Paul McCartney of the Beatles said he awakened one day with the music for the song Yesterday in his head．The writer Mary Shelley said she had a very strong dream about a scientist using a machine to make an animal come alive．When she woke up，she began to write her book about a scientist named Frankenstein who made a frightening monster（妖怪）．
In China，people believed that dreams were a way to visit with family members who had died．Some native American tribes（部落） and Mexican civilizations believe dreams are a different world we visit when we sleep．

28．How do people feel when they dream the same dream？D

2．
"Any apple today？"，Effie asked cheerfully at my window，．I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo．On credit，of course．Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just them．
All pretense （借口）of payment was drooped when our funds，food and fuel decreased to alarming lows．Effie came often，always bringing some gift：a jar of  peaches or some firewood．There were other generosities．A
Effie was not a rich woman．Her income，derived from investment she had made while running an interior decorating shop，had never exceeded﹩200 a month，which she supplemented by selling her apples．But she always managed to help someone poorer．
Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time．She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year．"Here，darling，"I said，"is what I owe you，"F"Give it back as I gave it to you-----a little at a time．""I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt．
The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie，for she died a few weeks later．By now，the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times．But a curious thing began to happen．CAt that time，it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled．So the account can never be marked closed，for Effie's love will go on in hearts that have never known her．
19．Their beautiful call suggests the arrival of spring，but the routes taken by cuckoos（杜鹃） during their annual migration（迁徙） have remained a mystery．Now，though，scientists from the British Trust for Omithology（BTO） have revealed the details of their remarkable 10，000-mile journey，with the help of tracking devices．
Five male birds were caught in Norfolk last May and fitted with satellite-tagged"backpacks''before being released．The scientists then monitored their progress over 12months as they flew to Africa in the autumn，and returned in the spring．
The project was carried out to discover why every year fewer of the birds return to Britain．Between 1995and 2010，the population of cuckoos spending summer here fell by almost half，and the number is continuing to decline．Previously，the lack of information about the cuckoos'long migration has hampered the understanding of how to help conserve the birds．
Earlier this year，it was reported that cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal．Their call was recorded by ornithologists（鸟类专家） as early as February，a month ahead of their usual arrival．
Like all migrating animals，cuckoos respond to the changing seasons．They depend on lush plants to provide the fruit and food for insects that they feed on．This reliance on seasonal patterns means that a changing climate could make an already challenging journey impossible for them．

32．What is the main purpose of the project？D
A．To track cuckoos'10，000-mile journey．
B．To better understand the habits of cuckoos．
C．To find out what happens during cuckoos'journey．
D．To discover why the population of cuckoos is declining．
33．The underlined word"hampered"in Paragraph 3 probably meansA．
A．prevented    B．deepened    C．improved   D．affected
34．When do cuckoos usually arrive in Britain？C
A．In January．B．In February．C．In March．D．In April．
35．Cuckoos arrived in the UK much earlier than normal probably because ofB．
A．1acking food
B．changing climate
C．changing routes
D．cold spring in the UK．

One day，I was cooking in the kitchen while the telephone rang．I went to answer it immediately．She was my close friend，Lisa．When we were talking on phone，the fire alarm sounds．I ran back to the kitchen only to find the room full of smoke and the beef bad burnt．I quickly turned off the gas，opening all the windows，and then went out of the house．In my surprise，the two fire engines were outside my house．I was quite worrying．I told the firemen that it was my careless cooking which caused the heavy smoke．
16．Jobs quickly became bored with college．He liked being at Reed，just not taking the required classes．In fact he was surprised when he found out that，for all of its hippie aura，there were strict course requirements．When Wozniak came to visit，Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained，"They are making me take all these courses．"Woz replied，"Yes，that's what they do in college．"Jobs refused to go to the classes he was assigned and instead went to the ones he wanted，such as a dance class where he could enjoy both the creativity and the chance to meet girls．"I would never have refused to take the courses you were supposed to，that's a difference in our personality，"Wozniak marveled．
Jobs also began to feel guilty，he later said，about spending so much of his parents'money on an education that did not seem worthwhile．"All of my workingclass parents'savings were being spent on my college tuition，"he recounted in a famous commencement address at Stanford．"I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out．And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life．So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay．"
He didn't actually want to leave Reed； he just wanted to quit paying tuition and taking classes that didn't interest him．Remarkably，Reed tolerated that．"He had a very inquiring mind that was enormously attractive，"said the dean of students，Jack Dudman．"He refused to accept automatically received truths，and he wanted to examine everything himself．"Dudman allowed Jobs to audit classes and stay with friends in the dorms even after he stopped paying tuition．
"The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me，and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting，"he said．Among them was a calligraphy class that appealed to him after he saw posters on campus that were beautifully drawn．"I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces，about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations，about what makes great typography great．It was beautiful，historical，artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture，and I found it fascinating．"
It was yet another example of Jobs consciously positioning himself at the intersection of the arts and technology．In all of his products，technology would be married to great design，elegance，human touches，and even romance．He would be in the fore of pushing friendly graphical user interfaces．The calligraphy course would become iconic in that regard．"If I had never dropped in on that single course in college，the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts．And since Windows just copied the Mac，it's likely that no personal computer would have them．"
In the meantime Jobs decked out a bohemian existence on the fringes of Reed．He went barefoot most of the time，wearing sandals when it snowed．Elizabeth Holmes made meals for him，trying to keep up with his obsessive diets．He returned soda bottles for spare change，continued his treks to the free Sunday dinners at the Hare Krishna temple，and wore a down jacket in the heatless garage apartment he rented for $20 a month．When he needed money，he found work at the psychology department lab maintaining the electronic equipment that was used for animal behaviour experiments．Occasionally Chrisann Brennan would come to visit．Their relationship sputtered along erratically．But mostly he tended to the stirrings of his own soul and personal quest for enlightenment．
"I came of age at a magical time，"he reflected later．"Our consciousness was raised by Zen，and also by LSD．"Even later in life he would credit psychedelic drugs for making him more enlightened．"Taking LSD was a profound experience，one of the most important things in my life．LSD shows you that there's another side to the coin，and you can't remember it when it wears off，but you know it．It reinforced my sense of what was important-creating great things instead of making money，putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could．"

3．1 If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands，you might have a hard time believing the news：e-mail is on the decline．
At first blush，that might seem to be the case．The incoming generation，after all，doesn't do e-mail．Oh，they might have an account．They use it only as we would a fax machine：as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites．They rarely check it，though．
Today's instant electronic memos-such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages-are more direct，more concentrated，more efficient．They go without the salutation（称呼语）and the signoff；we already know the"to"and"from．"Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason：more signal，less noise and less time．This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated．Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later，I can now send you an unobtrusive，easily-consumed message that you can read-and respond to-on the go．
The decline of e-mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era．Instantaneous（及时）written messages are different．These are neatly tailored to fit in just about any time：before a movie，in a taxi，waiting for lunch．And because these notes are invariably brief，they're a natural for smartphone typing．With these formats，you also have control over who can correspond with you，which you usually don't in e-mail．And especially on Facebook，instant messaging can take on the character of a chat room，where several people can talk at once．
Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history？Not necessarily．E-mail still has certain advantages．Whereas tweets and texts feel ephemeral-you read them，then they're gone，into an endless string，e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file，search and return to later．It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications：agreements，important news，longer explanations．
So，e-mail won't go away completely．Remember，we've been through a transition like this not so long ago：when e-mail was on the rise，people said that postal mail was dead．That's not how it works．Postal mail found its smaller niche，and so will e-mail．Technology rarely replaces an institution completely； it just adds new avenues．
E-mail down，messaging up．Now go clean out your in-box．
 
62．What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts？C
A．Contact close friends
B．Send long messages
C．Fill in some forms
D．Communicate with their colleagues
63．Paragraphs 3-4 are important to the passage in that theyB．
A．illustrate the preferences of the young generation
B．explain the possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail
C．reveal the rapid development of e-communication channels
D．offer evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages
64．What does the underlined word"ephemeral"in paragraph 5 mean？D
A．Conveniently-sent          B．Randomly-written
C．Hardly readable               D．Short-lived
65．What does the author think of e-mail being replaced？A
A．Negative            B．Indifferent         C．Ambiguous        D．Doubtful．
20．Something about the four World Famous StatuesThe Little Mermaid
The statue The Little Mermaid sits on a rock in the Copenhagen harbor at Langelinie in Denmark．Tourists visiting for the first time are often surprised by the relatively small size of the statue．The Little Mermaid is only 1.25 meters high and weighs around 175kg．designed by Edvard Eriksen，the statue was erected in 1913 to commemorate（纪念）the fairy tale The Little Mermaid．The poor lady has lost her head several times but each time it has been restored．Copenhagen officials announced that the statue may be moved further out in the harbor，as to avoid further vandalism（故意破坏）and to prevent tourists from climbing onto it．
David Statue
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture sculpted by Michelangelo from 1501 to 1504．The 5.17meter marble statue portray the hero after his victory over Goliath，Michelangelo chose to represent David before the fight contemplating（沉思）the battle yet to come．To protect it from damage，the famous statue was moved in 1873 to the Accademia Gallery in Florence in Italy，where it attracts many visitors．A replica was placed in the Piazza della Signoria，at the original location．
Great Sphinx
Located at the Giza Plateau near Cairo in Egypt，the Great Sphinx is one of the largest and oldest statues in the world，but basic facts as who was the model for the face，when it was built，and by whom，are still debated．It is the largest monolithic（独块巨石的）statue in the world although it is considerably smaller than the pyramids around it．Despite conflicting evidence and viewpoints over by the years，the traditional view held by modern Egyptologists at large remains that the Great Sphinx was built in approximately 2500BC by the Pharaoh Khafre，the supposed builder of the second pyramid at Giza．
Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty，a gift from the people France to celebrate the centennial of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence，stands upon Liberty Island and is one of the most famous symbols in the world．It represents a woman wearing a stole，a radiant crown and sandals，trampling a broken chain，carrying a torch her raised right hand and a tabula ansata tablet in her left hand．The construction of the statue was completed in France 1886until the jet age，it was often one of the first glimpses of the United States for millions of immigrants．

1．Your best friends may just be your worst enemies，especially when it comes to young women checking out images of their friends on social media sites．
This is according to a recent study carried out by researchers at the Center for Emotional Health at Macquarie University，Australia．The study found that young women are much more likely to be affected by images of their friends on social media than those of celebrities（名人）in traditional media．
A hundred and fifty female undergraduate students were questioned in five daily surveys over a five-day period．The students were asked questions such as whether they had compared their appearance with someone were asked questions such as whether they had compared their appearance with someone else's，and whether they made that comparison after looking at social media，traditional media or in person．
Results showed that young women are more likely to compare their appearance with that of their peers'（同龄人的）images on social media than those of models'or movie stars'in traditional media．Most students thought others looked better than them on social media．This led some to diet and exercise，although the majority of those who did were not overweight and didn't need to do so．
The negative effect images of skinny models in mass media has on young women is a well-known source of concern throughout the world，but social media appear t make things worse．
Jasmine Fardouly，lead researcher in the study，explained why social media might be more damaging than traditional media．
"Celebrities may seem more distant and their appearance may have less influence than people you work with or see regularly，"she told The Guardian．
In Fardouly's opinion，people could unfollow or avoid those who post highly improved images of themselves．This may reduce how often people think others look more attractive than them on social media．
But more critical （批判的）thinking may also do the trick．"When surfing social media，it may be helpful for people to stop and think about the motivation behind each post and question how realistic each image is，"Fardouly wrote on news site The Conversation．

59．"Your best friends may just be your worst enemies"，becauseC．
A．your friends might hurt you badly when you become their enemy
B．you feel unhappy because your friends look more attractive than you in person
C．your friends beat you in appearance when you compare their images on social media
D．you disappoint your friends because you don't look better on social media than on traditional media
60．The reasons why more young women are dieting or exercising are as follows EXCEPT thatB
A the skinny models on TV have some influence on them
B．celebrities in traditional media have a far greater influence on them
C．they concern more about their images online with the widespread use of social media
D．they tend to compare and compete after they see their friends'images on social media
61．The underlined phrase"do the trick"in the last paragraph probably meansA
A．meet the desired result
B．make people feel worse
C．remind people of something
D．develop people's interest．
