摘要： What is the biggest challenge shi is facing? B. 根据文章内容完成下列表格.It seems that no one really knows why we sleep. There are two theories, but a theoryis only an idea or a guess. Even scientists don’t know if these theories are correct or not.One theory of sleep is called the “Repair Theory . This theory says that during the day we use many important chemicals in our bodies and brains(脑). So we need sleep to make new chemicals which we use the following day.Another theory is called the “Adaptive Theory . This theory says that sleep developed gradually and naturally because on the one hand it stopped early humans and animals from wasting energy, on the other hand it kept themselves out of danger from the other animals that killed and ate them. In other words, sleep kept them safe and out of trouble. It was necessary for their survival.Whatever the reason for sleep, everyone sleeps and everyone dreams every night. Many times we don’t remember our dreams, but we still dream. Like sleep, no one knows exactly why we dream or what dreams mean. There have been many theories about dreams. Many cultures believe that dreams can foretell the future that they can tell us what will happen to us. Some psychologists and psychiatristsbelieve that dreams tell us about our feelings and desires.However some scientists now believe that dreams mean nothing at all------dreams are caused by the electrical activity in our brains while we sleep and our brains try to make a story out of these meaningless patterns. In fact, the dreams seem crazy and without meaning sometimes because they are crazy and without any meaning at all.TheoryMain ideasRepair Theory84 Adaptive Theory85 Three different opinions about dreamsa. 86 b.

Dear Helen,
Thanks for your last letter. Yes, I'm enjoying myself on my exchange program in France. It's even
better than I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be.
My host family is really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. And you wouldn't believe
how quickly my French has improved! I'm very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make
lots of mistakes, it doesn't bother me as it used to. My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the
dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really not the same as the way they are at home. For example,
you're not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You're supposed to put it on the table! I thought that
was pretty strange at first, but now I'm used to it. You're not supposed to eat anything with your hands
except bread, not even fruit! (You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.) Another thing is that it is very
rude to say you're full. If you don't want any more food, you should just say, "It was delicious." Also, it's
rude to put your hands in your lap. You should always keep your hands, but not your elbows, on the table.
I have to say, I find it difficult to remember everything, but I'm gradually getting used to things and don't
find them so strange any more. I'll write soon and tell you more about life in France. Hope you're having a
good school year.
Yours,
Mei Fei

阅读下面短文，然后从其后各题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。
When his doctor told nine-year-old Michael Milton he would lose his left leg to bone cancer (骨癌) in
1982, one of the first questions he asked was: "Will I still be able to ski?"
Soon, Milton, who grew up in a skiing family and had hit the hillside from the age of three, saw a video
of a one-legged skier that would change his life. After missing a winter of sport following his operation (手术),
the Australian young man gave it a try.
By 14, Milton was skiing in his first international competition (国际比赛), the 1988 Winter Olympic
Games at Innsbruck, Austria. Just four years on, he became Australia's first gold medal (金牌) winner in France.
But trying to make a living from the sport he loved seemed to be a far more icy matter. For year, Milton
had to do his best to make ends meet, mending cars, working as a gardener and in ski shops. At one point he
was so poor that he needed to win a place in an American skiing competition to win enough money for the plane
ticket home.
But the skier who can hold his own in able-bodied speed-skiing events, thinks overcoming (克服) low
public expectations of what people with disabilities (残疾) can do is a greater obstacle (障碍) than being poor.
It's a problem that he is meeting with all the time.
He says most people with disabilities don't want to be treated differently than others. "It's the environment
around you that helps you to try. My biggest goal is to raise (提高) the expectations of the public as to what
people with disabilities can do."
Milton has won 10 Olympic and 11 world championship (锦标赛) medals and in April last year became
the world's first disabled person to ski at more than 200 km/h, reaching a surprising 210.4 km/h. His next goal
is the record of 212.26 km/h held by Australia's fastest able-bodied skier, Nick Kirshner. He'll then be the fastest
Australian skier ever.

Pollution
Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn't have modern machines.
There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution (污染). Water pollution has
made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and polluted our drinking water. Noise pollution makes
us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It's
bad to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that
it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog(烟雾).
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it
is thrown away, they mustn't blow dirty smoke into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the
ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving,
there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.
