1、What Do Dreams Tell Us?Why do we dream? Do dreams have meanings? These are questions which have troubled man fｏｒthousands of years. The oldest surviving book on the interpretation of dreams is Egyptian ａｎｄ　is nearly 4,000 years old. In ancient Greece, it was thought that people who were ill could be cured by telling their dreams. They would relate their dreams to their doctors who would tell them what they meant ａｎｄ　then give them medicine to make them well. The ancient Chinese believed that if a pregnant woman dreamed of a bear, she would have a son, ａｎｄ　if she dreamed of a snake, she would have a daughter. There are many stories about dreams foretelling (预言) the future.We certainly do not now believe that dreams foretell the future. Most scientists believe that dreams are based on events in our own life ａｎｄ　on our feelings. The events are usually very recent, mostly within the last two days. Our emotions, on the other hａｎｄ　our wishes, hopes ａｎｄ　fears may go back many years, even to early childhood.In a dream, events are altered. A dream may contain parts of many real-life events. Most importantly, something that cannot be shown directly may be shown indirectly. Fｏｒexample, you might dream of driving a large car. This could mean not that you want to have a larger car, but that you desire power, ａｎｄ　maybe you want to control other people. Again, you may dream that you are an actｏｒin a play. The play is about to start, but you have completely forgot your lines. This dream may seem strange because you are not interested in acting, ａｎｄ　you never want to be in a play. But the dream may mean that you have some other problem that you feel is too difficult fｏｒyou to solve.Psychologists believe that dreams may be helpful to us. Indeed, people who have been allowed to sleep in experiments, but not allowed to dream, have become anxious ａｎｄ　restless. ａｎｄ　when they are later allowed to sleep as much as they like, they dream more than ever to make us fｏｒthe lost "dream time".

A.Structure ａｎｄ　interpretation of a dream

B.Ancient views on dreams

C.Babies dream less than older children

D.Dreaming may be good fｏｒour health

E.Dreams can not foretell the future

F.Healthy people do not dream

正确答案:B

2、Cell Phone Lets Your Secret OutYour cell phone holds secrets about you. Besides the names ａｎｄ　numbers that you\'ve programmed into it, traces of your DNA linger on the device, according to a new study.DNA is genetic material that ______ in every cell. Like your fingerprint, your DNA is unique to you- because you have an identical twin. Scientists today routinely analyze DNA in blood, saliva, ｏｒhair left behind at the scene of a crime. The results often help detectives identify criminals ａｎｄ　their victims. Your cell phone can reveal more about you than you might think.Meghan J. McFadden, a scientist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, heard about a crime in which the suspect bled onto a cell phone ａｎｄ　later dropped the device. This made her wonder whether traces of DNA lingered on cell phones even when no blood was involved. So she ａｎｄ　colleague Margaret Wallace of the City University of New York analyzed the flip open phones of 10 volunteers. They used swabs to collect invisible traces of the users from two parts of the phone: the outside, where the user holds it, ａｎｄ　the speaker, which is placed at the user\'s ear.The scientists scrubbed the phones using a solution made mostly of alcohol. The aim of washing was to remove all detectable traces of DNA. The owners got their phones back fｏｒanother week. Then the researchers collected the phones ａｎｄ　repeated the swabbing of each phone once more.The scientists discovered DNA that belonged to the phone\'s speaker on each of the phones. Better samples were collected from the outside of each phone, those swabs also picked up DNA that belonged to other people who had apparently also handled the phone. Surprisingly, DNA showed up even in swabs that were taken immediately after the phones were scrubbed. That suggests that washing won\'t remove all traces of evidence from a criminal\'s device. So cell phones can now be added to the list of clues that can clinch a crime scene investigation.【单选题】

A.appeal

B.appoint

C.appears

D.applies

正确答案:C

答案解析:这个句子的意思是：DNA是一种存在于每一细胞中的基因物质。根据这一理解，选项A、B、D均不能选作答案。

3、Did anyone call me when I was out?【单选题】

4、The Value of AdvertisementMoney spent on advertising is worth spending. It serves directly to bring about a rapid sale of goods at reasonable prices, so setting up a firm home market ａｎｄ　making it possible to provide fｏｒexport at good price. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demａｎｄ　it causes an increased need fｏｒlabor, ａｎｄ　is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television program would need to be doubled, ａｎｄ　travel by bus ｏｒsubway would cost more. ａｎｄ　perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products ａｎｄ　services you buy. Besides the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare produce anything that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people fｏｒa little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so fｏｒlong, fｏｒthe public has the good sense not to buy the poｏｒgoods more than once. If you see a product frequently advertised, it is the proof I know that the product does what is promised fｏｒit, ａｎｄ　that it has good value. Advertising does more fｏｒthe good of the public than any other force I can think of. There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television person declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was telling us the real difference. Of course advertising tries to persuade. If its messages were nothing but information, that would be difficult to get more people to buy, fｏｒeven the choice of the colｏｒof a shirt is a bit persuasive-advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television person wants.What is the meaning of "touch on" in Paragraph 4?【单选题】

A.Feel slightly.

B.Strike gently.

C.Write quickly.

D.Mention briefly.

正确答案:D

答案解析:前3段讲了广告好处，第4段提到了广告的说服作用和告知作用，但仅是提到而已没有展开讲解，因此选D。

5、Arctic MeltEarth\'s North ａｎｄ　South Poles are famous fｏｒbeing cold ａｎｄ　icy. Last year, however, the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean (北冰群) fell to a record low.Normally, ice builds in Arctic waters around the North Pole each winter ａｎｄ　shrinks(缩小) during the summer. But fｏｒmany years, the amount of ice left by the end of summer has been declining.Since 1979, each decade has seen an 11.4 percent ｄｒｅｐin end of summer ice cover. Between 1981 ａｎｄ　2000, ice in the Arctic lost 22 percent of its thickness, becoming 1.13 meters thinner.Last summer, Arctic sea ice reached its thinnest levels. By the end of summer 2007, the ice had shrunk to cover just 4.2 million square kilometers. That\'s 38 percent less area than the average cover at that time of year. ａｎｄ　it\'s a very large 23 percent below the previous record low, which was ｓｅｔjust 2 years ago. This continuing trend has made scientists concerned to.There may be several reasons fｏｒthe ice melt, says Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer (海洋学家)at the University of Washington in Seattle. Unusually strong winds blew through the Arctic last summer. The winds pushed much of the ice out of the central Arctic, leaving a large area of thin ice ａｎｄ　open water.Scientists also suspect that fewer clouds cover the Arctic now than in the past. Clearer skies allow more sunlight to reach the ocean. The extra heat warms both the water ａｎｄ　the atmosphere. In parts of the Arctic Ocean last year, surface temperatures were 3.57 Celsius warmer than the average ａｎｄ　1.5c warmer than the previous record.With both air ａｎｄ　water getting warmer, the ice is melting from both above ａｎｄ　below. In some parts of the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska ａｎｄ　western Canada, ice that measured 3.3 meters thick at the beginning of the summer was measured just 50 cm by season\'s endThe new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than the thinking of scientists. Some scientists fear that the Arctic is stuck in a warming trend.It can be learned from the last sentence that ______.【单选题】

A.the ice melt in the Arctic may never stop

B.scientists are trying hard to stop the ice melt in the Arctic

C.scientists are delighted to find out what is going on in the Arctic

D.the warming trend in the Arctic can be reversed in the near future

8、The Book of LifeSo far, scientists have named about 1.6 million living species, ａｎｄ　that\'s a just a fraction of that probably exists on Earth. With so many plants, animals ａｎｄ　other creatures coveting the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is moving up your leg ｏｒwhat kind of bird is flying by.A soon - to - be - started Web site might help. An international team of researchers has announced the creation of Web - based Encyclopedia of life( EOL). The project aims to catalog every species on Earth in a single, easy - to - use reference guide.To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific ｄａｔａｂａｓｅs that already exist. ａｎｄ　eventually, in special sections of the site, nonscientist with specialized knowledge will get to join in. Bird - watchers, fｏｒexample, will be able to input which bird they\'ve seen ａｎｄ　where. The technology fｏｒthis kind of tool has only become available.As the EOL develops, you might find it useful fｏｒschool projects. The site will feature special pages fｏｒkids who are studying ecosystems (生态系统) in their neighborhoods. To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it. People who visit the site will be able to choose to leave out pages that haven\'t been reviewed.Another convenient feature of the EOL is that you\'ll be able to pick the level of detail you want to see to match your interest, age ａｎｄ　knowledge. If you wanted to learn about bears fｏｒa science class report, fｏｒexample, you could use the "novice" setting to get basic information about the animals. On the "expert" setting, on the other hand, you could get much more detailed information about the history, literature ａｎｄ　exploration of bears.It now takes years fｏｒscientist to collect all the data they need to describe ａｎｄ　analyze species. The creatｏｒof the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed up that process.The goal of the creation of the EOL is to ______.【单选题】

A.collect enough data to analyze the living species on Earth

B.work out an easy -to - use catalog of every living species on Earth

C.enlarge an existing Web site of the living species on Earth

D.add new information to the existing ｄａｔａｂａｓｅs of the living species on Earth

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要读懂句意。带着题干信息词回文章定位，答案依据主要在文章第二段后面两句：An international team of researchers has announced the creation of Web - based Encyclopedia of life( EOL). The project aims to catalog every species on Earth in a single，easy - to - use reference guide.谈到了物种百科网站创建的目的，回来看选项，B项和原文句意相近，是答案。

10、Sharing SilenceDeaf teenagers Orlando Chavez ａｎｄ　German Resendiz have been friends since kindergarten (幼儿园). Together the two boys, who go to Escondido High School in California, have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak ａｎｄ　hear.Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one. German was born deaf, ａｎｄ　his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language. He met Orlando on their first day of kinder garten."We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids," German remembered. "Before then, I didn\'t know I was deaf ａｎｄ　I was different.""Being young ａｎｄ　deaf in regular classes was very hard," signs Orlando. "The other kids didn\'t understａｎｄ　us ａｎｄ　we didn\'t understａｎｄ　them. But we\'ve all grown up together, ａｎｄ　today, I\'m popular because I\'m deaf. Kids try to communicate with me."Some things are very difficult fｏｒthe two boys. "We can\'t talk on the phone, so if we need help, we can\'t call an emergency service," German signs. "ａｎｄ　we can\'t ｏｒｃｅｒfood in a drive - thru."Despite of their difficulties, the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket.They got their jobs through a "workability" program, designed fｏｒteenagers from local schools with different types of learning disabilities.German has worked in the supermarket since August, ａｎｄ　Orlando started in November."The other people who work here nave been very nice to us," Orlando signs. "They even sign sometimes. At first, we were nervous, but we\'ve learned a lot ａｎｄ　we\'re getting better."The opportunity to earn money has been exciting, both boys said. After high school, they hope to attend the National Technical Institute fｏｒthe Deaf in New York.The word "emergency" in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ______.【单选题】
