1.A dream is one kind of experience.It seems as real as something that actually happens; in it the dreamer takes actions and reacts.During dreams the body is asleep but the thinking part of the brain is wide awake.In fact, it is more active than it sometimes is when the body is awake.One group of researchers decided to see what would happen if they stopped people from dreaming.As soon as the electroencephalograph (脑电图仪) registered a dream pattern, researchers woke the dreamer.They did this all night for several nights, every time the person started to dream.The experiment revealed that people who were unable to dream became nervous, easily upset, and hungrier.As soon as they were able to sleep without interruptions they lost their nervousness and became normal again; however, they then had more dreams than usual.It was as if they were catching up on their dreams.To check these findings, the researchers carried on a control experiment.Again they woke people during the night, but during non-dreaming periods.These people did not change their daytime behavior.And when they were allowed to sleep without interruptions (打断), the number of their dreams did not increase.Experiments like these have caused scientists to ask if dreams serve a purpose.Researchers know, for example, that some people who go for days without sleep will suffer from hallucinations (幻觉).Certain people even begin to show signs of mental illness.Some researchers believe that people become this way because they cannot have their usual numbers of dreams.According to this theory dreaming helps people to lead normal lives.1).This passage is mainly about ________.A.people’s need for dreamsB.the damage dreams do to people’s healthC.dreams and realitiesD.the relationship between dreams and diseases2).According to the passage, dreams ________ .A.are considered to be people’s real experiencesB.help cure people of nervousness and mental illnessC.happen in the thinking part of the brainD.cannot go on as before after the dreamer is woken3).People who slept with interrupted dreams showed signs of the following sufferings EXCEPT________ .A.nervousnessB.anxietyC.hungerD.sleepiness4).When people were woken during non-dreaming periods, they ________.A.suffered from hallucinationsB.felt upset and nervousC.had more dreams than usualD.remained normal in their daytime behavior5).The sentence “It was as if they were catching up on their dreams” in Para.3 probably means ________.A.they seemed to do as their dreams dad told them toB.they seemed to make up for the losses of dreamsC.they seemed to dream less because of the interruptionsD.they seemed to sleep more after the interruptions

3.Passage FiveMany superstitious people are afraid of black cats. They believe that black cats have a strange power. If a black cat crosses their path, they think they will have bad luck.Black cats haven't always had such a bad reputation. Long ago, the Egyptians thought that black cats were holy animals. They even worshipped them. Pasht was an Egyptian goddess who had a woman's body and a cat's head. Because the Egyptians had so much respect for black cats, they often buried the sacred creatures with great ceremony. Mummies of cats have often been found in ancient cemetery ruins. To keep the cats company after they died, mice were sometimes buried beside them.Feelings about black cats have always been strong. People have thought they were either very good or very bad. The people of Europe, in the Middle Ages, believed black cats were the evil friends of witches and the Devil. Witches were said to have the power to change themselves into black cats. People believed that you could not tell whether a black cat was just a cat, or whether it was a witch disguising herself as she plotted some evil scheme. The brain of a black cat was thought to be a main ingredient in witch's brew.Unlike their ancestors of the Middle Ages, Englishmen today consider black cats to be good luck charms. Fishermen's wives often keep a black cat around so that their husbands will be protected when they are out at sea.52. The Egyptian goddess Pasht had a ______.A. woman's head and a cat's bodyB. woman's head and a lion's bodyC. cat's head and a man's bodyD. woman's body and a cat's head

    62._________
    A:. are
    B: be
    C: must be
    D: were

    答案:D
    解析:
    选项A构成一个动名词短语being threatened,与前面的humiliation和后面的physi- cal abuse共同构成介词including的宾语。其他选项都不能作为介词宾语。


    the已提示后面必须跟一个名词性的词项,单填responses在这里还不行,因为本题后面还跟有responses的时象,因此responses后面还要有介词to。填B构成短语re-sponses to a 13-page survey,意为“时一份有13页调查问卷的回答”。


    填analysis与survey并列作本句主语,既是语法的需要,也是修辞的需要。其他选项均不合适。


    关系代词who指代人,在从句中作主语。


    要弄懂整句的意思才能做出选择。这一句的意思是:“除了报告他们受虐待以外, 45%以上的住院医生还说他们至少还目睹过一例其他人填写假病历的情况。”只有填 in addition to才能符合这个意思。


    填had made在语法上表示“过去的过去”;被调查人“说”在句中是用一般过去时 (said),那么他们报告的情况发生在“过去的过去”。填B不行,因为have made表示的是以现在的眼光说明已发生的事。


    既然前面有a frequent,那么这里必然需要一个单数名词。event在语法和意义上都符合这个要求。


    选项A和B首先应该被排除,因为在语法上说不通。如填D,相关的意义是“10% 以上的住院医生说他们被允许不要有充足的睡眠”,好像他们自己不想多睡一会儿似的!只有C项才能表示不让他们睡够的意思。


    根据整句的意思,显然应该填without,指连续工作而得不到睡眠的时间。


    这句话由两个并列的句子构成,用but作转折连词。它的意思很清楚:前一句说的是正常情况,后一句说的是实际情况。填typical构成“一个典型的工作周”,意思就对了。其他的选项意思都对不上。


    要读懂整句的意思:30%的人怎么说,而大多数人反映的情况又是如何。In spite of 意思上也可以,但语法上不符,所以填Although就把这种转折关系说明白了。


    填were与主语they相一致,又与belittled构成被动语态。填are或be时态和语气不对,填must be意义又不对,因此选D项正确。


    填given与前面的being构成被动语态的动名词短语,作主语。填其他选项都不符合语法。


    填动名词having构成主语的一部分。


    只有A项才符合句子的意思。

    D.modify

    答案:B
    解析:
    adapt to“适应”。C.alter(改变)和D.modify(修改)不可与to搭配,可排除。A.turn to(求助于)不符合“收音机评论员试着适应电视这一新的媒体”这句话的意思。

  • 第7题:

    At that time, Marry and Linda were in a situation __________they had only one choice.

    A. that
    B. which
    C. when
    D. where

    答案:D
    解析:
    考查定语从句。句意为“此情此景,Mary 和Linda 只有一种选择”。先行词是situation,定语从句中主谓宾俱全,缺少的是地点状语即in the situation,故引导词应该用where,相当于in which,故D 为正确答案。

  • 第8题:

    Passage Two
    The thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people.The amount of sleep that each person needs varies.In general,each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy.Some people,however,can get by just a few hours of sleep at night.
    It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps.But everyone needs some rest to stay alive.Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this.Sleep is,after all,a very basic need.But a man named AI Herpin turned out to be a real exception,for supposedly,he never slept!
    A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey.They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept.But they were surprised.Though they watched him every hour of the day,they never saw Herpin sleeping.He did not even own a bed.He never needed one.
    The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen news-papers.His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia.Herpin offered the only clue to his condition.He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days be-fore he had been born.Herpin died at the age of 94,never having slept a wink.

    A1 Herpin's condition could be regarded as______

    A.normal
    B.curable
    C.healthful
    D.rare

  • 第9题:

    For centuries,philosophers and theologians have almost unanimously held that civilization as we know it depends on a widespread beliefin free will-and that losing this beliefcould be calamitous.Our codes of ethics,for example,assume that we can freely choose between right and wrong.In the Christian tradition,this is known as"moral liberty"-the capacity to discern and pursue the good,instead of merely being compelled by appetites and desires.The great Enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant reaffirmed this link between freedom and goodness.Ifwe are not free to choose,he argued,then it would make no sense to say we ought to choose the path of righteousness.The sciences have grown steadily bolder in their claim that all human behavior can be explained through the clockwork laws of cause and effect.This shift in perception is the continuation of an intellectual revolution that began about 150 years ago,when Charles Darwin first published On the Origin of Species.Shortly after Darwin put forth his theory of evolution,his cousin Sir Francis Gakon began to draw out the implications:If we have evolved,then mental faculties like intelligence must be hereditary.But we use those faculties-which some people have to a greater degree than others-to make decisions.So our ability to choose our fate is not free,but depends on our biological inheritance.Many scientists say that the American physiologist Benjamin Libet demonstrated in the 1980s that we have no free will.It was already known that electrical activity builds up in a person's brain before she,for example,moves her hand;Libet showed that this buildup occurs before the person consciously makes a decision to move.The conscious experience of deciding to act,which we usually associate with free will,appears to be an add-on,a post hoc reconstruction of events that occurs after the brain has already set the act in motion.In 2002,two psychologists had a simple but brilliant idea:Instead of speculating about what might happen if people lost belief in their capacity to choose,they could run an experiment to find out.Kathleen Vohs,then at the University of Utah,and Jonathan Schooler,of the University of Pittsburgh,asked one group of participants to read a passage arguing that free will was an illusion,and another group to read a passage that was neutral on the topic.Then they subjected the members ofeach group to a variety of temptations and observed their behavior.Would differences in abstract philosophical beliefs influence people's decisions?Yes,indeed.When asked to take a math test,with cheating made easy,the group primed to see free will as illusory proved more likely to take an illicit peek at the answers.When given an opportunity to steal-to take more money than they were due from an envelope of$1 coins-those whose beliefin free will had been undermined pilfered more.On a range of measures,Vohs told me,she and Schooler found that"people who are induced to believe less in free will are more likely to behave immorally."Another pioneer of research into the psychology of free will,Roy Baumeister of Florida State University,has extended these findings.For example,he and colleagues found that students with a weaker belief in free will were less likely to volunteer their time to help a classmate than were those whose belief in free will was stronger.Likewise,those primed to hold a deterministic view by reading statements like"Science has demoiistrated that free will is an illusion"were less likely to give money to a homeless person or lend someone a cellphone.




    Benjamin Libet?

    A.concluded that the illusion of free will can stimulate the development of society
    B.demonstrated that extra meaning of freedom was attached to some actions
    C.reassured the status of freedom as the foundation of justice.
    D.further improved that humans with less sense of free will were less likely to help others.
    E.believed our ability to be free was derived from ancestors.
    F.recognized many crimes were controlled by brains which were decided by genes
    G.found that people who believe less in free will are more likely to be unethical

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据Benjamin Libct定位到第三段。该段提到Benjamin Libet最后证明The conscious experience of deciding to act,Which we usually associate with free will,appears to be an add-on,a post hoc reconstruction of events that occurs after the brain has already set the act in motion(通常我们把决定采取行动这种有意识的经历与自由意志联系在一起,但这种经历似乎是附加的,是大脑已经启动行动之后所发生的一系列事件的事后重构),故B项为正确选项。

    正确答案: 1. one 句意:一些人生来就具有反叛精神,而查尔斯·达尔文就是他们中的一个。空格部分位于of them,应该填入代词one。
    2. all 前文提到了四个人物,这里应该指“全,都”的肯定意思,故填入all。
    3. likely be likely to do sth.为固定搭配,意思为“更有可能做某事”。这里使用了比较结构:be more likely than sb. to do sth.比某人更有可能做某事。因此该空填入likely。
    4. break 分析句子结构resist authourity后面使用了and连接空格部分,也就是说空格部分与resist authority并列,因此应该填入意思相近的词语。break new ground为固定搭配,意思为“开辟新天地”,符合该处语境。因此本题填入break。
    5. whether Sulloway claims that后面的宾语从句中,其主语为主语从句“…someone is an older or younger sibling”,whether...or...引导主语从句,表示“是……还是……”,符合此处语境,意思为“一个人是家里较年长的孩子还是较小的孩子”。因此此处填入whether。
    6. factor 句意:索罗卫声称,一个人是家里较年长的孩子还是较小的孩子,是形成性格的最重要的因素。根据语境可知,这里指的是形成性格最重要的因素,因此填入factor。
    7. than 此处为比较级结构,通过significant前面的more可知,此处需填入than。
    8. spent spend...(in) doing sth. 表示花时间做某事。此处为发生在过去的事情,因此填入spent。
    9. reach/draw reach a conclusion/ draw a conclusion得出结论。

    The Extended Family

    Mrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a 'new town' in the countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in Bethnal Green, an area of inner London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local authorities when her old house was demolished.

    She came from a large family with six girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen, they went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother than by herself, because she always worked.

    As the family grew, they moved out of their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their life was still that of the extended family. "All my family used to live around Denby Street," said Mrs Sharp, "and we were always in and out of each other's houses." When she went to the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day she would visit one sister or another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or in the market.

    "You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street everyday, either they were related to you or you were at school with them," she said.

    When her babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and neighbours would help – they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other way." And every Saturday night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's mother's house. "Of course we all know each other very well. You have to learn to get on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping. But you had to put up with everyone, whatever they were like."

    1.Why did Mrs. Sharp have to move to Greenleas? ()

    A.Because she had to work there.

    B.Because she didn’t like the old place at all.

    C.Because her house in the downtown area was knocked down.

    2.When she got married, she lived ______.

    A.together with her parents all the time

    B.together with her parents for some time

    C.far away from her parents’ house

    3.Why did she know so many people? ()

    A.Because she was easy going.

    B.Because they were either her relatives or schoolmates.

    C.Because she was good at making friends with people.

    4.The sentence “I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business.” in the last Para. means ______.

    A.I had one neighbour who was always warm-hearted.

    B.I had one neighbour who was always ready to help us.

    C.I had one neighbour who always showed her interests in our private affairs.

    5.What does this passage mainly deal with? ()

    A.What the extended family is like.

    B.The relationship between Mrs Sharp and her neighbour.

    C.How Mrs Sharp brings her children up.

    A项had made在语法上表示“过去的过去”,被调查人“说”在句中是用一般过去时 ( said),那么他们报告的情况发生在“过去的过去”。填B不行,因为have made表示的是以现在的眼光说明已发生的事。
    既然前面有冠词a,那么这里必然需要一个单数名词。event在语法和意义上都符合要求。
    本句意思是:10%以上的住院医生说他们不被允许有足够的睡眠。B项符合句意.be allowed to do sth.意思是“获准做某事”。其否定形式是在be动词后加not。
    根据整句的意思,应该填without , hours without sleep指连续工作而得不到睡眠的时间。
    这句话由两个并列的句子构成,用but作转折连词。前半句说的是正常情况,后半句说的是特殊情况。a typical week意为“一个典型的工作周”,符合句意。
    本句意思是:虽然30%的住院医生说他们遭受了一些形式的性骚扰或歧视,但是言语上的辱骂却被认为是最普遍的问题。Although意思是“虽然,尽管”,放在句首,可以引导让步状语从句。In spite of意思上也可以,但不符合语法。
    填were与主语they相一致,又与belittled构成被动语态。
    填given与前面的being构成被动语态的动名词短语,与其他并列成分共同作主语。
    填动名词having构成主语的一部分,与之前两个being为并列关系。

    56._________
    A:had made
    B:have made
    C:has made
    D:make

    答案:A
    解析:
    选项D构成一个动名词短语being threatened,与前面的humiliation和后面的physical abuse并列构成介词including的宾语。其他选项都不能作为介词宾语。
    the已提示后面必须跟一个名词性词项,单填responses在这里还不行,因为后面还跟有 responses的对象,因此responses,后面还要有介词to,构成短语responses to a 13-page survey,意为“对一份13页调查问卷的回答”。
    填analysis与survey并列作为本句主语,既是语法的需要,也符合文意。

    Passage Two
    The thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people.The amount of sleep that each person needs varies.In general,each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy.Some people,however,can get by just a few hours of sleep at night.
    It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps.But everyone needs some rest to stay alive.Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this.Sleep is,after all,a very basic need.But a man named AI Herpin turned out to be a real exception,for supposedly,he never slept!
    A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey.They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept.But they were surprised.Though they watched him every hour of the day,they never saw Herpin sleeping.He did not even own a bed.He never needed one.
    The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen news-papers.His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia.Herpin offered the only clue to his condition.He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days be-fore he had been born.Herpin died at the age of 94,never having slept a wink.

    问答题
    Directions:In this part, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.  Cosmetics have been used throughout history. The ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, and the Romans all used various kinds of makeup. Some of these cosmetics were used to improve their appearance. Others were used to protect their skin. But in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous, or even deadly!  Some of the first skin care treatments started in Egypt. In fact, Cleopatra was known to use them. She thought a bath in milk and honey left her skin silky smooth. Egyptians also developed some of the earliest sunscreens. They used oils and creams for protection against the sun and dry winds. Egyptian and other ancient cultures also used various powders on their skin for beauty. Egyptians used black kohl around their eyes. Romans put white chalk on their faces. And Indians painted red henna on their bodies.  Most of the ancient cosmetic powders, oils, and creams were harmless. But in the name of beauty, some people applied dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin. During the Italian Renaissance, women wore white powder made of lead on their faces. Of course, doctors now know lead is like a poison for our bodies.  Also around the time of the Renaissance, women in Italy put drops of belladonna in their eyes. Belladonna is a very poisonous plant. The poison in the plant affects the nerves in the body. By putting belladonna drops in her eyes, a woman’s pupils would become very large. People thought this made her more beautiful. Actually, this is why the plant is called belladonna. In Italian, belladonna means “beautiful woman.”  When Elizabeth I was queen of England in the late 1500s, some rather dangerous cosmetics were also used by women there. Women were using rouge made with mercury. They were also using special hair dye made with lead and sulphur. The dye was designed to give people red hair, the same color as the queen’s hair. Over time, the dye made people’s hair fall out. Finally, women using this dye ended up bald, like the queen, and had to wear wigs.  Summary:  Although people have used cosmetics throughout history, not all of them have been safe. In fact, some of them have been quite  1 to people. For example, long ago in Italian  2 , people thought women with big pupils were beautiful. Therefore, in the  3 of beauty, women began to put  4 of belladonna in their eyes to make their pupils larger. Today we know belladonna is poisonous, and it can affect the  5 in the body.

    正确答案: 1.dangerous. 文章第一段最后一句提到 But in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous,因而可以得知该题答案是dangerous。
    2.renaissance. 第四段提到意大利文艺复兴时期,女性喜欢大眼睛,因此答案是renaissance,表示“文艺复兴”时期。
    3.name. in the name 在……的名义下。in the name of beauty在美的名义下。
    4.drops. 文章第四段第一行指出women put drops of belladonna in their eye,摘要中应填写drops。
    5.nerves. 文章第四段第二句说明the poison in the(belladonna)plant affects the nerves in the body,因此答案是nerves,说明对人体的神经系统有害。
