by saying what does not cause our dreams Our dreams do not come from another world They are not messages from some outside source They are not a look into the future either All our dreams have something to do with our emotions fears longings wishes needs and memories But something on the outside may affect what we dream If a person is 3 hungry or tired or cold his dreams may include a feeling of this kind If the covers on your body such as a quilt or a blanket have slipped off your bed you may dream that you are sleeping or resting on the ice and snow The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experiences you have today So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping feeling of cold a noise a discomfort etc and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now This is why very young children are likely to dream of fairies 仙女 older children of school examinations hungry people of food homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom To show you how that is happening while you are asleep and how your wishes or needs can all be joined together in a dream here is the story of an experiment A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbent cotton 脱脂棉 He would dream that he was in a hospital and his charming girl friend was visiting him sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hand There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream and what those dreams mean Their explanation of dreams though a bit reasonable is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true In other words a dream is a way of having your wishes carried out 41 Our dreams A are simply messages from another world B are a curious look into the future C have little connection with our emotions wishes or needs D are to some degree caused by some of our feelings 42 If the covers have slipped off your bed you may dream that A something comfortable happens to you B you are staying in freezing surroundings C some people are making noise D you have nothing on at all 43 When the back of a man s hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbent cotton in the experiment he would dream that A his hand was being struck by someone B his hand was gently touched by his sweetheart C his hand was badly hurt by something D somebody was wiping sweat off his body 44 When a person feels hungry he is likely to dream of A wonderful fairies B lovely young girls 4 C fine food and drinks D his family members Passage Two How men first learnt to invent words is unknown in other words the origin of language is a mystery All we really know is that men unlike animals somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings actions and things so that they could communicate with each other and that later they agreed upon certain signs called letters which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down Those sounds whether spoken or written in letters we call words The power of words then lies in their associations the things they bring up before our minds Words become filled with meaning for us by experience and the longer we live the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past and the more we read and learn the more the number of words that mean something to us increases Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal 有感染力 powerfully to our mind and emotions This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style Above all the real poet is a master of words He can convey 传达 his meaning in words which sound like music and by their association can move men to tears We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately or they will make our speech silly and vulgar 45 We will make our speech silly if we A use words carefully B use words in a literary style C use words without accuracy D use words with caution 小心 46 One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings was that A they could express actions and things B they could communicate with each other C they could agree upon letters D they could write and combine them 47 What is true about the words A They are used to express only thoughts and feelings B They are signs C They are simply sounds D They can only be written 48 Which of the following statements is not true A The more we read and learn the more the number of words mean something to us B The more we read and learn the more knowledge we will acquire C The more we read and learn the more learned we are D The more we read and learn the more illiterate we become Passage Three Today a pilot is totally dependent on what the air traffic controller on the ground tells him He can t see enough to be safe Flightwatch is an instrument intended to help him On a screen in front of the pilot there will be a map of the airspace around the plane The pilot s 5 own flight level or height and his own plane at the centre of the screen will show up On the map any other planes in the airspace will appear as blobs 点状 of light with tails showing the direction of their flight The Flightwatch map is unusual for the other planes are not shown at their true ranges 范围 but at their distances away in flying time That gets over the problem of fast planes being too far away to be seen but likely to make contact in seconds and slow planes that are close enough to be seen but so slow that there s no chance of contact for say ten minutes The pilot will be able to see on the screen whether another plane s course conflicts 冲 突 with his own The screen will show him the flight number of the other plane so he can contact air traffic control and ask them about the other plane s course Then he can take avoiding action if necessary The screen will show him whether his action puts him in danger from yet another aircraft Technically the system will be quite complex Computers will be necessary on the ground and in each aircraft to enable Flightwatch to collect data about the planes courses and to calculate the distances between planes But such small computers are now quite cheap simple and reliable 可靠的 49 A pilot is dependent on for his safe flight A Flightwatch B the air traffic controller in the plane C the command of the air traffic controller on the ground D the pilot himself 50 can help the pilot to keep contact with the air traffic controller A A computer B The screen C Flightwatch D The passage doesn t mention it 51

herself of tension by resting the body breathing deeply and relaxing for three to four minutes before a test Attention to details such as outlining note taking and time scheduling will help free mental energy to work on the tasks of learning Planning one day ahead on a pocket calendar has done as much to improve the grades of some students as memory or speed reading courses 53 The main idea of this passage is that A anyone is capable of learning to rid himself or herself of tension B Planning ahead will help ward 避免 off anxiety attacks C Tension and anxiety are obstacles to learning D
