4.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

  • 第3题:

    Earle Dickson worked for a company manufacturing gauze and tape called Johnson & Johnson. We will never know the reason, but it is a fact that his wife, Josephine Dickson, always had some minor accidents. During the first week of their marriage, she hurt herself twice with the kitchen knife. After that, it just went from bad to worse. It seemed that Josephine was always cutting herself. One day Earle Dickson had an idea. He sat down with some tape and gauze and a pair of scissors. Then he cut the tape into strips. In the middle of each strip he stuck a little square of gauze. From then on, whenever Josephine had an accident, ready-made bandages were on hand for her to use quickly and without a lot of fuss. At Johnson & Johnson, people heard about these new bandages which could be put on in thirty seconds. Soon the company started to try these bandages on the market. Slowly they were accepted by the public. Four years later, in 1924, the company installed machines for mass producing the new product, with the trade name BAND-AID.

  • 第6题:

    Do you have any idea what you would like to be and do after graduation? A lot of people don′! begin thinking about careers until they reach junior or senior year, which, in my opinion, is too late.
    When people are trying to decide what they want to do, it helps to know something they love. Ever since I was little, I′ve always been doing someone′s hair, make-up or nails, starting with Barbie dolls and progressing to humans. Over the years my family has really inspired me to do this and now I fix friends′ and family members′ hair for weddings, dances and other big events.
    I have been thinking about what I would like to do for a career since middle school. I did some research and discovered that I might really enjoy being a cosmetologist, so I went to my hair stylist and asked her lots of questions about what it takes to reach her level and what she would recommend I do. I considered her advice and then did more research.
    I used Aveda′ s website to get information on the Aveda Institute and what type of credit (贷款) I would need from high school to apply. I found their institute has three parts: theoretical knowledge, practical experience, and professional business-building skills. For the past few years, I have been looking at Aveda in more and more detail. This school not only offers cosmetology, but also massage therapy. I grew up in Minnesota (美国中北部的一个州), so I plan to apply to the institute in Minneapolis that several people have highly recommended. It helps students become "future industry leaders in hair care, skin care, makeup and total body wellness". It is affordable and everyone there is friendly and understanding.
    Having done the groundwork and thinking about what I′d like to do after high school, I know that I will definitely pursue my dream of becoming a cosmetologist.
    We know from the text that a cosmetologist is ___________.

    A.a chemist working at college
    B.a person who works in the institute
    C.a doctor in a hospital
    D.a person doing all types of body care for people

    答案:D
    解析:
    推断题。通过全文作者的描述,比如“It helps students become future industry leaders in hair care,skin care,makeup and total body wellness”等可知答案为D。

    第三篇

    The Body Thieves

    In the early nineteenth century in Britain,many improvements were being made in the
    world of medicine.Doctors and surgeons were becoming more knowledgeable about the
    human body.Illnesses that had been fatal a few years before were now curable.However,
    surgeons had one problem.They needed dead bodies to cut up,or dissect(解剖).This
    was the only way that they could learn about the flesh and bones inside the body,and the
    only way to teach new surgeons to carry out operations.
    The job of finding these dead bodies was carried out by an unpleasant group of people
    called "body snatchers". They went into graveyards(墓地)at night and, using wooden
    shovels to make less noise,dug up any recently buried bodies.Then they took the bodies
    to the medical schools and sold them.A body could be sold for between £5 and £10,
    which was a lot of money at that time.The doctors who paid the body snatchers had an
    agreement with them一they never asked any questions.They did not desire to know where
    the bodies came from,as long as they kept arriving.
    The most famous of these body snatchers were two men from Edinburgh called William
    Burke and Wil!iam Hare.Burke and Hare were different because they did not」ust dig up
    bodies from graveyards.They got greedy and thought of an easier way to find bodies.
    Instead of digging them up,they killed the poorer guests in Hare's small hotel.Dr Knox,
    the respected surgeon they worked for,never asked why all the bodies they brought him
    had been strangled(勒死).
    For many years Burke and Hare were not caught because,unsurprisingly,the bodies
    of their victims were never found by the police.They were eventually arrested and put on
    trial in 1829.The judge showed mercy to Hare and he was released but Burke was found
    guilty and his punishment was to be hanged.Appropriately,his body was given to the
    medical school and he ended up on the dissecting table,just like his victims.In one small
    way,justice was done.
    Now,over 1 50 years later,surgeons do not need the help of criminals to learn their
    skills.However,the science of surgery could not have developed without their rather
    gruesome(令人毛骨惊然的)help.

    The body snatchers used wooden shovels because
    A: they did not wish to spoil the dead bodies.
    B: they wanted to keep the bodies to themselves.
    C:they were afraid of being caught.
    D: they were careful not to disturb anyone.

    答案:C

    Why did Bezaq’s international branch lose 40% of its market share?
    A

    B

    Because customers were dissatisfied with its past service.

    C

    Because the service offered by its competitors was far better.

    D

    Because it no longer received any support from the government.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    推论题。文章说以色列服务水平提高是公司间的竞争引起的,而百扎克公司虽已提供了竞争费,但仍失去了40%的市场,其原因是第二段第四句“people wanted revenge for all the years of bad service”,故B为答案。

  • 第10题:

    单选题
    In context, which of the following is the best revision of sentence 3 (reproduced below)?That thing that makes them want to do it is called an incentive, and what makes them not want to do them would be a disincentive.
    A

    It is an incentive making someone want to do something, and a disincentive making them not want to do it.

    B

    An incentive is what makes someone want to do something, and a disincentive is what makes someone want to avoid doing something.

    C

    Incentives make someone want to do things, but disincentives are the things making them not want to do it.

    D

    People are made to want to do something by incentives, and a disincentive is for not wanting to do it.

    E

    It is incentives that make people want to do something, disincentives on the other hand being what makes people want to avoid doing something.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    这个句子是明确“incentive,disincentive”的定义。A使用代词it,没有一个清晰地先行词,且使用两个不恰当的分词短语。C的定义冗杂,使用代词it,没有一个明确的先行词。D和E的定语既不符合平行结构也不恰当。只有B的定义最有效最简洁。

    问答题
    Almost all Americans want to be democratic, but many Americans are confused about what, exactly, democracy means. How do you know when someone is acting in a democratic or an undemocratic way? Recently several groups have spoken out with particular bitterness against the kind of democracy that means equal opportunity for all, regardless of race or national origin. They act as if all human beings did not belong to one species, as if some races of mankind were inferior to others in their capacity to learn what members of other races know and have invented. Other extremists attack religious groups—Jews or Catholics--or deny the right of an individual to be an agnostic. One reason that these extremists, who explicitly do not want to be democratic, can get a hearing even though their views run counter to the Constitution and our traditional values is that people who do want to be democratic are frequently muddled.

    正确答案:
    几乎所有的美国人都崇尚民主,但是许多美国人并没有搞清民主到底指的是什么。怎么知道某人的行为是民主的还是不民主的呢?最近,一些团体愤愤不平地反对民主,即不分种族国籍,人人机会均等的观点。他们这样做就好像说所有的人类并不属于同一种群,好像某些人种在学习其他人种的经验和发明创造方面的能力不如别人。另外一些极端分子攻击宗教团体——犹太教或天主教——或否认个人信奉不可知论的权利。尽管这些明确表示不想要民主的极端分子的观点同宪法及传统的价值观念背道而驰,他们仍然能够得以陈述自己的观点,其原因就是崇尚民主的人们通常也是糊里糊涂的。

    What did the writer want her mother to do earlier that day?
    A

    Do something delicious for lunch.

    B

    Taste her bad lunch.

    C

    Dismiss the mad cook.

    D

    Speak to the school about lunch.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    根据第三段“Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the bad lunches that were served at school.”结合倒数第二段妈妈知道饭菜确实不好吃后的反应和最后一句“mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!”可推知,我那天早些时候求妈妈向学校反映一下午饭不好吃的问题,D项符合文意。由后文可知作者家的饭菜是由厨师做的,不是妈妈做的,故A项错误;B项是作者计划的一部分,不是作者直接向妈妈要求的,故为错误选项;文章未提及要解雇厨师,故C项错误。

  • 第16题:

    C

    You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.

    When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.

    61. People communicate ________.

    A.with words only B.in many different ways

    C.in letters and drawings D.with smiles, tears and hands

    A、were to do
    B、could do
    C、had done
    D、did

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题考查动词的时态。从两个地方可看出来选什么时态。(1), 从“If wethe same things as we did in the past"可知,空白处要跟过去相比,言下之意是指现在及未来的做法,而选项中没有现在时,所以考虑将来时。(2),主句是weren'tgoing ...所以原因状语分句跟主句保持时态-一致,所以也用过去相关的时态,或者过去将来时,所以综合以上两点,将来时+过去时,即为:过去将来时,选A。从语义上看,题干意为:如果我们未来仍然沿袭过去的做法,那我们将永远也无法成功招到我们需要的人才。故本题选A.
