What Is a Dream?

For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact,

many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person's mind and emotions. Before modem times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from

God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a

scientific way.

The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expressions of a person's wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express

in real life.

The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was once a student of Freud' s. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to

communicate a message to the dreamer. He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams. For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand,

people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.

Modem-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz, believes that

dreams are tightly linked to a person's daily life, thoughts, and behavior. A

criminal, for

example, might dream about crime.

Dornhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is

a mental skill that needs time to develop.

He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting. This is not true of women's dreams. 3 Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modem and traditional ones.

Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. However, one thing they agree on this: If you dream that

something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It's important to

remember that the world of dreams is not the real world. 第16题 Not everyone agrees that dreams are meaningful. A. Right B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

第17题 According to Freud, people dream about things that they cannot talk about. A. Right B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

第18题 Jung believed that dreams did not help one to understand oneself. A. Right B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

第19题 In the past, people believed that dreams involved emotions. A. Right B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

第20题 According to Domhoff, babies do not have the same ability to dream as adults do.

A. Right B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

第21题 Men and women dream about different things. A. Right B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

第22题 Scientists agree that dreams predict the future. A. Right B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

第3部分:概括大意与完成句子(每题1分,共8分)

下面的短文后有2项测试任务:(1)第23~26题要求从所给的6个选项中为指定段落 每段选择1个小标题;(2)第27~30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定一个最佳 选项。

Money or Friendship or Both

1 Friends and money don't mix. It's a dangerous combination since a fight over money is one of the fastest ways to end a friendship. But what if a friend asks you to

lend him or her some money? If you don't lend your friend the money, you risk losing the

friend. If you do lend your friend the money, you risk losing both the friendship and your money.

2 We have to face facts, so here are some situations you might run across with your buddies(伙伴) - and some helpful tips (忠告) on how to deal with them. Think about why this person needs to borrow in the first place. If he is always living beyond

his means, it's his fault, not yours. Any sensible person would not put himself in a

position of debt so often. So simply say \"no\" to this friend. Even if your friend really

needs that money for emergency use and you are willing to help him, before you dived into your pocket, follow this reality check: Do you have the extra money? Are you sure

you don't need it? Are you willing to write off that amount if it's not returned? If your

answers are negative, do yourself a favor and say \"no\".

3 Let's assume you can't stand saying \"no\" to your friend because you don't want him living off cat food. What do you do? Write down these details on a sheet of paper before opening up your wallet: Amount of the loan. Date of the loan. Time of repayment.

Amount of interest (if any).

Lender's and borrower's signature.

This will at least keep the borrower from forgetting the loan so easily. If your friend's loan is past due, it's important that you ask him - and it's actually not rude. The longer

you wait, the more you brood (忧伤), and the more your resentment builds.

4 You can send him a friendly reminder via e-mail. Tell him something like 'Tm going

over my bank account and I'm just wondering when we'll be able to settle that money thing.\" E-mail saves you from an uncomfortable face-to-face confrontation. There is

almost no chance of turning a bad reaction into an argument. Unlike a public conversation, an e-mail message will always be private. 5 After asking two or three times, you might have to write it off and the friendship with it. That's what happens. If he just doesn't have the money or is unwilling, then what

kind of friend is that? 第23题 Paragraph 2

A. Time to break off a friendship

B. Unconditional assistance to friends in need

C. Things to consider when you have to say \"no\" to your friend

下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容,为每题确定1个最佳选项。

Shark Attack!

Craig Rogers was sitting on his surfboard, scanning the distance for his next wave,when his board suddenly stopped moving. He looked down and was terrified to see a great white shark biting the front of his board. \"I could have touched its eye with my elbow,\" says Craig. The shark had surfaced so quietly that he hadn't heard a thing.

In his horror and confusion, he waved his arms and accidentally cut two of his fingers on the Shark's teeth. He then slid off the opposite side of his surfboard into the water. Then, with Craig in the water and blood flowing from his fingers, the five-meterlong shark simply swam away, disappearing into the water below.

Although sharks are often categorized as killers that hunt and eat as many humans as they can, this is factually inaccurate. Sharks very rarely kill humans. A person has a greater chance of being struck by lightning or drowning in a bath than of being killed by a shark. Only 74 people have been reported killed by great whites in the last century.But great white sharks can reach six meters in length and weigh 2,200 kilograms or more. With frightening jaws that can hold up to 3,000 teeth arranged in several rows,they could very easily kill and eat a helpless human in the water. Why is it, then, that most people survive attacks by great whites?

Shark researchers are trying to comprehend the reasons that allow people to escape without being eaten.

The most common explanation is that great whites don't see well. It has been thought that they mistake people for the seals or sea lions which make up a large part of their diet. There is reason to doubt this, however. Recent information shows that great whites can actually see very well. Also, when attacking seals, great whites shoot up to the surface and bite with great force. When approaching humans, however, they most often move in slowly and bite less hard. They soon discover that humans are not a high-fat meal. \"They spit us out because we're too bony,\" says Aidan Martin, director of Reef Quest Center for Shark Research. Shark researchers like Martin hypothesize that great whites are actually curious animals that like to investigate things. It's possible that they use their bite not only to kill and eat, but also to gather information. Although such an experience is unlucky for people like Craig Rogers, when sharks bite surfboards or other objects or people, they are likely just trying to learn what they are. 第31题 After Craig Rogers fell into the water, the shark______. A. bit his surfboard B. bit his fingers C. swam away D. attacked him

第32题 It is difficult for the author to understand why great whites______. A. often let humans escape B. kill humans

C. have so many teeth

D. grow to six meters or more

第33题 Which of the following is closest in meaning to \"make up\" in paragraph 4? A. create. B. are.

C. increase. D. depend upon.

第34题 The word \"their\" in paragraph 4 means______. A. people's

B. great whites' C. sea lions' D. seals'

第35题 What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. Great whites eat low-fat, bony meals more slowly.

B. Great whites see well enough to include seals, sea lions, and humans in their diet.

C. We now know great whites don't mistake humans for other animals.

D. There is reason to doubt that great whites see well enough to attack humans.

The Travels of Ibn Battuta

\"I left Tangier, my birthplace, the 13th of June 1325 with the intention of making the

pilgrimage to Mecca--to leave all my friends both female and male, to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests.\" So begins an old manuscript in a library in Paris —the travel journal of Ibn Battuta.

Almost two centuries before Columbus, this young Moroccan set off for Mecca, returning home three decades later as one of history's great travelers. Driven by curiosity, he journeyed to remote corners of the Islamic world, traveling through 44 modern countries, three times as far as Marco Polo. Little celebrated in the West, his name is well known among Arabs. In his hometown of Tangier, a square, a hotel, a café, a ferry boat, and even a hamburger are named after him.

Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years, but the urge to travel soon took over. In one adventure, he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the Sultan of Delhi. on me way, he described his group being attacked in the open country by 80 men on foot, and two horsemen:\"we fought…killing one of their horsemen and about twelve of the foot soldiers…I was hit by an arrow and my horse

by another, but God in his grace preserved me…We carried the heads of the slain to the castle of Abu Bak'har…and suspended them from the wall. \" In Delhi, the sultan gave him the position of judge, based on his prior study at Mecca. But the sultan had an

unpredictable character, and lbn Battuta looked for an opportunity to leave. When the

sultan offered to finance a trip to China, he agreed. Ibn Battuta set off in three ships,

but misfortune struck while he was still on the shore. A sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships, scattering treasure and drowning many people and horses. As he watched, the third ship, with all his belongings and slaves—one carrying his child—was

carried out to sea and never heard from again.

After a lifetime of incredible adventures, Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the Sultan of Morocco to return home to share his wisdom with the world. Fortunately, he

consented and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages, allowing people everywhere to read about his unparalleled journeys. 第36题 What is the passage mainly about? A. Visitors to Mecca.

B. The adventures of Ibn Battuta. C. Ibn Battuta's character.

D. Asian countries of the 14th century.

第37题 Which of the following is closest in meaning to \"set off\" for in line 5? A. left to go to. B. discussed. C. arrived at. D. decided upon.

第38题 The Sultan of Delhi gave Ibn Battuta a position of judge because_____. A. the sultan needed a translator.

B. Ibn Battuta had been a judge before. C. Ibn Battuta had studied in Mecca.

D. Ibn Battuta had traveled to many countries.

第39题 Which of the following would the writer of this passage most likely agree with?

A. Ibn Battuta's journeys were very common for people of that time. B. Ibn Battuta's stories are probably not true.

C. Ibn Battuta's journey was less important than Marco Polo's. D. Ibn Battuta should be better known in the West today. 第40题 Why did Ibn Battuta finally return to his home? A. He was tired of traveling. B. He didn't have any more money. C. He feared the Sultan of Delhi.

D. The Sultan of Morocco asked him to return.

Orbital Space Plane

While scientists are searching the cause of the Columbia disaster, NASA is moving ahead with plans to develop a new craft that would replace shuttles on space station missions by 2012 and respond quickly to space station emergencies.

The space agency released the first set of mission needs and requirements several days ago for the orbital space plane, which would be designed to transport a crew of

four to and from the International Space Station.

Although it includes few specifics, the plan stipulates the orbiter will be safer, cheaper and require less preparation time than the shuttle. It would be able to transport

four crew members by 2012 —though it would be available for rescue missions by 2010. NASA says the craft should be able to transport injured or ill space station crew

members to \"definitive medical care\" within 24 hours.

The release of the requirements showed NASA remains focused on the long-term priorities of space exploration, even as questions linger concerning the loss of Columbia

and its seven-member crew on February 1, 2003.

Experts at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, have been working for years on a successor to the shuttle. The project, known as the Space Launch Initiative, was divided last year into two parts —one focusing on a future launch vehicle,

the other on a space station orbiter. The orbiter is expected to be ready sooner. The program's managers say NASA officials have told them not to alter Space Launch Initiative in light of the Columbia disaster.

U.S. President George W. Bush asked Congress for about US $1 billion for Space Launch Initiative in 2004, funds that would be almost equally split between the Orbital

Space Plane and Next Generation Launch Technology. 第41题 The orbital space craft has been designed for A. controlling the International Space Station.

B. carrying astronauts to the International Space Station. C. transporting equipment to the International Space Station. D. training astronauts in space flights.

第42题 From the passage we know that the design of the orbiter indicates A. NASA's determination to continue its space exploration projects. B. the U.S. space technology superiorities. C. a victory in space exploration.

D. the birth of an absolutely safe space craft.

第43题 When did the scientists start working on a successor to the shuttle? A. Immediately after the Columbia disaster. B. One year after the Columbia disaster. C. Years before the explosion of Columbia. D. Not mentioned in the passage.

第44题 Besides the main mission stipulated by NASA, the orbiter would also be used as

A. a space hospital.

B. a medical research center.

C. a medicine-transporting vehicle. D. a space ambulance.

第45题 According to the passage, the funds, if granted, would A. be used for developing the orbiter only.

B. be equally shared by the two projects under Space Launch Initiative. C. be given to Marshall Space Flight Center.

D. be mainly used to improve space launch technology 第5部分:补全短文(每题2分,共10分).

Are Online Friends Real Friends

Modern computer technology has made a new kind of human relationship

possible: online friendship. (46)__________ Are online friendships as beneficial as faceto-face friendships?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having virtual friends? Can

people form strong bonds online? Today these questions are the subject of lively debate.

Some people believe that the Internet is the best way to make new friends .It's convenient, it's fast, and it allows to make contact with different kinds of people from all

over the world. When you use social networking websites and chat rooms, you can easily find people with interests and hobbies similar to yours. Information updates and

photos add to the experience. Making friends on the Internet is especially good for shy

people who feel uncomfortable in social situations. It's often easier to share thoughts

and feelings online. (47)__________. They can make people feel less lonely and help them solve problems.

Although the Internet can encourage friendship, it has a major disadvantage. (48) __________. Online friends only tell you what they want you to know. They sometimes exaggerate their good qualities and hide the less positive ones, so you can't be sure of what they really like. That is why you should not give personal information to

anyone online unless you're totally sure of who that person is. Can online friendship be as meaningful as face-to-face ones? There are different points of view. Researchers at the University of Southern California surveyed 2,000 households in the United States. The results showed that more than 40 percent of participants feel \"as strongly about their online buddies\" as they do about their \"offline\" friends. (49)__________ . In contrast, there are many people who believe that it's not

possible to have deep relationships with online friends. A young Indian software engineer, Lalitha Lakshmipathy, says,\" it's good to feel connected with many people, but

all my e-buddies are not necessarily my close friends. \"

(50) __________. They say that it's hard to develop feelings of trust and connection when you don't share experiences in person. People continue to express different opinions about online friendship. However, most of them would agree that virtual friendships must not replace face-to-face friendships. As one life coach says, \"a social networking site should only be the ' add on'

in any relationship. \" 第46题 ( )

A. In addition, virtual friends can offer emotional support.

B. When you're not face to face, it's much easier to deceive people. C. Many people would agree.

D. Researchers also found that it's not unusual for online friends to become face-toface friends.

E. Online friends may be of help in many ways.

D. Researchers also found that it's not unusual for online friends to become face-toface friends.

E. Online friends may be of help in many ways.

F. Online friends, or virtual friends, are people who have become acquainted with each

other through the Internet. 第49题 ( )
