Other people always wake

7、up with vivid recollections (记忆) of their dreams, though they forget them very quickly. In an average night of eight hours sleep, an average adult will dream for around one hundred minutes, probably having three to five dreams, each lasting from ten to thirty minutes.Scientists can detect when someo

Breathing and pulse rate also increase, and there are rapid eye movements under the lids, just as though the dreamed were really looking at moving objects. Th

9、ese signs of dreaming have been detected in all mammals (哺乳动物) studied, including dogs, monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles (爬行动物). This period of sleep is called the“ D“ state for around 50% of their sleep; the period reduces to around 25% by the age of 10.Dreams take the

10、 form of stories, but they. may be strange and with incidents not connected, which make little sense. Dreams are seldom without people in them and they are usually about people we know. One estimate says that two-thirds of the“ cast“ of our dream dramas are friends and relations. Vision seems an ess

11、ential part of dreams, except for people blind from birth. Sound and touch are senses also often aroused, but smell and taste are not frequently involved. In“ normal“ dreams, the dreamer may be taking part, or be only an observer. But he or she cannot control what happens in the dream.However, the d

12、reamer does have control over one type of dream. This type of dream is called a “lucid“(清醒的) dream. Not everyone is a lucid dreamer. Some people are occasional lucid dreamers.

16、ve you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you need to know at school,“ promised lecturer lan Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren. He slapped his hand down on the table. “When Ive finished in two hours time, your work will be far more effective and productive. Anyone not inter

17、ested, leave now. “ The entire room sat still.2 Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician (魔术师). He specializes in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible, and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery (骗术). “I have always been interested in tr

19、to, as the stuffs all there in books. “ So he summarized everything to make a two-hour lecture about five techniques.4 “You want to learn a list of a hundred things? A thousand? No problem, “ says Robinson. The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of their scho

The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant. “I wish Id been told this earlier,“ commented Mark, after Robinson had shown them how to construct “mental journeys“.5 Essentially, you visualize (想象) a walk down a street, or a trip round a room, and pick the points where y

21、ou will put the things you want to remember-the lamppost, the fruit bowl. Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list-phrasal verbs, historical dates, whatever-making them as strange as possible. It is that simple, and it works.6 The reaction of schools has been uniformly enth

22、usiastic. “The pupils benefited enormously from Lans presentation,“ says Dr. Johnston, head of the school where Robinson was speaking. “Ideally we should run a regular class in memory techniques so pupils can pick it up gradually. “A.

25、 4部分：阅读理解/B(总题数：3，分数：45.00)下面有 3篇短文，每篇短文后有 5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题定 1个最佳选项。B第一篇/BTrying to Find a PartnerOne of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people interviewed, one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.Why are many

26、finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships? Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love? Or are we making it harder for ourselves?It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships. Women no longer rely

27、upon partners for economic security or status. A man doesnt expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their indep

28、endence.In theory, finding a partner should be much simpler these days. Only a few generations ago, your choice of soulmate (心上人) was constrained by geography, social convention and family tradition. Although it was never explicit, many marriages were essentially arranged.Now those barriers have bee

29、n broken down. You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening. When the world is your oyster (牡蛎),you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even fighter constraint: the tyranny of choic

30、e.The expectations of partners are inflated to an unmanageable degree: good looks, impressive salary, kind to grandmother, and right socks. There is no room for error in the first impression.We think that a relationship can be perfect. If it isnt, it is disposable. We work to protect ourselves again

31、st future heartache and dont put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship. Of course, this is complicated by realities. The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.（分数：15.00）(1).What does the recent poll

32、 show?（分数：3.00）A.It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husband.B.It is getting increasingly difficult to start a family.C.It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife.D.It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse.(2).Which of th

33、e following is NOT true about a contemporary married couple?（分数：3.00）A.The wife doesnt have to raise the children all by herself.B.The husband doesnt have to support the family all by himself.C.The wife is no longer the only person to manage the household.D.They will receive a large sum of money fro

34、m the government.(3).Which of the following was NOT a constraint on ones choice of soulmate in the old days?（分数：3.00）A.The health condition of his or her grandmother.B.The geographical environment.C.The social convention.D.The family tradition.(4).Which of the following is NOT expected of a partner

35、according to this passage?（分数：3.00）A.Good looks.B.An impressive career.C.A high salary.D.A fine sense of humor.(5).The word “sustain“( paragraph 2)could be best replaced by _.（分数：3.00）A.“reduce“B.“shake“C.“maintain“D.“weaken“B第二篇/BA Very Slow RideThe surface of the earth may seem very stable to you.

36、 But you might be amazed if you knew some of the things that are going on under that surface.The earth has an outer shell of rigid pieces called tectonic plates (地壳构造板块). The plates include both ocean floor and dry land. Some have whole continents on top of them. The continents on top of the plates

37、are just going along for a slow ride, moving only about four inches per year. But even this small movement causes three types of big interactions.One type is ocean ridges. These ridges develop in places where two plates are moving away from each other. As the plates separate, hot magma(岩浆) flows up

38、to fill the space. New crust(地壳) builds up on the plate boundaries and causes ocean ridges. These ridges form long mountain ranges, which only rise above the ocean surface in a few places.Another type of reactiontrenchesoccurs between two plates that are moving toward each other. As the plates meet,

39、 one bends downward and plunges underneath the other. This forms deep ocean trenches. The Marianas Trench off Guam in the western Pacific Ocean has a depth of more than 36,000 feet. This is the lowest point on the ocean floor. If the leading edges of the two colliding plates carry continents, then t

40、he layers of rock in the overriding plate crumple(变皱) and fold. A plate that carried what is now India collided with the southern edge of the plate that carried Europe and most of Asia, This caused the Himalayas, the worlds highest mountains.The third reaction is transform faults(转换断层). These faults

41、 occur where two plates that are traveling in opposite directions slide past each other. Severe earthquakes can occur. The San Andreas Fault in Califonia is a good example of this type of movement.（分数：15.00）(1).The word “ stable“ ( paragraph 1 ) means _.（分数：3.00）A.“a place for horses“B.“calm and eas

42、ygoing“C.“steady or firm“D.“a collection of animals“(2).To explain the effect of trenches, the writer gives the example of _.（分数：3.00）A.the sea floor in the Atlantic OceanB.the Himalayan MountainsC.EuropeD.India(3).The San Andreas Fault is an example of _.（分数：3.00）A.a severe earthquakeB.a California

43、 rock formationC.two plates moving apartD.two plates sliding past each other(4).According to the passage, the earth is _.（分数：3.00）A.always changingB.becoming smallerC.moving fasterD.getting hotter(5).This passage is mostly about _.（分数：3.00）A.effects of movements of the earths platesB.different types

44、 of continentsC.the Marianas TrenchD.transform faultsB第三篇/BMobile Phones: Are They about to Transform Our Lives?We love mobile phones so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are increasingly concerned that we cannot escape their electronic reach. We use them to convey our mo

45、st intimate secrets, yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy. We rely on them more than the Internet to cope with modem life, yet many of us dont believe advertisements saying we need more advanced services.Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third ge

46、neration phones and fears over the health effects of phone masts (天线竿), a recent report claims that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use of them. Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has

47、 already moved beyond being a mere practical communications tool to become the backbone (支柱)of modern social life, from love affairs to friendship to work. One female teacher, 32, told the researchers: “I love my phone. Its my friend. “The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced

48、 among teenagers, the report says, who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity. This is partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents. But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles, especially text messaging, are seen as a way of overcom

49、ing shyness. “Texting is often used for apologies, to excuse lateness or to communicate other things that make us uncomfortable,“ the report says. The impact of phones, however, has been local rather than global, supporting existing friendships and networks, rather than opening users to a new broader community. E
