Questions 20-23 are based on the following passage:

A

study

by

Harvard

researchers

found

that

mind

wandering,

or

daydreaming,

consumes

an

average of 47% of

peoples’ waking hours. This begs the

question: If mind wandering is so costly to

our well-being, then why in the world are we so willing to spend nearly half of our lives in this

mental

state?

Creative thinkers know, despite what their parents, teachers and school leaders might have told

them, that daydreaming is hardly a waste of time. But unfortunately, many students learn to suppress

(

压制

) their natural instincts to dream and imagine

—

instead, they’re taught to fit into a standardized

model and to learn by the book, in a way that may not feel natural and that very well may suppress

their natural desire to create. But as two famous psychologists recently

noted, “Not all minds who

wander are lost”

—

in fact, the mind’s wandering is vital to imagination and creative thought.

Nearly 50 years ago, psychologist Jerome L. Singer established that daydreaming is a normal

and

indeed

widespread

aspect

of

human

experience.

He

found

that

many

people

are

“happy

daydreamers”

who

enjoy

their

inner

imagery

and

fantasy

(

幻想

).

According

to

Singer,

these

daydreamers “simply value and enjoy their private experiences, are willing to risk wasting a certain

amount

of

time

on

them

,

but

also

can

apparently

use

them

for

effective

planning

and

for

self-

amusement during periods of routine task activity or boredom.”

Singer

coined

the

term

positive-constructive

daydreaming

to

describe

this

type

of

mind

wandering, which he distinguished from poor attention and anxious, obsessive

（萦绕于心的）

D. Computer programmer.

19.

Which factor is most unlikely to influence salary according to the

passage?

D. Geographical location.

- 3 -

fantasies. By making these important distinctions, Singer was able to highlight the positive, adaptive

role that daydreaming can play in our daily lives, under the right circumstances.

20.

Who are aware that daydreaming is not a waste of time?

A. Teachers.

B. Parents.

C. Creative thinkers.

D. School leaders.

21.

According to the passage, daydreaming is very important to

A. learning by the book

C. suppression of inner desires

22.

What does “them” (Para. 3) refer

to?

A. Private experience.

B. Circumstances.

C. Happy dreamers.

D. Fantasies.

23.

What is true of positive-constructive daydreaming according to the passage?

A. It is a useful

mental state.

C. It is an anxious, obsessive fantasy.

B. It is similar to poor

attention.

D. It is a standardized model.

.

B. imagination and creation

D. instincts and amusements

Questions 24-27 are based on the following passage:

In a determined attempt to deal with litter (

垃

圾

), Ireland passed a plastic bag tax in 2002

—

about 33 cents

—

at the register if you want one with your purchases. There was

an advertising

awareness campaign.

Within weeks, there was a 94% drop in plastic bag use. Within a year, nearly everyone bought

reusable cloth bags, which they now keep in the office and in the back of their cars. Plastic bags

became

socially

unacceptable

──

alo ng

with

wearing

a

fur

coat

or

not

cleaning

up

after

your

dog.

Because plastic bags are light and compressible (

可压缩的

), they constitute only2% of landfill, but

since most are not biodegradable (

可生物降解的

), they will be there for decades.

Attempts at taxing plastic bags have failed in many places because of opposition from

manufacturers and merchants, who felt it would be bad for business. In Britain as well as Los Angeles

and San Francisco, proposed taxes failed to gain political approval, although San Francisco passed a

ban last year. Countries like Italy have settled for voluntary

participation.

But

there

were

no

plastic

bag

makers

in

Ireland

and

a

forceful

environment

minister

gave

reluctant shopkeepers little room: It is illegal for shopkeepers to pay for the bags on behalf of their

customers.

More to the point, the environment minister told shopkeepers that if they merely changed from

plastic

to

paper,

he

would

tax

those

bags

too.

While

paper

bags

are

in

some

ways

better

for

the

environment in terms of litter, studies suggest their manufacture causes more CO

2

emissions than

making plastic bags.

24.

According to the passage, what has caused the drop in plastic bag use?

A. Plastic bag tax.

C. Fall in purchasing power.

B. Heavy fine for violators.

D. Advertising awareness movement.

25.

Which of the following can be socially acceptable in

Ireland?

A. Wearing a fur coat.

B. Reusing a cloth bag.
