Dream is a story that a
personwatchesor even takes part in
during sleep.
Dream events are imaginary, but they
are
related to
real
experiences
and
needs
in
the
dreamer’s
life.
They
seem
real
while they are taking
place. Some dreams
are
pleasant, others are
annoying, and
still others are frightening.
Everyone dreams, but some
persons never recall dreaming.
Others
remember
only a little
about a dream they had just before
awakening and nothing about
earlier dreams. No one recalls all his
dreams.
Dreams involve
little logical thought. In most dreams, the
dreamer
cannot
control
what
happens
to
him.
The
story
may
be
confusing, and things
happen that
would not
happen in real life.
People see in most dreams,
but they may also hear, smell,
touch,
and taste
in their dreams.
Most dreams
occur
in color. but
persons
who
have
been
blind
since
birth
do
not
see
at
all
in
dreams.
Dreams are a
product of the sleeper’s mind. They include
events
and
feelings
that
he
has
experienced.
Most
dreams
are
related to events of the day
before the dream and strong
wishes of
the
dreamer.
Many
minor
incidents
of
the
hours
before
sleep
appear
in
dreams.
Few
events
more
than
two
days
old
turn
up.
Deep wishes or fears - especially those
held since childhood- often
appear in
dreams, and many dreams
fulfil such wishes. Events in
the
sleeper’s surrounding
-
a loud noise, for example, may become
part of a dream, but they do not cause
dreams.
Some dreams
involve deep feelings that a person may not
realize he has.
Psychiatrists(
精神病医生
)often
use material from a
patient’s dreams to
help the
person understand
himself better.
Dreaming
may
help
maintain
good
learning
ability,
memory,
and
emotional
adjustment.
People
who
get
plenty
of
sleep-but
are
awakened
each
time
they
begin
to
dream-
become
anxious and restless.

we
dream

According
to
psychologists(
心理学家
),
an
emotion
is
aroused
when
a
man
or
animal
views
something
as
either
bad
or
good. When a person feels like running
away from something he
thinks will hurt him, we call this
emotion fear. if the
person
wants
to
remove
the
danger
by
attacking
it,
we
call
the
emotion
anger.
The emotions of joy and love are
aroused when we think something
can
help us. An
emotion does
not have to be created by something
in
the outside world. it can be
created by a person
’s
thoughts.
Everyone
has
emotions.
Many
psychologists
believe
that
infants
are
born
without
emotions.
They
believe
children
learn
emotions just as they
learn to
read and write. A
growing child not
only learns his
emotions but learns how to
act in certain situations
because of an emotion.
Psychologists
think
that
there
are
two
types
of
emotion:
positive and
negative. Positive emotions
include love, liking, joy,
delight, and hope. They
are aroused by something that appeals
to a
person. Negative emotions make a
person unhappy or
dissatisfied.
They include anger,
fear,despair, sadness, and
disgust. in growing
up, a person learns to cope with the
negative emotions in
order
to
be happy.
Emotions
may
be
weak
or
strong.
Some
strong
emotions
are so unpleasant that
a person will try any means to escape
from
them. in order to feel happy, the
person may choose unusual
ways
to avoid the emotion.
Strong
emotions
can
make
it
hard
to
think
and
to
solve
problems.
They
may
prevent
a
person
from
learning
or
paying
attention
to
what
he
is
doing.
For
example,
a
student
taking
an
examination may be so worried about
failing that he
cannot
think
properly. The worry drains
valuable mental energy he needs for the
examination.
56. We learn
from the
passage that an emotion is
created
by
something
.
A)one
thinks
bad
or
good
B)one
feels
in
danger
C)one
faces
in
the
outside
world
D)one
tries
to
escape
from real life
57. Which of the following is NOT true?
A)Children learn emotions as they grow
up.
B)Babies are born with emotions.
C)Emotions fall into two types in
general.
D)People can cope with the negative
emotions in life.
58.
The
author’s
purpose
of
writing
this
passage
is
to
.
A) explain why people have emotions
B) show how people avoid the negative
emotions
C) explain what people should do before
emotions
D) define and classify people’s
emotions
59.
We
can
safely
conclude
that a
student
may
fail
in
an
exam
if
.
A)
he
can
not
think
properly
B)
he
can’t
pay
attention to it
C)
he
can’t
pay
attention
to
it
D)
he
is
not
full
of
energy
60.
As
used
in
the
last
sentence,
the
word
drains
means
.
A)
stops
B)
ties
C)
weakens
D)
flows
gradually

Faces, like fingerprints, are unique.
Did you ever wonder
how it is
possible for us to
recognize people? Even a skilled writer
probably
could
not
describe
all
the
features
that
make
one
face
different from another.
Yet a very
young child-or
even an animal,
such
as
a
pigeon-can
learn
to
recognize
faces.
We
all
take
this
ability
for granted.
We
also
tell
people
apart
by
how
they
behave.
When
we
talk about someone’s
personality, we mean the
ways in wh
ich he or
she
acts,
speaks,
thinks
and
feels
that
make
that
individual
different from others.
Like the human face, human personality
is very complex.
But describing
someone’s personality in
words is somewhat easier
than
describing his face. if
you
were asked to describe what anice
facelooked like, you probably would
have a
difficult time doing
so.
But if you were asked to describe
anice person,you
might
begin to
think about someone who was
kind, considerate, friendly, warm,and
so forth.
There
are
many
words
to
describe
how
a
person
thinks,
feels and acts.
Gordon all ports, an American
psychologist, found
nearly 18 000
English words
characterizing differences in people’s
behavior.
And
many
of
us
use
this
information
as
a
basis
for
describing,
or
typing,
his
personality.
Bookworms,
conservatives,
military types-people are described
with such terms.
People have always tried
totypeeach other. Actors in early
Greek
drama
wore
masks
to
show
the
audience
whether
they
played
the
villai
n’s(
坏
人
)or
the
hero’s
role.
In
fact,
the
wordspersonandpersonalitycome
from
the
Latin
persona,
, most
television and movie actors do not wear
masks.
But
we
can
easily
tell
thegood
guysfrom
thebad
guysbecause
the
two
types
differ
in
appearance
as
well
as
in
actions.
61.
The main idea of this passage is
.
A)how to distinguish people’s
faces
B)how to describe people’s
personality
C)how to distinguish people
both inward and outward
D)how to differ good
persons from bad persons
62. The author is most
probably a
.
A)
behaviorist
B)
psychologist
C)
writer
D)
sociologist
63.
Which of the following is NOT true?
A)
Different people may have different personalities.
B)
People differ from each in appearance.
C) People can
learn to recognize faces.
D) People can describe all
the features of others.
64.
The
reason
why
it
is
easier
to
describe
a
person’s
personality in
words
than his face is
that
.
A)
a person’s face is more co
mplex than
his personality
B) a person’s personality
is easily distinguished
C) people’s
personalities are very alike
D)
many words are available when people try to
describe
one’s
personality
65. We learn
from the passage that people classify a person
into certain
type according to
.
A) his way of
acting and thinking
B) his way of speaking and
behaving
C) his learning and behavior
D)
his physical appearance and his personality

Most
young
people
enjoy
some
form
of physical activity.
It may be walking,
cycling
or swimming, or in
winter, skating or
skiing. it may be a game of some
kind football,
hockey(
曲棍球
),
golf, of tennis, it may be mountaineering.
Those who have
a passion for climbing high and difficult
mountains are
often looked upon with astonishment.
Why are men
and women willing to suffer
cold and hardship, and to
take risks
on
high
mountains?
This
astonishment
is
caused
probably
by
the
difference
between mountaineering and other
forms of
activity to
which men give
their leisure.
Mountaineering
is
a
sport
and
not
a
game.
There
are
no
man-made
rules,
as
there
re
for
such
games
as
golf
and
football.
There
are,
of
course,
rules
of
a
different
kind
which
it
would
be
dangerous
to
ignore,
but
it
is
this
freedom
from
man-made
rules
that makes
mountaineering attractive to many
people. Those
who
climb mountains are free to use their
own methods. If we compare
mountaineering and other more familiar
sports, we might think that
one big
difference is that
mountaineering is not a’team game’. We
should
be
mistaken
in
this.
There
are,
it
is
true,
no’matches’between’teams’of climbers,
but when
climbers are on
a rock face linked by a rope on which
their lives may depend,
there
is obviously teamwork.
The
mountain
climber
knows
that
he
may
have
to
fight
forces
that
are
stronger
and
more
powerful
than
man.
He
has
to
fight
the
forces
of
nature.
His
sport
requires
high
mental
and
physical qualities.
A
mountain
climber
continues
to
improve
in
skill
year
after year. A skier
is probably past his best
by the age of thirty, and
most
international tennis
champions are in their early twenties.
But
it
is
no
unusual
for
a
man
of
fifty
or
sixty
to
climb
the
highest
mountains
in
the
Alps.
They
may
take
more
time
than
younger
men,
but
they
probably
climb
with
more
skill
and
less
waste
of
effort, and they certainly experience
equal enjoyment.
66. Mountaineering is a
sport which involves
.
A)
hardship
C)
physical risk
B) cold
D) all
of the above
67.
The main difference between a sport and a game
lies
in
.
A)
uniform
C) rules
B)
activity
D) skills
68. Mountaineering is also
a team sport because
.
A)it involves
rules
B)it involves matches between teams
C)it requires mental and physical
qualities
D)mountaineers depend on each other
while climbing
69. Which of the following is NOT true?
A)
Mountaineers
compete against each other.
B)
Mountaineers compete against other
teams.
C)
Mountaineers compete against nature.
D)
Mountaineers
compete against international standard.
70.
What is the best title for the passage?
A)
Mountaineering
B)
Mountain
Climbers
C)
Mountaineering
is Different from Golf and Football
D)
Mountaineering
Is
More
Dangerous
Than
Other
Sports

There is a popular belief
among parents that schools are
no
longer
interested
in
spelling.
No
school
I
have
taught
in
has
ever ignored spelling or
considered it unimportant as a basic
skill.
There are, however, vastly
different
ideas about how
to teach it, or
how
much
priority
(
优先
)it
must
be
given
over
general
language
development and
writing ability. The problem is, how to
encourage
a
child to express himself freely and confidently in
writing without
holding him
back with the complexities of spelling?
If
spelling
become
the
only
focal
point
of
his
teacher’s
interest,
clearly
a
bright
child
will
be
likely
toplay
safe.
He
will
tend
to
write
only
words
within
his
spelling
range,
choosing
to
avoid
adventurous language. That’s why
teachers often encourage
the
early
use
of
dictionaries
and
pay
attention
to
content
rather
than technical ability.
I
was
once
shocked
to
read
on
the
bottom
of
a
sensitive
piece
of writing
about a personal
experience:This work is terrible!
There
are
far
too
many
spelling
errors
and
technical
abilities
in
writing,
but
it
was
also
a
sad
reflection
on
the
teacher
who
had
feelings. The teacher was not wrong to
draw
attention to the
errors,
but if his priorities had
centered on the child’s
ideas, an expression
of his
disappointment with the presentation would have
given the
pupil
more motivation(
动力
)to seek
improvement.
71. Teachers are different in their
opinions about
.
A)
the necessity
of teaching spelling
B)
the role of spelling in general
language development
C)
the way of teaching spelling
D)
the
complexities of the basic writing skills
72.
As
used
in
the
second
paragraph,
the
expressionplay
safemost probably
means
.
A)to spell
correctly
B)to write
smoothly
C)to
avoid
using
words
one
is
not
sure
of
D)to
use
dictionaries
frequently
73. Teachers encourage the
students to use dictionaries so
that
.
A)students
will
be
able
to
write
more
freely
B)students will be more
skillful in writing
C)students
will
be
more
confident
in
writing
D)students will be
independent enough
