AA young mother went into a small bedroom. Her baby was sleeping there. There was a cat near the baby. The mother took the cat away immediately，because the cat often lay on the baby. Then the baby couldn't breathe and it died by magic.In many countries, people are afraid of black cats because they bring bad luck. Napoleon didn't like black cats. He saw a black cat before the battle of Waterloo. He lost the battle and the British won.Therefore，on the Continent，the black cat is unlucky；in Britain it is lucky.In general，animals are lucky and birds are unlucky.In the British army，some have a goat for luck，and some have an Irish wolfhound(猎狼犬)．When President of America Eisenhower died，there was a horse in the funeral(葬礼)procession.This was for luck.Several years ago in Britain，Prince Charles went fox－hunting.When they caught the first fox，they killed it. Then they put some of the blood on Prince Charles.They did the same thing two years later，when Princess Anne went fox­hunting for the first time. A lot of people don't like fox­h unting, and they were very angry when this happened. It is called“being blooded”；and fox－hunters think that is very necessary. It brings good luck to the new fox­hunter，when the blood of the first fox is put on him or her. In the country，it is very lucky when you see the first lamb in spring while birds are usually unlucky，but eagles are different. They are lucky，and the Romans have the eagle as their symbol. Also gulls are lucky. Sailors are very happy when gulls follow their ships.1.According to the passage，Napoleon lost the battle in Waterloo because________.A．the British were too strongB．the number of his soldiers was too smallC．the war broke out on the ContinentD．he saw a black cat before it2. Some of the blood of the fox was put on Charles and Anne because________.A．they are prince and princess of BritainB．it could bring good luck to themC．a lot of people liked fox­huntingD．they wanted to hunt more foxes3．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?A．In Britain，it is very lucky when you see the first lamb in springB. The Romans made the eagle their symbol.C．In France，people have goats for luck.D．In Britain，black cats are lucky.BNext autumn when you see wild geese heading south for the winter flying in a V formation you might think about what scientists have discovered as to why they fly that way.As each bird flaps(拍打) its wings，it creates an uplift（升力）for the bird immediately following. By flying in V formation the whole group adds at least 71% greater flying range(航程) than if each bird flies on its own.People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the push of one another. When a wild goose falls out of the formation，it suddenly feels the drag and resistance(阻力) of trying to go alone and quickly tries to get back into the formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. When the head goose gets tired, it flies back into the formation and another goose flies to the front. It is wise to take turns doing difficult jobs whether it be people or wild geese flying south.Wild geese honk(发出雁叫声) from behind to inspire those up front to keep up their speed. When a wild goose gets sick or wounded by gunshots, and falls out of the formation, two other geese will fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They will stay with the fallen goose until it is able to flyor until it dies, and only then will they go on with their own or with another formation to catch up with their group.4. Wild geese fly in a V formation in order to_______.A. protect themselves from dangerB. fly more quickly and easilyC. help the sick and woundedD. fly much higher in the sky5. If a wild goose falls out of the V formation,______.A. the other geese will call it backB. the other geese will fly with itC. it will try to get back into the groupD. it will fall behind the whole group6. When a wild goose becomes sick or is wounded, _______.A. the whole group will stop flyingB. two other geese will stay with it to offer helpC. it will be left alone and will fall on the groundD. other geese will honk to give it encouragementCHistory is full of tales of great ideas taking shape in sleeping minds；Paul McCartney said that he awoke with the tune of Yesterday in his head, and Robert Louis Stevenson said that the idea for The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde came to him in a dream.Scientists believe that the mind at night puts together bits of information in creative ways. Throughout the day your brain rarely gets a chance to stop and think. It constantly responds to a stream of challenges, from writing a report for a work deadline to remembering where you left your car keys and figuring out what to buy for dinner.“Think of your brain like a web," says Russell Foster, Professor of Neuroscience at Oxford University. "During the day the web is very tight, so you can only put information in a certain number of places. During sleep the web expands, and with the luxury of time, those bits of information can be put into lots of different places and make new associations."He adds that this process may help to foster the formation of new ideas. "This bringing together of seemingly unrelated bits of information is vital to helping the brain think itself out of problems,” says Russell Foster."Sleep seems to allow your mind to make non-obvious connections. It puts all the information from the day into a big biological theatre and forces the mind to speak to people at the back of the theatre, who you may not think you have any connection with. This is the basis of creativity connecting ideas, events and memories that wouldn't normally fit together.By placing volunteers into brain scanners and sending them to sleep, scientists have seen that the areas associated with emotion go into overdrive, especially while dreaming, while the areas that are responsible for logic (逻辑)are switched off. This not only explains why dreams are unbelievably random-you can be talking to a colleague one minute and the next minute sitting in your old school classroom dressed in your nightclothes—but also explains how the brain can put together different information.7. In what way are the mind at night and the mind during the day different?A. The ways to receive information.B. The ways to provide information.C. The ways to process information.D. The ways to exchange information.8. According to Russell Foster, what may bring out creativity?A. Information put together in normal ways.B. Information put together in unusual ways.C. Information stored in a biological theatre.D. Information stored in the mind.9. Which can replace “go into overdrive” underlined in the last paragraph?A. Start being active.B. Return to normal.C. Stop working.D. Perform badly.10. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Creative Power of the BrainB. Great Works from SleepC. Never Believe Your Sleeping MindsD. Sleep Can Bring Creative Ideas第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
