18. （8分） Growing mushrooms(蘑菇) is probably the easiest thing you can do even if you are new to mushroom growing. It is becoming more common because restaurants are starting to create more dishes that include mushrooms.
Mushroom growing is easy. To start, you need to have a space where you are going to grow these mushrooms. It does not have to be a huge space but just enough for you to grow as many mushrooms as you need. When you have found the space perfect for you, you can start researching what kind of mushrooms you want to grow. There are a lot of mushrooms to choose from and not all of them are suitable to eat.
When you decide what kind of mushrooms you want to grow, you can start getting ready to plant the mushrooms. Sometimes you may want to hire some workers to help if you have a large mushroom farm, or
if you are trying to start a professional mushroom growing business. Trying to have a business by yourself can be stressful. If you don't have enough time to spend taking care of everything yourself, dome helpers may be the best choice.
After you have started the mushroom growing, you should regularly check that your mushrooms grow properly and that they are not being attacked by any pesticides(农药) or any other animals or something that could be dangerous to them. That is the worst part of mushroom developing. Protect your mushroom farm well with a fence(围栏) or a gate so that only you and your workers can get in and out.

19. （10分） Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and decided to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us have been told from earliest school days that daydreaming is a waste of time.
L. Giambra, a psychologist（心理学家）, says,” On the contrary , daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn't do all the thinking that it has to do during a normal day. You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious （神志清醒的）mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states （状态）of mind have silent conversations .”
Early psychologists paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even thought they were harmful. At one time people thought that some psychological illness caused day dreaming. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinges, a professor, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinges says, “We know no w that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures. Daydreams really are a window on the things that we fear and the things we long for (渴望) in life.”
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct（直接）, quite unlike sleep dreams. Sleep dreams may be hard to understand. It's easier to get a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine (分析)your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you know the difficult situations（情况）in your life and found out a possible way of dealing with them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted（预言）: they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.
（1）The passage is mainly about _______ .
A . winter sleeps
B . sleep dreams
C . daydreaming
D . predictions
（2）The underlined phrase On the contrary means _________ .
A . 总之
B . 相反
C . 毕竟
D . 因此
（3）The writer of this passage thinks daydreams are__________.
A . hard to understand
B . important and helpful
C . harmful and unimportant
D . the same as sleep dreams
（4）Psychologists now believe that ________.
A . daydreams are usually very simple and can be predicted
B . daydreams are usually difficult to understand
C . daydreams cause some psychological illness
D . daydreams may be creative and full of useful ideas
（5）The writer quoted (引用 )L. Giambra and Eric Klinges to ________.
A . list out two different ideas
B . point out the wrong ideas of early experts
C . support his own ideas
D . report the latest research on daydreams
20. （8分）阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

All people need to sleep. Sleeping is a restorative (恢复体力的) process that shapes better body functions and can improve the quality of your life. Not only is the quantity of sleep important, but also the quality of sleep.
Your bedroom should be shaped to your taste and to allow you to sleep in a peaceful environment. One of the biggest mistakes people make in their sleep is to use their bedroom for activities other than sleep. If your bedroom is also used as a place for your life and work, you will probably have a poor sleep. Bedrooms should be designed and used for sleep mainly. TVs, computers and other things should not be in your bedroom at all if possible.
The regular sleeping and waking times can help improve the quality of your sleep especially for those suffering from sleeplessness. Avoid hot food, caffeine, sugar and alcohol at least 4 to 6 hours before your sleep time. Develop a regular exercise programme. Proper exercise and healthy food will help improve sleeping quality. However, avoid exercising 2 hours before sleeping, since this may keep your body exciting and make sleeping more difficult.
A pre-bedtime rule will help you focus on sleep. You can try meditation (沉思), reading or deep breathing and relaxation. Your bedtime rule should be yours. Do not worry about it fitting into a special style. Do what is the best for you.
Things such as room temperature, noise and light levels and even your bed itself can have a lot of effect on the quality of sleep that you experience. Cut down the annoying noises and lights. You are in your bedroom to sleep and not be distracted (干扰) by environment.
（1）We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.
A . bedrooms should be used for more activities
B . TVs and computers in bedrooms can help people sleep faster
C . the bedroom should be a place where you can sleep peacefully
D . your life and work can make your sleep poor
（2）What kind of bedtime rule is best?
A . A special style.
B . Reading or deep breathing before sleeping.
C . Be relaxed before bedtime.
D . Do what is the best for you.
（3）Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (P=Paragraph)
A .
B .
C .
D .
（4）What's the passage mainly about?
A . How to get quality sleep.
B . How to solve sleep problems.
C . How to decorate your bedroom.
D . How to set a bedroom rule.

I packed, and was ready to leave for my two-day trip. I had been busy with my work. I had made preparations for the t________ for the last few days, and I expected to get r________ for several days.
As I got into the car to leave, my mind flew to my kids.
How to keep in touch with your kids when you' re busy or far away is a dilemma (两难的问题) many fathers have. Men like to focus special attention on one thing for a long period, but this can lead to trouble. Moving from work to family isn't always an easy thing. And if you don' t s________ your kids that you're thinking about them, they may think that you don' t care.
As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped to t________ back to my house and wrote a short message on a c________ of cards to each of my children. I put each in a "secret" place where I knew they'd find it.
When I called the next night, they both said excitedly," Daddy, I got your card. When did you do that?"
I was moved when I heard these words. What I had never thought was that a small thing had a big
influence on my kids. It proved(证明) that they were in my h________. And distance (距离) couldn't separate them from their f________. To my satisfaction, they feel "love" of their father. This v________ experience encouraged me to continue to do the small things to be a responsible father.
As fathers get much busier and have to work longer hours, they usually pay l________ attention to the small things. Don't miss the good chances to let your kids see how important they are.
Take a moment to do a small thing for your kids. It won' t s________ small to them.
