（40分）AAlmost all researches in sleep explain that nightmares are a reaction to negative experiences that happen during waking hours. However, some of them believe that nightmares do have some real benefits. One 2017 study, for example, found that frequent nightmare sufferers rated themselves as more empathetic (共鸣的). They also displayed more of a tendency to unconsciously mirror other people through things like yawning. People who have constant nightmares also tend to think further outside the box on psychoanalysis tasks. Some other researches have found support for the idea that nightmares might be linked to creativity.People seeking cure for nightmares were not necessarily more fearful or anxious, but rather had a general sensitivity to all emotional experience. Sensitivity is the driving force behind intense dreams. Heightened sensitivity to threats or fear during the day results in had dreams and nightmares, whereas heightened passion or excitement may result in more intense positive dream. And both these forms of dreams may feed back into waking life, perhaps increasing suffering after nightmares, or promoting social bonds and empathy after positive dreams.The effects go further still. This sensitivity overflows over into perceptions and thoughts: people who have a lot of nightmares experience a dreamlike quality to their waking thoughts. And this kind of thinking seems to give them a creative edge. For instance, studies show that such people tend to have greater creative talent and artistic express. And people who often have nightmares also tend to have more positive dreams than the average person.The evidence points towards the idea that, rather than disturbing normal activity, people who are unfortunate in having a lot of nightmares also have a dreaming life that is at least as creative, positive and vivid as it can be distressing and terrifying. What’s more, this imaginative richn ess is unlikely to be limited to sleep, but also is filled with waking thought and daydreams. Even after people wake up and shake off the nightmare, in other words, a mark of it stays behind, possessing them throughout the day.1. What do most sleep researchers think of nightmares?A.

The Tendency of NightmaresBTransplant (移植) recipient John Bell knows exactly where to find his first heart-the damaged one he lived with for 72 years. It’s floating in a container of formaldehyde (福尔马林) at a large storage facility at Baylor University Medical Center, along with hundreds of other human hearts. When he returns to the hospital for a checkup with his cardiologist (心脏病专家), Bell expects to stop by to pay his old heart a visit. Why? Because at Baylor, he can do something almost no one else in the world has ever done. He can hold his heart in his hands.“It was fairly emotional, that first encounter,” says Bell. “I can’t actually explain why.”Bell is one of more than 70 heart-transplant patients who have participated in Baylor’s Heart-to-Heart program.It was launched in 2014 by William C. Roberts, MD. Baylor is unique in allowing transplant patients to “meet” their old hearts. “Probably 99.5 percent of hospitals throw the hearts away after they send out a report,” Dr. Roberts says. “We keep them all.” They are used for furth er research.The Heart-to-Heart program happened almost by accident. With all those organs stored on the hospital’s shelves, Dr. Roberts would sometimes take a curious patient to visit his or her old ticker. But the doctor discovered that the visits could provide a kind of teachable moment. “Many of the patients are overweight, and I show them the fat on the heart,” says Dr. Roberts. “Some people have so much fat on their hearts that they float in a container of water.”There’s a larger lesson too. “I try t o stress to these people that they are very lucky. They are one of the few that get a heart,” he says. There are an estimated six million Americans living with heart failure, but only 2,000 to 3,000 receive hearts each year in the United States.1. Why does Bell want to visit his old heart?A. He intends to take it back home.B. He expects to observe and hold it.C. He wants to compare his with that of others.D. He thinks it is a good chance to learn about oneself.2. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ticker”？A. Friend.B. Enemy.C. Heart.D. Part.3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A. Dr. Roberts is an excellent teacherB. Most people are overweight in the U.S.C. The Heart-to-Heart program is importantD. Hearts are in great need in the U.S.CAs someone who grew up in this city, I’m familiar with what you think you know about it: it’s dull, it’s cold, everybody talks about money, there is no subculture, no real nightlife, and w hy aren’t you in Berlin already?Let me stop you there. First, we are good-humored, friendly bunch, who are interested in getting things done without being pretentious(自命不凡的)about it. That’s why there are always new places popping up. The Museum of Romanti cism is being built right next to the poet Goethe’s birthplace and is due to open in early 2020. Altstadt, the old town destroyed in the Second World War, is being reconstructed—not as a Disney fantasy but as a modern version of its former self.Neighborhoods are changing fast. Most famously, the once druggy and seedy(破烂的) Bahnhofsviertel area around the train station has gained its reputation as one of the city’s most interesting places, with new restaurants, galleries and clubs. In the industrial cast end, the Marriott hotel chain has opened a third Moxy hotel near the new European Central Bank.The city really comes into its own in summer, when everyone chills(乘凉)on the banks of the river Main, drinking Ebbelwoi(apple wine), cycling, skating, strolling and looking up at the one notable city skyline in Germany. A few more skyscrapers will be added in the near future, thanks to Brexit. This city has always been open and friendly to outsiders. So, welcome to Frankfurt.1. From the first paragraph, we can infer that_________.A.

Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Frankfurt—an Old CityB. Frankfurt—a Modern CityC. Frankfurt—a Cultural CenterD. Frankfurt—a Changing CityDI was at my parent’s dinner table. Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolored pages. It was my grandfather’s journal and now belonged to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leadin g up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life’s journey.I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I was captivated by the power of the written words. In the magical script before me. I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace each other’s strug gles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer’s mind and understand the world they lived in.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry fro information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our collective wisdom, most of these writings reflect the superficiality(肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life. Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflect deep thought on issues of human importance.1.
