Dream sleep is generated deep within the brain. As it is a function of the brain, and not the eyes, blind people dream as much as a sighted person would. It is interesting that the timing of the blindness in life may in fact influence the content of the dreams, however.Research has evaluated the sensory experiences of blind people while dreaming for decades. These findings have been interpreted (解释) within the context of sighted people’s experience ofdreams. It is useful to consider the content of all dreams to better understand where it differs among the blind.Most dreams contain features that are both visual and kinesthetic (related to movement, such as falling). More than half of dreams contain a sound. It is rare for people to describe other sensory experiences, such as those related to smell, taste, and pain. It is estimated that these latter three elements occur in less than 1 percent of dream reports. Interestingly, women more often experience smell and taste in their dreams while men more often report sound and pain.Blind people are more likely to report feelings of touch, taste, and smell in their dreams compared to sighted people. This likely corresponds to their waking experience which relies more on these senses. They do not have dramatic differences in dream content, except that they seem to have less aggression in their dreams.Despite these subtle differences in dream content, can blind people see when they dream? Some blind people actually can see in dreams, but it depends on when they lost their vision. Individuals who are born blind or those who become blind at a young age (typically by the age of 4 or 5 years) do not have visual imagery in their dreams. On the other hand, those who become blind after 5 or 6 years of age are able to see in their dreams. Therefore, there seems to be a window in the development of the brain in which the capacity to have visual dreams is established.24. Why do the blind people also have the ability of dreaming?A. Because they learn the ability after birth.B. Because the ability is controlled by brain.C. Because daily life also expresses them a lot.D. Because they have other senses except seeing.25. According to the text, which of the following dream situation is the rarest?A. A blind man falls off a house.B. A blind woman feels painful.C. A sighted man hears something terrible.D. A sighted woman sees a colorful picture.26. What does the author think of the dream differences between blind people and sighted people?A. Slight.B. Vital.C. Strange.D. Interesting.27. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. Blind people can also have visual dreams.B. Blind people can’t se e very clearly in their dreams.C. Having visual dreams or not depends on the time of losing sight.D. Whether a blind person can dream is related to when he lost sight.CAs we know, earthquakes can bring people much fear. There are some places that have few or no earthquakes. Most places in the world, however, have them regularly. Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous.The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906. Over 700 people died in it. The strongest one in North America was in 1964. It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people. In 1755, one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal. Around 2,000 people died.In 1923, a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo, Yokohama area of Japan. A hundred and forty thousand people died. Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 2008. It killed a large number of people. The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China, in which 400,000 people were killed or injured. This earthquake happened in 1556.Earthquakes worry people a lot. The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming. People cannot prepare for earthquakes.28.

As she pulled over to get gas about 170 miles from her destination, the woman reached for her purse. It wasn’t there. In the flurry to get to her mother’s side, she’d left her handbag at home, along with her wallet and phone.The woman felt totally at a loss. Desperate for help, she asked for help in a truck stop. Someone sent her up the road to Jim Oliver’s Smoke House, a restaurant known for its generosity. In fact, it’s even been nominated (提名) as one of the Nicest Places in America.In the parking lot of the restaurant, the woman broke down telling her story to the owner, James Oliver. He listened patiently, checking her car for an Indiana license plate and deciding whether he should believe her. To her astonishment, he handed her $200 in cash. In hopes of calming her down, Oliver offered her a meal, which she took to go so she could get back on the road.Handing hundreds of dollars over to a stranger might seem crazy to some people, but to Oliver, it’s common sense. He figured a tank of gas alone would cost $75 or so, and she’d need more money for a motel room and food before she could work things out with her credit card. “I instinctively (本能地) went for $200,” he says. “I didn’t think of getting it back.”The Smoke House has had a reputation for ki ndness ever since Oliver’s dad, the original owner, was in charge. In addition to helping travelers in need, Oliver’s father was involved in the community by helping to establish a state park, daycare, medical center, and more. “Growing up, he instilled (灌输) in us to help other people,” says Oliver.The Smoke House might look like a business, but it’s a charity at heart. “When you’ve got food, you can’t turn people away that need help,” says Oliver.32. What can we conclude from the description of Jim Oliver’s Smoke House?A. Oliver must have helped countless people.B. It is one of the famous restaurants in America.C. It mainly sells various kinds of famous cigarettes.D. Oliver has been nominated as the Nicest Person in America33. Why did James Oli ver check the woman’s license plate?A. To decide whether the car is legal or not.B. To make sure what the woman said was true.C. To judge how much money he should provide.D. To check whether the car was in a good condition.34. Why does James Oliver behave so kindly to strangers?A. He was born with that nature.B. He was influenced by his father.C. He wants to make his restaurant famous.D. He wants to get a reputation of kindness.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. A famous little restaurant.B. A woman got help from a stranger.C. The generosity of James Oliver.D. The nicest place in America.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。
