Are you 21 that you will miss about one-third of this coming year? You
will “miss”it by 22 . Researchers tell us that the 23 person sleeps
about one-third of each year – or one-third of a 24 .
But the experts also tell us that something important 25 when we sleep
–we 26 . Apparently all people dream, even if they don’t 37 dreaming.
And over the next twelve months, most of us will have about a thousand dreams.
28 is important. But 29 important those are “dreams”we have for our
30 -- those plans, hopes and goals we will draw up 31 our relationships,
our spiritual growth, self-improvement, our 32 health and our world. The
dreams, or wishes, we have for our lives are just as 33 as dreaming while
we sleep.
Dr Norman Vincent Peale used to tell of a 79-year-old woman who was 34
by a hit and-run driver. She was expected to 35 from her injuries. When
he visited, he found her 36 in plaster from her hips to her heels. He 37
around the room, full of mementos（纪念品）of a lifetime. He saw a paisley shawl
（披肩），a child’s drawing of a horse (lavender) and shelves of much loved,
much-thumbed books.
One shelf was a row of brand new books—the only new items in the room. They
looked as if they had never been 38 . Dr Peale asked her if she cared for
poetry. Her 39 was a beautiful tribute （证明，标示）to hope and dreams, “I love poetry, but I haven’t read those yet.” Her face 40 up. “I’m saving them for my old age.”
She did, too. She lived to read those books many times. When she finally died at 91, she was planning a trip to Europe.

第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
One day, Moyer sat down with his mother, Janne O’Donnell, to talk about his goal of going to law school. Don’t count on it , O’Donnell told him. She couldn’t afford the cost and Moyer doubted if he could get a loan, given how
much he owed already. “He said he felt like a failure,” O’Donnell recalls. “He didn’t know how he had gotten into such a mess (混乱).”
A week later, the 22-year-old boy hanged himself in his bedroom, where his mother found him. “He tried to pay his debts off,”she says. “And he couldn’t manage it.”
To be sure, suicides (自杀) are extremely rare. But despair is common –and it sometimes leads students to rethink whether college was worth it. In fact, there are quite a few jobs that don’t require a college degree, yet pay very well. On average, though, college graduates can expect to earn 80 percent more than those with only a high school diploma (文凭). Also, all but two of the 50 highest paying jobs require a four-year college degree. So quitting a college education is often not a wise choice.
Merit Mikhail, who graduated last June from the University of California, Riverside, is glad she borrowed to get through school. But she left Riverside owing $20,000 in student loans and another $7,000 in credit card debt. Now in law school, Merit hopes to become a public-interest lawyer, yet she may have to put off that goal –which bothers her. To handle her debt, she’ll probably need to start with a better legal job.
Like so many other students, Mikhail took out her loans on a kind of blind faith that she could deal with the consequences. “You say to yourself, ‘I have to go into debt to make it work, and whatever it takes later, I’ll manage.’” Later has now arrived, and Mikhail is finding out the true cost of her college degree.
41．The reason why Moyer hanged himself was that _______.
A．he had a quarrel with his mother
B．his mother didn’t allow him to attend college
C．the bank refused to give him a loan
D．money pressure was too much for him
42．According to the author, _______.
A．most students are satisfied with their college education
B．most high-paying jobs require a four-year college degree
C．college education does certainly mean good job chances
D．all college graduates get better paid than those without a college education
43．Which of the following words can best describe Mikhail’s feeling now?
A．Excited B．Frightened
C．Relaxed D．Disappointed
44．What’s the best title for this passage?
A．Go for Your Dream B．Education in California
C．Is College Really Worth the Money? D．A College Degree, a Bright Future

Vocabulary learning is a continuing process. It continues all your life. When you are young you learn something day in and day out. You should keep squeezing every moment of the day into a new and different learning situation. You continually ask questions and drive yourself to learn more. The more you learn, the more vocabulary you will know. No matter what your age, you must continue to learn. Words are “symbols (符号)”for ideas. These ideas make knowledge and knowledge is gained largely through words. The following are some suggestions which may help you increase your vocabulary.
Read books from fields other than your major.
Read books which interest you and concentrate while you read.
The more you read, the more words you will come in contact with.
Use new vocabulary in your everyday communication (writing, speaking).
Become familiar with the vocabulary in your text books.

Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a few, for example, the average among students is about six per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy (亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.
Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common—they of ten talk about “being on the same wave length”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate difference of opinion.
In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experience and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class race.
53．What are friends according to the author?
A．Friends are those who can get on well with each other.
B．Friends are those who can understand each other.
C．Friends are closer than those who get on well with each other.
D．Friends are those who know how to get on well with each other. 54．In Paragraph 2,“being to the same wave length”most probably means _____.
A．keeping friendship all the time
B．having the same age and background
C．sharing similar interests, ideas, attitudes and beliefs
D．sharing the same rights between friends
55．Which of the following statements is implied in the passage?
A．Sometimes friends may have different ideas.
B．Close friends must have similar ideas, interests, beliefs and attitudes.
C．Friends can break a promise.
D．Friends never argue with each other.
56．To strengthen the association between two people, ______.
A．friendship ceremonies must be held.
B．differences in background have to be removed.
C．people should make friends only with those who are similar to them in age and background.
D．they should support and understand each other in any case.

The Government should raise taxes on air travel and high-polluting cars in order to help the environment, an important committee of MPs has said. It also said that the 70 mph speed limit on motorways should be reduced or enforced to bring down the amount of carbon dioxide given off by cars. The House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee’s latest report said that transport was the only sector (部门) of the UK where carbon emissions have continued to rise since 1990.
It said it was time for the Government to make demand for cheap air impossible by raising air passenger tax. Emissions from air traffic have risen by 5 times as much since 1900 and are guessed to rise.
The committee welcomed the recent introduction of changed car tax, which means that the lowest-carbon cars pay no road tax, while gas –guzzling (耗油的) 4 4s pay an increased rate of £210. However, the MPs say it doesn’t go far enough and are calling for a top limit of £1, 800 with lower limit of £200．Committee chairman Tim Yeo said: “Air travel in particular is the fastest growing source of CO2, with emissions more than five times since 1900．The Government should take much more decisive action to reduce the difference of
income favor of trains, buses, and lower carbon cars and lorries. ”
Friends of the Earth’s senior organizer Tony Bosworth said :“Emissions from transport are still rising and forecasts suggest they will carry on rising for years to come.”
“Tinkering (熔补) around the edges is no longer enough to deal with the greatest threat the world faces.”A spokesman for the Department for Transport said:“Dealing with carbon emissions in transport is a key problem. Our policies will reduce carbon emissions from transport by 6.8 million tons in 2020.”57．What is the purpose of Government’s raising taxes on air travel and high-polluting cars?
A．To make more money
B．To reduce the number of the planes and cars
C．To encourage people to travel by bus or by rail.
D．To help the environment.
58．the underlined word “emissions” in the first paragraph probably means “______”
A．having a bad effect B．producing or raising C．sending out (gas or heat etc.) D．doing a lot of harm 59．According to the changed car tax, if you have a lower-carbon car you will pay ______.
A．no road tax B．less road tax
C．more road tax D．a little road tax 60．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Transport is the biggest polluter
B．Raise taxes on air travel and high-polluting cars
C．Deal with greatest threat the world faces
D．Air travel in particular is the fastest growing source of CO2
