Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity thatyoung people have to choose their own ways of life. In a moretraditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to livein the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parentsknow and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education, moveout of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whomtheir parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those oftheir parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do betterthan they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do allthe things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause ofthe gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very littlein common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society isthe third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditionalculture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in oursociety the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. Theyoung and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separatedby different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap willcontinue in American life for some time to come.6. The first paragraph tells us that ______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention frompeopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate witheach other7. In a more traditional society, old people_______.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children8. In American society young people________.A. do not need to find jobsB. leave home at an early ageC. have better education than their parentsD. marry people younger than them9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.10. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existD. how we can reduce the generation gap二、交际用语(此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项，请你从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

In 1941, 208,000 forest fires burned 30 million acres, while in 1981, fewer than 165,000 fires burned about three million acres. While forest usage has increased, the proportion(比例) of human-caused fires has remained stable; people still cause mine out of ten forest fires. But the biggest cause of fires is arson(纵火), accounting for(引起) 34 percent of forest fires in 1981.1.

According to the passage, in 1941 forest fires burnedA. less acres than in 1981.B. 3 million acres.C. ten times as many acres as in 1981.D. 20 million acres more than in 1981.3.

The teaching of the Barbizon school, which stressed the use of color and the creation of an impression or a mood, influenced many American artists. One group of American painters, led by James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent, expatriated(移居国外) themselves from the American scene and settled in Europe. Whistler, who is often ranked as the greatest genius(天才) in the history of American art, was a versatile(多才多艺的) and industrious(勤奋的) artist who was equally proficient(熟练的) in several media-oil, watercolor, etching(铜版画)-and with several themes-portraits and his so-called "nocturnes(夜景画)", impressionistic sketches(印象画) of moonlight on water and other scenes. He was one of the first to appreciate the beauty of Japanese color prints and to introduce Oriental concepts into Western art.1. For a period after the Civil War, the majority of American paintersA. was influenced by the Barbizon school.B. painted in the impressionist style.C. studied art in Europe.D. used striking color in their work.2. According to the passage, one group of American paintersA. left America never to return.B. turned their back on the American art tradition.C. copied the style of Whistler and Sargent.D. were unaffected by the European style of painting.3.

According to the passage, Whistler was one of the first Western painters toA. use Japanese ideas in his own work.B. become interested in Japanese printing.C. admire Japanese oil paintings.D. start producing Japanese sketches.5.

The American painters' influence in Europe.【答案】1C 2A 3B 4A 5BPassage 3The origins(起源) of baseball probably stretch back to 1839 when Abner Doubleday, a civil engineering student, laid out a diamond-shaped field at Cooperstown, New York, and attempted to standardize(使标准化) the rules governing the playing of such games as town ball and four old cat, the ancestors(祖先) of baseball. By the end of the Civil War, interest in the game had grown rapidly. Over 200 teams or clubs existed, some of which toured the country playing rivals; they belonged to a national association of "Baseball Players" that had proclaimed(宣布) a set of standard rules. These teams were amateurs(业余爱好者) or semi-professionals, but as the game waxed in popularity, it offered opportunities for profit, and the first professional team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, appeared in 1869. Other cities soon fielded professional teams, and in 1876 the present National League was organized chiefly by Albert Spalding. Soon a rival league appeared, the American Association. Competition between the two was intense, and in 1883 they played a post-season(季后赛) contest, the first "world's series". The American Association eventually collapsed, but in 1900 the American League was organized.1. According to the passage, baseball originated in 1839 becauseA. Abner Doubleday invented a special diamond-shaped pitch.B. the rules of earlier games were amalgamated(合并) and regularized.C. civil engineering students became interested in playing games.D. the old games died out and a new one was needed.2. What was different about "Baseball Players" compared with earlier players?A. They travelled widely.B. They belonged to many clubs.C. They played by agreed rules.D. They were not professional.3. According to the passage, the Cincinnati Red Stockings were formed in 1869A. because baseball had become more popular by then.B. to enable the amateur players to become professional.C. so that the public had the opportunity to profit from a professional team.D. to produce a means of making money.4. From the passage, we understand that the National League was formed in 1876 toA. reorganize the professional teams.B. enable more professional teams to be set up.C. to provide a governing authority for baseball.D. authorize amateur and professional teams to combine.5. According to the passage, at the turn of the century the only remaining baseball organizations wereA. the American League and the National League.B. the American League.C. the American Association and the American League.D. the American Association.【答案】1B 2C 3D 4C 5APassage 4Although stage plays have been set to music since the era(年代) of the ancient Greeks when the dramas of Sophocles and Aeschylus were accompanied by lyres(里拉琴) and flutes, the usually accepted date for the beginning of opera as we know it is 1600. As part of the celebration of the marriage of King Henry IV of France to the Italian aristocrat(贵族) Maria de Medici, the Florentine composer Jacopo Peri produced his famous Euridice, generally considered to be the first opera. Following his example, a group of Italian musicians called the Camerata began to revive(复兴) the style of musical story that had been used in Greek tragedy.1. This passage is a summary ofA. opera in Italy.B. the Camerata.C. the development of opera.D. Euridice.2. According to the author, Jacopo Peri wroteA. Greek tragedy.B. the first opera.C. the opera Maria de Medici.D. the opera The Camerata.3. We can infer that the CamerataA. was a group of Greek musicians.B. developed a new musical drama based upon Greek drama.C. was not known in Italy.D. was the name given to the court of King Henry IV.4. The author suggests that Euridice was producedA. in France.B. originally by Sophocles and Aeschylus.C. without much success.D. for the wedding of King Henry IV.5. According to this passage, modern opera began in theA. time of the ancient Greeks.B. fifteenth century.C. sixteenth century.D. seventeenth century.【答案】1C 2B 3B 4D 5DPassage 5From the outset(开始), railroad and canals were bitter competitors(激烈竞争者). For a time the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company blocked the advance of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad through the narrow gorge(峡谷) of the upper Potomac, and the State of New York prohibited railroads from hauling freight in competition with the Erie Canal and its branches. These restrictions(限制) and the slow pace of railroad building meant that canals carried twice as much tonnage as railroads even as late as 1852. But railroads had the advantage of speed and year-round operation (canals closed down for the winter freeze) and could be located almost anywhere, regardless of terrain(地形) and the availability of water. These assets, combined with a slight price advantage, produced a victory for railroads during the 1850's. By the end of the decade, they took most of the nation's passenger traffic and carried more freight than the canals.1. What drawbacks were there to the introduction of railroads in North America?A. Some of the gorges, such as the Potomac, were too narrow to use for railroads.B. It was forbidden to carry goods by railroad in New York.C. The Chesapeake and Ohio canals were more advanced than the railroads.D. It was more efficient to use the Erie Canal than the railroad.2. Until 1852 the canals carried more goods than the railroads because they wereA. less expensive.B. much quicker.C. less restricted.D. much larger.3. All of the following factors contributed to the victory of the railroads over the canals exceptA. they operated all through the year.B. they could be built on any terrain.C. they were slightly cheaper.D. they needed water for operation.4. When did the railroads carry more freight than the canals?A. During the 1850's.B. At the end of the 1850's.C. In 1852.D. By the end of the 1800's.5. What is the main subject of the passage?A. The establishment of the railroads.B. Rivalry between the canals and railroads.C. The history of trains.D. Traffic in North America.【答案】1B 2C 3D 4B 5BPassage 6Good morning, students. Today we will continue our investigation of the mosquito(蚊子).We all thought that mosquitoes follow skin odors(气味), but no such odor has been identified. It turns out, in fact, that no skin seems to be as attractive to a mosquito as a current of air(气流) having the right degree of warmth and humidity(湿度). But, a mosquito can be turned off its course by a repellent(驱蚊剂). This is how it works: a mosquito senses humidity in a airstream by means of tiny pores(气孔) in the hairs located on its antennae(触角). These hairs send electrical impulses to the central nervous system whenever they encounter humidity in the air. The repellent blocks the pores through which mosquitoes sense the presence of water vapor(水汽) in the air. As a mosquito comes in for a landing on a warm moist body, the repellent blocks the mosquito's sensors, and realizing that it has lost its moist current of air, it instinctively changes its course.1. What is the main topic of this talk?A. Independence of skin odors.B. Interaction between mosquitoes and repellents.C. The mosquito's central nervous system.D. Components of air currents.2. According to the speaker, what are mosquitoes attracted to?A. Water vapor.B. Skin odors.C. Air currents.D. Warmth and moisture.3. What does the mosquito repellent do?A. It changes the humidity of the skin.B. It blocks the pores in the hairs.C. It changes the moisture in the air.D. It blocks the hairs in the sensors.4. What happens when the mosquito comes into contact with the repellent?A. It quickly moves off in another direction.B. It sends an electrical impulse to its central nervous system.C. The pores in the hairs on its skin become blocked.D. Its sensors become blocked by the water vapor in the repellent.5. According to the passage, what can be inferred about mosquito repellents?A. A degree of instability in their use has emerged.B. More research is needed into their efficiency.C. They appear to be highly effective.D. Their reliability has yet to be proved.【答案】1B 2D 3B 4A 5C三、词汇与结构（本题共30小题，每小题3分，共90分）1.

When Americans take a break, they often head their favorite vacation place.A .intoB .ontoC .overD .for【答案】D四、完型填空(本题共30小题，每小题1分，共30分)1. Ahhh, summer. Time to relax. You cannot have complete rest if you 1 it too seriously. But taking vacations seriously is exactly 2 we Americans seem to do. In the same way our kids' free time is now packed with activities, we adults have turned vacations into "active leisure." Anytime you try very hard to relax, that's active leisure. Our vacations 3 with an agenda, a purpose. We're visiting family, attending weddings, going camping, and making sure we ride that roller coaster-no matter how long the line is. We Americans are so active in our leisure 4 we commonly complain we need a vacation from our vacations. We leave home 5 ; we come back exhausted.That's why many of us have decided not to go. Americans are 6 a few vacation days (14 days, on average) compared with other developed countries, but ironically, we don't even use them. The average American will leave four vacation days on the table this year, which adds up to a total 574 million days of 7 vacation. Our relationship to relaxation seems contradictory. We spend more money than anyone else in the world on leisure-fully one- 8 of our income-and yet at the same time we are No. 1 in the world at not taking vacations.One of the top reasons given for not taking a vacation is that it's too much extra work. We have to get 9 of our work in order to leave, and then we have to catch up on our work upon our return. The longer the vacation we take, the bigger the stumbling blocks appear. So only 14% of Americans will take a vacation two weeks or longer this summer. Bottom line: it's simply become too stressful to relax.We Americans take our time off so seriously that you can now get a Ph.D. in leisure studies at Penn State and 17 other famous universities. That's right-a doctorate, not just a bachelor's. It's such an up-and-coming field in academe that there is an actual shortage of 10 educators. We don't have enough people to teach leisure. I am tempted to make a joke about this, but I don't want to get the wrath of the leisure scientists. They'll beat me up with chairs.1. A. take B. make C. bake D. cake2.

We can make music ourselves if we play an instrument or sing. We can hear music on CDs and on radio or television. Music gives us pleasure. It can cheer us up, excite us, or 2 us.Music can be happy, sad, romantic, sleepy-all kinds of things. But what is it? Some people define it 3 an artful arrangement of sounds across time. Our ears 4 these sounds as loud or soft, high or low, rapid and short. The sounds need to continue for a time in some sort of pattern to become music.Music, 5 language, is a uniquely human form of communication. As with language, there are many different kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of music has its own rules and "speaks" to us 6 its own way.What we think of as music depends on 7 we live. What Americans are used to listening to might sound 8 to someone from another culture, and vice versa. It might not even sound like music. In Indonesia, gamelan orchestras play music on gongs, drums, and xylophones. These aren't the instruments you'd find in a 9 orchestra in North America.Today, modern communications make it 10 for us to listen to music from all over the world. Music from one part of the world influences music from another part. For example, gamelan music from Indonesia influenced 20th-century American composers such as John Cage.1.

5. What is implied in this passage?
A. A painting is more easily understood than a symphony.
B. Art is merely the arranging of shape and color.
C. Every artist tries to say something to the public.
The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
A. nothing but meaningless patterns
B. uninteresting aspects of the world
C. completely meaningless subjects
D. subjects chosen partly for their meanings
7. According to Paragraph 2, a murder would most likely occur ____.
Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary(夜盗) has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. The most uncriminal month of all? May —except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.

4. What has caused a big problem for Americans?
A. A new kind of car. B. Public transportation.
C. Poor people. D. The gas shortage.
5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?
In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.

She needs to warm up to situations, is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants, “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous. This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’triathlon (三项全能) . On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together. And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated(主宰) that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face. I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered(克服) that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before. All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine. Shine on, sweet baby.(1)、Kelly is nervous when ________.Asituations are new to herBboys are around herCshe changes into a leaderDshe is away from her mom(2)、We can know from Paragraph 3 ______.Athe race began in the early morningBthe whole family gave Kelly supportCKelly was eager for her turn in the raceDKelly prepared for her brother’s birthday party(3)、Seeing Kelly’s performance in the race, the author felt ______.Aexcited and proudBanxious and uneasyCcurious and concernedDworried and hesitant(4)、The author “felt like I won that day”because Kelly ______.Aexpressed love to herBwon the gold medalCtook part in the sportDovercame the fear212分During the winter holiday season, we often see an increase in the amount of rubbish we produce in our homes. As you prepare to celebrate the holidays, follow the simple instructions in this article to help cut the amount of rubbish produced in your home. For gift-giving: ◆Homemade gifts, such as cards, often produce less rubbish and can be a treasure to receive. This is a great idea for children to try. When wrapping (包装) gifts: ◆Use gift bags instead of wrapping paper. Gift bags are reusable and not as likely to go out with the rubbish. If you receive gifts in gift bags, be sure to store them away for future use. When entertaining: ◆Avoid the use of plastic forks, spoons and knives as much as possible. Bring out your favorite dishes for special holidays, and buy a holiday tablecloth to avoid using disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic ones. After the holidays: ◆Store your reusable decorations until next year. ◆Sort out and store reusable gift bags and gift wrap. By making a few simple changes in our holiday habits, we can cut the amount of rubbish we produce between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. And remember to continue these habits year round for a better environment for today and tomorro w’s world.(1)、To have less rubbish, children can( )as a gift.Agive a homemade cardBsend some disposable paperC choose a plastic knifeDbuy an expensive toy car(2)、It’s better for us to store gift bags because_____.A they are beautifulBthey are large enoughCwe can reuse themDwe can wrap gifts easily(3)、The writer advises us to_______.A hold some parties during the winter holidayB keep the gifts for next year after the holidayC buy cheap gifts for our friends on New Year’s DayDmake small changes to reduce the amount of rubbish12分The death of Steve Jobs provides a chance to take some lessons from his amazing life. Steve Jobs had a passion (激情) for education. He may be gone, but we still have a chance to learn from his courage and innovation (革新). Making Mistakes I think that the ma in reason why we can’t find proper ways to improve the education system that no longer serves us well is simply fear. Fear of failure. Fear of getting it wrong. Teachers fear that innovation could endanger their jobs. Steve had the attitude we need in education right now. “Sometimes when you create something, you make mistakes. It is best to admit (承认) them and get on with improving your other innovations.”That’s the kind of spirit that we need to have. Motivation (动机) Matters We’ve concentrated (专注于) so m uch on results that we don’t always reward good motivations. But these things are very important. In our schools, we’ve cared so much about test results that we’ve lost creativity. We don’t reward students for the ir hard work, and we punish failure. As a result, we lost imagination and found no motivation to try something that has a chance of ending in failure. What Defines (定义) Failure? The company that Steve Jobs started in 1985 after being forced out of Apple shows us how technology could influence educational innovation. In 1985 he started NeXT. The company was providing computers for educational purposes. NeXT wasn’t really financially (经济上) successful. But it may have been ahead of its time. Today, we see what the technology brings into the classroom. Changing Our Model The company sold around 50,000 computers. But that would be missing the point. It was a NeXTcube workstation that encouraged the first web server. It helped in the development of early Internet technology. Truly, Steve Jobs has taught us that results are not the most important things in life.(1)、The article tells us making mistakes_______.Ais always something very badB will help us become better peopleC is a part of making something newDwill keep us from reaching our dreams(2)、We may lose our creativity and imagination if we_______.Amake a lot of mistakesB fail to have a right modelC can’t be financially successfulDconcentrate too much on results(3)、Steve Jobs might agree that_______.A a good motivation can lead to a successful resultBwe shouldn’t be afraid of failure and it can lead to successC making money is the only way to judge successDhaving a passion is the most important thing for success(4)、According to the article, which word can best describe Steve Jobs’spirit?A Passion.BMotivation.CInnovation.DCreativity.412分Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation that threatens the survival of companies everywhere. It’s based on the assumption that old ideas will always work, so they shouldn’t be challenged. While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don’t change, it’s unlikely to hold true in a changing situation. In today’s rapid changing global environment, old methods often don't work, and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems. Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security. If everyone else believes it, then it must be true. Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right, and being right is good. They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work. In 1977, Ken Olsen, co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), stated “There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.” Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry, DEC no longer exists. People seem to forget that since innovation is a change, there can be no innovation without change. Unfortunately, conventional wisdom prevents leaders, followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating. If companies don’t innovate, but their competitors do, the future is likely to be problematic. Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries, so it has a powerful effect on business success. Ted Turner (founder of CNN) knew little, if anything, about the news business, but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour; as was co mmon before CNN. Turner’s solution was to create a cable channel dedicated to news 24 hours a day. The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time, and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day. However, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don’t have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work. Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information. Due to conventional thinking, the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted. They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future.

I was making sandwiches and balancing the phone between my shoulder and chin. The washing machine sounded as my husband walked in with our daughters. We had only about twenty minutes to eat before we had to take the girls to their next activity. My husband seemed a bit __1__ that dinner was not on the table. That night, I had a heavy heart, thinking we were becoming taskmasters on an assembly line (流水线). We had become too __2__ in our own tasks and not very considerate towards those around us. We needed to do something to bring back some meaning into our lives. It needed to be something that would __ 3__ our own agendas and energize us toward the common good. I bought a notebook, named it “Our Deed Diary” and held a family meeting. I told my family I wanted us all to think about doing a __4__ for others every day. It could be for each other or for people outside our__5__. And we all needed to write it down in the notebook. I thought one deed a day was too easy. However, it was actually __6__ than it seemed because it had to be something __7__ what we had already done. Sending birthday cards to people we already sent cards to every year would not count. We had a rough start. On some days, someone would forget to __8__ a good deed, while on other days, we would forget to write our good deeds in the diary. After a few weeks though, I found myself waking up in the morning trying to __9__ what good deed I could do for someone that day. My daughters began to rush to me after school to tell me the good deed they had done. Now, after a year, I am happy to say that it is making a(n) __10__ in our lives.

Everyone likes a perso n w ith good manners but no one likes a person with bad manners. "Y es", you may say , " but what are good manners? How do I know what to do and what not to do?"People all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially to those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble.Instead, he tries to help them. He is always kind, n ever cruel, either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn.He does not push to the front of the queue. In the bus, he gives his seat to an old person or a lady who is standing. If he accidentally bumps into someone, or gets in their way, he says, "excuse me" or "I'm sorry".He says "please" when making a request, and "thank you" when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not interrupt other people when they are talking. He does not talk too much himself. He does not talk loudly or laugh loudly in public. When eating, he does not speak with his mouth f ull of food.

Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated becaus e more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countrie s like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.11. What's the meaning for the word 'parchment'? ____B____B. A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.12. Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper? ___A_____A. More jobs could be provided than before.13. When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely? ____A____A. Around 1400.14. Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year? ___B____B. Sweden.15. What is the main idea of this short talk? _____C___C. The invention of paper is of great significance to man.Passage 3Long, long ago there was no zero. To write the number sixty-three people wrote 63.To write six hundred and three, people wrote 6 3.The space between six and three was there to mean." not any " tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to s ee and read.Later people used a dot to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 6.3.But the dot was hard to see. So people put a circle around it like this 6⊙3.Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space. At last, only the circle around the dot was used. It was like a zero. This is one story of how the zero came to be used.Now zero has many important uses. Zero tells how many. Can you tell some other ways of using zero?16. Long, long ago people didn't know how to ___B___.B. write zero17. Long, long ago if they wrote two hundred-eight, people wrote __B____.B. 2 818. Later __D____ was used to mean space.D. a dot19. People used circles __C____.C. not to forget the space20. The story tells us ___A___.A. how zero came to be usedB部分Passage 1As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) trend in the U.S. continue to grow.“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making afew tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books tell you how you can do thing yourself.6. We can learn from the text that many newly married people__A__.A. find it hard to pay for what they need7. John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to __B__.B. make or repair things8. When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at hom, he means Jim__D__.D. keeps house and looks after his children9. Jim Hatfield decided to become a do-it-yourselfer when__A__.A. his car repairs cost too much10. What would be the best title for the text? BB. You can Do It Too!Passage 2Tom is a little boy, and he is only seven years old. One day he went to the cinema. It is the first time for him to do that. He bought a ticket and then went in. But after two or three minutes he came out, bought a second ticket and went in again. After a few minutes he came out again and bought a third ticket. Two or three minutes later he came out and asked for an other ticket. Then the girl in the ticket office asked him, "Why do you buy so many tickets? How many friends do you meet?" Tom answered," No, I have no friend here. But a big boy alway s stops me at the door and tears（撕）my ticket to pieces."11. Tom wanted to buy ___C___ when the girl asked him.C. the fourth ticket12. The big boy stopped Tom at the door because ___A___.A. it was the big boy's job13. The big boy was __D____ at the cinema.D. a worker14. From the story we know ___B___.B. the little boy knew nothing about the cinema15. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage? CC. Tom was too young to make friends.Passage 3In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invit ation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the w orld, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from dif ferent cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for ex ample. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.16. What is the main idea of this passage? ____B____B. The role of time in social life over the world.17. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? ___B____B. A matter of life or death.18. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend? BB. at 4:00 pm.19. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ____D____D. Promptness is valued highly in American life.20. From the passage we can safely infer that ____B___.B. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC部分Passage 1Jim was intelligent, but he hated hard work. He said, “You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lot s of money and that the government doesn’t know about.”So he became a thief----but he did not do the stealing. He got others to do it. They were much less intelligent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do.One day, they were looking for rich families to rob, and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house just outside the town.It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he was a young man and a girl playing on a piano.When he went back to Jim, he said, “That family can’t have much money. Two people were playing on the same piano there.”6. The word “intelligent” in the first sentence is closest in meaning to__C__.A. interestingB. honestC. cleverD. modest7. What Jim said can be said to be__B__.A. a lieB. an excuseC. a jokeD. a truth8. Jim did not do the stealing, __C__.C. but he made stealing plans and gave orders9. Where did one of the thieves go to do the stealing? CA. To the village.B. To the city.C. To the country.D. To the town.10. It can be concluded from the story that__C__.C. the thief sent to the beautiful house was foolish enoughPassage2In 1638, John Harvard donated some money and about four hundred books to a new university. This was the beginning of the library at Harvard University. The gift was so important that the university was named for John Harvard.Thomas Bray began the first free lending library in the late 1600s. he set up more than 30 of these libraries in the American colonies. However, the idea for this kind of free library ended when Bray died in 1730. In 1731, Benjamin Franklin and some friends star ted the first subscription library in the United States. In a subscription library people pay money to become members, but they may borrow the books without paying again.In the United States, every child had a free education. This idea soon led to free libraries. One of the first libraries that used tax money to buy books was a library in Peterborough, New Hampshire. This library was set up in 1833.11. The main idea of paragraph 2 is __C__.C. Bray and Franklin were important in the history of public libraries12. The word “borrow” in line 8 means__D__.D. use for a short time and then return13. The reading does not say it, but we can guess that__C__.C. there were free schools in the United States before there were free libraries14. Harvard University began __A__.A. in 1638B. in 1730C. in 1833D. in 173115. At the library that Franklin started, __B__.B. people paid a little money in the beginning but none after thatPassage 3A million tourists go to Barcelona every year. They want to see Antonio Gaude's church. This unusual church has a strange history. Gaude was born in Spain in 1852. He had to work and study at the same time. He often missed classes because he had to work, but one day he designed a very unusual show-case for an exhibition in Paris. People began to give him work. He designed houses, offices and gardens. They were all very unusual. He was soon rich and famous. Then a rich bookseller said, "Will you build a church for the poor people of Barcelona? Iwill pay. I will build schools and workshops, too. They will help the people." "I will do it," said Gaudi. He worked for forty years, but he could not finish the church. It was too big. He needed $10,000,000. He gave all his money to the church. He was poor again when he died in 1926, and only the front of the church was finished. But architects, engineers and tourists from all over the world come to see it. It is very strange, very modern and very revolutionary.16. Which of the following titles best fits the passage? CC. A Poor Architect's Unusual Works17. Which of the following is NOT true? BB. Gaudi devoted most of his life to the building of the church18. Gaudi sometimes missed classes because ___B___.B. he had to work at the same time19.

The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancée. He had been looking at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.

大学英语2期末考试卷A

If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to be blamed, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault. Not all of us can become extremely strongor extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means——practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Whyis this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, times and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

Each passage is followedby five questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C andD, You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onthe Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1Most of the big towns in Eastern Europe have seen a large increase in population over the last 30 years. This has caused extreme housing shortages,and the vast majority of people living in towns rent flats. By westernstandards, the flats are rather small, with a family of four living in two-orthree-room flat with kitchen or bathroom. But compared with Western Europe,therents are extremely low.An Eastern European spends on average about 5 percent of his income onrent and about 15 percent on total housing costs, including fuel and furniture. In Western Europe, the average worker spends at least 20 percent of his income on rent and heating cost. On the other hand, the Eastern European spends a higher percentage of his income on food. Whereas basic items such as bread are very cheap, other things like meat and coffee are extremely expensive.Caring for people is one area where the states of Eastern Europe are farin advance of other parts of the world. Most medical and social services are provided free, and in some countries workers do not even have to make contributions to the health and insurance funds, since these contributions are made by the employer. The factory in Eastern Europe provides many facilities and services which are not supplied in Western Europe. Moreover, EasternEurope does not suffer from one of the major problems of Western Europe?s economy―unemployment. All the constitutions of the individual countriesstate that every citizen has a right and duty to work.91. The serious housing shortage in big towns of Eastern Europe have been caused mainly by________. C. an increase in population92. According to the passage, the rents in Western Europe ____. A. are rather high93. The average worker in Eastern Europe spends _______.C. a large part of his income on food.94. The worker in some Eastern European states enjoy better medical and social services because_____. B. it is their employers who pay for theirhealth and insurance funds.95. Which of the following is not true? D. Western Europe does not suffer from one of the serious problems of Eastern Europe?s economy. Passage 2Psychologists now believe that noise has a considerable effect on people?s attitudes and behavior. Experiments have proved that in noisy situations (even temporary ones), people behave more irritably and less cooperatively; in more permanent noisy situations, many people cannot work hard, and they suffer from severe anxiety as well as other psychological problems.However, psychologists distinguish between “sound” and “noise”. “Sound” is measured physically in decibels. “Noise” cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and itslevel of “intensity” depends on the situation. Thus, for passengers at an airport who expect to hear aeroplanes taking off and landing, there may be alot of sound, but not much noise (that is, they are not bothered by the noise). By contrast, if you are at a concert and two people behind you are whispering, you feel they are talking noisily even if there is not much sound. You notice the noise because it affects you psychologically.Both sound and noise can have negative effects, but what is most important is if the person has control over the sound. People walking down the streetwith earphones, listening to music that they enjoy, are receiving a lot of decibels of sound, but they are probably happy hearing sounds which they control. On the other hand, people in the street without earphones musttolerate a lot of noise which they have no control over. It is noise pollution that we need to control in order to help people live more happily.96. According to the selection, people_______. A. can not work better in a noisy situation 97. “Sound”, as defined by psychologists, ______. D. can be measured by machines.98. People waiting at an airport ______. A. enjoy hearing aeroplanestaking off and landing.99. People enjoy listening to music_______. A. though, in fact, they are receiving a lot of decibels of sound. 100. We can conclude from the passagethat we need to control noise pollution if _____. A. we want to stay both psychologically and physically healthy. Passage 3Ever since William Harvey defined an animal?s heart as “the sovereign of everything within them, the sum of their microcosm,” in De Motu Cordis in 1628, the heart has been one of the most widely studied organs of the body ? and fortunately so, given that heart disease is the world?s leading cause of death.Each year, around 8 million people die from heart attacks and manymillions more suffer from, and eventually succumb to, heart diseases such as congestive heart failure and arrhythmia (心律不齐). Global figures are rising, yet calculations suggest that this number could be slashed by around 50 percent if smoking were removed from the equation. However, decreases would be offset to some degree as the world?s population ages, diets become more fat-laden and lifestyles more sedentary (久坐的), as all these factors are harmful to a healthy heart.Although scientific study of the heart began four centuries ago, the past few decades have seen a paradigm (范例) shift in research. We are now able to monitor the process of contraction and relaxation that underlies the gross function of the heart at close quarters by tracking the movement of calcium (钙) and other ions (离子) within myocytes (肌细胞). And geneticinformation is used in trial heart gene therapy. As with all diseases, understanding the processes involved at the molecular and genetic level is enabling us to make inroads in preventing and treating heart disease.101. If there is no one smoking, people suffering from heart diseases can be reduced _________. C. by about half102. According to the passage, _________ is harmful to our hearts. B.long-time sitting 103. Scientific study of the heart _________. C. isdifferent from what it used to be104. At the molecular level, researchers study the heart _________. C. by doing trial heart gene therapy D. by observing the heart beat of the subjects 105. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Smoking used to be the only factor contributing to heart diseases.Passage 4Anini holds the singular distinction in India of being the only district capital without an all-weather road providing basic transportation. Now, in what is believed to be the most remote cyber center in all of India, a new state-of-the-art computer center has put Anini on the “information superhighway.”The facility is one of 487 free community information centers that the Government of India has been installing throughout northeastern India. TheUS$75 million project, which has wide political support, is part of a plan by the Ministry of Information Technology to bridge the digital divide inisolated corners of this vast nation, which is about a third as large as the United States and has slightly more than a billion people, a population second only to China?s. People in the region hail the computer center as the first step in what they hope will be a permanent road linking them with the outside world.Until recently, there was no road at all leading in and out of Anini. The six Pentium computers and accessories provided for the new communityinformation center had to be transported on elephant back. About a year ago, the federal government?s Border Roads Organization opened part of a 228-kilometer (141-mile) road that, when finished, will extend from Anini to the nearest road link, at Roeing. Much as it?s needed, the new unpaved road is only a start.106. Which description of Anini is true according to the passage? D. It has very bad transportation conditions.107. Anini got its new computer center _________. B. thanks to political support 108. The new computer center _________. . is warmly welcomed by the locals109. The computers and accessories _________.A. were carried to Anini by elephants 110. The 141-mile road _________.A. as not been finished Passage 5It?s very necessary for Canada to set up effective transportation system because of its enormous size with its sparsely populated distribution. It is also very difficult to make transportation construction on the surface of the country due to its harsh long winter and its mountainous terrain. It?s really amazing for this country to set up a transcontinental railroad since last century. Until 1990, the route length was more than 86,880 kilometers. Most of the country?s freight are transported by Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway. But nowadays fewer and fewer people travel by train.Water transportation was very important before railway construction. Although passenger travel by water is less important than before, waterways remain important for cargo transporting. Waterways include lakes, rivers and sea coastlines. One of the most significant water transportation system is St. Lawrence seaway from the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Lake Superior.Because of the increasing number of automobiles, Canada?s road transportation develops very quickly. In 1991, road length has been more than 849,400 kilometers. Road system is becoming more and more important. Trucks carry nearly half of the total freight transported in Canada. Early in 1962, Canada had Trans-Canada Highway with the length of more than 7.7 kilometers, extending from St. Johns, New Brunswick to Victoria, British Columbia.With the development of transportation, airplanes became another necessary vehicles since aeroplanes could be the only access to some areas of the far northern region. Canadian transportation system develops veryquickly with the increasingly advanced science and technology. The aim of the transportation is to use substitute fuels and to produce more efficient transportation facilities. 111. Despite its _________, Canada now boasts a transcontinental railroad.D. harsh long winter112. Nowadays, the Canadian railway is mainly used to _________. A. transport freight113.Nearly 50% of the total freight transported in Canada is accomplished by _________.C. trucks 114. Airplanes are important in transportation in Canada _________.D. because they can go to some areas that cannot be reached by other transports115. The passage is mainly about _________.B. the different forms of transport in Canada Passage 6Students graduating from colleges today are not fully prepared to deal with the “real world”. It is my belief that college students need to be taught more skills and information to enable them to meet the challenges that face everyone in daily life. The areas in which students need training are playing the credit game, planning their personal financial strategy, and consumer awareness.Learning how to obtain and use credit is probably the most valuable knowledge a young person can have. Credit is a dangerous tool that can be of tremendous help if it is handed with caution. Having credit can enable people to obtain material necessities before they have the money to purchase them outright. But unfortunately, many, many young people get carried away with their handy plastic credit cards and awake one day to find they are in serious financial debt. Learning how to use credit properly can be a very difficult and painful lesson indeed.Of equal importance is learning how to plan a personal budget. People have to know how to control money; otherwise, it can control them. Students should leave college knowing how to allocate their money for living expenses, insurance, savings, and so forth in order to avoid the “Oh, no! I?m flat broke and I don?t get paid again for two weeks!” anxiety syndrome.Along with learning about credit and personal financial planning, graduating college students should be trained as consumers. The consumermarket today is flooded with a variety of products and services of varying quality and prices. A young person entering the “real world” is suddenly faced with difficult decisions about which product to buy or whose services to engage. He is usually unaware of such things as return policies, guarantees, or repair procedures. Information of this sort is vital knowledge to everyday living.For a newly graduated college student, the “real world” can be a scary place to be when he or she is faced with such issues as handling credit, planning a budget, or knowing what to look for when making a purchase and whom to purchase it from. Entering this “real world” could be made less painfulif person were educated in dealing with these areas of daily life. What better place to accomplish this than in college?116. According to the writer, graduating students____________.D. do not have the necessary knowledge and skills to deal with therealities of life. 117. The writer points out that many young people_____.B. have to depend on credit to purchase some material necessities 118. Students suffer from an anxiety syndrome because____________.C. they run out of money and can?t cover their living expenses 119. To “trai n students as consumers” means to enable them to______.C. make wise purchasing decisions and be informed about consumer services120. By asking “What better place to accomplish this than in college?” the writer means that _______. A. the best place to train students to deal with personal financial issues is in college Passage 7There are many ways of putting out a fire.You may have seen people put out burning cigarettes by stepping on them. Stepping on a burning cigarette shuts off the air and puts out the fire.Many fires are put out with water. Water cools the material that is burning. It helps smother a fire, too. Some of the water is changed into steam when it strikes the hot fire. The stem shuts off air from the fire and helps put it out.Some fires cannot be put out with water. They have to be smothered with sand or with chemicals of some kind, such as those used in some fireextinguishers. Suppose a tank full of gasoline is on fire. Gasoline is lighter than water. If you poured water into the tank of gasoline, the water wouldsink to the bottom of the tank. The gasoline would float on top of the water and would probably keep on burning. If you keep on putting water on the fire, the gasoline would flow over the edge of the tank. Then the fire would spread.121. What are the major ways of putting out fires as mentioned in the passage? A. With water and with sand and chemicals.122. Water can put out a fire because _______________. B. water is the only way to put out a fire.123. Gasoline fires cannot be put out with ________________.B water 124.If you put water into the tank of gasoline, ______. D. water would not be mixed with gasoline.125. The best title of the passage would be______________. C. How to Put Out a Fire. Passage 8It is not necessary to write in order to send messages. In the old days, people who could not write used to send messages to one another in manydifferent ways.The Indians used smoke to send signals. They made a fire and put wet grass on it. Then they covered the fire with a wet blanket. After a few moments,they took the blanket away again. This made a cloud of smoke. They could send simple messages in this way. One cloud of smoke meant, “Danger”. Two cl ouds meant, “ Everything is all right.” Three clouds meant, “Help”.In the thick forest of Africa, it used to be difficult to travel fromvillage to village. But drums could be heard from many miles away. People in this part of the world discovered that they could use their drums for sending messages. They did not use a special code like the Morse Code. They made their drums “speak” like people. They did this by playing tunes that sounded like simple sentences in their languages.The Incas of South America never developed a way of writing their language, but they used to send messages by trying knots in rope. Men used to run with such knotted ropes from town to town along the Inca roads. Many of these rope messages have been found, but nobody can understand what they mean.126. In the old days, people____________. ed different ways to send messages127. Which of the following took place first when Indians used smoke tosend messages? B They covered the fire with wet grass.128. ________used to send messages by playing tunes on drums. A.Africans 129. Which of the following is true according to the passage?D. Nobody now can understand what the Incas meant by trying knots in rope.130. The best title of the passage would be __.D .ending Messages. Passage 9Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is amuscular sense responsible for directingyour muscles intelligently---to the exact extent necessary for each actionyou perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerveslinking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at eh correct spot. Thisautomatic perception of the position of your muscles on relation to the objectis your muscular sense in action.Muscles are stringy bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth ofan inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics: theycan become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; and they can retract totheir original positions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue isseen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half a person?s body is composed of muscle fibers, most ofwhich are involuntary―in other感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

She wishes that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume. Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experience: people trod on your toes, poked you with their elbows and almost knocked you over in their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you.Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on display. "They are real silk," the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. "Worth doubles the price." But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of man had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale-----and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate for long: although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bund to please him.When she got home, with her small well-chosen present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially cheerful mood, "Your father has at last to decide to stop smoking." She informed her daughter.36.

《大学英语(2)期末考试卷A(可编辑修改word版)

You have no social life other than work-related events.
（翻译题请在此空白处答题，否则不得分）你不分工作和家庭
即使在家，你的工作也是最重要的。
你一心扑在工作上，只有在工作中才能找到快乐。工作似乎总是在家庭和娱乐之上。
除了与工作有关的事情，你就没有社交生活了。
In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so muchgas.
The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.

1. This passage is mainly about _________.
A. why we dream during sleep
B. how we dream during sleep
C. what dreams are
D. what benefits dreams bring to people
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.
激发思维，考虑你的花费以及如何削减他们。在纸上记下来是很明智的，因为这样更容易消减费用。例如，你可以乘坐公共交通工具来减少汽油的用量吗？如果你经常在外面吃饭，可以考虑多在家里吃。反思你的购物习惯。

Dream is a story that a person “watches” or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer’s life. They seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening.
Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.
In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
A. studying the benefits of dreams
B. trying to make the sleeper dream logically
C. trying to help the dreamer recall his earlier dreams
D. helping the sleeper fulfill his dream
Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory, and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep——but are awakened each time they begin to dream——become anxious and restless.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.
C. Dream is an imaginary store which seems real while taking place.
D. Dream is related to the dreamer’s real life.

Do some brainstorming about your expenses and how you could possibly cut back on them. It is wise to write them down on paper because it is less easy to dismiss them that way. For example, can you cut down on the amount of gas you use by taking public transportation? If you eat out often, consider making more meals at home.Examine your buying habits.
Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color, but persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.
Some dreams involve deep feelings that a person may not realize he has. Psychiatrists(精神病医生) often use material from a patient’s dreams to help the person understand himself better.
5. We may infer from the passage that dreaming _______.
A. is beneficial to people
B. disturbs people’s life
C. makes people always restless
D. deprives people of good sleep
3. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Dream is a confusing story which involves little logic thought
B. Dream involves events that always happen in real life.

A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.
