共用题干The Meaning of Dreams1 Dreams play an important role in our lives.If they can be correctly interpreted,we can come to understand ourselves better. Here,we look at four common dreams and what they potentially symbolize.2 I can see their laughing faces…laughing at me. But they aren't as smart. If they were,they'd be up here flying with me!This dream has both positive and negative connotations（涵义）.On the positive side,the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday routine.It can also be interpreted as a powerful desire to achieve.On the other hand,this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent an inferiority complex（自卑情 结）,which the dreamer attempts to escape from by putting themselves up above others.3 I'm moving fast now,but it's still behind me. Doesn't matter how fast I go,I still can't escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality（生命力）like the first one,it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually,fear is the dominant emotion.By running hard,the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However,they can also stumble（瞒珊）or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes the fear even more terrifying（恐怖的）.One possible interpretation suggests that the person is under pressure in their everyday life.4 I'm sweating and my heart is beating. I'm trapped in my own bed. In this dream,the person is often standing on a high,exposed place such as on the top of a tower,or on the edge of a cliff. The overwhelming（强烈的）feeling changes from anxiety to a loss of control. There is nothing to stop the person, and the feeling as they go over the edge can be horrifyingly（恐怖地）real. Fortunately,just before hittingtheground,the dreamer awakens with a sense of enormous relief. This dream suggests that the dreamer is afraid of losing control and has a fear of failure or even death.5 The wind is pushing me and I slip. There's nothing I can do…nothing I can hold on to. This symbol is associated with fear:suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They try hard to move their arms and legs,but they simply cannot.Frozen in a terrifying situation with no escape,they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by.Another frequent context for this dream is failing to do something in public,often something which you are normally very good at,such as your job.Not only is this extremely embarrassing,but it also shows a deep-seated phobia（恐惧）of losing a job and a livelihood.Paragraph 3__________A: Dream of Running HardB: Dream of Falling DownC:Dream of being Pushed AwayD:Dream of Flying Into the Air E:Dream of Climbing Trees.F:Dream of Diving Into the Water

共用题干第二篇Human and the EarthIn terms of the evolution of life on Earth,human beings have just arrived.Despite their shori time on Earth,however,people have brought about enormous changes to the surface of the planet一changes far out of proportion to the interval of time they have occupied it.People have more control over their surroundings than any other species on Earth.With the combination of intelligence and manual skill(allowing us to make and use tools),people have found ways to use plant and animal resources,mineral ores,fuels,and many other materials and resources from the Earth.As the number of people on Earth increases,it becomes increasingly difficult for the population to survive on the resources of the land.The amount of land is limited.Although agricultural production can be increased by use of machinery such as tractors and the addition of fertilizer,the land ultimately can produce only so much food and no more.As the human population grows,people consume more.Clearly,some locations on Earth already have too many people;in many of these areas,future increases will surely bring about more poverty and suffering. Yet people in rich nations use proportionally far more of the available resources than people in poorer nations.As they consume these resources without restraint,they also waste large amounts of them.People are only a very small fraction of all the living things on the planet.Yet their numbers create a drain on resources that can't be renewed.For example,the amount of water on Earth is limited,this water is cleaned through natural processes.However,the natural processes for filtering water can clean only a certain amount of water by removing the pollution.Likewise,a limited amount of petroleum can be found under the Earth's surface.Petroleum is a valuable resource.Should people use it up to manufacture petrol for automobiles?As people work to control the planet and make life comfortable,are they using up resources that are needed for their survival?Who use more available resources according to the passage?A:Rich people on Earth. B:Poor people on Earth.C:People in developed countries. D:People in developing countries.

共用题干Living Alone Is Joyful More and more Americans are living alone.Some live alone because of divorce or the death of a partner. _______（46) According to a recent U.S.census（人口普查）,25 percent of all households in the U.S.are made up of just one person.This is dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple of generations ago. The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely．______(47)The majority of these people have chosen to live alone.They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family.

共用题干第二篇Life Connected with ComputerAfter too long on the Net,even a phone call can be a shock.My boyfriend's Liverpudlian accent sud- denly becomes indecipherable after the clarity of his words on screen,a secretary's tone seems more rejecting than I'd imagined it would be.Time itself becomes fluid一hours become minutes,and alternately seconds stretch into days.Weekends,once a highlight of my week,are now just two ordinary days.For the last three years,since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose,I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit articles and edit them via E-mail and communicate with colleagues on In- ternet mailing lists.My boyfriend lives in England,so much of our relationship is computer-mediated.If I desired,I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything.I can order food,and manage my money,love and work.In fact,at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home,going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries.I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV.But after a while,life itself begins to feel unreal.I start to feel as though I've merged with my ma- chines,taking data in,spitting them back out,just another node on the Net.Others on line report the same symptoms.We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It's like attending an A.A.meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink.We have become the Net Opponents' worst nightmare.What first seemed like a luxury,crawling from bed to computer,not worrying about hair,and clothes and face,has become an avoidance,a lack of discipline.And once you start replacing real human contact with cy- ber-interaction,coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.At times,I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background,something that I'd never done previously.The voices of the programs soothe me,but then I'm jarred by the commercials.I find myself sucked in by soap operas,or compulsively needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather."Date- line,""Frontline,""Nightline,"CNN,NewYork 1,every possible angle of every story over and over,evenwhen they are of no possible use to me.Work moves from foreground to background.What is the author's attitude to the comnputer?A:She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.B:She dislikes it because it cuts off her relation with the outside world.C:She has become bored with it.D:She likes it because it is very convenient.
共用题干Traffic Jams一No End in Sight1 Traffic congestion（拥堵）affects people throughout the world. Traffic jams cause smog in dozens of cities across both the developed and developing world. In the U. S.,commuters（通勤人员）spend an average of a full working week each year sitting in traffic jams,according to the Texas Transportation Institu-te.While alternative ways of getting around are available,most people still choose their cars because they are looking for convenience,comfort and privacy.2 The most promising technique for reducing city traffic is called congestion pricing,whereby cities charge a toll to enter certain parts of town at certain times of day.In theory,if the toll is high enough,some drivers will cancel their trips or go by bus or train.And in practice it seems to work:Singapore,London and Stockholm have reduced traffic and pollution in city centres thanks to congestion pricing.3 Another way to reduce rush-hour traffic is for employers to implement flexitime,which lets employees travel to and from work at off-peak traffic times to avoid the rush hour. Those who have to travel during busy times can do their part by sharing cars.Employers can also allow more staff to telecommute(work from home)so as to keep more cars off the road altogether.4 Some urban planners still believe that the best way to ease traffic congestion is to build more roads, especially roads that can take drivers around or over crowded city streets.But such techniques do not really keep cars off the road;they only accommodate more of them.5 Other,more forward-thinking,planners know that more and more drivers and cars are taking to the roads every day,and they are unwilling to encourage more private automobiles when public transport is so much better both for people and the environment.For this reason,the American government has decided to spend some$7 billion on helping to increase capacity on public-transport systems and upgrade them with more efficient technologies.But environmentalists complain that such funding is tiny compared with the$50 billion being spent on roads and bridges.Most American drivers think it convenient to_________.A:go by busB:encourage more private carsC:drive aroundD:spend more moneyE:reduce traffic jamsF:travel regularly
共用题干第二篇Although it can be argued that voice,and E-mail are more efficient,and in many ways,more convenient,I still prefer to communicate in person,or if that is not possible,by telephone.In my expenence,face-to-face interactions are best for a number of reasons.In the first place,when you hear the speaker's tone of voice,you are better able to judge the attitude and emotions that can be easily hidden in a written reply.In addition,the exchange is more immediate.Even instant messaging isn't as fast as a verbal interaction in person or by phone.E-mail seems efficient;however, sometimes multiple messages over several days are required to clarify the information that a short phone call would have taken care of in one communication.We have all tried to return a voice mail only to hear a recording on the original caller's voice mail. Clearly,no real communication is possible in a situation that only allows one person to talk.Moreover,the body language and the expression on the speaker's face often communicate more than the words themselves.Research indicates that more than 80 percent of a message is nonverbal.The way that a speaker stands or sits can indicate interest or disagreement.The eye contact and the movement of the eyebrows and the mouth can actually communicate the opposite of the words that the speaker is saying. Finally,no technology has succeeded in duplicating a firm handshake to close a deal,a hug to encourage a friend,or a kiss goodbye.Until E-mail and voice mail can provide the subtle communication,the immediate interaction,and the emotional satisfaction of a face-to-face conversation,complete with facial expressions and gestures,I will prefer to talk instead of to type.The writer prefers face-to-face communication because of the following reasons except________.A:face-to-face communication is more immediate and you can judge the speaker's attitude and emotionsB:you can talk to many people at the same time in a face-to-face communicationC:nonverbal language conveys more meaning than verbal language in a communicationD:you can get emotional satisfaction by having physical contact with the person you are talking to in a face-to-face communication

共用题干The Meaning of Dreams1 Dreams play an important role in our lives.If they can be correctly interpreted,we can come to understand ourselves better. Here,we look at four common dreams and what they potentially symbolize.2 I can see their laughing faces…laughing at me. But they aren't as smart. If they were,they'd be up.here flying with me!This dream has both positive and negative connotations（涵义）.On the positive side,the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday routine.It can also be interpreted as a powerful desire to achieve.On the other hand,this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent an inferiority complex（自卑情 结）,which the dreamer attempts to escape from by putting themselves up above others.3 I'm moving fast now,but it's still behind me. Doesn 't matter how fast I go. I still can 't escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality（生命力）like the first one,it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually,fear is the dominant emotion.By running hard,the dreamer can possibly escape the threat.However,they can also stumble or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes the fear even more terrifying.One possible interpretation suggests that the person is under pressure in their everyday life.4 I'm sweating and my heart is beating. I'm trapped in my own bed. In this dream,the person is often standing on a high,exposed place such as on the top of a tower,or on the edge of a cliff. The overwhelming（强烈的）feeling changes from anxiety to a loss of control. There is nothing to stop the person, and the feeling as they go over the edge can be horrifyingly real.Fortunately,just before hitting the ground, the dreamer awakens with a sense of enormous relief. This dream suggests that the dreamer is afraid of losing control and has a fear of failure or even death.5 The wind is pushing me and I slip. There 's nothing I can do…nothing I can hold on to. This symbol is associated with fear:suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement.They try hard to move their arms and legs,but they simply cannot.Frozen in a terrifying situation with no escape,they become more andmore terrified as the seconds go by.Another frequent context for this dream is failing to do something in public,often something which you are normally very good at,such as your job.Not only is this extremely embarrassing,but it also shows a deep-seated phobia（恐惧）of losing a job and a livelihood.Paragraph 4_________A:Dream of Diving Into the WaterB:Dream of Running HardC:Dream of Falling DownD:Dream of Flying Into the AirE:Dream of Being Pushed AwayF:Dream of Climbing Trees
