Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping. Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses (感觉)—smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. We dream in colour. Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again. These repeated(重复的) dreams are often unpleasant. They may even be nightmares—bad dreams that frighten us.

     Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist(心里学家) Sigmund Freud published a book called “The Interpretation(诠释) of Dreams” in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can’t have. These dreams often have something to do with sex and aggression(侵犯). Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions(解答) to problems we face when we are awake. He didn’t believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression. Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of people’s brains while they are sleeping.

     Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions(感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Doctor Stickgold says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires(愿望).

     Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stickgold says it has been more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud published his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.

In the decade(十年)of the 1970s, the United Nations organized several important meetings on the human environment to study a very serious problem.We humans are destroying the world around us.We must learn to protect them, or life will be very bad for our children and grandchildren.

       There are several major aspects to this problem.

       Population

       Most problems of the environment come from population growth.In 1700 there were 635 million people in the world; in 1900 there were 1.6 billion; in 1950, 2.5 billion; and in 1980, 4.4 billion.In the year 2010 there will be 7.3 billion.More people need more water, more food, more wood, and more petroleum.

       Distribution

       Scientists say there is enough water in the world for everyone, but some countries have a lot of water and some have only a little.Some areas get all rain during one season.The rest of the year is dry.

       Petroleum

       We are using up the world’s petroleum.We use it in our cars and to heat our buildings in winter.Farmers use petrochemicals to make the soil rich.They use them to kill insects on those plants.These chemicals go into rivers and lakes and kill the fish there.Thousands of people also die from these chemicals every year.Chemicals also go into the air and pollute it.Winds carry this polluted air to other countries and other countries.

       Poverty

       Poor farmers use the same land over and over.The land needs a rest so it will be better next year.However, the farmer must have food every year.Poor people cut down trees for firewood.In some areas when the trees are gone, the land becomes desert.However, people need wood to cook their food now.Poor people cannot save the environment for the future.

       We now have the information and the ability to solve these huge problems.However, this is not a problem for one country or one area of the world.It is a problem for all humans.The people and the nation of the world must work together to protect the world’s resources.No one controls the future, but we all help make it.

According to the passage, our world is being destroyed mainly because ______.

       A.pollution is getting worse and worse   

B.population are increasing greatly

       C.we humans are using up all of our natural resources

       D.distribution is not reasonable.

Good distribution means ________.

       A.having things in the right place at the right time.

       B.cutting down forests and selling them to other countries.

       C.building water systems to carry water to farms.

       D.conserving our natural resources

The best title of the passage should be ________

       A.The World Being Destroyed    

       B.A Serious Problem We Should Pay Attention to

       C.Aspects That Destroyed Our World

       D.Conserving the World’s Natural Resources

Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact(互动)these days.The term is “networked individualism”.This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings.How can we be individuals(个体)and be networked at the same time?You need other people for networks.

Here is what Professor Wellman means.Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail,our social networks included live interactions with relatives,neighbors,and friends.Some of the interaction was by phone,but it was still voice to voice,person to person,in real time.

A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people,electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction.However,a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing.Why?

In the past,many people were worried that the Internet isolated(孤立)us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer.But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true.The Internet connects us with more real people than expected—helpful people who can give advice on careers,medical problems,raising children,and choosing a school or college.About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.

Thanks to the computer,we are able to be alone and together with other people—at the same time!

The underlined phrase “networked individualism”probably means that by using computers people_______.

A.stick to their own ways no matter what other people say

B.have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest

C.do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people

D.are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people

According to the Pew study,what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?

A.Networks.                                                    B.Friends.                   

C.Phones.                                                        D.Parents.

It can be inferred from the Pew study that_______.

A.people have been separated from each other by using computers

B.the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely

C.the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication

D.a lot of people regard the person-toperson communication as good thing

Which would be the best title for this passage?

A.We’re Alone on the Internet.

B.We’re Communicating on the Internet.

C.We’re Alone Together on the Internet.

D.We’re in the Imaginary World of the Internet.

阅读表达
    阅读下面的短文,根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)
     An American friend of mine who was high up in a big corporation had worked out a way of handling
a flood of e-mails before most of us had even heard of the concept. If any information he was sent was
vital enough, his lack of response would ensure the sender rang him up. If the sender wasn't important
enough to have his private number, the communication couldn't be that important, My friend is now even
more senior in the same company, so the strategy must work.    
     Almost every week now, there seems to be a report suggesting that we are all being driven crazy by
the bother of e-mail. If this is the case, it's only because we haven't devel-oped an appropriate
discrimination in dealing with it.      
              Firstly, you junk anything with an exclamation mark or a string of capital letters,or from any
address you don't recognize or feel confident about.    
     Secondly, e-mails don't all have to be answered. Because e-mailing is so easy, there's a tendency for
correspondence to carry on for ever, but it is permissible to stop an endless dis-cussion or to accept a
point of information sent by a colleague without acknowledging it.    
     Thirdly, a reply e-mail doesn't have to be the samelength as the original. We all have e-mail pals who
send long, chatty e-mails, which are nice to receive, but who then expect an equally long reply. Then
charm of e-mail can consist in the simple, incomplete sentence, totally regardless of the format of the
letter sent by post. You are perfectly within the bounds of politeness in responding to a marathon e-mail
with a brief reply.
    
1. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?      
The possible existence of annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails.      
________________________________________________________      
________________________________________________________    
2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence.(within 10 words)        
______________________________________________________    
3. What advice is given in the last paragraph?  (within l0 words)        
______________________________________________________    
4. For what purpose does the author mention his American friend in Paragraph l? (within 10 words)       
 ______________________________________________________    
5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.        
_____________________________________________________
