Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉).

　　ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.

　　Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.

　　There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.

　　A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."

　　Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!

　　Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.

44．According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is_________.

　　A．in existence B．imaginative C．not real D．impossible

45．ESP lets people know___________.

　　A．about events before they happen

　　B．about events after they happen

　　C．about events that are happening some distance away

　　D．A and C

46．In the last paragraph the underlined word "coincidences" probably means ____.

　　A．things that may not happen

　　B．things that happen in a dream

　　C．things that must happen

　　D．things that happen by accident

47．This article is mainly about_________.

　　A．the human dream         B．the sixth sense

　　C．the human mind          D．a crowded bus

完型填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）

The last day of the final examination arrived. In a large eastern university, on the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few 26. On their faces was confidence. This was their 27 exam—then on to graduation and jobs.

　　Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they 28 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 29 and able to take control of the world.

　　The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 30 task, as the professor had said they could bring 31books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 32 each other during the test.

　　33 they entered the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. And smiles 34 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.

　　Three hours had passed 35 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.

　　He looked at the 36 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 37 a hand was raised.

　　“How many answered four?” Still no hand.

　　“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.

　　“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 38 .”But the class remained silent.

　　The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 39 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 40 many things about the 41 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in 42 practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 43 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 44 .”

The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the 45 he taught.
