    E Let us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source .They are not a look into the future, either. All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today. So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping(feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.)and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom. To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands! There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out. 76. From the passage we know that our dreams . A. are imagination of our daily life B. are man’s curious look into the future C. have nothing to do with our feelings D. are to some degree connected with our feelings 77. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicatesthat . A. you are in a state of being cold B. you are in a state of being tired C. you are in a state of hunger D. you should have had your dinner that day 78. Older children often dream of examinations probably because . A. they are interested in exams B. they are often worried about their studies C. they hope for better life D. they show much interest in their studies 79. Some scientists’ explanation of dreams . A. is not widely accepted though a bit reasonable B. gives an exact description of our life C. provides us with information of dreams D. is of no use for us 80. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The subject of our dreams is usually something useless. B. In most people’s dreams they often plan something of great importance. C. Children often dream of fairies because they are full of imagination. D. Some of the past experiences may appear in people’s dreams. 2.4.6 第Ⅱ卷 【查看更多】

    Life in 2060

    　　Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe (假装；虚构) it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.

    　　Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old.

    　　What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.

    　　Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.

    　　Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.

    　　People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animal decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.

    　　Such would be our life in 2060.

    　　What will man be like in the future－in 5000 or even 50 000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today．For man is slowly changing all the time．

    　　Let us take an obvious example．Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today．Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller．Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller．

    　　Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal．Even so, we still make use of only about 20％ of the brain’s capacity．As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and eventually we shall need larger ones!This is likely to bring about a physical change too：the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger．

    　　Nowadays our eyes are in constant use．In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses．But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger．

    　　On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs．These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker．At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life．

    　　But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer．In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald!

    　　Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true．All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us．He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own．

    (1)

    will grow faster

    B．

    will be in use

    will play an important part

    D．

    [　　]

    A．

    have bigger eyes

    B．

    get weaker eyes

    　　As I travel across China, I hope to learn as much as I can about the Chinese people, your history, and your dreams for the future and I hope to help the Chinese people understand more of America's history, the lessons the American people have drawn from it, and the dreams we hold for the 21st century.
