your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. if light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.25. you can see the book because_.a. your eyes are close to itb. your eyesight can get to itc. it has light of its

his desk. so what do you expect him to say? hell probably say, “fine, im all right.” but youve put a bug in his ear一maybe now hes not sure. if you are a good friend，you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he did not realize that morning. it starts worrying him a littlefirst thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily（愉快的） on your way asking someone else “how do you feel?”. every question has its time and place. its perfectly acceptable, for example, to ask “how do you feel? if youre visiting a close friend in the hospital. but if the fellow（家伙） is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, its no time to ask him that silly question when george bernard shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “how do you feel”, shaw put him in his place. “when you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or youre dead.”28. according to the writer, greetings, such as “how do you feel?” _.a. show ones consideration for others b. are a good way to make friendsc. are proper to ask a man in action d. generally make one feel uneasy29. george bernard shaws reply in the passage shows his _.a. cheerfulness b. cleverness c. ability d. politeness30. “youve put a bug in his ear” means that youve_.a. made him laugh b. shown concern（关心）for himc. made fun of himd. given him some kind of warningclet 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 influence 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.31. from the passage we know that our dreams .a. are imagination of our daily life b. are mans curious look into the futurec. have nothing to do with our feelings d. are to some degree connected with our feelings32. in your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that .a. you are in a state of being cold b. you are in a state of being tiredc. you are in a state of hunger d. you should have had your dinner that day33. some scientists explanation of dreams .a. is not widely accepted though a bit reasonableb. gives an exact description of our lifec. provides us with information of dreamsd. is of no use for usdthinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. to be human is to think. but thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. thinking about drinking is the key to critical（判断性的）thinking. when you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes. otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of othersindeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.the word “critical” here has a special meaning. it does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. the nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on tv, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the incorrect reasoning. critical thinking is an attitude（态度）as much as an activity. if you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper（希望深挖）into it, you are a critical thinker. if you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker. activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning（高阶推理）are processes of deep and careful consideration. they take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in todays world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. if you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence（智力）, you may learn something new from a story about albert einstein. the first time banesh hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with albert einstein. hoffman was too nervous to speak. but einstein immediately put hoffman at ease by saying, “please go slowly. i dont understand things quickly.”34. critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _.a. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastb. we might be controlled by other peoples ideasc. we will follow the ideas of others naturally d. we might be footed by other peoples ideas35. if you are a critical thinker, you will _.a. think deeply about different ideas b. trust the reports in the newspapersc. take one view against another view d. criticize other people for their mistakes36. in the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that_.a. the smarter you are, the faster you do things b. the faster you do things, the smarter you becomec. speed can improve intelligence d. intelligence is not decided by speed37. what would be the best title for the passage? a. thinking and critical thinking. b. understanding critical thinking.c. thinking is natural and human. d. thinking fast means intelligence.第ii卷（主观题 共40分）四、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分）(a) 根据句意，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。1. your classroom has been cleaned by the robots, now _( they) is being cleaned. 2. he
