It is a dream laboratory where researchers are at work studying dreamers. Their findings have discovered that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night, although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams.While the subjectsusually studentssleep, special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of a dream. Surprisingly, all subjects sleep soundly. Observers report that a person usually fidgets(烦躁不安) before a dream. Once the dream has started, his body relaxes and his eyes become more active, as if the curtain had gone up on a show. As soon as the machine shows that the dream is over, a buzzer wakens the sleeper. He sits up, records his dream, and goes back to sleepperhaps to dream some more.Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream, he can usually recall the entire dream. If he is allowed to sleep even five more minutes, his memory of the dream will have disappeared.56. According to the passage, researchers at the University of Chicago are studying _.A. contents of dreams B. dreamers while they dreamC. the meaning of dreams D. the progress of sleeping57. Their finding has discovered that _.A. everyone dreams every night B. dreams are easily rememberedC. dreams are likely to be frightening D. one person dreams only one dream a night58. The machines being used in the experiment record _.A. the depth of sleep B. the subjects brain waves and eye movementsC. how many dreams a person has D. what a sleeper dreams during his sleep59. A person would be most likely to remember the dream that _.A. was of most interest to him B. occurred immediately after he went to sleepC. occurred just before he woke up D. was the longest one to himBIt is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself. It is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the nature order, this will almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.The cutting of forests reduced the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals led to the wide-spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean hurt life in the sea, while waste gases changed the chemical balance of the atmosphere and shut out some of the suns necessary life-giving rays. And so we could go on adding more examples until in despair(绝望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but he is not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be. Man may well destroy himself because of his silly action.60. The first paragraph tells us that _.A. all living things in nature depend on each otherB. everything in nature cant exist without the help of manC. man has known the importance of the balance of nature for a long timeD. no living thing can live naturally61. In the second paragraph the examples given are used to prove that _.A. all forms of life belong to a system in which all the parts can be changed for one anotherB. it is only during the last few years that man has generally known the balance of natureC. there are some living things which can exist by themselves without changeD. we cant change one form of life without destroying the balance of nature62. The last paragraph suggests that in order to get his immediate benefits(利益) _.A. man is always anxious to control his activities within limitsB. man is always too eager in planning for distant futureC. man often fails to think about their future results of his actionD. man often feels that he will have to give up in despair63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Cutting down woods does little harm to human beings.B. Man has to pay much more attention to the future results of his present action.C. Oxygen comes from forests.D. The passage tells us to try our best to get as much as possible immediately.CWanted, Someone for a KissWere looking for producers to join us on the sound of London Kiss 100 FM.

They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10, 330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35,800 feet.All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. Gradually they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment, men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964 he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.Many countries are now studying undersea living things. The former Soviet Union had an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough mineral, vegetable, and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world.68. In order to _, scientists are exploring below the surface of the ocean.A. know about the ocean water deep in the oceanB. know about the plant and animal life deep in the oceanC. stay down longer to study life of the plant and animal below the surfaceD. both A and B69. Who set up the first undersea station?A. A Frenchman B. An American C. A Russian D. The passage made no mention70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Nobody can stay below the surface of the ocean.B. The early divers could not stay below the surface of the ocean for very long.C. The purpose of setting up the undersea laboratories is to make plans for the use of the resources in the ocean.D. Up to now only five women scientists have stayed in the undersea laboratory.第二节（共5 小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。71 You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Heres how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. 72 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television.
