1、阅读理解（共20 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分）阅读下面的短文， 从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C 和 D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem:

2、 It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle. Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine.

3、 When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in

4、the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe

5、design and build the first really practised sewing machine. Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte a

6、lso drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre. To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious( 无意识的 ), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have h

7、ad during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this p art of 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 1 页，共 24 页 - - - - - - - - - the brain can send messages

8、to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”. 1.According to the passage, Elias Howe was_. A. the first

9、person we know of who solved problems in his sleep B. much more hard-working than other inventors C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams 2.The problem Howe was trying to solve was_.

10、. how to design a needle which would not break C. where to put the needle D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle 3.Thomas Edison is spoken of because_. A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine B. he got some of his ideas from dreams C. he was one of Howe s best friends

11、 D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep 4.Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because _. A. strange images are used to communicate ideas B. images which have no meaning are used C. we can never understand the real meaning D. only specially trained people can understand th

12、em BLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will“obey”spoken instructions some time before they can 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - -

13、 - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 2 页，共 24 页 - - - - - - - - - speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises

14、.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendline

15、ss, and so on. But since these cant be said to show the baby s intention to communicate ,they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store.

16、This self-imitation（模仿） leads on to deliberate （有意的） imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word

17、depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply beca

18、use he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an at

A.they need equal amount of listening B.they need different amounts of listening C.they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions D.they can t understand and obey the adult s oral instructions 6.Children w

A.an expression of his moods and feelingsB.an early form of language C.a sign that he means to tell you somethingD.an imitation of the speech of adults 8.The problem of deciding at what point a baby s imitations can be considered as

22、 speech_. A.is important because words have different meanings for different people B.is not especially important because the changeover takes place graduallyC.is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age D.is one that should be completely ignored （忽略） beca

A.parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds B.children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak C.children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly D.even after they have learnt to speak,

24、 children still enjoy imitating CThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a womans life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle

25、 twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made

26、 it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 4 页，共 24 页 - - - - - - - - - womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work

27、 until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances （家用电器） and convenience foods. This important change in women s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls

28、left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age ,and though women tend to marry younger ,more married wom

29、en stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both h

34、e printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value. The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In

35、 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer- Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps. Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instru

Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know

In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, youve learned it fairly

49、well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect. This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, youll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. 名师资料总结 -
