8、 from ten to thirty minutes.Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument whichmeasures the electrical waves in the brain.During dreaming,these waves move more quickly.Breathing and pulse rate also increase,and there are rapid eye movements under the lids,just asthough

9、the dreamer were really looking at moving objects.These signs of dreaming have beendetected in all mammals（哺 乳 动 物）studied,including dogs,monkeys,cats,and elephants,and also some birds and reptiles（爬 行 动 物）.This period of sleep is called the Dn state foraround 50%of their sleep：the period reduces to

24、 分，共 4 5分）下 面 有 3 篇 短 文，每 篇 短 文 后 有 5 道 题。请 根 据 短 文 内 容，为 每 题 确 定 1个 最 佳 选 项。第 一 答 Trying to Find a FartherOne of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the peopleinbterviewed,one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start afamily with.Why a

25、re many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships?Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love?Or are we making it harder for ourselves?It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways fromrelationships.Women no longer r

26、ely upon partners for economic security or status.A man doesntexpect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that ittakes much more to persuade people to abandon their inde

27、pendence.In theory,finding a partner should be much simpler these days.Only a few generations ago,your choice of soulmate（心 上 人）was constrained by geography,social convention and familytradition.Although it was never explicit,many marriages were essentially arranged.Now those barriers have been brok

28、en down.You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon inany bar in any city on any given evening.When the world is your oyster（牡 蛎），you surely havea better chance of finding a pearl.But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint：thetyranny of choice.The expect

29、ations of partners are inflated to an unmanageable degree：good looks,impressivesalary,kind to grandmother,and right socks.There is no room for error in the first impression.We think that a relationship can be perfect.If it isn*t,it is disposable.We work to protectourselves against future heartache a

30、nd dont put in the hard emotional labor needed to build astrong relationship.Of course,this is complicated by realities.The cost of housing andchild-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.31.What does the recent poll show?A.It is getting more difficult

31、for a woman to find her husband.B.It is getting increasingly difficult to start a family!.C.It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife.D.It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse.32.Which of the following is NOT true about a contemporary m

32、arried couple?A.The wife doesnt have to raise the children all by herself.B.The husband doesnt have to support the family all by himself.C.The wife is no longer the only person to manage the household.D.They will receive a large sum of money from the government.33.Which of the following was NOT a co

33、nstraint on one*s choice of soulmate in the olddays?A.The health condition of his or her grandmother.B.The geographical environment.C.The social convention.D.The family tradition.34.Which of the following is NOT expected of a partner according to this passage?A.Good looks.B.An impressive career.C.A

34、high salary.D.A fine sense of humor.35.The wordsustainH(paragraph 2)could be best replaced byA.“reduce”.B.“shake”.C.maintain.D.weaken.A Very Slow RideThe surface of the earth may seem very stable to you.But you might be amazed if you knewsome of the things that are going on under that surface.The ea

35、rth has an outer shell of rigid pieces called tectonic plates(地 壳 构 造 板 块)。Theplates include both ocean floor and dry land.Some have whole continents on top of them.Thecontinents on top of the plates are just going along for a slow ride,moving only about four inchesper year.But even this small movem

36、ent causes three types of big interactions.One type is ocean ridges.These ridges develop in places where two plates are moving awayfrom each other.As the plates separate,hot magma（岩 浆）flows up to fill the space.New crust（地 壳）builds up on the plate boundaries and causes ocean ridges.These ridges form

37、 longmountain ranges,which only rise above the ocean surface in a few places.Another type of reaction-trenches-occurs between two plates that are moving toward eachother.As the plates meet,one bends downward and plunges underneath the other.This forms deepocean trenches.The Marianas Trench off Guam

38、in the western Pacific Ocean has a depth of morethan 36,000 feet.This is the lowest point on the ocean floor.If the leading edges of the twocolliding plates carry continents,then the layers of rock in the overriding plate crumple（变 皱）and fold.A plate that carried what is now India collided with the

39、southern edge of the plate thatcarried Europe and most of Asia.This caused the Himalayas,the worlds highest mountains.The third reaction is transform faults（转 换 断 层）。These faults occur where two plates thatare traveling in opposite directions slide past each other.Severe earthquakes can occur.The Sa

40、nAndreas Fault in California is a good example of this type of movement.36.The word stable1 1（paragraph 1）meansA.a place for horses1 1.B.calm and easygoing1.C.steady or firm,.D.a collection of animals*.37.To explain the effect of trenches,the writer gives the example ofA.the sea floor in the Atlanti

41、c Ocean.B.the Himalayan Mountains.C.Europe.D.India.38.The San Andreas Fault is an example ofA.a severe earthquake.B.a California rock formation.C.two plates moving apart.D.two plates aliding past each other.39.According to the passage,the earth isA.always changing.B.becoming smaller.C.moving faster.

42、D.getting hotter.4O.This passage is mostly aboutA.effects of movements of the earths plates.B.different types of continents.C.the Marianas Trench.D.transform faults.第 二 管 Mobile Phones：Are They about to Transform Our Lives?We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow,yet we

43、areincreasingly concerned that we cannot escape their electronic reach.We use them to convey ourmost intimate secrets,yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy.We rely on them morethan the Internet to cope with modern life,yet many of us dont believe advertisements saying weneed more advanc

44、ed services.Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generationphones and fears over the health effects of phone masts（天 线 竿），a recent report clains that thelong-term effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can beconvi

45、nced to make use of them.Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile hasalready moved beyond being a mere practical communications tool to become the backbone（支 柱）of modern social life,from love affairs to friendship to work.One female teacher,32,told theresearchers：I love my phone

46、.It*s my friend.nThe close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers,thereport says who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity.This is partly becausemobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents.But the researchers suggest that anotherreason ma

47、y be that mobiles,especially laxt messaging,are seen as a way of overcoming shyness.“Texting is often used for apologies,to excuse lateness or to communicate other things that makeus uncomfortable,the report says,The impact of phones,however,has been local rather thanglobal,supporting existing frien

48、dships and networks,rather than opening users to a new broadercommunity.Even the language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to anybody fromanother area.Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones,the report claims,will be avastly improved mobile infrastmcture（基 租 设 施）,provi

49、ding gains throughout the economy,and the provision of a more sophisticated location-based services for users.The report calls ongovernment to put more effort into the delivery of services by bobile phone,with suggestionsincluding public transport and traffic information and doctors*text messages to
