AThroughout history, artist, inventors, writers and scientists have solved problems in their dreams. Now, let’s have a look together at some of them.1.Paul McCartney Found Yesterday in a dreamPaul McCartney is one of the most famous singers/songwriters of all time. According to the Guinness Book of Records, his Beatles song Yesterday(1965) has the most cover（翻唱） versions of any song ever written and, according to record label BMI，was performed over seven million times in the 20th century.The tune for Yesterday came to Paul McCartney in a dream.“I woke up with a lovely tune in my head. I thought, ’That’s gr eat, I wonder what that is?’ There was an upright piano next to me, to the right of my bed by the window. I got out of bed, sat at the piano, found G, found F sharp minor---- and that leads you through then to B to E minor, and finally back to E. It all leads forward logically. I liked the _melody a lot, but because I’d dreamed it, I couldn’t believe I’d written it. I thought, ‘No, I’ve never written anything like this before.’ But I had the tune, which was the most magic thing! ”2. Mary Shelley’s Franke ntein Inspired by a DreamIn the summer of 1816, nineteen-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin and her lover, the poet Percy Shelley (whom she married later that year),visited the poet Lord Byron at his villa beside Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Stormy weathe r frequently forced them indoors, where they and Byron’s other guests sometimes read from a volume of ghost stories. One evening, Byron challenged his guests to each write one themselves.Mary’s story, inspired by a dream, became Frankentein（科学怪人）.“When I placed my head upon my pillow, I did not sleep, nor could I be said to think----My eyes shut ,I saw------with my acute mental vision----the pale student of unholy arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the ugly figure of a man stretch out, and then , on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life, and tremble with an uneasy motion, extremely frightful. The next morning I announced that I had thought of a stor y. I began that day with the words, ‘It was on a dull night of November’, making only a transcript(文字稿) of the cruel terror of my waking dream.”1. We can learn from the whole passage that_________A. Some great stories, poems and songs were created while their writers slept.B. Paul McCartney likes writing songs in dreams.C. Frankentein was written by Byron’s guests.D. Byron was an ugly frightful Frankentein.2. The underlined word“melody”has the similar meaning of _______.A. dreamB. songC. tuneD. instrument3. Which is the best title of the whole passage?A. The Greatest writersB. The most famous song and storyC. Great dreams that come trueD. How to dream【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C【解析】【分析】试题分析：这是一篇记叙文。

2021届高考英语高三 二轮复习：阅读理解之推理判断题含答案
阅读理解之推理判断题推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的设题。
它包括判断和推理题。
这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。
推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。
推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。
所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写(paraphrase)或综合。
常见的题干有：1. It can be inferred from the text that…2. We can conclude that…3. When the writer talks about..., what he really means is that…4. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?从历年的高考阅读理解题分析来看，推理判断题所占的比例大概在7％-10％，根据高考对阅读理解之推理判断题的考察，在复习备考中，考生应该从以下五大题型注意复习：细节推断题、因果推断题、人物性格、预测想象推理题和写作意图推测题。
细节推断题常见的设问方式：It can be inferred from the passage/text that_________.The author mainly suggests that ________.It can be concluded from the passage that_______.The writer implies but not directly states _______.What does the author imply about newspapers?细节判断题属于深层理解题，要求根据语篇内容，推断具体细节。

(ll.52-54, para.9)However successful a woman may be in her career as a politician, lawyer, doctor, businesswoman, or whatever, she unavoidably feels compelled to admit to making an effort to look attractive.5.One could hardly ask for more important evidence of the dangers of considering persons as splitbetween what is "inside" and what is "outside" than that interminable half-comic half-tragic tale, the oppression of women. (ll.57-59, para.10)The biased attitude towards women — the long story of which is both lamentable and laughable — is the most powerful proof as to how harmful it can be to judge a person by refusing to put into consideration both inner beauty and outer beauty together.➢Measure⏹SIZE/QUANTITY 大小；数量➢~ (sb/sth) (for sth) to find the size, quantity, etc. of sth in standard units 测量；度量[动词+ 名词短语]A ship's speed is measured in knots.船速以节测量。

10 Questions for Robert Redford
By ROBERT REDFORD Monday, Apr. 18, 2011
Scott Boehm / Getty Images
Were you disappointed that your Civil War movie didn't have any battle scenes? No, I wasn't, because it's been done so much. There have been some wonderful films with beautifully done battles and gore and all that. But I was more interested in what the vibe was following the war.
You portray Lincoln's assassination, but you choose not to show his face. Why? If you try to authenticate his face, you're just never going to win. There's no face like it except the real one.
How helpful or harmful to your career has it been to be known as someone who is passionate about politics? I am passionate. I am political about my country, about what it is, how strong it is, how strong it remains. [My last film,] Lions for Lambs, got rough treatment, and I think it was because — and I don't want to sound defensive — but I think it was misperceived. I'm not a left-wing person. I'm just a person interested in the sustainability of my country.
Was there a point early in your career when you thought
you could change minds through film? I guess I did. When I was younger, naive. I thought, Maybe The Candidate will affect young people. The point of that film was that we select people by cosmetics, not substance. I thought maybe that point would get through and they would demand more of their candidates. But I've come to feel that [film] is not going to change anything. Do you wish you had acted more in recent decades? Yes. I segued into directing because I wanted more control of the story. But I started as an actor. I am an
actor. I think a lot of people think that I don't [act] anymore or that I'm more involved in Sundance. But it's not true.
How has Hollywood changed since you got into the biz? Hollywood as we once knew it no longer exists. It's just a street in Los Angeles. Studio systems still exist, but only under whatever security can be provided from a franchise film. It's becoming more open to independent films, but only because some of them have succeeded in making money.
Does the phrase indie film actually mean anything? We're quick to label（标签）stuff. Suddenly, [everything's] an indie film. That made me nervous. I don't think of independent film in terms of the films themselves as much as I do the ideas of the artists behind them.
You're well known for being an environmentalist. How do you think the Obama Administration is doing on that front? I've been doing this for almost 40 years, and it's always been tough because of the power of the energy companies. I think the Administration would like to do the right thing, but they're hampered by the extremism of certain elements within Congress.
Was it limiting during your early years in Hollywood to be
perceived as good-looking? Yeah. Because when I started [in TV], that's not the way I was seen. I played all kinds of parts — killers, psychos. They were fun, real character roles. Then, when I went into film, it suddenly shifted. You're not given freedom to move out of that.
Are you glad you didn't come up as a star in today's celebrity-obsessed age? Yeah. I really am. It's such a messy deal, such a distraction. Who knew it was going to come to this? The Conspirator is the first movie financed by the American Film Co., a side project of Chicago Cubs co-owner Joe Ricketts。
