I'm sure some of our listeners will include Louisville in their travel plan for their next holiday. Thank you. Michelle.Text 10M: We are glad to have Dr. Garfield to talk to us today about dreams. Let me start by asking the first question. Does everyone dream ?W: It appears that everyone does. Mostly when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they don't remember their dreams or they don't think their dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of with a child when they first reported their dreams or it was so frightening that they just turned off (使沮丧，不感兴趣）dreaming completely. The other day, someone name Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped having dreams. I asked him what it happened. It turned out that his brother died by heart attack and never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to a young person. Generally, when there was some frightening event and dream about it was too terrible. People prefer not to dream about it. Actually the worst thing you can do is stop dreaming. As long as you dream about it and even the dream is frightening, your mind is working on it. My personal opinion about what dreams so is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams. When a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill or when a person has been really sad,if people turn off their dream totally, it means they don't love themselves to even think about it.2011年湖南高考英语听力录音原文Section A1M: Mum, I can’t find my car keys.

I’m afraid n ot. What is that then?W: Well, it is here in today’s paper.

Let me start by asking the first question. Does everyone dream?W: It appears that everyone does. Mostly when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they don’t remember their dreams or they don’t think their dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of with a child when they first reported their dreams or it was so frightening that they just turned off dreaming completely. The other day, someone named Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped having dreams. I asked him what it happened. It turned out that his brother died by heart attack and he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to a young person. Generally, when there was some frightening event and dream about it was too terrible. People prefer not to dream about it. Actually the worst thing you can do is stop dreaming. Because it means that the bad experience would be too painful to even appear in dreams. As long as you dream about it and even the dream is frightening, your mind is working on it. My personal opinion about what dreams do is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams. When a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill or when a person has been really sad, if people turn off their dreams totally, it means they don’t lo ve themselves to even think about it.。

It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing.

I got a taste of that dream in 2001,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community(社区) announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it.One June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute(降落伞), then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is p ossible, make it happen.( ) 56. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She flew an airplaneB. She entered a competitionC. She went on a hot air balloon rideD. She moved into a retirement community( ) 57. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to ________.A. build up her own reputationB. show her admiration for himC. compare their health conditionD. make her argument persuasive( ) 58. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A. ExcitedB. ScaredC. NervousD. Regretful( ) 59. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?A. The beautiful cloudsB. The wonderful viewC. The company of JayD. The one-minute free fallB.

Students and T echnology in the ClassroomI love my Blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thought. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule—no laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about tec hnology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.( ) 63. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ________.A. the course materialB. others’ misuse of technologyC. discussion topicsD. the author’s class regula tions( ) 64. T he underlined word “engage”in para.4 probably means ________.A. exploreB. acceptC. changeD. reject( ) 65. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ________.A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsC. help students to better understand complex themesD. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation( ) 66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ________.A. is quite stubbornB. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soonD. values technology-free dialogues in his classD.As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating(发电) and transmission(输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19th century saw land grants(政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained underdeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species(物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.( ) 67. What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?A.

To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic(逻辑)—of being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. 71 The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thinking.72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this way seem like a purely mechanical(机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confuse. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 73What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节情景作文（20分）假设你是红星中学高二（1）班的学生李华。

Tape Script（听力录音请点击下载）1.W: Normally, we supply 3 colors only, black, blue and red.M: But we really want green ones.W: In that case, it will be more expensive.2.M: Are you finished with the newspaper, Mary?W: Almost. Here, you can take the news section. And the entertainment section is in the living room.M: Oh, I just want to read the sports section.3.M: I need a summer job that will give me some exercise.W: How about being a life guard?M: Life guards don't swim that much. They usually just sit.W: Well then, you could become a swimming coach, or a tour guide.M: Tour guide is a good idea. I'd walk all day.4.M: Are you going on holiday with your brother again this year?W: Yes. He's coming home from Canada tomorrow.M: Where are you going?W: I've already booked a hotel in Turkey, but my brother wanted to go to Italy, so I hope he doesn't mind.5.W: I thought it was a great movie. So visually exciting and the sharks look really scary at times.M: I hated to admit it, but it made me jump a bit of times too. I guess recent advances in camera technology helped.6-7M: Hello, 6632278.W: Hi, Jack. It's me, Ann. I wasn't at school today. Have we got any homework to do for tomorrow?M: Let me see. Well, we got to do the math problems on page 40 in our textbook.W: All right. I've got it.M: Then, we have to go on with our reading for English. The history teacher wants us to read the chapter on the History of London for tomorrow, and write down the most important dates and events in that chapter.W: Anything else? Ah…music?M: No, we haven't any music homework, but the science teacher is giving us a test on Friday, so we have to study for that.W: Oh no. I'm so bad at science. I hate it. Thanks, Jack.M: Don't mention it. See you tomorrow.8-9M: Still feeling ill?W: Yes. That medicine hasn't helped. Not a good start to our vacation, I'm afraid.M: Do you have any idea what caused it?W: Well, I thought it might be last night's dinner.M: But I'm fine. Could it be the heat? It's enough to make anyone ill.W: I know. But we've been here a week now. Anyway, I've been careful in the sun and I've been drinking bottles of water.M: Then we'd better stay in the hotel today.10-12M: Well, do you have anything planned for the Saturday?W: Eh, I'm kind of busy. Why do you ask?M: I was wondering if we could get together and do something, like going to a concert or taking a walk by the lake.W: I'd love to, but I'm really busy this weekend.M: That's too bad.W: I have promised to help with the cleaning of the house at 10:30 in the morning. And then, I have an appointment with the dentist at 12:30pm.M: How about after the dentist's appointment?W: Then, I have to meet Jim at 4:30pm to help him with the science project due on Monday morning.M: OK, then, maybe some other time.13-15Well, we are now looking at ways to make shopping less tiring. You know, a day at the shops wears people out. And we considered a number of ideas. Carrying shopping around is very tiring, and we looked at ways to avoid that. We thought of hiring out small electrically driven cars to shoppers, but we came up against problems of space. There just isn't enough room. We also thought about those moving walk ways, like the ones you see at the airports. We decided it against then though, because they require a major redesign of the whole center. What we have actually come up with is a new technology where you but what you want and then just leave it on the shelf. That way, you don't need to carry your heavy shopping around with you all day. When you want to go home, our computer system automatically sends everything you've bought to your exit point, and you pick it up there.16-20W: Good morning, Sir. Can you help me?M: What's wrong?W: My daughter is missing. I can't find her anywhere.M: OK, calm down. I'm going to help you to find her. How long ago did she go missing?W: About one hour ago. At 4 o'clock, perhaps. I've been looking for her for almost an hour now.M: And where did you last see her?W: We were just shopping in the vegetable section. I turned around and she was gone.M: What's her name?W: Melissa. M-E-L-I-S-S-A. She's only five. She doesn't speak Spanish.M: OK. What does she look like?W: She has dark brown hair. She's thin and small for her age.M: OK. What is she wearing today?W: Blue shorts and a pink T-shirt. She has a hat on too, I think.M: Don't worry. Everything is going to be OK.W: What should I do?M: Stay right at the front of the store in case she is looking for you. We will start looking for her now.答案：1-5 CBBAC 6-10 ACBAA 11-15 BCCBA16. 4/four 17. Vegetable 18.Melissa 19.Brown 20.Shorts。
