（本大题共10分，每小题1分）Suppose you are going to Boston, and you have never visited the city before. If someone tells you about the interesting places in the city, you 15 to get some ideas of what you will see, but don’t have a 16 idea of where these places are or of how to find them. However 17 someone has a map of the city and 18 you the main roads and buildings, you may say, ―Oh, now I see. I can find my way with 19 t rouble at all‖. Working in math is somewhat（有点儿）like trying to find your way 20 a new city.

If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.25. You can see the book because__________.A. your eyes are close to itB. your eyesight can get to itC. it has light of its ownD. it reflects some of the sunlight26.

Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.C. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.D. The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.BOne silly question I simply can’t stand is ―How do you feel?‖. Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, ―Fine, I’m all right.‖ But you’ve put a bug in his ear一maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend，you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he did not realize that morning. It starts worrying him a little．First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily（愉快的）on your way asking someone else ―How do you feel?‖.Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for example, to ask ―How do you feel?’’ if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow（家伙）is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question．When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him ―How do you feel‖, Shaw put him in his place. ―When you reach my age‖, he said, ―either you feel all right or you’re dead.‖28. According to the writer, greetings, such as ―How do you feel?‖ __________.A. show one’s consideration for othersB. are a good way to make friendsC. are proper to ask a man in actionD. generally make one feel uneasy29. George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his __________.A. cheerfulnessB. clevernessC. abilityD. politeness30. ―You’ve put a bug in his ear‖ means that you’ve__________.A. made him laughB. shown concern（关心）for himC. made fun of himD. given him some kind of warningCLet us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source .They are not a look into the future, either.All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dreamthat you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has influence on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.31. From the passage we know that our dreams .A. are imagination of our daily lifeB. are man’s curi ous look into the futureC. have nothing to do with our feelingsD. are to some degree connected with our feelings32. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that .A. you are in a state of being coldB. you are in a state of being tiredC. you are in a state of hungerD. you should have had your dinner that day33. Some scientists’ explanation of dreams.A. is not widely accepted though a bit reasonableB. gives an exact description of our lifeC. provides us with information of dreamsD. is of no use for usDThinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about drinking is the key to critical（判断性的）thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others．Indeed, criticalthinking is at the heart of education.The word ―critical‖ he re has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the incorrect reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude（态度）as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper（希望深挖）into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning（高阶推理）are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today’s world: fast foods,instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence（智力）, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein. Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, ―Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.‖34. Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, __________.A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB. we might be co ntrolled by other people’s ideasC. we will follow the ideas of others naturallyD. we might be footed by other people’s ideas35. If you are a critical thinker, you will __________.A. think deeply about different ideasB. trust the reports in the newspapersC. take one view against another viewD. criticize other people for their mistakes36. In the last paragraph, ―something new‖ suggests that__________.A. the smarter you are, the faster you do thingsB. the faster you do things, the smarter you becomeC. speed can improve intelligenceD. intelligence is not decided by speed37. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Thinking and Critical Thinking.B. Understanding Critical Thinking.C. Thinking Is Natural and Human.D. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence.第II卷（主观题共40分）四、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分）(A) 根据句意，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。
