Her father decided to move the family to the United States in 1832 after his factory was destroyed by fire. It is said that she turned to studying medicine after a close friend who was dying said she wouldn’t have suffered so much if her physician had been a woman. Elizabeth knew that no woman had ever been permitted to study in a medical school. But she began to think about the idea seriously after the friend who had suggested it died.Elizabeth discussed it with her family. Her family supported her. However, all the medical colleges refused her except Geneva Medical College in New York. When she graduated from Geneva Medical College in 1849, she became the first woman in America to earn the M. D．degree. She was not offered many opportunities as a young female physician, she opened her own office 2 years later. Her younger sister Dr. Emily Blackwell, joined her in 1856. Together with Dr. Marie Zakrzewska, they opened the New York Infirmary (医院) for Women and Children in 1857. After establishing the infirmary. Elizabeth Blackwell went on a year-long lecture tour of Great Britain. Her lectures and personal example inspired more women to take up medicine as a profession.When the American Civil War broke out, the Blackwell sisters aided in nursing efforts. After the end of the war, Elizabeth Blackwell carried out a plan that she had developed together with her friend Florence Nightingale while in E ngland. She opened the Women’s Medical College with her sister. This college was operated under her sister’s management. She moved to England the next year. There, she helped to organize the National Health Society and she founded the London School of Medicine for Women.As her health declined, Blackwell gave up the practice of medicine in the late 1870s, though she still campaigned for reform (改革).

You may have an energy drink, but the benefits of drinking one are heavily outweighed by the risks.In the past years, more and more studies have found the deadly effects of energy drinks on our bodies. The sugar, caffeine and energy supplements (补充)in energy drinks make up a deadly mixture of ingredients that can affect your heart function and send you to the hospital!A study by the University of Bonn, Germany found that frequent consumption of energy drinks can greatly change the way our heart functions. The study went on to say that consuming energy drinks often causes significantly increased heart contractions in adults, which has the potential of putting you at risk for irregular heartbeats.It is possible that many people are unconscious of the alarming side effects of energy drinks because of the way they are labelled. Most energy drinks contain between 80 milligrams to over 350 milligrams of caffeine, sugar and energy supplements. When an energy drink is marketed as a diet supplement, it may be distributed without a "nutrition facts" label, which would show the harmful supplements that are in the drink. However, even if energy drinks are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved, they don’t have to show the number of supplements.Energy drinks may be widely available but they aren't the healthiest or safest choice for your body. To stay naturally energized, get organized and stay on top of your work so that you aren'thaving to stay up all night to complete assigned tasks. If you'd like a natural energy boost, you could make time for a short workout, which will give you all of the energy you need!5．Which of the following is the side effect of the energy drinks?A．Making people thinner.B．Making people's heart bigger.C．Making people run a risk of falling ill.D．Making people suffer from heart attack.6．Why are many people unaware of the harmful effects of energy drinks?A．Because they don't read the label carefully.B．Because FDA thinks they are healthy drinks.C．Because the harmful materials are not labelled.D．Because factories of energy drinks lie to drinkers.7．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The benefits of doing exercise.B．The better choice of right drinks.C．The way to have enough energy.D．The effects of energy drinks.8．What is the best title for the text?A．Don't Drink Energy DrinksB．Many People Enjoy Energy DrinksC．The Materials Energy Drinks ContainD．Energy Drinks Could Send You to Hospital第3天Most adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens, they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds ofrisk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $5 for sure choice, then they got $5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between $8 and $125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing.What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known—more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.So, what does all of this mean? The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior. 9．This experiment was carried out byA．dividing the teens into three groupsB．comparing the reactions to different risksC．giving equal amount of awards to the participantsD．observing the emotional changes of the teenager10．When facing known risks, teenagers tended to be ________.A．ambitious B．cautious C．anxious D．curious 11．Which group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks?A．Teenagers. B．College students.C．Parent-aged adults. D．Grandparent-aged adults.12．According to the study, parents should focus on ________.A．guaranteeing children to be carefulB．setting age limits on dangerous activitiesC．respecting teens to make their own choicesD．guiding teens to learn more about the effect of risks第4天Head to Music City for a variety of great lodging (住宿) options.

The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly! And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle. Everyone was worried, as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight, and the bus was not even at the airport yet.Finally, the bus pulled up, and the driver said, “They just pulled me out of bed after anall-night shift (夜班), and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your flight. Good Luck!”Needless to say, everyone was in a really bad mood. I was loading my luggage into the bus and had slung (吊) my banjo over my back when the driver said, “What? Are you going to play that in my bus?” “Well, really did not plan on it,” I replied. “I was only kidding,” said the driver. But I started thinking about it, and I pulled out the banjo. A worried, angry woman said, “Well, what if I don't like it?” “Then tell me and I will stop,” I replied.We drove off, and the tension (紧张) made the atmosphere in the bus horrendous! Then Istarted plucking (弹奏) the old song Blue Skies. In a few minutes, I noticed everyone was singing along. I started to sing, too, and before long, the whole bus burst into song.One song led to another and everyone seemed to have a request. “Do you know You Are My Sunshine?” Everyone laughed and sang, with food passed around the bus, and before long, the airport was in sight.The bus driver called, “We made it! We never woul d have done it without the help of our banjo player.” Shouts of approval rang through the bus. The driver said to me, “This was the best ride I ever had. Thanks for your music.”A few weeks later, my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends. Their letters reminded me of how, by reaching out with just a song, you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience-a magical, musical bus ride.20．What can we learn about the driver from his words in Paragraph 2?A．He was glad to take those people to the airport.B．He was late because he just returned from an all-night shift.C．He thought it was hard to get those people to the airport in time.D．He thought he was lucky to take those people to the airport.21．When the author decided to play his banjo, ________.A．the driver fully supported him B．not all the passengers preferred that idea C．all the passengers disliked that idea D．the whole bus burst into song22．The underlined word “horrendous” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by _________.

Even though the new building is very exciting, in the meantime there is no real playground for all the kids to use. They just run aroundthe front of the school during the lunch break.This gets me thinking about starting a book club for the upper elementary kids to meet in during lunch. This idea has the added benefit of giving my very shy daughter a chance to make some connections with other kids who like books as much as she does.This is how I’m starting our book club. After getting permission from the principal and finding a space in the school to hold our meetings, I’ll send out a flier (传单) in our Friday school notes with my contact information. At our first meeting we’ll think of a name for our book club and decide together on the first two books we will read.I absolutely love the idea of a mother-daughter book club. The reason is that my friend, mother of a teenage daughter, told me she always tried to befriend all the mothers of her daughter’s friends. As a group they’re better able to know wh at the girls are doing.Now that my daughter is in the fourth grade and we’re at a new school, I’m feeling especially drawn to start forming relationships with the mothers of her friends. A book club seems like a good way to do that with the added benefit of getting to open up communication between daughters and mothers, because in a few years a lot of our daughters won’t really want to talk to us.24．What is the original reason why the author wants to start a book club?A．Her daughter is too shy.B．There are no books for children to read.C．There is no playground for children to play on.D．The children fail to communicate with each other.25．What can we know about the book club according to the text?A．Her daughter’s grades will promote.B．It can help her daughter communicate with others.C．His daughter is more and more fond of reading in the book club.D．This makes his daughter more and more busy with her housework.26．Why does the author claim she likes mother-daughter clubs?A．The club attracted more students to read.B．His daughter can make more good friends.C．It’s easy for her to get to know her daughter better.D．His daughter likes to communicate with more people.27．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To share a valuable plan.B．To apply for joining a book club.C．To give the school a piece of advice.D．To ask people to befriend by reading.第8天The James Geddes Language Center includes two language laboratories, especially equipped for language teaching and extensive tape production and processing facilities.

A shocking new study has shown that the level of food waste is far worse than previously thought, at 58%. Of that, about 85% of food waste is due to food processors. This differs from earlier studies, which criticizedfamilies for driving food waste and said they were responsible for 51% of food waste.The study was carried out by Martin Hooch, the leading expert on food waste and the author of several previous studies on the subject. Reflecting on the study’s findings, Hooch said, “It means stopping criticizing consumers. Sure, consumers are part of the problem, but they’re not the problem.”In the past, Hooch didn't master good data, particularly from the private factories, but relied on numbers collected by the food industry for purposes other than tracking(追踪) waste. This time, however, Hooch worked directly with companies at all stages along the food production chain and interviewed over 700 experts in the industry. Clearly he found it hard to believe what he was seeing.This is what they found: Food processing causes 34% of food waste. This is followed by production, which causes 24%. Next is manufacturing at 13%, then hotels and restaurants at 9%. Families cause only 14%, and market sales 6%. This should be a serious wake-up call for Canadians who would do well to examine their own food supply chains. Food waste is costly, not only in terms of dollars wasted, but also in resources like land, water, and so on. To be using these resources and wasting the product is totally irresponsible and unnecessary.To make matters worse, when food is thrown into rubbish cans, it produces methane, a greenhouse gas 30 times more powerful than carbon dioxide (CO2). At Canada’s rate of food waste, that's like adding 12 million cars to the road. It seems that the food industry needs redesigning. Therefore, let’s hope the government takes action.31．What did earlier studies say about food waste in Canada?A．Food waste was better than expected.B．Food went bad when it was processed.C．Most of the food was wasted on purpose.D．Families were to blame for food waste.32．How did Hooch do his study on food waste this time?A．By studying data from the industry.B．By tracking the whole production chain.C．By collecting advice from experts worldwide.D．By drawing a conclusion from the previous studies.33．Why does food waste have an effect on the environment?A．Because it is harmful to the trees.B．Because it pollutes the soil around it.C．Because it gives off unpleasant smells.D．Because it produces more greenhouse gas.34．What is the main idea of the text?A．Canadians don’t like to save food for future.B．More than half of the food is wasted in Canada.C．Families are mainly responsible for food waste.D．The food industry is better redesigned in Canada.第10天It sounds like something from the field of science fiction — a space exploration into vast outer space, heading towards the Red Planet While we're not quite ready to put a person on it, the question we ask today is: why are so many countries interested in going to Mars?The space race saw the USSR(the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) and USA compete to achieve firsts in spaceflight. The USSR released Sputnik 1, an artificial satellite, before anyone else, and the US landed on the Moon first. Now it appears that Mars is the body of desire. While to be the first nation to land on it is an obvious draw, there are other reasons why we want to get there.One of these could be the survival of our species. You only have to look at the fossils of the dinosaurs to see the benefit of finding another habitable planet. While Mars doesn't have the right conditions to call it home just yet, there's always the concept of terraforming-changing the environment of a planet to suit our needs.However, not everyone agrees. Leading astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has said the concept of changing habitability of another planet because of the damage we have done to Earth makes no sense when we can simply terraform Earth.It seems that the main reason at the moment is the search for alien life. It has long been believed that, at one time, Mars was abundant with life. Now seemingly dead, the potentialfossils could answer questions about our own evolution and that of our planet. One theory is that bacterial life on our planet didn't start here, but was brought here via asteroid from Mars.One benefit supported by scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson is that landing on Mars may inspire more people to become interested in science and astronomy. Surely inspiring a new generation to visit the stars is reason enough.35．What achievement did the USSR make in the space race?A．It was the first country to put a person on the moon.B．It was the first nation to launch an artificial satellite.C．It was the first country to land on the surface of Mars.D．It was the first nation to send the dinosaur fossils into space.36．What attitude does Neil deGrasse Tyson take to the idea of terraforming Mars? A．Curious. B．Ambiguous. C．Thrilled. D．Negative. 37．What benefit of heading to Mars does Neil deGrasse Tyson support?A．Rescuing the species on the earth.B．Looking for life in outer space.C．Understanding humans' evolution.D．Increasing young people's enthusiasm about space.38．What is the best title of the passage?A．Why Do We Desire To Leave Earth?B．Why Do We Attempt To Go To Mars?C．Can We Settle Down On Other Planets?D．Should We Stop Searching For Alien Life On Mars?第11天As well as hosting New Ze aland’s largest and most populous city, the Auckland region features many attractive, diverse places.Central AucklandCentral Auckland is a hub of urban delights set against beautiful coastal scenery. You can take a trip up the Sky Tower, the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. The adventurouscan also try SkyJump-New Zealand’s highest base jump-or the incredible Sky Walk where you’ll walk around the outside of the Sky Tower for extraordinary sightseeing.Rangitoto IslandEmerging unexpectedly from the sea some 600 years ago, Rangitoto, with its distinctive shape and superb location just off the coast, is the youngest and largest volcano in the Auckland volcanic field. The island is a favourite destination for hikers and day-trippers. Walk up to the top, and you can see the black lava caves on your way up and don’t forget to bring a torch to explore them with the kids.Great Barrier IslandGreat Barrier Island is a large island with a small population. For thousands of years, Bt has sheltered Auckland’s harbour from the continuous swells of the Pacific Ocean. The wilderness areas are home to several unique plant and bird species. Most amazingly, the community on the island is not using the public supplies of electricity, gas or water, but entirely relying on renewable solar power and collection of freshwater.Waiheke IslandIn landscape, lifestyle and experience, Waiheke is a world away. The three white sandy beaches are perfect for swimming, kayaking, or having a picnic. If you’re a walker, e xplore the island’s tracks which wind along cliff tops and into cool native forests.

高考英语集训阅读理解每日一练4
定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校杭州外国语学校高考英语集训阅读理解每日一练04倒数第十周星期四AOne day, Mr. Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead ，they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land, and care for animals, mankind would always hav e food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:“And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?”Mr. Arnold didn’t know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?“We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a Gsherman told me how they fish. It’s the same with everyone: when there’s no more forest left the foresters go elsewh ere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That’s what the nomads did, isn’t it?9，The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep sup plying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”And ，from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.1. Why would early humans travel about in the beginning?A. To experience different lifestyles.B. To go sightseeing in different places.C. To find what they could to feed themselves.D. To do more exercise to build themselves up.2. From Paragraph 2，we can know that ______•A. people got tired of living in the same placeB. people gradually got used to living in citiesC. people spent a long time in learning to keep animalsD. people tended to settle down after learning farming3. In the teacher’s opinion ，Lucy’s argument was ______A. reasonableB. ridiculousC. puzzlingD. shocking4. Which of the followin g agrees with the message “I am not a nomad” (Paragraph 7)?A. People eat young fish for its delicious taste.B. People use recycled materials as much as possible.C. Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.D. Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.5. The writer tries to make us believe that ______.A. mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling aboutB. it’s unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled wayC. if S quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankindD. teachers should encourage students to voice their own opinions bravelyIt’s nice to have friends. Sometimes you need one person to talk to. You can play games, hang out or even just talk on the phone. Consider these suggestions to meet people and form strong, lasting friendships. Well, take your time, and don’t rush. ♦Join an organization or a club with people who have common interests. You don’t necessarily have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. But if you have something in common with them, it can make it a lot easier to talk to them and plan activities. Whatever your age and whatever your interests, there is an organization or a club for yo u. Social networking sites such as Facebook , Twitter are also a great way to meet new people and learn more about them. ♦Join a sports team. As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends. A sports team isn’t the only way. If you play instruments or sing ，try joining a band. ♦Make small talk. Keep the conversation light and cheery. Even if you’re complaining about something, make sure it’s something you’re both dissatisfied with, and emphasize the positive —how such a situation can be avoided in the future. Many conversationalists say that it is good to follow a 30/70 (30% talking, 70% listening) pattern during small talk when possible. ♦Ask them out for lunch or coffee. That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better. A good way to extend yourself is to say: “Hey, well, I've got to go, but if you ever want to talk over lunch or coffee or anything like that, let me give you my number or e-mail address.” This gives theperson the opportunity to get in touch with you; they may or may not give you their information in return, but that’s fine. Maybe they don’t have time for new friends~~don’t take it personally! Just offer your information to whoever seems to be potentially a good friend, and eventually somebody will get in touch. ♦Be loyal(忠诚的）to a friend. You've probably heard of fair-weather friends. They’re the ones who are happy to be around you when things arc going well ，but are nowhere to be found when you really need them. Part of being a friend is being prepared to spare time and energy in order to help out your friends. If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing, or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on ，be there. If your friends make a joke ，laugh with them. Never complain about a friend. ♦ Be a good listener. Many people think that in order to be seen as ‘friend material’ they have to appear very interesting. Far more important than this ，however, is the ability to show th at you’re interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them (their names, their likes and dislikes), ask questions about their interests, and j ust take the lime to learn more about them. You don’t want to be the guy or girl that always has a better story than anyone else or that changes the subject suddenly instead of continuing the flow of conversation. ♦ Be trustworthy. One of the best things about having a friend is that you have someone to whom you can talk about anything, even secrets that you hide from the rest of the world. The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets, so it’s no secret that you shouldn’t tell other people things that were told to you in confidence. 6. According to the given information, what quality do you need to have if you want to make friends?A. Patience.B. Curiosity.C. Bravery.D. Humor.7. Those who can enjoy a happy life together but it’s hard to go through hardness hand in hand are________A. loyal friendsB. close friendsC. dishonest friendsD. fair-weather friends8. While having a conversation with your friends, you should avoid_______.A. applying the 30/70 pattern B . talking too much about yourself C. showing interest in their topics D. knowing more details about them 9. To be a reliable friend ，you'd better_______. A. have some common interests with your friendsB. find something to complain about with your friendsC. keep the secrets that your friends have told youD. exchange your personal information with your friends CHow good are you at saying “no”？ For many, it’s surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these scenes:It’s late in the day. That front-page package you’ve been working onis nearly complete; the last editing and it’s finished. Then enters the chief editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: “No! It’s done!” What do you do?The first rule of saying no to the boss is ‘don’t say no，. He probably has something in mind w hen he makes the suggestion, and it’s up to you to find out what. The second rule is 'don't raise the risks by challenging his authority，. That issue is already decided. The third rule is ‘be ready to put forward choices and consequences，. The boss’s suggestion might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. He might not know about the pages backing up that need attention ，or about the designer who had to go home sick. TeII him he can have what he wants, hut explain the consequences. Understand what he’s trying to accomplish and propose(提议）a Flan B that will make it happen without destroying what you’ve do ne so far.Here’s another case. Your least -favorite reporter suggests a silly story idea. This one should be easy, but it’s not. If you say no, even politely, you risk holding back further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This case is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter(过滤）story suggestions.Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can bear rejection of their ideas if they believe they are given a fair hearing. Your natural reaction and strong rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair.Second, the people you work with need to make a “What if ".?，，agreement covering ‘‘What if my idea is turned down?，，How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they perfect the idea and resubmit it? By imagining “What if...?” situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of opposition.10. This passage is mainly about_______.A. the cases where ideas are rejectedB. the ways to give different opinionsC. the skills of saying noD. the methods for solving disagreements11. Instead of directly refusing your boss’s suggestion, you should_______.A. pretend that you are sickB. seek what he is thinking aboutC. state that your design is quite perfectD. ask him to give the reason for his suggestion12. By saying “This one should be easy •••” (Paragraph 4)，the writer means it’s easy t o_______A. understand the silly story ideaB. let others politely say noC. fool your least-favorite reporterD. turn down that reporter’s idea13. Why is it important to set up a system for stories to be proposed and reviewed?A. To allow reporters enough time to change their attitude.B. To develop reporters5 strong sense of fairness.C. To encourage reporters to give valuable ideas.D. To guarantee reporters chances to give further explanations.14. What is conveyed in the last paragraph?A. Sometimes we may view a problem from another angle.B. We may relax ourselves by raising questions when we're in trouble.C. “What if …？” situations help improve our relationship with others.D. It’s almost impossible for others to accept our ideas at once.DRed roses were her favorites; her name was also Rose. And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door. The card said, “Be my Valentine(情人)，” like all the years before.Each year he sent her ro ses, and the note would always say, “I love you even more this year, than last year on this day. My love for you will always grow, with every passing year.” She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear. She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day. Her loving husband did not know that he would pass away. He always liked to do things early. Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine. She cut away some stems, placed them in a very special vase, and set the vase beside the picture of his smiling face. She would sit for hours in her husband’s favorite chair, staring at his photo and the roses sitting there.A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate. Loneliness and solitude had become her fate. Then, the ve ry hour, as on Valentine’s Day before, the doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. She brought the roses in, and just looked at them in shock. Then, she went to get the telephone to call the florist(花匠）shop. The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain why someone would do this to her, causing her such pain.“I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago，” the owner said, “I knew you'd call, and you would want to know. The flowers you received today were paid for in advance. Your husband always planned ahead. He left nothing to chance.”“There is a standing order that I have on file down here. And he has paid, well in advance; you'll get them every year. There is also another thing that I think you should know. He wrote a special little card ... he did this years ago.” “Then, should ever, I find out that he's nolonger here. That’s the card ... that should be sent to you the following year.” She thanked him and hung up the phone ，her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers shaking, she slowly reached to get the card. Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note. Then ，as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote: “Hello my love, I know it’s been a year since I was gone. I hope it hasn’t been too hard for you to overcome. I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real. If it was the other way, I know how I would feel. The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life. I loved you more than words can say. You were the perfect wife.”“You were my friend and lover; you satisfied my every need. I know it’s only been a year, but please try not to grieve. I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears. That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.”“When you get these roses, think of all the happiness that we had together, and how both of us were blessed. I have always loved you and I know I always will. But, my love, you must go on; you have some living still.”“Please ... try to find happiness, while living out your days. I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways. The roses will come every year, and they will only stop when your door’s not answered, when the florist stops to knock. He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out. But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt. To take the roses to the place, where I’ve instructed him, and place them where we are, together once again.”15. How did Rose feel when she received roses a year after her husband’s death?A. Surprised and disappointed.B. Happy but confused.C. Proud but frightened.D. Sad and puzzled.16. What can we know about Rose's husband when he was alive?A. He knew his wife loved roses more than himself.B. He preferred to make arrangements ahead of time.C. He gave his wife a pleasant surprise every Valentine’s Day.D.

Of all the components of a good night's sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control. Indreams, a window opens into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak. Acentury ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguisedshadows of our unconscious desires and fears; by thelate 1970s, neurologists had switched tothinking of them as just "mental noise"-the random byproducts of the neural repair work thatgoes on during sleep. Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind's emotionalthermostat, regulating moods while the brain is "off line." And one leading authority says thatthese intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought underconscious control, to help us sleep and feel better. "It's your dream," says RosalindCartwright, chair of psychologyat Chicago's Medical Center, "if you don't like it, change it."
he link between dreams and emotions shows up among the patients in Cartwright's clinic. Mostpeople seem to have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier onesbefore awakening, suggesting that they are working through negative feelings generatedduring the day. Because our conscious mind is occupied with daily life we don't always thinkabout the emotional significance of the day's events-until, it appears, we begin to dream.
And this process need not be left to the unconscious.
Cartwright believes one can exerciseconscious control over recurring bad dreams. As soon as you awaken, identify what isupsetting about the dream. Visualizehow you would like it to end instead; the next time itoccurs, try to wake up just enough to control its course. With much practice people can learnto, literally, do it in their sleep.
At the end of the day, there's probably little reason to pay attention to our dreams at all unlessthey keep us from sleeping or "we wake up in panic," Cartwright says. Terrorism, economicuncertainties and general feelings of insecurity have increased people's anxiety. Thosesuffering from persistent nightmares should seek help from a therapist. For the rest of us, thebrain has its ways of working through bad feelings.Sleep-or rather dream-on it and you'll feelbetter in the morning.

5.The author most probably thinks that controlling dreams is ______.
A.a good practice
B.a new discovery
C.helpful for everyone
D.not essential for everyone
答案解析：
1.[D] 词义理解题。
在第1段第4句中，逗号后面的regulating moods是对emotional thermostat的功能进行解释说明，因此可以推断出选项D正确。
2.[C] 事实细节题。
最具干扰的是选项A，因为其陈述与第2段第2句的陈述有点相似,但是，此长句说的是大多数人上半夜做噩梦，之后都会做好梦，而不是像选项A中所说大多数噩梦之后是好梦。
而且，根据本段第1 句，很明显，选项C是这一句的近义替换。
3 [C] 推理判断题。
本题考査对代词的理解。
在第3段的最后一句中，代词it应指上文说到的控制噩梦，及时醒来等做法，因此只有选项C涉及了其中一个做法。
选项A太泛了，选项B和D在文中并无提及。
4.[B] 事实细节题。
本题考查根据构词法猜测词义的'能力。
解题关键是推断最后一段第3句中therapist的意义，在考纲词汇表中，therapy是“治疗”的意思，因此，therapist应该是专门负责某种治
疗的医生，由此可见，选项B是对原文seek help from a therapist的近义替换。
5.[D] 观点态度题。
根据最后一句可以推断作者认为如无必要，梦还是不要控制的好。
做梦会让你早上感觉舒服一些，因此本题应选D。
