Passage2
Dreams may be more important than sleep. Some people don't need very much sleep. But we all need to dream, scientists say.
Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short movies. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old movies. They come to us over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.
Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They could have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.
Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams can disappear quickly from memory.
Too much dreaming can be harmful. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.

A:people need to dream B:people like to sleep

Passage 3
How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.
For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cites in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.
Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount if garbage piling up on the earth.
44、What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?
4
A:The shortage of energy and air pollution.
B:The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage. C:Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.
D:Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage. 答案:B
45、According to the passage, using garbage is ________.
A:for heating in France each year B:a new way in a modern society
C:a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage D:too expensive as an energy source 答案:C
46、What is the author's attitude?
A:Delighted B:Sad C:Agreeing D:Disagreeing 答案:C
47、The best title for the passage may be ________.
A:Garbage and the Earth B:Fossil Fuel and Garbage C:Land and Garbage D:Garbage? Energy Source 答案:D
Passage 4
I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career(职业).
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn't too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn't often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I've got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren't top of the class at school. 48、What is the author's present job?
A:Working part-time in college. B:Taking care of children for a family
C:Helping children with their schoolwork D:Looking after children at a kindergarten. 答案:D
49、When staying with the two girls' family, the author ________. A:was paid for extra work B:often worked long hours
C:got much help from her boss D:took a day off every other week 答案:B
50、Why did the author leave her first job?
A:She needed a rest after working extra hours B:She was fed up with children. C:She decided to attend a part-time course D:She found a full-time job. 答案:C
51、What has the author learned from her own experiences?
A:Less successful students can still have a career. B:Qualifications are necessary for a career C:Hard work makes an excellent student D:One must choose the job she likes 答案:A
