35、inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: it seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned over and then he had

36、 a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage an

37、d ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke form the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the

38、thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practiced sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas

39、Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part o

40、f your mind is still working. This unconscious, but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of

41、the brain acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.71. According to the passage, Elias Howe was _.A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleepB. much m

42、ore hard-working than other inventorsC. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD. the only person at the time who know the value of dreams72. The problem Howe was trying to solve was _.A. what kind of thread to useB. how to design a needle which would not breakC. where to put

43、the needleD. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle73. Thomas Edison is spoken of because _.A. he also tried to invent a sewing machineB. he got some of his ideas from dreamsC. he was one of Howes best friendsD. he made a lot of great inventions74. Dreams are sometimes calle

44、d “secret messages to ourselves” because _.A. strange images are used to communicate ideasB. images which have no meaning are usedC. we can never understand the real meaningD. only specially trained people can understand themBEye injuries from paintball games have increased among children, even as t

45、he protective equipment for the sport has improved, according to a study in the magazine Pediatrics published yesterday.The federal Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated the number of emergency room visits for eye injuries caused by paintballs at 545 in 2001 and more than 1,200 in 2003. More

46、than 40 percent of those injuries were believed to involve children, the study said.Paintballs are marble-sized capsules filled with water-soluble paint. They are fired at a speed of up to 300 feet a second, the study said. Being so small, they can fit inside the bones meant to protect the eye.The s

47、tudy”s author, Dr. David A. Listman of St. Barnabes Hospital in the Bronx, said paintball shopping centers had generally begun to sell full face masks, which have become more effective at protecting the eyes than earlier gear. But most injuries now occur in backyard play, which is more likely to inv

48、olve teenagers or children. “The injuries being seen are mostly in people who did not wear the proper, or for that matter, any safety equipment,” Dr. Listman said.Those injuries can involve permanent damage to sight, he said.Dr. Listman said he believed that paintball guns should be limited to certa

49、in places. In the absence of such action, parents should limit childrens access to the guns and insist on proper protection. Paintball guns “should be treated with the same respect as any other firearm,” he said. “These are the only guns that are made to shoot at your friends.”-From New York Times (

50、February 6, 2004)75. Paintballs may cause injuries mainly because of _.A. their content and sizeB. their speed and sizeC. their shape and speedD. their content and shape76.

58、rms the vegetables image.The British Potato Council wants the Oxford English Dictionary to replace the expression with the term “couch slouch”, with protests planned outside parliament in London and the offices of Oxford University Press.Kathryn Race, head of marketing at the Council, which represen

59、ts some 4000 growers and processors, said the group had complained in writing to the OED but had yet to receive a response.“We are trying to get rid of the image that potatoes are bad for you,” she said on Monday.“The potato has had its knocks in the past. Of course it is not the Oxford English Dict

60、ionarys fault but we want to use another term than couch potato, because potatoes are naturally healthy.”The OED says “couch potato” originated as American slang, meaning “ a person who spends leisure time passively or idly sitting around, especially watching television or video tapes.”The Potato Co

61、uncil says its campaign has the backing of dieticians who say the vegetable is low in fat and high in vitamin C.Supporting the campaign, celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson said the vegetable was one of Britains favorite foods.“Not only are they healthy, they are versatile, convenient and taste g

62、reat, too. Life without potato is like a sandwich without a filling,” he said.John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, said the dictionary first included the term “couch potato” in 1993 and said “ dictionaries just reflect the words that society uses.”Simpson said words were neve

63、r taken out of the fulllength dictionary, which includes some 650 000 words contained in 20 volumes.But little-used words can be removed from the smaller dictionaries to make way for newer ones.“If society stops using words, then they are taken out of the smaller dictionaries,” he added.“The first k

64、nown recorded use of the expression couch potato was in a 1979 Los Angeles Times article,” Simpson said.Nigel Evans, a member of parliament for the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, has made a motion in support of the campaign, highlighting the nutritional value of the British potato. 83.

68、 English.D. It refers to a kind of person.EEcotourismThe latest buzzword in the tourism industry is “ecotourism”responsible, environmentally sound vacationing. Ecotourism, or “green tourism,” means taking care of natural resources, protecting endangered species, and preserving and contributing to lo

69、cal communities.Armed with this “checklist”, I booked a vacation in an “ecoresort”(resort:a place for vacation). The brochure looked appealing-a hotel right on the beach, with a large swimming pool and golf course, in acres of unspoiled rain forest.Unfortunately, the only way to get to this resort w

70、as a 12-hour flight followed by a long taxi ride. I was relieved to see the hotel at the end of the road. It was a low-rise building, made out of local stone. But as I later found out, in order to build the resort, the wealthy owner had bought up 30,000 square kilometers of unspoiled rain-forest.Sun

71、bathing by the glorious swimming pool, enjoying the sound of sprinklers on the golf course, I suddenly realized that this was an area where water is scarce.So far, not so eco-friendly. I decided to try some of the trips to nearby conservation projects, to give the resort another chance to convince m

72、e.Although it was the breeding season for turtles, we didnt see any. Apparently the large groups of tourists who arrive at the beach to see the turtles laying their eggs have driven the turtles away. A boat ride to a marine park was also disappointing. The noise of the boats means that the alligator

73、s (短吻鳄) are afraid to lie in the sun. The tourists, expecting to see some action, throw stones at the alligators in the water, in the hope of getting them to move.The trip to the “authentic” local village was pleasant. The resort has turned the local homes into picturesque cottages. However, they ar

74、e so charming that tourists are buying them, and the locals now live in small towns of badly built houses in the poorest areas of town.All in all, my vacation didnt meet any of the standards for ecotourism. But there are many projects around the world where you can have a genuinely “green ” experien

75、ce. My next trip is to a mountain village, as a paying guest in a local familys home.I will miss the swimming pool and the golf, though.87. What does the word brochure in the second paragraph mean?A. an interesting film B. a travel agent C. an advertisement D. a mountain88. Why were there no turtles

76、 on the beach?A. Because tourists have caused the turtles to stay away.B. Because tourists throw stones at them.C. Because the noise of the boats has made them afraid.D. Because the tourists take away their eggs89. According to your understanding, what will the writer think about “ecotourism” after

77、this trip?A. He thinks it as a brilliant idea.B. He likes the swimming pool and the golf course.C. He is disappointed and will have some doubts about it.D. He will still strongly support “ecotourism”.90.The word “buzzword” (Paragraph1) means all of the following EXCEPT_.A. a word that cause a lot of

78、 troubleB. a word well-knownC. a word often usedD. a word people think very important第四部分：书面表达（满分20分）下面四幅图片描述了两个学生在高三复习过程中发生的事情。请根据图片所提供的信息用英语写一篇短文。要求：1.应包括图中所涉及的内容。 2.不少于60词。_ Keys:I听力：1-5 BBBAA 6-10CACAB 11-15AACBA 16-20 CBCCBII单选：21-25BCACD26-30BBACC31-35CBBAA36-40 ADDAC41-45BCBAD46-50 CCCCBIII. 完型：51-55 CDABA56-60 DDBCA61-65ABDBC66-70 BCDCAIV 阅读：A篇: CDBA B篇: BDACC篇: ACDBD篇: CBDAE篇: CACA V 写作：共12页第12页
