When We Are Asleep
Everyone dreams, but some people never recall their dreams, or do so very rarely. Other people always wake up with vivid recollections (記憶) of their dreams, though they forget them very quickly. In an average night of eight hours' sleep, an average adult will dream for around one hundred minutes, probably having three to five dreams，each lasting from ten to thirty minutes.
Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which measures the electrical waves in the brain. During dreaming, these waves move more quickly. Breathing and pulse rate also increase, and there are rapid eye movements under the lids, just as though the dreamer were really looking at moving objects. These signs of dreaming have been detected in all mammals (哺 乳動物) studied, including dogs, monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles (爬行動物). This period of sleep is called the "D" state for around 50% of their sleep; the period reduces to around 25% by the age of 10.
Dreams take the form of stories, but they may be strange and with incidents not connected, which make little sense. Dreams are seldom without people in them and they are usually about people we know. One estimate says that two-thirds of the "cast" of our dream dramas are friends and relations. Vision seems an essential part of dreams, except for people blind from birth. Sound and touch are senses also often aroused, but smell and taste are not frequently involved. In "normal" dreams, the dreamer may be taking part, or be only an observer. But he or she cannot control what happens in the dream.
However, the dreamer does have control over one type of dream. This type of dream is called a "lucid"(清醒的) dream. Not everyone is a lucid dreamer. Some people are occasional lucid dreamers. Others can dream lucidly more or less all the time. In a lucid dream, the dreamer knows that he is dreaming.
1. Some people dream but cannot remember their dreams.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
2.In an average night，males dream longer than females.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
3.When we dream，there is less movement of electrical waves in our brains.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
4. Babies dream less than older children.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
5. Most dreams involve the people we played with when we were young.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
6. We rarely smell things in dreams.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
7. In a lucid dream we can use Morse code to communicate with others.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned

DVD for Rent
1 A pay-for-play system for video DVD will emerge by summer as an alternative, and possibly a competitor, to the DVD format currently available.
2 The new system, called Digital Video Express (Divx), operates like a DVD player, except for the specially coded discs. These will cost $5 for initial viewing over a 48-hour period and can be viewed again for additional fees and even purchased for unlimited viewing.
3 Divx combines the service of a video rental (出租的) store with the operation of a pay-per-view "IV channel. Unlike a rented videotape, though, the Divx disc needn't be returned. Customers can retain the disc for replay in the future at an additional fee, or simply throw it away.
4 Subsequent plays, or the purchase of unlimited-viewing rights, are billed to the customer's Divx account and charged to a credit card. The player's built-in memory keeps track of all Divx plays, and sends this information by toll-free phone modem (調(diào)制解調(diào)器) to the Divx record-keeping centre. Each Divx disc and player has a unique identification code, so the system knows which discs have been played and where.
5 Some Divx discs could be converted for unlimited play at a price likely to be lower than buying a conventional DVD. Others, called Divx Gold, would be sold from the beginning for unlimited play without further charge. Although conventional DVDs will run in a Divx player, conventional DVD players will lack the decoding (解碼) and communications ability to play Divx discs. Divx players will be offered by Panasonic, RCA, and Zenith.
6 About 100 discs will be available initially from Disney, Dreamworks, Paramount, and Universal, growing to 500 titles within a year. Other film makers have yet to adopt the Divx system, which is owned by retailer Circuit City, the 350-store electronics chain that bankrolled (提供資金)its development.
1 Paragraph 2___________.
2 Paragraph 3___________.
3 Paragraph 4___________.
4 Paragraph 5___________.
A Booming Business of Circuit City
B Superior Quality of Conventional DVD Discs
C The New System Called Divx
D Unlimited Play of Divx Discs
E Disc-play Tracking and Billing Systems
F Two Functions Combined
5 The Divx disc is different from the rented videotape in that once offered, the Divx disc
6 Every Divx disc has a special code so that the rental shop can identify which disc
7 If converted for unlimited use, the Divx disc
8 The conventional DVD player cannot play any Divx disc because the disc
A will not be taken back by the shop
B is specially coded
C is bankrolled by Panasonic, etc
D is likely to be cheaper than the conventional DVD disc
E has been played and where
F is owned by retailer Circuit City
答案：C F E D A E D 第四部分：閱讀理解(第31～45題，每題3分，共45分)
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題，每題后面有4個選項。請仔細閱讀短文并根據(jù)短文回答其后面的問題，從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。
A Very Slow Ride
The surface of the earth may seem very stable to you. But you might be amazed if you knew some of the things that are going on under that surface.
The earth has an outer shell of rigid pieces called tectonic plates (地殼構(gòu)造板塊)。The plates include both ocean floor and dry land. Some have whole continents on top of them. The continents on top of the plates are just going along for a slow ride，moving only about four inches per year. But even this small movement causes three types of big interactions.
One type is ocean ridges. These ridges develop in places where two plates are moving away from each other. As the plates separate，hot magma(巖漿)flows up to fill the space. New crust(地殼)builds up on the plate boundaries and causes ocean ridges. These ridges form long mountain ranges，which only rise above the ocean surface in a few places.
Another type of reaction-trenches-occurs between two plates that are moving toward each other. As the plates meet，one bends downward and plunges undemeath the other .This forms deep ocean trenches. The Marianas Trench off Guam in the western Pacific Ocean has a depth of more than 36，000 feet. This is the lowest point on the ocean floor. If the leading edges of the two colliding plates carry continents，then the layers of rock in the overriding plate crumple(變皺)and fold. A plate that carried what is now lndia collided with the southern edge of the plate that carried Europe and most of Asia. This caused the Himalayas，the world's highest mountains.
The third reaction is transform faults(轉(zhuǎn)換斷層)。These faults occur where two plates that are traveling in opposite directions slide past each other. Severe earthquakes can occur. The San Andreas Fault in Califomia is a good example of this type of movement.
1.The word "stable"(paragraph 1)means
A. "a place for horses".
B. "calm and easygoing".
C. "steady or firm".
D. "a collection of animals".
2.To explain the effect of trenches，the writer gives the example of
A. the sea floor in the Atlantic Ocean.
B. the Himalayan Mountains.
C. Europe.
D. lndia.
3.The San Andreas Fault is an example of
A. a severe earthquake.
B. a California rock formation.
C. two plates moving apart.
D. two plates aliding past each other.
4.According to the passage，the earth is
A. always changing.
B. becoming smaller.
C. moving faster.
D. getting hotter.
5.This passage is mostly about
A. effects of movements of the earth's plates.
B. different types of continents.
C. the Marianas Trench.
D. transform faults.

Garlic
From early times man has used garlic (大蒜). The Bible speaks of it. The Israelites (古以色列人) were once far from home. They cried out to Moses, their leader, for the foods they loved: leeks (韭菜), onions, and garlic. The Romans, like the Israelites, loved to eat garlic. And they hung bags of garlic around their necks. _____(1) They also thought it would keep them from getting sick.
A similar idea is still held. Many people take garlic thinking it will prevent or cure disease. Most doctors say it does no such thing. _____(2) Its smell may force people to stay far apart. At least then they can't pass germs on to each other. _____(3) What if you're in a play, for instance? Actors have been known to forget their lines because they couldn't stand the garlic smell on a fellow actor's breath. Some have even made up new lines and actions that kept them far away from the one who had eaten garlic.
Through the years man has tried to cope with the smell of garlic. _____(4) We now know why. It's been found that the oils of the garlic do not stick to the teeth, Garlic tongue, or gums (齒齦). They go into the lungs instead. From there they are breathed out. They pass out through the skin too.
Strange as it seems, food may have a great deal of garlic in it without smelling or tasting strong. It all depends on how it is cooked. French cooks make a good soup with whole cloves (瓣) of garlic. They use more than thirty cloves in one bowl of soup. But they take care not to crush them. And they cook them whole. _____(5) And as the cloves cook they change in some strange way. The soup turns out to be delicious. It's not strong at all.
A But no medicine, mouthwash, chewing gum, or toothpaste seems to help much
B As a result, the strong oils stay in the cloves.
C They say it may help in one way, though.
D Many people eat garlic.
E But keeping your distance can be hard at times.
F They hoped it would keep away the evil eye.

Robots May Allow Surgery in Space
Small robots designed by University of Nebraska researchers may allow doctors on Earth to help perform surgery on patients in space.
The tiny，wheeled robots，(1)are about 3 inches tall and as wide as a lipstick case，can be slipped into small incisions(切口)and computer-controlled by surgeons in different locations. Some robots are equipped(2)cameras and lights and can send images back to surgeons and others have surgical tools attached that can be(3)remotely.
"We think this is going to (4)open surgery，"Dr Dmitry Oleynikov said at a news conference. Oleynikov is a (5)in computer-assisted surgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.
Officials hope that NASA will teach(6)to use the robots soon enough so that surgeries could one day be performed in space.
On earth，the surgeons could control the robots themselves(7)other locations. For example，the robots could enable surgeons in other places to (8)on injured soldiers on the front line. Researchers plan to seek federal regulatory(9)early nest year. Tests on animals have been successful，and tests on humans in England will begin very soon.
The camera-carrying robots can provide(10)of affected areas and the ones with surgical tools will be able to maneuver(操控)inside the body in ways surgeons' hands can't. The views from the camera-carrying robots are (11)than the naked eye，because they(12)back color images that are magnified(放大)。Because several robots can be inserted through one incision，they could reduce the amount and (13)of cuts needed for surgery，which would decrease recovery time. This is particularly(14)to those patients who have been debilitated(使虛弱)by long illness.
Eventually，Oleynikov said，the tiny robots may enable surgeons to work without ever(15)their hands in patients' bodies. "That's the goal," Oleynikov said. "It's getting easier and easier. We can do even more with these devices. "
