When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, were using resources wihtin the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons unconscious minds think link together into the same frequency. We call it telepathy. We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person, and they call you, you are most likely better at sending.You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will them to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, try feeling whos contacting you. Dont guess, try to feel the vibrations. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesnt mean that you are not capable of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency. Telepathic Dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other, and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each others uncounscious mind.Telepathy&Relationships The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated.There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the others, mind through time spent together；the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child desperately wanting his/her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mothers deep desire to protect her child from harm. 1. When does telepathy occur? A. It occurs when one senses that a close friend of his/her is in danger. B. It occurs when one has very good five senses. C. It occurs when one wants to call his/her best friend. D. It occurs when one doesnt know a stranger. 答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。由第一段第一、二句话 “Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses.Its an instinct which can be woken up in times of emergency or need.” 可知，心灵感应不依靠五官感觉，而是在紧急关头或者有需要的时候，这种潜能才能被激发出来。故A选项正确。2. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage? A. Receiving TelepathyB. Telepathy: Mind-to Mind Contact C. Telepathy: Peoples Dream D. Dream of Telepathy答案解析：答案为B。本题考查文章的标题。全文都是围绕心灵感应而展开，故答案为B。3. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The more people separate, the more likely that telepathy will occur. B.

One is better at sending than receiving telepathy if one receives a friends call as one wishes.答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节题。由第二段 “If you think of a person, and they call you, you are most likely better at sending.” 可知，如果你正在想着某人，然后他就给你打电话了，那么你可能更擅长于发送感应，D选项意思与文章符合。 故答案为D。由最后一段 “The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated.” 可知，人们在一起相处的时间越长，他们的心灵相互间就越有可能产生共鸣，尤其是当分开的时候，故A、C选项错误，结合第一题分析知B选项同样错误。4.

Theyre also an environmental hazard. Their manure(粪便)contains phosphorus(磷)，which, when it rains, runs off into lakes and rivers, consuming oxygen, killing fish, stimulating algae(藻类)overgrowth and emitting greenhouse gases. Doing away with the pig is not an option. Pigs provide more dietary protein, more cheaply, to more people than any other animal. Northern Europe still maintains the highest pig-to-human ratio(比率)in the world (2-1 in Denmark), but East Asia is catching up. During the 1990s, pork production doubled in Vietnam and grew by 70 percent in Chinaalong densely populated coastlines, pig density exceeds 100 animals per square kilometer. The resulting pollution is “threatening fragile coastal marine habitats including mangroves(红树林)，coral reefs and sea grasses ,”according to a report released in February by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.As it turns out, there is a solution to the pig problem, but it requires a change of mind-set among environmentalists and the public. Two Canadian scientists have created a pig whose manure doesnt contain very much phosphorus at all. If this variety of pig were adopted widely, It could greatly reduce a major source of pollution. But the Enviropig, as they call it, is the product of genetic modificationwhich is anathema(忌讳) to many Westerners. The Enviropig is one of many new technologies that are putting environmentalists and organic-food supporters in a quandary: should they remain categorically(无条件) opposed to genetically modified (GM)foods even at the expense of the environment? Elsewhere, trees grown for paper could be made amenable to much more efficient processing, reducing both energy usage and toxic chemical bleach(漂白剂) in waste water from paper mills. The most significant GM applications will be ones that help lessen the problem of agriculture , which accounts for 38percent of the worlds landmass and is crowding out natural ecosystems and species habitats.Chances are, farmers will continue to grow their polluting organic pork, their allergenic(引起过敏的)organic soy and their neurotoxin(神经毒素) sprayed organic apples. Worse still, they will make sure that no one else gets a choice in the matter of improving the conditions of life on earthunless, that is, others rise up and demand an alternative.11.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Pigs bring more destruction than benefit to human beings.B. No other countries have the higher percentage of pig-to-human than East Asia.C. The pork production has increased to 70 in China.D. The pollution brought by pigs is a killer to the creature of the sea.12. The reason accounting for the hesitation to accept the idea of the Enviropig is_.A. the poor technology B. the high costC. the moral concept D. the doubt from the public13. What does the underlined word “quandary” mean?A. an agreement B. a negotiationC. a dilemma D. an adventure14. The negative influence brought by the traditional agriculture is_-.A. more living space occupation B. more crop improvementC. more food production D. more chemical application15. What is the best title of the passage?A. How to Raise Pigs B. Whether to choose the GM FoodsC. Whats GM Foods D. The Pollution Brought by Pigs【参考答案】1115、DCCAB 阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。Buying a house for most of the people is a once in a lifetime decision, which means people decide to do so only after coming across the ideal house.
