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 and turned. Then he had 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 and 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 from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the 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 practised sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas 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 of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part 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”.46.According to the passage, Elias Howe was_. A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep B. much more hard-working than other inventors C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams47.The problem Howe was trying to solve was_. A. what kind of thread to use B. how to design a needle which would not break C. where to put the needle D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle48.Thomas Edison is spoken of because_. A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine B. he got some of his ideas from dreams C. he was one of Howes best friends D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep49.Dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves” because _. A. strange images are used to municate ideas B. images which have no meaning are used C. we can never understand the real meaning D. only specially trained people can understand them BPrinceton UniversityLocationThe University is in Princeton, New Jersey.

Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours arent necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if shed been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun- see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that puters and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They dont take the place of any of the old ways.54. The purpose of this passage is to _. A. explain how to use the Internet B. describe the writers joy of keeping up with the latest technology C. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the Internet D. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal puters and the Internet55. The use of E-mail has made it possible for the writer to _. A. spend less time working B. have more free time with his child C. work at home on weekends D. work at a speed fortable to him56. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one _. A. reach a group of people at one time conveniently B. keep ones munication as personal as possible C. pass on much more information than the later D. get in touch with ones friends faster than the later57. The best title for this passage is _. A. puter: New Technological Advances B. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good Friendship C. puters Have Made Life Easier D. Internet: a Convenient Tool for munication DAnthrax (炭疽) is a naturally occurring disease of plant-eating animals caused by the anthrax bacillus (杆菌). It is an illness which has been recognized since ancient times. Anthrax was mon essentially in all areas where livestock (=animals kept on a farm, such as sheep and cattle) are raised. Intensive livestock immunization (免疫) programs have greatly reduced the occurrence of the disease among both animals and humans in much of the world. However, outbreaks occurred during the mid-1990s in Haiti and the former Soviet Union.Anthrax bacteria are named for the Greek word for coal-anthrakis, because they cause coal-black injury when they infect the skin. Anthrax spores (孢子) can remain viable for several decades (a period of ten years) under suitable environmental conditions; thus, absence of cases does not equate to absence of risk. Humans can contract (=to get to have an illness) anthrax in three ways: through cuts or breaks in the skin resulting from contact with an infected animal, from breathing anthrax sores or eating infected meat.One day in September, xx, a 7-month-old son of an ABC producer in Manhattan spent time at the network offices. He developed a rash, and was hospitalized with an unknown illness soon after the visit. He was later diagnosed (诊断) anthrax. This was the beginning of the anthrax scare (=a sudden feeling of fear) created by terrorists throughout the USA and the rest of the world.58. Where does anthrax e from A. Human beings. B. Wild animals. C. Animals fed on plants. D. The ABC producer.59. What does the underlined word viable mean A. Being able to be seen. B. Dead. C. Being of great value. D. Alive60. What will happen if livestock receive the immunization against anthrax A. There will be no anthrax disease in the world. B. The occurrence of anthrax can be reduced among both animals and humans. C. Anthrax can be prevented from occurring among animals. D. nthrax can be prevented from spreading among humans.61. We can infer from the passage that _. A.the international terrorists might have scared the baby on purpose B.people will never suffer from anthrax if they dont eat the infected meat C.the son of an ABC producer might have touched some infected meat D.the son of an ABC producer might have breathed the anthrax spores E Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.I think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生), said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. I think by 2075 we will see it and thats a conservative estimate (保守的估计).At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. There is a great push so that people can live from I20 to 180 years, he said. Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life? said Leonard Pooh, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.62. By saying we are knocking at the door of immortality, Michael Zey means _ A. they believe that there is no limit of living B. they are sure to find the truth about long living C. they have got some ideas about living forever D. they are able to make people live past the present life span63. Donald Lourias attitude towards long living is that _. A. people can live from 120 to 180 B. it is still doubtful how long humans can live C. the human body is designed to last past about 120 years D. it is possible for humans to live longer in the future64. The underlined it ( paragraph 4 ) refers to _. A. a great push B. the idea of living beyond the present life span C. the idea of living from 200 to 300 years D. the conservative estimate65. What would be the best title for this text? A. Living Longer or Not B.
