If you do, you might have noticed something interesting some of your friends seldom remember their dreams, but some can always describe their dreams so clearly that it seems like theyre describing things that really happened to them. What makes those people different?The answer is simple. There are two different types of dreamers low dream recallers（回忆者）and high dream recallers.Low dream recallers usually remember their dreams only twice a month. But high dream recallers are able to remember them about five mornings a week. And a new study suggests that activity in a certain part of the brain could have something to do with it, reported The Huffington Post.Perrine Ruby, a French researcher at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, studied 41 people (21 high dream recallers and 20 low dream recallers) and recorded their brain activity.She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction (颞顶联合区) was more active in high dream recallers than in low dream recallers both when they were sleeping and awake.This brain area collects and processes（编程）information from the outside world. This means that high dream recallers know more about whats happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond (对有反应) more strongly to hearing their own names, and when they are sleeping, they are woken more easily by sounds and movements.By closely studying peoples brain activities, Ruby found that high dream recallers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low dream recallers do. And it is during these short times of wakefulness that the brain remembers dreams.“The sleeping brain is not able to remember new information,” Ruby told The Washington Post. “It needs to wake up to be able to do that.”This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experiences. If you are worried during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well, you will remember little in the morning, and this is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.（1）According to the article, high dream recallers _.A . have very little brain activity during sleepB . can remember their dreams clearlyC . dont know how to describe their dreamsD . remember their dreams twice a week（2）Compared to high dream recallers, low dream recallers _.A . have higher sleep qualityB . have more sleepless nightsC . are more easily woken at nightD . respond faster when hearing their names（3）What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?A . To show the advantages of being a low dream recaller.B . To suggest what to do to become a low dream recaller.C . To make readers interested in future studies.D . To further explain Rubys research.13. （10分）阅读理解”I am so happy! said Gorilla.

Then we waited for the ants to arrive.After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels（地道）. I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.On the fifth day a tragedy（悲剧）happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired（钦佩）for their hard work.But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity（逆境）is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.（1） What did the writers family do for him when he was seven?A .

Teamwork is important.C . He cant accept adversity.D . Working alone is amazing.（5）What is the best title for the passage?A . Ants Fear AdversityB . My Family and AntsC . Giving Up in AdversityD . Dont give up anytime15. （10分）Plant scientists consider them as fruit. Most other people think of them as vegetables. Whatever you call tomatoes, there are many different kinds of this popular and healthy food.There are two groups of the plants. Small tomato plants grow to about one meter. They can be planted rather close together. Some short kinds do not require special care and are often gotten crop by machines. Large tomato plants can grow over two meters tall. They also produce larger fruits.People who grow only a few plants can place wire cages around each one. The cage can be made of wire fence material. The cage helps the plant grow taller and produce a better crop.Tomatoes often need extra calcium (Ca), or the fruits may be ruined. Add lime to the soil can solve this problem. Dry lands may also ruin the fruits. Tomatoes need water regularly. The soil should never dry out completely. Dried grass or leaves placed around the plant can help hold water in the soil and stop the growth of unwanted plants.Tomatoes are native to South America. The tomato is a member of the potato family. The leaves of the plant are poisonous, like the leaves of its relatives. Before the 18th century, people grew tomatoes only as pretty plants. They called the bright red fruit a “love apple”, but would not eat it.（1）Which of the following is right about the small tomato plants?A . They can grow to about 2 meters.B . They cant be planted close together.C . Some of them dont require special care.（2）People place wire cages around the plant in order to _.A . protect the plant from being taken by others.B . help the plant grow taller and produce a better cropC . keep the plant from being eaten by animals（3）The underlined word “ruin” probably means “_”.A . growB . destroyC . stop （4）People often give tomatoes extra calcium by _.A . adding lime to the soilB . watering the plant regularlyC . putting dried grass around the plant（5）What can we learn from the passage?A . omatoes are native to North America.B . The leaves of the plant can also be eaten.C . Americans began to eat tomatoes from the 18th century.四、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共6分)16. （5分）用方框中所给短语的适当形式填空look like wake up be famous for have a wonderful time on the top of（1）_your friendHe has slept for a whole afternoon（2）Hangzhou_the West Lake（3）She_her mother（4）They plant lots of flowers_the hill（5）They got together and_17. （1分）This road is very w_ now, but it was very narrow(狭窄的)ten years ago. 五、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)18. （5分）（2015贵州安顺）书面表达。学会自我保护是青少年需要具备的一种意识和能力。请根据以下提示，并结合自己的观点，以“How Can We Protect Ourselves?”为题，写一篇不少于80词的短文，谈谈在生活中青少年应该怎样自我保护(self-protection)。提示：1. never swim alone；2. be careful to make friends；3. call the police when you are in danger；4. eat healthy food；5. dont crowd(go upstairs and downstairs)要求：1.句子结构准确，要点齐全，内容合理，篇章结构连贯；2.文中不能出现真实姓名、校名、地名。第 15 页 共 15 页参考答案一、 单项填空。 (共10题；共20分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、9-1、10-1、二、 完形填空。 (共1题；共15分)11-1、三、 阅读理解。 (共4题；共36分)12-1、12-2、12-3、13-1、13-2、13-3、13-4、13-5、14-1、14-2、14-3、14-4、14-5、15-1、15-2、15-3、15-4、15-5、四、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共6分)16-1、16-2、16-3、16-4、16-5、17-1、五、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)18-1、
