【題目】A scientist believes he has discovered a direct link between people's favourite sleeping position and their personality. Professor Chris Idzikowski has described six different positions and what each one says about a person’s character. The professor, who did the research for a hotel group, said, “We are all aware of our body language when we are awake but this is the first time we have been able to see what our position says about us when we are asleep.” At the moment, Professor Idzikowski is trying to sleep in a yoga position that involves crossing your legs around your neck. He says there is no perfect position for sleeping.

1. THE STARFISH

“Starfish” sleep flat on their back with their arms raised. They are good listeners who make friends easily but do not like to be the centre of the attention.

2. THE YEARNER

“Yearners” sleep on their side with their arms raised. They are doubtful and have a very sensible approach to life.

3. THE FOETUS

The most popular position, particularly among women. They sleep curled（蜷縮）up on their side, holding on to the pillow. They appear to be tough but are actually sensitive and shy.

4. THE FREEFALLER

Only 6.5% of people prefer to sleep on their front, making this the least popular sleeping position. “Freefallers” seem very confident, although this hides a nervous personality.

5. THE LOG

The “l(fā)og” position is similar to the “yearner” but with arms by the sides. “Logs” are easy-going and sociable, but can be seen as too gullible, easily to be tricked.

6. THE SOLDIER

“Soldiers”, who sleep on their back with their arms by their sides, are quiet and reserved. They set high standards for themselves and do not like noisy social situations.

【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A. The yoga sleeping position is the best one.

B. People don't know their body language when awake.

C. People's sleeping position determines their personality.

D. Professor Idzikowski shows great interest in sleeping positions.

【2】Which of the following sayings about the sleeping position is correct?

A. “Foetus” seem to be strong but sensitive.

B. “Yearners” sleep on their back with their arms raised.

C. “Starfish” like to be the focus of the attention.

D. “Soldiers” sleep on their side with their arms by their sides.

【3】What does the underlined word gullible mean in Paragraph 6?

A. Easily annoyed. B. Easily approached.

C. Easily cheated. D. Easily satisfied.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】C

【解析】本文是一片說明文，說明了不同睡姿的人性格有何不同，題目較簡單，可對應原文找出答案。

【1】推理判斷題。Professor描述了六種睡姿 并又進行研究 由此推斷可知 教授對此很感興趣 故選D。

【2】細節(jié)查詢題�？筛鶕�(jù)不同的睡姿對應原文內容 根據(jù)第四段They appear to be tough but are actually sensitive and shy.可知A正確

【3】詞義理解題。定位到倒數(shù)第三段 該詞語應該與后面easily to be tricked.意思相近即易受騙的，故選C

【題目】In many parts of the world，cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them.So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe.But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by ear manufacturers.

The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program.The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized，which will mean much saving，no accidents and better use of roads.The superintelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual.Instead，we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.

According to Dr.David Davis，who leads the research team，these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture，which had blocked up our cities，polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.

Davis says，cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another.The car will automatically speed up，or slow down，to match the speed of the car in front.Computers are much safer drivers than people，so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.

By 2010，Dr.David Davis believes，car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road，whatever the weather conditions，by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen.And by 2020，cars will travel in_convoy,_linked to each other electronically.Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “roadtrains”．“The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.”says Davis.“But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount，and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”

【1】Which of the following will be the characteristic of the cars of 2020?

A. The car will speed up out of control.

B. We will own as many cars as we want.

C. All cars will be driven by computers.

D. Cars will produce more pollution than present ones.

【2】The leader of the research team believes that the present car culture will change because________.

A. cars play a very important role in daily life

B. many societies would stop functioning without cars

C. cars should not be owned by one individual

D. it causes many deaths to human society

【3】The expression closest in meaning to the phrase “in convoy” in the last paragraph is________.

A. in line B. sidelong

C. side by side D. shoulder to shoulder

【4】What will happen if cars are joined to each other electro- nically in 2020?

A. Motorists will get a clear view of the road.

B. There will be less pollution caused by car.

C. The weather condition will not have effect on motorists.

D. All trains will bum less fuel than present.

Dear editor，

I’m sorry to occupy your precious time, and I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays. I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason. First of all, as it is known to people, pets make loud noise that trouble residents a lot. What’s more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention. Take all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.

Yours truly,

Wang Lin
