解析
小题1:C上文提到本世纪初，科学家们就已经发现人体不仅有血肉组成，还有时间。因此，根据这个发现，他们能够证明在人体内存在生物钟。be anxious to do渴望做某事，此处没有强调科学家的心理活动，故排除。
小题1:B根据常识及文中第一句we’re built not just of flesh and blood but also of time.可知答案。
小题1:A空格上所缺词应与and后面的fall 构成互补关系，才能较全面的概括人的活动。
小题1:D结合前一句话中的controls可知，生物钟能使我们每天的表现不一样。show 证明，展示，指示；treat对待；change使改变。如选change就意为使我们发生变化,与上下文意思不符。
小题1:A“生物钟”只是科学家经过研究而得出的一种结论或观点。
小题1:D根据空格后面的原因状语从句可知答案。
小题1:C大部分有生命的动物都受到日夜轮回这个时间循环的控制。
小题1:C结合常识可知，人工作一天,到晚上应是比较劳累。另外，后面的fall asleep 应是由劳累引起的。dreamy多梦的，不应出现在fall asleep之前。
小题1:D人休息了一晚上，第二天又充满了生机、活力。
小题1:B如果时间循环被打乱，大部分人就会不舒服。
小题1:C结合下一句的例子可知，此处应为人感到不舒服。
小题1:A be used to doing something习惯于……。上文中提到人的生物钟如被打乱，可能会感到不舒服。所以，如果不习惯于在晚上工作的人如果晚上工作，工作就会做不好。
小题1:D lack此处为名词，在从句中做主语，lack of…缺乏……。
小题1:B perform工作；表现。
小题1:C根据后面的also可得知答案。
小题1:A人类的日夜循环分为两段时间：即睡眠时的时间和醒着的时间。
小题1:D根据后面的longer than one day 可知，此处last意为持续。
小题1:B大部分人都有这种体验，都同意这种看法。
小题1:A上文提到了some days与之相对应的是other days即others。
小题1:B此处just用于否定句中表强调,它们根本就不存在。

Many kids like to stay in familiar places. So as you consider a move, weigh the benefits (好处) of that change against the comfort that neighborhood, school, and social life give your kids. If your family has recently dealt with a big life change, such as death, you may want to put off a move to give your children time to accept the fact.
The decision to move may be out of your hands, perhaps because of a new job or money problems. Even if you’re not happy about the move, try to keep a positive (积极的) attitude to it. During the move, a parent’s attitude can greatly influence kids.
No matter what the results are, the most important way to prepare kids to move is to talk about it. Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible. You can ask kids to join in the planning such as house-hunting or the search for a new school. This can make the change feel less like it’s being forced (被迫) on them. If you’re moving across town, try to take your children to visit the new house and th
e new neighborhood.A move can have many problems, but good things also come from this kind of change. Your family might grow closer and you may learn more about each other by going through it together.
小题1:According to the text, a move can be a bad experience for kids because ________.
| A．they may feel they’re forced to do so | B．they often feel lonely in a new school |
| C．they don’t like their busy parents | D．they are tired of the moving process |
| A．The child’s birthday is coming. | B．A family member has died. |
| C．The new neighborhood isn’t safe. | D．The parents have money problems. |
| A．Allowing them to choose a school by themselves. |
| B．Trying not to show them the bad parts of a move. |
| C．Offering them as much information as possible. |
| D．Promising to choose a new house with them. |
| A．what we should do before a move |
| B．how to prepare children for a move |
| C．how a move can change the family |
| D．why parents should talk to children often |
1. Look up English to Elvish.
2. Look up the Elvish word in the best Elvish dictionary you have, and, preferably, find out the context（上下文） in Tolkien’s language dictionary.
3. Change the word to suit rules of grammar: singular or plural, mutations, verb tenses, etc.
You cannot leave out any of these steps. If you do, you’re almost certain to have errors. Why you have to do step 2:
Languages never match up one- to-one. English and Elvish are closer than usual, but there are still problems. And English has strange idioms: why are there no baths or beds in public bathrooms or restrooms? You can’t translate literally（逐字地）. You have to understand the meaning behind each word.
In Elvish this is even more true, since our dictionaries contain more or less questionable reconstructions, and words that Tolkien later threw away or replaced. Find the best one you can.
Consider the word “fair”. We tend to use it to mean “just”. Tolkien tends to use it to mean “beautiful”. In Elvish, these are two entirely different words. So when you look up “fair”, you’ll have to go to the Elvish dictionary to see that you’ve got the right one.
Consider the nightmare（噩梦）of He left the bar. Is “left” the opposite of “right” （which also has two meanings） ? Is “bar” extruded steel（型材钢）, or something to do with law? You have to know what words mean in both languages.
And you’d be amazed at how many people ignore step 3, forgetting that language is more than a string of words, and there are rules about how to fit those words together. You can’t simply look up the word “I” and use it everywhere. Sometimes you need “me” or “my”. There’s a reason it takes a while to learn a language: you have to learn the rules.
It drives me completely mad when people give a questionable translation they insist is right because “it’s in the dictionary”. A dictionary is a tool, a resource. but its entries（词目）should not be mistaken for a finished product. They are raw materials.
小题1:The underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refers to .
A．consulting the dictionaries when translating between language s |
| B．finding out the true meaning in context |
| C．ignoring the rules of grammar |
| D．leaving out some of the three steps the author mentions |
| A．you have to understand the meaning behind each word |
| B．Elvish and English are quite different in forms |
| C．there are no baths or beds in public bathrooms |
| D．Elvish has some words which are hard to find |
| A．helps fit the words together |
| B．takes a while to learn a language |
| C．is a rule to obey |
| D．is often forgotten in translating |
| A．his impatience to those who insist their wrong translation is right |
| B．his puzzle to the questionable translation |
| C．the importance of the correct use of dictionaries |
| D．the mistaken entries in the dictionaries |
| A．learn a foreign language with a dictionary |
| B．avoid errors when looking up a dictionary |
| C．understand the meaning of a strange word |
| D．use a dictionary to translate between languages |
io) does. His work is to steal secrets from people when they are asleep and dreaming. He has an even rarer ability: He can plant an idea in someone’s sleeping mind, and watch it grow and take root in reality. This ability is called inception.The movie Inception (《盗梦空间》) was on show in Chinese cinemas not long ago. It is imaginative, of course. The movie leads one to wonder just how much we know about dreams. For years, scientists and researchers have been trying to solve sleep’s greatest mystery.
Is it possible to enter someone’s dreaming mind? In the movie, DiCaprio uses a drug and a dream machine to put a scenario (某一特定情节) into someone’s sleeping mind. He then goes to sleep himself, connected to the machine, and enters the other person’s dream.
In real life, there is a machine that can read someone’s mind. A brain scanner takes pictures of brain activity, and then the software recreates images of what the person was looking at.
Researchers say it may be possible one day to record someone’s dream – without the danger (or the fun) of actually sharing that dream.
What’s a dream, anyway? A dream is a group of images and sounds our brain creates when we’re sleeping. In the 1950s, researchers discovered a sleeping condition that happened around every 90 to
120 minutes during sleep: rapid eye movement, or REM. During this period you’re fast asleep, yet your eyes move around quickly under your eyelids (眼皮) and your brain is nearly as active as during the day. That’s when most dreams happen.What do dreams mean? Dreams are not always filled with meaning. Sometimes dreams are just your mind playing with thoughts and images from your life, or things you may have read or seen on TV. But at other times, dreams show things that you want to achieve in real life, or things that cause you trouble or stress.
小题1:The movie Inception is mentioned at the beginning of the article to ______.
| A．encourage readers to watch the movie |
| B．tell readers about people with special dreaming abilities |
| C．inform readers about the science of dreams |
| D．warn reader about the threat of dream stealers |
| A．It records dreams. |
| B．It uses a special drug that causes no pain. |
| C．It finds out what dreams mean. |
| D．It takes pictures of brain activity and recreates images. |
| A．Most dreams occur in REM sleep. |
| B．Over the last ten years scientists have solved the mystery of REM sleep. |
| C．People always remember what they have dreamed in a REM sleep. |
| D．People can have REM sleep all night. |
| A．dreams tell us a lot about a person’s character |
| B．dreams are connected to real life |
| C．dreams are useful and help keep our brains active |
| D．dreams are usually about meaningful things |
When I was in middle school, I was one of the smaller players on the basketball team. In our first game of the season, we were 31 to face a good team, all of whom were tall guys. Naturally, at my 32 , it would have been easy to be 33 by our competitors.
On game day, my basketball coach called me over to him. He was a strong and tough coach, and in his 34 rough manner said, “Joel, you’re not that 35 , but let me tell you that size doesn’t matter. Don’t be afraid. What 36 is right down in here.” He pointed his finger at his 37 as he continued, “Joel, you’ve got a big heart, and you’re to 38 it this year.”
When I heard the coach’s 39 , I stood taller than usual! I thought to myself: The coach believes in me! My confidence 40 and I played better that year than I’d ever done before.
It’s 41 what we can achieve when we know somebody really believes in us. That coach took a little time to make a big 42 . He took time to make me confident in myself. If we’re going to 43 the best in people, we need to sow seeds of 44 .
As the saying goes, “Love looks for a way of being constructive.” 45 , love looks for ways to help improve somebody else’s life.
When people are 46 us, they should leave better off than they were before. People should feel 47 and inspired after spending any time with you and me 48 feeling discouraged or defeated.
Remember, there’s 49 greater investment（投资）in life than in being a people builder. Relationships 50 much more to us than our achievements.

Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things．
You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living．If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served．
Similarly, If you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself．In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services．
This account of yourself is actually a general description of your working life and should include education, experience and references．Such an account is valuable．It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews．While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner．
When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell．Then you are ready to look for a job．Get all the possible information about your could-be job．Make inquiries about the details concerning the job and the firm．Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment．Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the position you wish for, and keep in mind: Obtaining a job is your job now．
