【題目】Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you know was in trouble and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP.

ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called a“sixth sense.”It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.

Here is an example：A woman was doing washing. Suddenly she screamed, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair.”Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father had died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.

There are thousands of stories like this on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what is behind these strange mental messages. Here's another exampleone of hundreds of dreams that have come true.

A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There's room for one more.”The man felt the driver was death, so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver said，“There's room for one more.”Then the man saw the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!

Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidence. Others, including some scientists say that ESP is true. From studies of ESP, we may some day learn more about the human mind.

【1】ESP lets people know about________.

A．their dreams

B．events after they happen

C．events before they happen

D．heart attacks

【2】The example of the man shows an ability to________.

A．a(chǎn)void traffic accident

B．judge the good and evil of a person

C．know about the events that are happening some distance away

D．sense a danger that will actually happen later on

【3】In this passage the underlined word“coincidences”probably means________.

A．things which do not happen

B．things which happen by accident without necessary connection

C．things which are only dreams

D．things dreamed of only by sick people

【4】From the passage, it can be inferred that________.

A．the dead

B．men

C．women

D．either B or C

【答案】【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】【1】什么是ESP(超感官知覺)，在第二段中進(jìn)行了解釋；It seems to let people know about events before they happen...，故選C。

【2】文章第五自然段記敘了一個(gè)實(shí)例，一個(gè)人夢(mèng)中發(fā)生的一切后來竟成為事實(shí)。他感知到了夢(mèng)中可怕的結(jié)局，在現(xiàn)實(shí)中He wouldn't get on the bus.由此可見他有一種超前預(yù)知未來危險(xiǎn)的能力(即ESP)，故本題選D。

【3】人們對(duì)ESP持兩種觀點(diǎn)：一些人(包括一些科學(xué)家在內(nèi))認(rèn)為ESP真實(shí)存在；而另一些人認(rèn)為這些ESP的事例要么是撒謊，要么是巧合。A、C項(xiàng)與事實(shí)不符。D項(xiàng)文章中沒有涉及sick people。

【4】文中列舉了一男一女兩個(gè)實(shí)例，而A項(xiàng)the dead不可能有ESP。故本題選D。

【題目】Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 【1】 Some ways of dealing with stress—like screaming or hitting someone—don’t solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 【2】 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

(2) Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that’s not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don’t take it out on yourself. 【3】

(3) Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business. 【4】 Even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.

(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暫時(shí)的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make

your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster. 【5】

A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

B. Noticeyour friends’ feelings and find a way to help them.

C. Different people get rid of stress in different ways.

D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.

E. You need to figure out what the problem is.

F. And don’t forget about your friends.

G. Then, find a way to calm down.

【題目】閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

E

The cost of medical care in the United States is very high. The time and money that doctors spend on their medical education is probably one reason for this problem.

A visit to a doctor's office costs from fifteen to fifty dollars. It is almost impossible for people to pay for medical care they need. Many people in the United States think that doctors are overpaid. Most doctors, however, disagree. They say that they have been required to study medicine for a long time. Tuition(學(xué)費(fèi))for many years of medical education costs lots of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from a bank to pay their tuition. Because this money must be repaid to the bank, young doctors need to receive a lot of money for their work. So they charge(收費(fèi))people high prices for medical care.

Therefore, it's possible that the high cost of medical care in America is unnecessary. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs, one way to lower costs would be to have medical schools that are free or have low tuition.

【1】Some people don't have their medical care they need because________.

A．they are not willing to pay the doctors high tuition

B．they don't think it necessary to have medical care

C．they don't want to spend much money on it

D．they haven't got enough money to pay for it

【2】The reason for the high medical cost mentioned(提到)in the article is________.

A．tuition in medical schools is high

B．the price of medicine is high

C．doctors are overpaid

D．doctors must pay money to banks

【3】One way to lower the cost of medical care would be________.

A．not to see a doctor

B．to pay doctors less money

C．to let medical students have free or partly free medical education

D．to forbid(禁止)doctors to ask their patients for too much money

【4】The main idea of the article is that________.

A．a(chǎn) visit to a doctor's office may cost as much as 15 to 50 in US

B．the cost of medical care is the main reason for the high costs in US

C．medical care in the United States costs a lot of money because doctors want to be rich

D．the high cost of tuition in medical schools is one reason for the high cost of medical care in America
