If a person is hungry 49 tired or cold, his dream may include a feeling of this kind. If the blanket on your body has slipped 50 your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping or resting on the ice or snow. So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect 51 you while you are sleeping(feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. 52 are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean.

Agreement on this important step in ongoing cooperation between the two sides was reached by media representatives attending a media forum on September 19 in Abuja, Nigeria. The agreement comes in the wake of increasing attention being paid by the international community on Africa’s deepening relationship with China. "This presents an important opportunity for media in China, Nigeria and other African countries. We should seize the moment to expand cooperation between Chinese and Nigeria media, increase our say, and contribute to cooperation between China, Nigeria and Africa as a whole," said Li Wufeng, Vice Minister of the State Council Information Office at the China-Nigeria Media meeting. The media meeting was jointly held by the State Council Information Office, the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria, and the Federal Ministry of Education, Nigeria. It formed part of the "Experience China" program, which aims to increase cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between China and other parts of the world. In the past, due to poor communication facilities, China and African countries could only learn about each other through third parties, in particular Western media, which may have given rise to and perpetuated misunderstandings. "China is still not a constant feature or subject on the front page and prime time in the news media in Nigeria unless there are disasters and alleged human rights abuses to be reported," said Martins Oloja, Editor of The Guardian. Major Western media continue to promote a Cold War mentality and view Sino-African ties through the lens of geopolitics, framing everything as competition between East and West, Chinese and Nigerian media professionals said at the forum. Some Western media outlets accuse China of ignoring mutually beneficial solutions or sustainable development of African people, while robbing the continent of its natural resources. "Nigerians cannot expect Aljazeera or BBC to report on Africa, and indeed Nigeria and China relations, the way we want," said Oloja. Mutually objective coverage will generate more cooperation and better understanding between China and Nigeria, said Li Xiaohua, a representative from China. org.cn, a leading multi-language website in China. 56.

He was happy with his choice. It may have cost 30 yuan （just under US$4. 50） - ten times the price of a filament(灯丝) bulb - but he wanted to save energy as part of his low-carbon lifestyle. And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 yuan he was spending. Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price. Will he stick to his high-cost, low-carbon lifestyle? China’s environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change. But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living comes at a high cost. It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods. Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases. An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative - whether it’s a simple light bulb or the house it shines. For average consumers, even buying an ordinary bulb is a huge burden. How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich. Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a high-carbon life in the future. The principle of "common but differentiated responsibility" - a basis of sustainable development - can be applied here as well. In China, low-carbon living still is resisted by a lack of social infrastructure(基础设施). Even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish it. Consider energy-saving homes. You need to find out whether or not the developer has used natural materials wherever possible; how effective the insulation(绝缘物、隔热物) is; and what the green credentials of installed equipment are. You can read up a little, but you’ll still be lucky to avoid being puzzled by the developers’ marketing. Many so-called energy-saving buildings are nothing of the sort, and some are even more energy-hungry than the average home - as Li Taige warned in his article "Energy-efficient buildings? Not always", on China Dialogue last August. 61. What may probably be the best title of this passage? A. To purchase a cheap bulb - your wise alternative. B. To choose an energy-saving residence - a must of your life C. To learn a low-carbon lifestyle - each citizen’s responsibility D. To learn a low-carbon lifestyle - a promising but difficult purpose 解析：主旨大意题。本文讲述了一个热门话题，在中国很多人都想过低碳环保的生活，但是 很多低碳环保的产品都不环保。文章中通过一个飞利浦的节能灯泡说明了在中国低碳环保的 生活在未来是很有希望的，但是很难实现。故 D 正确。 答案：D 62. Why does the writer say this fashion is only for the rich in the fourth paragraph? A. Because the cost is a very important standard for purchases. B. Because buying an ordinary bulb is very expensive. C. Because energy-saving products are more expensive than the common alternatives. D. Because rich people like to follow this trend. 解析：细节题。根据文章第三段最后 4 行 An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative - whether it’s a simple light bulb or the house it shines. For average consumers, even buying an ordinary bulb is a huge burden. How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich. 可知很多的绿色环保的产品都很贵，一般的 人根本消费不起。所以这样的生活只有富人才能过。故 C 正确。 答案：C 63.

Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a high-carbon life in the future. 可知很多消费者他们都不会导致太多的碳排放，所以 不是所有的居民都要为此负责。故 C 正确。 答案：C 65. What is the writer’s attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle? A. informative and entertaining B. supportive but cautious C. negative but wise D. positive and active 解析：推理题。在本文中作者提及了低碳环保的生活方式的重要意义，也提及了在中国实行 这个生活所面临的巨大困难。可知作者对于这种生活是支持的。但是态度也很谨慎。故 B 正确。 答案：B C You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset .When you take and take without giving anything back ,you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life. The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values .I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose. Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life. When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power. When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you. 66. The main purpose of this passage is to ________. A. persuade the readers to make a commitment B. inform the readers how to be truly happy C. explain to the readers what personal values are D. instruct the readers how to make wise choices 解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容 You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.可知本文主要讲述的是如果我们要想幸福，就要在奉献和接受之 间取得一个平衡。故 B 正确。 答案：B 67. According to the text, living by your being values ,you would ________. A. gain a lot of power B. fill your own needs C. seek all human virtues D. form positive personality 解析：推理题。根据文章第二段suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model.可知如果我们 以 being value 的方式在生活，我们会更加积极向上。故 D 正确。 答案：D 68. The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means ________.

Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. Like our body, our memory needs regular exercise to be in good condition. Like the sportsman who must train to allow the body to respond to difficult times, the memory needs its own special training in order to stay in “shape” and improve. There are many factors that can cause poor memory like insomnia(失眠), depression and alcohol. However, there are simple ways which you can follow to keep your memory in shape and actually help you to improve your memory’s condition and performance. Never stop learning. Look for topics that interest you and really get involved in learning new information about them. Reading and attending lectures or programs are sources of continuous education of your brain with beneficial results to your memory. Develop your social and family relationships. The more social you are, the better it is for your brain. Studies have shown that the brain and heart have a lot to gain from good family and social relationships. Exercise your mind with games. The more you use your brain, the more you help your memory stay in shape. There are many games that can make you an intelligent person as well as entertain you such as chess, puzzles and board games. Exercise physically can improve your memory. This type of exercise improves the circulatory(血液循环的) system.

Conclusion/ Summary 80. perform better Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet. The tasty cream-filled golden sponge(海绵) cakes have been an American favorite for decades. These are just a few of the sugary treats made by the beloved Hostess brand. But after more than 80 years, Americans have to say goodbye to these iconic(标志性的) desserts. Early last week, Hostess announced it is going out of business. “Many people have worked unbelievably long and hard to keep this from happening,” said Hostess CEO Gregory F. Rayburn. "Hostess Brand has no other alternative than to begin the process of getting down and preparing for the sale of our iconic brands." Along with Twinkles(奶 油蛋糕) and Wonder Bread, cupcakes and other sugary treats may disappear from the shelves. In the past decade, Hostess has experienced difficulties with its management and high labor costs. The company had money troubles in the past, but this time there was no way to recover. Along with the loss of sugary treats comes the loss of nearly 20,000 jobs. Hostess fans hope that another company will buy out the Hostess. The downfall of Hostess is due not just to the company’s financial problems, but also to a changing America. Our country’s tastes and lifestyles are not the same as they were eighty years ago. Americans have become more health-conscious, and they are demanding more healthful food products. As a manufacturer of high-calorie products, Hostess does not fit into this new way of life. To make matters worse for Hostess, Americans do not eat as much bread as they once did. "More and more people are choosing one-dish meals," said Harry Balzar. "The tradition of bread as a side dish is going out." Americans are finding alternatives to their morning toast too. Instead they’re choosing quick snacks like yogurt and energy bars. Will Twinkles become an image of a bygone(过去的) America? Hostess fans hope that it will secure its spot on supermarket shelves for years to come. We can only wait. And maybe eat fruit for dessert instead. 81. What caused Hostess to be in trouble in the last 10 years?

Thrilled as I was, I tried not to tell my family about what was going on, which was actually quite natural for a boy in his “rebellious period”. After getting home from school, I went straight into my room and tried my costume on quietly. When I was making myself up, I got so concentrated that I didn’t hear my grandfather who was asking me to dinner. Much to my surprise, he suddenly opened my door and came in, and it didn’t take long for him to get totally shocked. For what seemed an eternity, the two of us stood in stunned silence, not knowing what to say. Imagine his dismay when he saw me dressed up like a madman! We both tried to avoid each other later that day, and I could tell he was more than angry. Even my parents put some pressure on me. I didn’t know what to do at first, because I thought he was overreacting—I was just preparing for the show! I got a little depressed for a while, but realizing it couldn’t solve the problem, I tried to help them understand what cosplay was all about. I didn’t go up close to my grandfather right away. Instead, I went to my parents first. With their support and help, my grandfather finally gave credit to what I was doing. After all, it’s communication that matters.
