Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2013·潍坊5月模拟)
When you tidy your messy bedroom，it gets a lot easier to find things.Dreams may work the same way for a messy brain，helping you learn by organizing memories and ideas.
To test how much dreams can help learning，Robert Stickgold had some students play a shapefitting game called Tetris (俄罗斯方块) for a few hours and then go to sleep.Soon they were dreaming of falling Tetris shapes.Interestingly，the worst Tetris players had the most Tetris dreams and improved their game the most.Similar tests have shown the same results for all kinds of skills.
As we dream，many important tasks are getting done.The brain decides what to keep and what to forget.It is connecting new experiences to older learning.In fact，the brain is learning all night long.
Another important task of dreams may be to help us deal with emotions (情绪)．At night，emotions are in the driver’s seat.People who have had an upsetting experience often dream
about
it
afterward.Often
the
dream event
changes somehow—another way the brain tries to make the memory less upset.So if your best friend moves away，you might dream that you’re the one who’s moving.In fact，dreams have a proven power to improve mood，and people who dream about what’s bothering them usually feel better sooner than those who don’t.
Everybody dreams for a couple of hours every night—in the course
of your life，you’ll spend about 25 years asleep and 6 years dreaming.There’s probably no single answer to the question why we dream，but there doesn’t have to be.One dream might help you remember your math facts，while another might lead to a new invention，or give you a fun，crazy story to tell your friends.It’s all in a night’s work for our busy，mysterious brains.
1．Robert Stickgold’s test shows that________.
A．games are useful for memory
B．dreams can help improve skills
C．players stop learning in dreams
D．tasks can only be settled through dreams
2．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that________.
A．dreams can get rid of sufferings
B．only drivers can deal with emotions
C．one may be less upset after a dream
D．dreams can copy what one experienced
3．Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A．Dreaming does harm to one’s mood.
B．Dreaming affects the quality of sleep.
C．It’s hard to find out the secrets of dreaming.
D．It’s not so important to know the cause of dreaming.
4．What does the text focus on?
A．Dreams and memories.B．Dreams and emotions.
C．The benefits of dreams.D．The patterns of dreams.
5．In which part of a magazine can this text be found?
A．Entertainment.B．Tourism.
C．Science.D．Advertisement.

课时作业(十九)
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．解析： 考查交际用语。A项是表示感谢的回答语，B项是请求对方帮助的回答语，D项是道歉的回答语，都不符合题意。C项表示“coffee please”，与本题情景相符。
答案： C
2．解析： 考查冠词的用法。句意为：www.videojug.com是一个很受欢迎的网站，它里面有一个配有清晰讲解的饮食节目。根据语意可知，本题中的两空都表示泛指，因此都用不定冠词。
答案： C
3．解析： 根据空后面的“minor subject”可知，空处表示“主修的”，故选major。main主要的；chief首要的；primary最初的，基本的。
答案： B
4．解析： 考查非谓语动词。句意为：在北京师范大学度过一段时间之后，我对其师生的素质印象颇深。spend这一动作发生在主句谓语动作之前，且该动作是由主句的主语发出的，故用现在分词的完成式。
答案： A
5．解析： 此处way作先行词，定语从句中缺少状语，可以用that或in which引导，亦可省去引导词。
答案： D
6．解析： 句意为：律师建议Tom放弃这场官司，因为他赢的可能性很小。affair事务，事情；case诉讼案，官司；incident严重事件，冲突；event重要事情，大事。

答案： B
10．解析： 考查固定句型。根据答句可知，后者赞同前者的话。“so＋主语＋助动词”结构意为“的确如此”，符合语境，故排除B、C两项；此处强调的是发生在过去的客观事实，因此应用so he was。“so＋助动词＋主语”结构指上文提到的情况同样也适用于后者，不符合语境。
答案： D
11．解析： 考查动词辨析。句意为：当我们到达山顶的时候，壮丽的海景映入眼帘。acknowledge承认；interrupt打断；display陈列；greet映入……的眼帘。
答案： D

答案： C
13．解析： 考查虚拟语气。句意为：我知道发生这样的事情是正常的，但如果我们更小心一点儿的话，这样的事是可以避免的。根据句中的“if we’d been more careful”可知，此处表示与过去事实相反的假设，故用could/might/would have done结构。

Recently an activity has been going on in our school which is called “Becoming a Guardian to Protect the Environment”．Students are asked to hand in used batteries，newspaper and so on to get a card as a reward.I think we can benefit a lot from this activity.
Firstly，this activity will help to raise our environmental awareness and save resources.Secondly，the used batteries are harmful to the environment.Recycling them has been of great importance in terms of conserving
natural
resources，environment
protection
and
human health.
Meanwhile，we can still do a lot more to help protect the environment.For example，we should remember to turn off the light before we leave the room.And we shouldn’t leave the tap water running
after we use it.
