What Is a Dream?
For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others,however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us abouta person’s mind and emotions.
Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. ________(46)
The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud,was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expression of a person’s wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express inreal life.
The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was once a student of Freud’s. Jung,however,had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. _____(47) For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.
Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz,believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person’s daily life,thoughts, and behavior. _____(48)
Domhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.
He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. _______(49)This is not true of women’s dreams.3 Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modern and traditional ones.
Can dreams help us understand ourselves?Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. _____(50)The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event willactually take place. It’s important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.
A. For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting.
B. Men and women dream about different things.
C. A criminal, for example, might dream about crime.
D. However, one thing they agree on this:If you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn't panic.
E. It was only in the twentieth centurythat people started to study dreams in a scientific way.
F. He thought people could leam more about themselves by thinking about their dreams.

篇5:职称英语试题及答案
If Yao Ming is not the biggest sports star in the world, he almost certainly the tallest. At 2.26m, he is the tallest player in the National Basketball Association (NBA)and holds the record as the most towering Olympian ever to competein the Game.
But what really stands out about the giant center is his celebrity (名气). Few, if any, Chinese athletes are as well-known as Yao Ming around the world. People across the globe are fascinated with Yao, notonly for his basketball prowess(接杰出的才能)but also for being a symbol of international commerce.
When Yao joined the Houston Rockets as the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft he was the first international player ever to be selected first. His assets on the court are clear enough 一 no NBA player of his size has ever possessed his mobility, so he is ahandful (难对付的人)foropponents on either end of the court. But what makes Yao invaluable to the Rockets organization is his role as a global citizen and as a bridge tomillions of potential basket ball fans in China.
When it was announced in February that Yao would miss the rest of the NBA season and possibly the Olympics with a stress fracture (骨折)in his left foot, a collective shudder spread across China. After considerabledebate and discussion, Yao opted to get his foot surgically treated in anoperation that placed several tiny screws across the bone, to offer his overburdened foot more support. The surgery was a success, and though thee stimated four-month recovery period will leave him little time to prepare with Team China. Yao has vowed to be ready for the Beijing Olympics.
Yao wrapped up a 10-day trip to China, where he underwent a series of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments, hoping to accelerate his recovery process. Western experts are generally skeptical of TCM’ s benefits, although new research from the University of Rochestersuggests that a certain compound derived from shellfish may indeed stimulatebone repair.
“There is no reason to dismiss TCM, “Yao told a press conference in Beijing. “It’s been used in our country for thousands of years. I don’t think that it’ sshort on science.”

第三部分:概括大意与完成句子(第23――30题,每题1分,共8分)
Geothermal(地热)Energy
1. Since heat naturally moves from hotter regions tocooler ones, the heat from the earth's center flows outwards towards the surface。 In this way, it transfers to the next layer of rock。 If the temperatureis high enough, some of this rock melts and forms magma(岩浆)。 The magmaascends in its turn towards the earth's surface。 It often remains well below the earth's surface, creating vast areas of hot rock。 In such regions, there are deep cracks, which allow rainwater to descend underground。 Some of the heatedrain water travels back up to the earth's surface where it will appear as a hot spring。 However, if this ascending hot water reaches a layer of impermeable(不可渗透的)rock, it remains trapped, forming a geothermal reservoir。 If geothermalreservoirs are close enough to the surface, they can be reached by drilling wells。 Hot water and steam shoot up the wells naturally, and can be used to produce electricity in geothermalpower plants。
2.A few geothermal power plants depend on dry-stemreservoirs which produce steam but little or no water。 In these cases, the steam is pipedup directly to provide the power to spin a turbine generator。 The first geothermalpower plant, constructed at Lardarello in Italy, was of this type, and is stillproducing electricity today。
3.Most currently operating geothermal power plants areeither ”flash“ steam plants or binary(双重的)plants。 Flash plants produce mainly hot water ranging intemperature from 300° to 700°Fahrenheit。 This water is passed through one or two separators wherereleased from the pressure of the underground reservoir, it”flashes“ or boils into steam Again, the force of this steam provides the energy to spin theturbine and produce electricity。 The geothermal water and steam are then reinjecteddirectly back down into the earth to maintain the volume and pressure of thereservoir。 Gradually they will be reheated and can then be usedagain。
4.A reservoir with temperatures below 300° Fahrenheit is nothot enough to flash steam but it can still be used to generate electricity inbinary fluid。 The steam from this is used to power the turbines。 As in the flash steam plant, the geothermal water is recycled back into the reservoir。
23.Paragraph 1 ____
答案:E
24.Paragraph 2____
答案:F
25.Paragraph 3____
答案:C
26.Paragraph 4____
答案:B
A. Recyclable water and steam
B. Binary plants
C. Flash steam plants
D. Generation of electricity
E. Origin of geothermal energy
F. Dry steam plants
27. A geothermal reservoir is formed when hot water is trapped under ____.
答案:B
28. A dry-steam reservoir produces steam with ___.
答案:C
29. Flash plants produce hot water through ___.
答案:E
30. In a binary plant, the heat of the geothermal water can be converted into ____.
答案:F
A. hot springs
B. impermeable rock
C. little or no water
D. turbine operator
E. one or two separators
F. the energy to turn a turbine

篇9:职称英语试题理工类复习模拟题含答案
When We Are Asleep
Everyone dreams,but some people never recall their dreams,or do so very rarely. Other people always wake up with vivid recollections (记忆) of their dreams,though they forget them very quickly. In an average night of eight hours' sleep,an average adult will dream for around one hundred minutes,probably having three to five dreams,each lasting from ten to thirty minutes. Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which measures the electrical waves in the brain. During dreaming, these waves move more quickly. Breathing and pulse rate also increase,and there are rapid eye movements under the lids, just as though the dreamer were really looking at moving objects. These signs of dreaming have been detected in all mammals (哺 乳动物) studied, including dogs, monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles (爬行动物). This period of sleep is called the ”D“ state for around 50% of their sleep;the period reduces to around 25% by the age of 10.
Dreams take the form of stories,but they may be strange and with incidents not connected,which make little sense. Dreams are seldom without people in them and they are usually about people we know. One estimate says that two-thirds of the ”cast“ of our dream dramas are friends and relations. Vision seems an essential part of dreams,except for people blind from birth. Sound and touch are senses also often aroused,but smell and taste are not frequently involved. In ”normal“ dreams,the dreamer may be taking part,or be only an observer. But he or she cannot control what happens in the dream.
However, the dreamer does have control over one type of dream. This type of dream is called a ”lucid“(清醒的) dream. Not everyone is a lucid dreamer. Some people are occasional lucid dreamers. Others can dream lucidly more or less all the time. In a lucid dream,the dreamer knows that he is dreaming.
16.Some people dream but cannot remember their dreams.

It's in the Cards
In recent years, more and more people have been paying for things with credit cards. There are now 565 million credit cards worldwide, but it doesn't stop there. Debit cards (电子记账卡) are being issued by banks, and store cards are being offered by many department stores. Bills and coins are gradually being replaced by ”plastic money.“ In many countries, phone cards have been introduced for people to use in pay phones. In addition, cards made of paper are being replaced by plastic ones by many organizations and clubs. For example, if you belong to a sports club, your membership card may well be made of plastic.
How safe is the plastic used to make these cards, though? Until now, most cards have been made from a plastic called PVC. While PVC is being produced, harmful chemicals are released into the atmosphere. One of the most dangerous chemicals that is released is dioxin, which is known to cause cancer in humans. A further problem is that, when a PVC card is thrown away, it is not biodegradable; this means that it does not ”break down“ and cannot be recycled. Obviously, recycling reduces pollution of the environment.
The executive director of the environmental organization and charity Greenpeace, Peter Melchett, says, ”If there is a solution to this - and an alternative then it would be madness not to use it.“ Greenpeace has found a solution and an alternative. Their new credit card is made entirely from a biodegradable plastic that uses plants. The card breaks down in around three months in soil; in this way, it is recycled. In contrast, a PVC card lasts for centuries Greenpeace hopes that many organizations will soon follow their example and issue cards that do not threaten the public health.

The First settlement in North America
It is very difficult to say just when colonization began. The first hundred years after Christopher Columbus's journey of discovery in 1492 did not produce any settlement on the North America continent but rather some Spanish trading posts further south, a great interest in gold and adventure, and some colorful crimes in which the English had their part. John Cabot, originally from Genoa but a citizen of Venice, was established as a trader in Bristol, England, when he made a journey in 1497. But his ship, the Matthew, with its crew of eighteen, did no more than see an island (probably off the New England coast) and return home. He and his son made further voyages across the north Atlantic which enabled the English crown to claim a ”legal" title to North America. But for a long time afterwards the Europeans' interest in America was mainly confined to the Spanish activities further south.
The first beginning of permanent settlement in North America were nearly a hundred years after Columbus's first voyage. The Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh claimed the whole of North America for England, calling it Virginia. In 1585 he sent a small group of people who landed in Roanoke Island, but they stayed only for a year and then went back to England with another expedition, led by Drake, in 1587. A second group who landed in 1587 had all disappeared when a further expedition arrived in 1590.
The first permanent settlement in North America was in 1607. English capitalists founded two Virginia companies, a southern one based in London and a northern one based in Bristol. It was decided to give the name New England to the northern area. The first settlers in Virginia were little more than wage slaves to the company. All were men and the experiment was not very successful. Many died. Those who survived lived in miserable conditions. By 1610 the colony had only a thousand people.
