All the experts came to look at the painting. Each one said it was beautiful and had a very deep meaning.

He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practiced sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.28. According to the passage, Elias Howe was_.A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep- 6 -B. much more hard-working than other inventorsC. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams29. The problem Howe was trying to solve was_.A. what kind of thread to useB. how to design a needle which would not breakC. where to put the needleD. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle30. Thomas Edison is spoken of because_.A. he also tried to invent a sewing machineB. he got some of his ideas from dreamsC. he was one of Howes best friendsD. he also had difficulty in falling asleep31. Dreams are sometimes called” secret messages to ourselves” because_.A. strange images are used to communicate ideasB. images which have no meaning are usedC. we can never understand the real meaningD. only specially trained people can understand themDIn 1977, a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a 19-month-old baby in a most unusual way. The author was Agatha Christie, one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world. In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia. Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness with confidence, so she was sent to Hammersmith Hospital in London. She was then only semi-conscious and on the “Dangerously Ill“ list. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were confused by the very unusual symptoms (症状). While they were discussing the baby's case, a nurse asked to speak to them. “Excuse me,“ said Nurse Marsha Maitlan, “but I think the baby is suffering from thallium (铊) poisoning.“ - 7 -“What makes you think that?“ Dr. Brown asked. “Thallium poisoning is extremely rare.“ “A few days ago, I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie,“ Nurse Maitlan explained. “In the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are described. They're exactly the same as the baby's.“ “You're very thoughtful and you may be right,“ another doctor said. “We'll carry out some tests and find out whether it's thallium or not.“ Tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making special glass. Once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar. Later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide (杀虫剂) used in Qatar. 32. The one who first suggested the correct cause of the baby's illness was _. A. a doctor in Qatar B. Nurse Maitlan C. Dr. Brown D. Agatha Christie 33. The baby was sent to London because _. A. she was born there B. the hospitals in Qatar were full at that time C. she was the daughter of a doctor in London D. the Qatar doctors were not sure whether they could cure her 34. As far as we can tell from the passage, Agatha Christie _. A. had never met this baby B. had spent a long time studying the baby's case C. visited the baby in the hospital at Hammersmith D. gave Nurse Maitlan some advice on the phone 35. It seems likely from the passage that the baby's illness had something to do with _. A. a dangerous pair of glasses B. the water in Qatar C. a harmful substance used to kill insects D. a dead writer - 8 -第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 36 The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. 37 So they are called diseases of civilization. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases. Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 38 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today. Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 39 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C 40 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way as our ancestors did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food. A. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times. B. People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did. C. Ancient people also lived in large groups.D. But today, we eat a lot of these. E. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise.F. In that case, they would live much healthier. - 9 -G. People today probably live the same life as people thousands of years ago. -第三部分第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分英语知识运用（共两节，满分 4545 分）分）第一节 完型填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.
