题型:不详难度:来源:
When I was in high school, I had a recurring(反复的) dream of my teeth falling out. I dreamt about my teeth just about every night for at least three weeks. Sometimes they would fall out one at a time, sometimes all at once. I became terrified that my dreams meant I would actually lose my teeth. Nine years later and about a million trips to the dreams, I still have a full set of teeth, but I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well.
Miller says losing teeth indicates burdens that crush your pride. If your teeth are knocked out, you’ll have sudden misfortune. Other explanations for dreams about lost teeth are that the dreamer is feeling powerless in life and may be in a transitional(过度的) period from one situation of life to another. Some experts believe that dreams of losing teeth today show we’re just as insecure and uncertain as we were in childhood.
When I dreamt about my teeth back in high school, I was trying to choose a college— a stressful decision. The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate.
A little of stress in our everyday lives is normal. But sometimes it becomes such a regular occurrence in our lives that it influences our dreams and causes us to lose valuable sleep. Understanding our dreams is key to identifying and ending stress in our waking hours and restoring peace to our nighttime hours.

A.They will have sudden misfortune.

C.They are as insecure and uncertain as they were in childhood

57.How many different kinds of explanations are mentioned in the text about losing teeth?
A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five
58.The underlined expression “rolled around” means_______
A.came about B.came down C.came near D.rolled out

A.Our dream can reflect what we go through in our real life.
B.Dreams can damage our valuable sleep.
C.We only dream when we are under great pressure.
D.Our dreams can show us what will happen in the future.
60.The author wrote the passage to tell us that______.

B.He tried to explain why we dream.
C.Different people have different dreams
D.It is important for us to understand the meaning of our dreams
答案
56---60 DCCAD
解析
56.答案:D解析:本题为细节理解题。宜用排除法确定答案。文章作者多次提到做此梦时候在现实的生活中经常的面对压力。而ABC三项的观点片面甚至有些唯心。
57.答案:C解析:本题为细节题。根据文章的第一、二段可以得出文章共有四种梦中掉牙的不同解释。
58.答案:C解析:本题为词义猜测题。由第三段The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate.一句可知“四年后当大学即将毕业时,这个梦又重新出现了”预示着作者面临着毕业后的就业的压力。所以此处的rolled around意思是“即将到来”。
59.答案A解析:本题为推理判断题。要求学生通过全文得出合理的结论。根据第一段“I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well”可以推断出“我们的梦是现实生活经历的反映”的表述符合题意。其他的选项不符合题***要求。
60.答案:D解析:本题为主旨大意题。要求学生通过研读全文信息,判断作者的写作意图。总观本文,可以看出这篇文章是对“梦中掉牙”的梦的不同的观点。对梦有一个正确的看法对我们来说是非常重要的。

Work is a very important part of life in the United States. When the early Protestant immigrants(新教徒移民) came to this country, they brought the idea that work was the way to God and heaven. This attitude, the Protestant Work Ethic(道德规范), still influences America today. Work is not only important for economic benefits, the salary, but also for social and psychological need, the feeling of doing something for the good of the society. Americans spend most of their lives working, being productive. For most Americans, their work defines them: they are what they do. What happens then, when a person can no longer work? Almost all Americans stop working at age sixty-five or seventy and retire. Because work is such an important part of life in this culture, retirement can be very difficult. Retirees often feel that they are useless and unproductive. Of course, _______________; but leaving one’s job, whatever it is, is a difficult change, even for those who look forward to retiring. Many retirees do not know how to use their time or they feel lost without their jobs.
Retirements can also bring financial problems. Many people rely on Social Security checks every month. During their working years, employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government. Each employer also gives a certain percentage to the government. When people retire, they receive this money as income. These checks do not provide enough money to live on, however, because prices are increasing very rapidly. Senior citizens, those over sixty-five, have to have savings in the bank or other retirement plans to make ends meet. The rate of inflation(通货膨胀) is forcing prices higher each year. Social Security checks alone cannot cover these growing expenses. The government offers some assistance, Medicare and welfare, but many senior citizens have to change their life styles after retirement. They have top spend carefully to be sure that they can afford to buy food, fuel and other necessities.
American society is only beginning to be concerned about the special physical and emotional needs of its senior citizens. The government is taking steps to ease the problem of limited income. They are building new housing, offering discounts in stores and museums and on buses, and providing other services such as free courses, food service, and help with housework.
