Top islands in the Mediterranean
Desiring a sun-and –sea summer holiday destination where you can also party the night away? Travel website TripAdvisor has come up with a list of the top islands in the Mediterranean sea. “All of these islands offer pristine (原始的) beaches and their own unique features,” said TripAdvisor spokeswoman Michele Perry. “Our travelers have identified the hot islands in the Med this summer, especially if you want sun, sea and dancing all night”.
Cyprus, Republic of Cyprus
Visit Aphrodite’s birthplace in the eastern Mediterranean. Beaches are the draw for many visitors to the island, but so is the nocturnal (夜间的) activity with Ayia Napa being the town to party in.

Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain
Visit the party capital of Ibiza and feel honoured by joining thousands of revelers(狂欢者) at Privilege, the largest club in the world. Besides the vast nightlife, check out one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as God’s Finger, a large rock at the entrance of Benirras Bay.
Sicily, Italy
The largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily has the three Cs—culture, cuisine and calm. Laden with orange and lemon orchards, the countryside boasts natural beauty, great for relaxing. One

Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed different ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud published a book called The Interpretation of Dreams in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but cannot have. These dreams are often linked to sex and aggression.
For Freud, dreams were full of hidden meaning. He tried to understand dreams as a way to understand people and why they acted or thought in certain ways. Freud believed that every thought
and every action started deep in our brains. He thought dreams could be an important way to understand what is happening in our brains.Freud told people what their dreams meant as a way of helping them solve problems or understand their worries. For example, Freud said when people dream of flying or swinging, they want to be free of their childhood. When a person dreams that a brother or sister or parent has died, the dreamer is really hiding feelings of hatred for that person. Or a desire to have what the other person has.
Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years. But he developed very different ideas about dreams. Jung believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake.
He also believed dreams tell us something about ourselves and our relations with other people. He did not believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression.
68.According to the passage, Sigmund Freud held that ________________.
A.dreams can help understand people’s action
B.when people dream that they fly in the sky, they are actually desire something
C.if a person dreams that a brother has died, he or she must hates the brother
D.if people want to better understand themselves, they will dream
69. What is Carl Jung’s opinion of dreams?
A. His dreams are different from those of Sigmund Freud.
B. Whenever we face problems, we can find solutions to them in our dreams.
C. Dreams help understand people’s thoughts.
D. Dreams at times show our relations with other people.
70. From the passage, we learn that ______________________.
A. The Interpretation of Dreams was written by Freud as well as Jung
B. Freud helped people solve problems by telling what their dreams meant
C. Freud and Jung always worked together
D. both of them told us clearly why we dream
The author seems to be ___________.

The beat generation mainly referred to the youth who were born and brought up around the Second World War. They showed their ignorance of almost everything traditional, such as government authority ,respect for parents, one’s duty, moral standards, and traditional customs. They developed a kind of absolute individualism and liberty. They preferred long hair, mini dresses or close fitting clothes to show off the figure. They advocated （倡导）freedom of sex and cohabitation (同居).Their influence could be seen from the fact that about one third of the American couples living together were not married by law. And the divorce rate was very high. The endless U.S wars abroad and sharp class struggle at home caused many American youths to develop a kind of cynicism. They doubted the existing social system, possibility of harmonious human relations, and the long honored standard for correct behavior. They felt society overlooked their needs. Therefore, they refused to do any duty that was required of them by society. They declared “Don’t believe anyone over thirty.” All this came from the sick society. It’s wrong to imagine they all fought against capitalism in support of revolutionary things. Some of their ideas were even more decadent (颓废的)and impractical. It was an abnormal phenomenon in an abnormal society.
72.Based on the passage, how many of one hundred and twenty American couples of the beat
generation practiced cohabitation?
A. about 20 couples. B. about 30 couples.
C. about 60 couples. D. about 40 couples.
73.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The beat generation’s refused to do any duty.
B. The beat generation was in support of almost everything traditional.
C. The beat generation believes no one except that he is over thirty.
D. The beat generation’s ideas were not impractical.
74.“Cynicism” in this passage most probably means____.
A. a state of mind against realism
B. a state of mind doubting everything in existence
C. a theory advocating mutual help
D. a theory advocating individualism
75..This passage is mainly about ____.
A. the young Americans
B. the generation gap
C. the education of the young
D. an American social phenomenon
In recent years many countries have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts believe that the answer is to make jobs more varied. Do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is something to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker"s life more enjoyable, it does not make him work harder. So variety is not important.
Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is very little that can be done to achieve this.
Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are said to be experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem then that the degree of worker contribution is important.
To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important, but perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if companies succeed i
n making workers" jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.72. Which of the following things will not increase productivity?
A. Making jobs more varied.
B. Longer working hours.
C. Giving workers the freedom to do his jobs in their own way.
D. Increasing the workers" contribution to production.
73. The last sentence in this passage means that if companies manage to make workers" jobs more interesting, _________.
A. they will want more money
B. they will demand shorter working hours
C. more money and shorter working hours are important
D. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them
74. In this passage, the writer tells us _________.
A. how t
o make the workers more productive B. possible factors leading to greater productivity
C. more money leads to greater productivity
D. how to make workers" jobs more interesting
75. The writer of this passage is probably a _____________.
A. teacher B. worker C. manager D. physics
