A
Lie in bed, with an open window, and listen...
“No air conditioning? How can you sleep?” a friend asks, surprised. I tell her my family has decided to turn off the conditioner(空调)and reduce our electric bill.
On this first night of our cost-cutting adventure, it’s only 38℃. We’re not going to suffer, but the three kids complain anyway. They’ve grown up in 26℃comfort, protected from the world outside.
“It’s too hot to sleep,” my 13-year-old daughter complains.“I’m about to die from this heat.” her brother complains as well. “Just try it tonight.” I tell them. In fact, I’m too tired to argue for long. My face is sweaty(汗湿了的), but I lie quietly listening to the cricket choirs(合唱) outside that remind me of my childhood.
The neighbor’s dog barks. It’s been years since I’ve taken the time to really listen to the night.
I think about Grandma. In my childhood, I used to live in the summer heat. I would move my pillow(枕头) to the foot of Grandma’s bed and turn my face toward the open window, looking for the cooler side. Grandma saw me turn over and over. “If there is soft wind,” she said, “you’ll cool off and fall asleep.” She lifted the Venetian blinds(百叶窗).I stare at the white curtain(窗帘), waiting for it to move and waiting for the soft wind. Suddenly, I noticed the life outside the window, cricket choirs, neighbors’ dogs, and all these sounds made me calm.
“Mom, did you hear that?” my seven-year-old son cries, “I think it was an owl(猫头鹰)family.”“Probably,” I tell him, “just keep listening...”
Without the working air conditioner, the house is peaceful, and the unfiltered(未过滤的) night noises seem close enough to touch. I hope I’m awake tonight when the first soft wind comes in. ( )51．What is the write trying to express in the passage? A．We should learn to save electricity.
B．A peaceful mind is important in modern life.
C．The outside world matters more than one’s inner world. D．Modern men live too comfortable a life.
( )52．The author talks about her grandmother and her childhood to show that . A．people used to live a very hard life B．people at that time were hardworking C．she has learned a lot from her grandma D．it’s OK for people to live a simple life

C．Life at present and life in the past D．Different times, different children
B Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. 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 thesimple 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”.
( ) 54. According to the passage, Elias Howe was________. A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep B. much more hard-working than other inventors
C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams ( ) 55.The problem Howe was trying to solve was________. A. what kind of thread to use
B. how to design a needle which would not break C. where to put the needle
D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle ( ) 56.Thomas Edison is spoken of because________. A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine B. he got some of his ideas from dreams C. he was one of Howe’s best friends D. he also had difficulty in falling asleep
( ) 57. Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because___. A. strange images are used to communicate ideas B. images which have no meaning are used C. we can never understand the real meaning D. only specially trained people can understand them

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember
a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank . You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition (眼睛识别) program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology (技术) However, scientists are also working on other systems(系统) . Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger. Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programs may only be right 51% of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile! ( ) 58. How does the eye-recognition program work? A. You write your number. B. You show your ID card. C.

I’ve been living in China for a while—long enough to feel the long-term deterioration(退化)of my own native language ability, as well as those of my fellow English speakers. This deterioration can take different forms, one of which is the non-standard use of the words. Below I give some of the common ways to show how Chinese environment badly influences the native speaker’s language ability.
Net bar: In Chinese, they’re called “网吧”. This is fine. We generally call them “Internet café” in English. The Chinese seem to think that “网吧” should be translated as “net bar” in English, and many careless foreigners have even been misled by this idea.
Name card: In the English-speaking word, business people have lots of business meetings to discuss business. In these situations, business people exchange specially printed pieces of paper known as business cards. In China, everyone calls them “name cards”, because in Chinese they are called “名片”and “name card” is a more direct translation.
Bean curd: It’s called “tofu,” OK! This English word comes from Chinese. I know all dictionaries sold in China will tell you “豆腐”is “bean curd” in English and that may represent the two characters nicely, but “bean cued” is more a definition(定义)than a comfortable translation. Yet many foreigners start “bean curd” instead of “tofu”. What a pity!
I think you see the pattern. The normal native way of saying something is replaced by a more unnatural way with other English words.
If you’ve been living in China for a while and find yourself using all of these, you might be on dangerous ground. You’re going to start making a fool of yourself back home. Look out! Don’t let Chinglish destroy your own knowledge of your mother language!
（ ）62．Which of the following expressions is more native to the writer? A．Bean curd B．Tofu C．Name card D．Net bar （ ）63．How does the writer support his main idea?
A．By description B．By examples C．By reasoning D．By explanation
（ ）64．What causes the non-standard use of the words by native English speakers? A．Chinese culture B．Chinese tradition
C．English custom D．Chinese polluted environment
（ ）65．Those Chinglish words come out because . A．they are generally accepted by native English speakers B．they are often misunderstood(误解) by Chinese speakers C．they sound reasonable to native English speakers D．they sound natural to some Chinese
