This Way to Dreamland

Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant,especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy.__ 【1】___They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.

But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history._2__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?

So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?

First,understand that some opportunities(機(jī)會(huì)) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams._3__ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming,try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple,like taking a shower or walking,or even making meaningless drawings.

It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”,being focused,is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__4____

Finally,you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.___5___

Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.

B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.

C. Without wandering minds,we wouldn’t have relativity,Coke or Post-it notes.

D. At one time,daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.

E. It involves slow,steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.

F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct,quite unlike sleep dreams,which may be hard to understand.

G. Therefore,it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】A

【4】E

【5】G

【解析】

試題分析:本文屬于說(shuō)明文,介紹了白日夢(mèng)的好處和壞處以及如何避免白日夢(mèng)消極影響的方法。

【1】B 考查邏輯關(guān)系。首先作者給出主題句“Daydreamers have a bad reputation”,后面用三個(gè)并列句給出做白日夢(mèng)者不好的方面,主語(yǔ)、詞義都相似,所以B正確。

【2】C 考查邏輯例證。本段轉(zhuǎn)折談做白日夢(mèng)的好處,“great ideas‖是關(guān)鍵詞,所以本空可以用例證說(shuō)明great ideas指什么。 故C正確。

【3】A 考查邏輯關(guān)系。本段開(kāi)篇提出做夢(mèng)的機(jī)會(huì)(opportunities),后面提出增加機(jī)會(huì)的方法,三句為并列關(guān)系,闡述做什么能夠幫助人更好地進(jìn)入daydream的狀態(tài),因此A選項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵詞also helps最為符合。

【4】E 考查邏輯關(guān)系。闡釋問(wèn)題和解決辦法。整段闡述如何做到―Mindfulness( being focused),與E選項(xiàng)中的self-control(stay calm and attentive)相匹配。所以選E。

【5】G 考查邏輯關(guān)系。闡釋問(wèn)題和解決辦法。段首提出“never know what wonderful idea might strike”,后面應(yīng)該提供具體的應(yīng)對(duì)策略,所以建議最好隨時(shí)把好的想法記錄下來(lái)。而記錄所需要的重要工具就是G選項(xiàng)中的notebook(筆記本)和voice recorder(錄音設(shè)備),G與前一句恰好形成因果關(guān)系,故本題選G。

Five Ways to Work Smarter, Not Harder

No matter how hard we work, it seems that there is never enough time to get all the important tasks done. Rather than working longer, consider working smarter, not harder. Here are some ways to work smarter:

Make a careful plan. Just like every organization needs a business plan, an efficient worker needs a work plan. 【1 Schedule your tasks throughout the days, weeks, and months, but do it ahead of time.

Set your goals. As a part of your work plan, you should set clear and measurable goals. Goals should state which tasks are to be completed and when they get completed. Rather than setting firm deadlines, which can lead to pressure and stress, allow a period of time to reach goals. 2

3 Develop a consistent daily work schedule and stick to it! If a typical workday consists of some writing tasks(emails, reports), one-on-one meetings, and processing data, set aside specific time each day to accomplish each kind of tasks.

Delegate(授權(quán))effectively. 4 The person who tries to do everything himself or herself not only is overloaded and overstressed, but is bad for their colleagues, by not allowing them to be challenged and grow by taking on important duties.

Don’t make work harder than it actually is. Much of the pressure is produced by ourselves. __5 We feel like we should do more. Remember that tasks should be completed step by step. Focus on each step rather than on the entire project, which can help us cut down on feelings that we are “overwhelmed”.

A. Stick to your plan.

B. We set unrealistic goals or standards for ourselves.

C. Also, take time to reward yourself for achieving a goal.

D. Organize your workday.

E. We cannot expect to complete the tasks quickly.

F. Learn which tasks can be delegated and which need personal attention.

G. It is a well-thought-out plan to help guide and direct work activities.

【題目】Mr William Shakespeare and the Internet

Explanation of Contents

This is the fourth edition of these pages. It is hard to believe, but once again they are new and improved. My motive in publishing these pages remains to help and stimulate others in Shakespeare studies, and especially those who might contribute their work to the Internet. The spirit of altruism (利他主義) that originally built the Internet is not quite gone, though, sadly, through the pressure of time and profit has lessened.

A major new addition to the pages is a Shakespeare Timeline, which is an online biography mounted at this site. The problems with searching for Shakespeare resources using the available Search Engines are:

---- It is difficult to focus most searches so that you get a manageable number of relevant hits;

---- It is impossible by simply reading an abstract(摘要) to make any distinction between the output of a Junior High School student and that of a professional researcher.

Another change in these pages over previous editions is the “What’s News” page. If you come away from these pages with the feeling that they are very useful but slightly pedantic (學(xué)究的), I will have realized my goal.

An Apology

I am continually apologizing to the many who have written me requesting revisions of the pages. We are all too busy. I simply have not had the time to dedicate to these pages that I wish. But I love the material and so have, at long last, made some time to update them.

A Reminder to Young StudentsThese pages contain the best links I can find to Shakespeare on the Internet. As a reminder, I would say I very much enjoy hearing from people who view and use these pages. If you want to do Shakespeare research using the web, this page is a great starting point, and I keep it as current as I can. The web is in its infancy(初期in bringing good, scholarly content to students. Don’t forget the best, if not quickest, resources are still in your library.

【1】The passage is written to ________.

A. introduce the fourth edition of these pages

B. make an apology to readers

C. show off these pages to readers

D. let Shakespeare researchers buy these pages

【2】When searching for Shakespeare resources using Search Engines, you ________.

A. can easily recognize what the abstract means

B. will waste some time in finding what you want

C. will often come into the “What’s News” pages

D. will find something special on your computers

【3】Which of the following can best conclude the last paragraph?

A. The writer will often read letters from those who use these pages.

B. The writer of the passage is very selfish.

C. The web was just created four years ago.

D. Shakespeare researchers should first of all refer to these pages.

【題目】While it’s wonderful to share a special trip with friends or family, traveling alone is another experience. 1

1. Meet new people.

People who are traveling alone seem more approachable to others. Before you know it, you could be chatting with some interesting folks at a sidewalk cafe or even joining a group of like-minded people on the beach. 2

2.Do everything you want and nothing you don’t want.

Have you ever been hesitant to do that half-day at the spa you are eager for because you feel bad leaving your travel partner with nothing to do? 3 If you want to “waste” the day sitting at an outdoor bar drinking a cocktail instead of sightseeing, you won’t have to answer anyone.

34

If traveling makes you a good, smart person, then traveling alone makes you better and smarter. Taking a trip by yourself might seem frightening. However, once you take the courage and get over your fears, you’ll feel a sense of energy. A successful single vacation can inspire you to try new things in life.

Great service.

For some reason, service at hotels and restaurants seems better when you’re traveling alone. 5 And it’s possible that when you make it known, you could be offered a better room or a free cocktail.

A.The key is to keep an open mind and keep safety in mind.

B.Travelling alone makes you truly listen to your inner thoughts.

C.When you travel alone, you don’t need to please anyone but yourself.

D.Here are four good reasons why you should try it.

E.It is refreshing.

F.Cheering up.

【題目】A Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies, creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.

An electromagnetic field(電磁場(chǎng)) will pull particles(微粒) in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.

“It’s like when you have a balloon which has static(靜電) and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,” says artist Daan Roosegaarde.

His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital’s parks.

With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog, Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.

Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results with the help of a team of scientists and engineers can be replicated(復(fù)制的) outside.

“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”

“We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”

Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem,rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.

“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles.”

However, he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement” by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.

【1】The device works by _______.

A. helping keep the particles out with more masks

B. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic field

C. absorbing hair with a balloon with static

D. creating clean air and let it out into the sky

【2】 According to the passage,_______ .

A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in Beijing

B. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoors

C. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectable

D. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution

【3】What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place... ”?

A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.

B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.

C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.

D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.

【4】Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.

A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally

B. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing

C. drive modern cars and try different lifestyles

D. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is
