A

Margaret Ann Bulkley was born around 1789,  in Ireland. She had big dreams. “I want

to be  a doctor!”  But two  hundred  years ago  a girl  couldn’t become  a doctor.  Her uncle,

James Barry, was  a great painter. And  his friend General Miranda  had a library with more

than 6,000 books. Margaret loved reading there. Her intelligence impressed him. Years later,

her uncle James Barry died, leaving her some money. It was enough to study to be a doctor.

“But a girl can’t become a doctor,” said Margaret sadly.

“Yes, you  can!” said General  Miranda. “All  you have to  do is to  disguise as  a boy.”

Margaret really wanted to  be a doctor. So she cut  off her long hair, practiced  speaking in a

deep voice, and put on boy’s clothes. She also named herself James Barry.

From  then  on,  Margaret  Ann  Bulkley disappeared.  She  became  James  Barry  and

entered  Edinburgh University.  He  took 13  subjects  and worked  all  through the  summer

when the other students went on holiday.

conditions for not only  wounded soldiers but also the  local people, and performed the  first

for over fifty years was only known after his death in 1865.

Do Dogs  Dream?

Unlike cartoon  images,  real dogs  don’t speak  and describe  their sleep.  So you  may

wonder: do dogs dream like their owners?

A scientific research conducted at  MIT found that during sleep,  brains of humans and

dogs function in a  similar manner. When you or your dog  first falls asleep, you experience

SWS—slow wave sleep—when the brain waves are slow but muscles are still  active. Later,

a deeper stage of sleep occurs. This stage is called REM sleep—rapid eye movements sleep.

During REM,  muscles are  more  relaxed but  the mind  is more  active. It  was proved  that

both humans and  dogs experience these two  stages of the sleep cycle.  Since we know that

humans dream, it is safe to conclude that dogs dream too.

Scientists found  that  as a  dog  falls asleep,  his breathing  becomes  deeper and  more

regular.After  about  20 minutes  in  REM  sleep,  dreams  usually begin  for  average  dogs.

While dreaming, the dog’s breathing may become shallow and irregular, and  his eyes move

about behind  the  closed lids(眼睑)  as if  the dog  is  looking at  something. By  comparing

高一英语第 4页共    9页

brain wave  patterns, researchers  suggested that  during REM,  dogs are  visualizing (呈现)

dream images much like humans do during this stage of sleep.

Besides, it’s  also  found that  during REM,  the sleeping  brain  functions much  like it

does  when awake,  so  both  man  and dogs  dream  about  things that  happen  during  their

waking hours. Information gathered during the day is processed at night and may be  relived

in dreams. So your dog may “sleep run” as he runs after a cat or fetches a ball.

Studies  also show  that  some dogs  dream  more than  others,  and  the frequency  and

length  of  dreams are  different  according  to  the  age and  sizes  of  dogs.  Young  puppies

usually  experience  more  dreams  than  adult  dogs.  One  possible  reason  is  that  puppies

acquire huge amounts of new information  daily and have much to process at night. Among

dogs of the same age, smaller dogs seem to have more dreams  than their bigger friends, but

their dreams may last shorter. Dream length and frequency are also related to the amount of

sleep required. A dog that has an active day outside may sleep more soundly than usual and

experience longer periods of REM sleep, giving him more time to dream.

37. What happens to dogs during REM sleep?

A. Their dreams take place.

C. Their muscles stay active.

B. Their brain waves are slow.

D. Their mind is more relaxed.

38. While dreaming, the dog ___________________ .

A. breathes regularly

C. opens the lids

B. visualizes images

D. gathers information

39. What does the underlined word “relived” probably  mean?

B. Repaired.

A.Removed.

C.Reviewed.

D. Reduced.

40. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Why dogs dream like humans.

B. What bigger dogs dream about.

C. Why young puppies have more dreams.

D. What causes the differences of dogs’  dreams.

C

What exactly is intelligence? There  aren’t any easy answers. Despite the progress that

has been  made  in genetics  and psychology,  human  intelligence has  remained one  of the

most controversial (有争议的) areas of modern science, until now, that is, for the discovery

of a gene (基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.

Robert Plomin  of the Institute  of Psychiatry in  London and  his colleagues in  the US

have been  looking into genetic make-up.  From their research,  they have discovered  that a

slightly different  gene  is more  common in  those with  a high  IQ.  Plomin analyzed  DNA

from two  groups of 51  children aged between  6 and 15.  What he found  was that the  first

group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group

高一英语第 5页共    9页

had an  average IQ of  103. An analysis  of their genes  showed that 32%  of children in  the

higher group had  the gene in question, while  only 16% in the second  group did. However,

there is a  lot more research  to be done,  and Plomin himself is  cautious at this early  stage.

He suggests that  there are probably many  genes that contribute  to intelligence, rather than

just one.

Several  studies have  shown a  strong  link between  IQ  and career  success,  although

some psychologists remain doubtful about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a

book called  Genius Explained,  is one  of these.  “The people with  the highest  IQs are  not

usually the ones who do best in their careers.”

Many  psychologists   now   believe  that   when  it   comes  to   intelligence,   IQ  isn’t

everything. Many  alternative  views have  been put  forward  recently. One  example is  the

idea of multiple  intelligences, which was  developed in the 1980s  by Harvard psychologist

Howard Gardner. This  offers a much broader  view than the IQ theory,  including creativity

and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence.

Tony Buzan,  brain  expert  and author  of  Master your  Memory,  is interested  in  this

belief, arguing that  true geniuses do  indeed appear to combine  high levels of each  type of

intelligence. He lists  Alexander the Great, Pablo  Picasso and Albert Einstein  as examples.

At the same time, Buzan  believes that everyone can develop their  intelligence, only if they

take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there’s hope for us all!

41. What is the topic of the passage?

A. The relationship between genes and intelligence.

B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.

C. What makes intelligence.

D. How to develop intelligence.

42. Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?

A. To make a suggestion.

C. To give an example.

B. To draw a conclusion.

D. To prove an idea.

43. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Robert Plomin discovers genes have something in common.

B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.

C. Michael Rowe agrees to a strong link between IQ and career.

D. Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.

44. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The idea of multiple intelligences.

B. The development of intelligence.

C. IQ isn’t everything for intelligence.

D. Alternative views have been put forward.

The dinner  party is disappearing according  to an article  in The New  York Times.

“How can this be?”  You might wonder. Don’t we meet with  friends to taste food in the

hottest restaurants? Aren’t we  invited by friends to enjoy  home-cooked meals? And we

throw parties for friends on special occasions, don’t we?

45

It is more  formal and usually hosted  in one’s home. Invitations are  sent

out ahead and hosts prepare food with great care. A  beautiful tablecloth is spread out on

the dinner table, which is then set with expensive cutlery (餐具). Guests dress up for the

occasion and are expected to carry on a conversation at the table.

46

Is it because people are too busy to cook for others and then invite them to the table?

Perhaps, but  there are many  food lovers  nowadays, and TV  programs teaching people

how to cook are very popular.                  According to Judith Martin, a US writer, people

have been brought  up to express  themselves rather than  to exchange ideas. They  don’t

know how  to share  their experiences  and  feelings with  others in  a proper  way.

47

48

In her opinion,  its influence has been  harmful to human communication. “People  don’t

even respond to dinner invitation anymore,” she said. “Not only do they cancel at the last

minute, they do it by text message.”

Things  have  changed  a lot  today.  Perhaps  the  dinner  party  has  just become  a

different kind  of thing. However,  it needs only  be more than  some food, a  table and a

location.

49

Even if we are using ordinary plates and are not wearing party dresses,

we can still enjoy food and share our ideas of life, love and culture, can’t we?

A. The age of great hosts is dead with the change of people’s lifestyles.

B. In fact the dinner party the writer worries about disappearing is another kind.

C. The real problem is that people don’t know how to make conversation anymore.

D. They know exactly which guests to invite so that they can share their favourite food.

E. The culture of the dinner party is not necessarily based on money and social influence.

F. Yet nowadays, people prefer to eat takeout food on sofa while playing on mobile

phones.

G. She also expresses dissatisfaction with electronic equipment.

Lillian Hanson, a college junior, expects  to graduate in about two years. Mrs. Hanson,

a  rather unusual  student, plans  to go  on  to take  more courses  after  she gets  her degree.

What makes Mrs. Hanson different from most of her classmates?

What sets  Lillian Hanson  apart from the  college crowd  is her age-73  years. She  has

been going to college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.

When Mrs. Hanson graduated from  high school, she went to her local  bank and asked

for a  loan for college  tuition and fees.  The banker  gave her no  encouragement. He didn’t

think  that a  country  girl  should be  borrowing  money  to go  to  college.  He thought  she

should be home  doing work in  the house or around  the farm. So  Mrs. Hanson went home

and raised  a  family of  nine children  instead of  going to  college.  She still  lives with  her

husband on the farm that has been in the family for five generations.

Mrs. Hanson never forgot her  dream of getting a higher education. When  her children

were grown up, she tried again.

She finds the  hardest part of going  back to school  at her age to  be sitting in class  for

long periods of  time. Because she is not  able to move as  quickly and easily as  she used to

be, Mrs. Hanson often gets up and walks around between classes to keep from getting rigid.

At the beginning  of a course in using  the computer, the other  students all stood up  to give

Mrs. Hanson  big applause  when she introduced  herself and  explained why she  was there

and what her goals were.

50. What makes Lillian Hanson different from most of her classmates? (不多于2个单词)

51. Why did the banker refuse to provide a loan for Lillian Hanson? (不多于16个单词)
