G.The following are some necessary skills.
27、 Let us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either.
All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.
So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping(feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc. )and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.
To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling his hand gently!
There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.
【1】From the passage we know that our dreams_____.
A. are imagination of our daily life
B. are man’s curious look into the future
C. have nothing to do with our feelings
D. are to some degree connected with our feelings
【2】In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates(暗示)that______.
A. you are in a state of being cold
B. you are in a state of being tired
C. you are in a state of hunger
D. you should have had your dinner that day
【3】Older children often dream of examinations probably because_______.
A. they are interested in exams
B. they are often worried about their studies
C. they hope for better life
D. they show much interest in their studies
【4】Some scientists’ explanation of dreams _______.
A. is not widely accepted though a bit reasonable
B. gives an exact description of our life
C. provides us with information of dreams
D. is of no use for us
28、 How do you make a restaurant business an overnight success at the age of 52? Ray Kroc said, “I was an overnight success, but 30 years is a long, long night.”
In 1917, 15-year-old Ray Kroc lied about his age to join the Red Cross as an ambulance driver in World War Ⅰ, but the war ended before he completed his training. He then worked as a piano player, and a paper cup salesman. In 1954, he visited restaurant in San Bernardino, California. There he found the small but successful restaurant run by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, and was surprised by their effective (有效的) operation. The McDonald’s brothers produced a limited menu, concentrating on just few items—burgers, fries and drinks—which allowed them to focus on quality and quick service.
They were looking for new franchising agent (特许经销商) and Kroc saw chance. In 1955, he founded McDonald’s System, Inc. By 1958, MeDonald’s had sold its 100 millionth hamburger.
In 1961, Kroc started a training program later called Hamburger University, at a new McDonald’s restaurant in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. There, franchisees (特许证持有人) were trained on the proper methods for running successful McDonald’s’ restaurant. Hamburger University used a research and development laboratory to develop new cooking, freezing, storing and serving methods. Today, more than 275,000 franchisees, managers, and employees have graduated from the program.
Right up until he died on January 14, 1984, Ray Kroc never stopped working for McDonald’s. His legacy provides McDonald’s customers with great tasty, inexpensive food; staff and franchisees with chances for growth; and suppliers with a shared promise to provide the highest quality food.
【1】What does Ray Kroc mean by the underlined sentence?
A.He waited 30 years to be a franchisee.
B.He experienced a lot before he succeeded.
C.It took long preparation to open the restaurant.
D.He felt happy for the past 30 years.
【2】Why was the operation of Dick and Mac McDonald effective?
A.They focused on a limited menu.
B.They considered quality important.
C.Their restaurant was run by two people.
D.Their restaurant had well-trained employees.
【3】When did Kroc start a training program?
A.In 1955. B.In 1956. C.In 1961. D.In1984.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.The Story of Ray Kroc B.McDonald’s’Restaurant
C.Tricks of Running a Business D.New Franchising Agents
29、The heavy use of fossil fuels over the last 150 years has caused the Earth to warm up. That pattern will continue and get worse unless we stop the pollution very, very quickly. And even if we do end fossil fuel use, there’s still way too much of a polluting gas called “carbon dioxide”(CO2)in our atmosphere. Recent reports by scientists make it clear that this CO2 must be removed from the atmosphere and stored.
Plants and trees do this naturally. But there’s so much CO2 in the atmosphere that planting trees and protecting forests won’t come close to solving the problem. That means humans need to come up with ways of removing carbon from the air and storing it. This is called Direct Air Capture(DAC).
Last September, the world’s largest carbon capture factory opened in Iceland. Called Orca, the project is run by Climeworks, which works on capturing the CO2. Experts say that by 2030, we need to be able to remove 85 million metric tons of CO2 from the air. It would take 1, 000 factories like Orca over 20 years to remove that much. Factories that can remove even more CO2 are being planned, but it will take time for them to be built.
Until recently, scientists working on capturing carbon had a hard time finding support for their research. Now, because of the crisis, there are many scientists working on the problem, and many companies willing to pay for it. Governments worldwide have promised nearly $4 billion to develop carbon capture methods and factories.
Some people worry that there’s not enough time left for DAC technology to be developed and become powerful enough to make a big difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions, like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
【1】What is Direct Air Capture(DAC)?
A.Recycling polluting gases in the air.
B.Removing and store carbon dioxide.
C.Storing carbon dioxide underground.
D.Getting rid of carbon dioxide directly.
【2】What does the writer intend to show in third paragraph?
A.1,000 factories will have been built by 2030.
B.Iceland will build more carbon capture plants.
C.There’s a very long way to go to achieve the goal.
D.Carbon capture factories have made huge progress.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A.We will end fossil fuel use from now on.
B.Plants and trees can absorb CO2 naturally.
C.Governments have spent amounts of money on CO2.
D.Removing carbon dioxide from the air is challenging.
【4】What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.Not everyone is excited about carbon removal.
B.DAC technology should he developed quickly.
C.Renewable energy is enough for people to use.
D.More attention should be paid to climate actions.

The Safe (保险箱)
----- A Rich Man Finds the Best Way to be Truly Rich
Once upon a time, a rich man hired a great mathematician (数学家) to find him a way to make him more money. The rich man was so g【1】 that he even built a giant safe and his dream was to fill it with gold and jewels.
The mathematician worked on the problem for months. One night he said to the rich man “I’ve done it! My idea is perfect!

When the rich man returned, he found that all of his wealth was gone. Very angry, he asked the mathematician to explain. The mathematician told him he’d g【4】 everything away to people in the neighborhood.
The mathematician said “There is a limit to how much wealth one can get by himself. Then I realized that many people could help us a【5】 our goal. By helping o【6】, you could gain the most!”
