【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 s provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist (藥理學家 ) and winner of a Nobel Prize. Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脈搏 ). A tremendous breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row. The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on paper. But the next morning, he couldn’t tell what the notes meant. On the third night, he got up after having the dream. This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the important experiment. Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it. Loewi’s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions. Nervous feelings are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view. Being able to take advantage of dreams for solving is improved if you “set” yourself before retiring. Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve. Bury yourself in the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information. Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams. Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure. About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem. 32. The main idea of this passage is that _________. A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreams B. it is possible to“catch”one’s dreams by planning before going to sleep C. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one’s problems D. Loewi’s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses 33. The first paragraph is mainly anized by _________. A. classifying types of experiments B. summarizing the work of one researcher C. paring and exploring historical cases D. telling in time order about one man’s research 34. If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have _________. A. asked someone else to do it B. thought it was a bad idea C. tried it out on his own D. thought it was a wise idea 35. The author probably thinks that _________. A. nervous feelings may stop someone thinking of useful ideas B. dreaming is of very little value to most people C. Loewi should not have conducted his experiment D. college students should not try out dream experiments 第二節(jié) （共 5小題，每小題 2分，滿分 10 分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。 There a few key tips will help you effectively present your work and your ideas in the professional world. 1. 36 Probably the most important aspect of a presentation is what you do in advance. Preparation is vital in anizing your thoughts and ideas into a whole that makes sense to your audience. Plus, knowing the material backwards and forwards means that you can be quicker and more accurate in answering questions and will allow you to adlib(隨口說出 ) or go off script （ 腳本；手跡 ） in a personal and confident manner. 2. Practice with a friend Along with the preparation for the presentation itself, it’s important to practice what you’re going t o say ahead of time, preferably with another person who could give you feedback. Practicing in front of somebody else, instead of just a mirror, will allow you to get an objective perspective on your performance, while also giving you a bit of an audience to work with. 37 3. Breathe and relax During the actual presentation, it is important to remember to breathe and relax. This can be hard to remember when you’re in the midst of what you’re doing in front of an audience, but breathing will automatically slow you down and relax you during it. 38 I would advise a couple of deep breaths before starting a new slide point, just to keep your timing right. 4. Control your body language 39 Oftentimes when giving a presentation, just as important as what you’re saying is how you say it. Project confidence by looking out at people in the eyes and directing your presentation to the audience instead of behind them. It can also be a helpful tip to have open and inviting body language which can create a connection with the people you’re presenting to. 40 A. Organize your thoughts B. Prepare properly C. A few hand gestures are always good. D. Find someone who is patient enough to sit through your talk, and fortably supporting you, but also giving constructive criticism! E. The important thing is to have fun and try to show that you are. F. Breaths can also effectively act as pauses in the presentation and give you a chance to gather your thoughts. G. Researchers say that the majority of munication is nonverbal(非言語交際的 ), and I’m inclined （ 傾向 ） to agree. 第三部分 英語知識運用 （共兩節(jié)，滿分 45） 第一節(jié) 完形填空（共 20小題；每小題 ，滿分 30分） 閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項（ A、 B、 C和 D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。 February has long been a month of romance（浪漫） .
