【正文】 leadership and teachers began building a trusting environment and students and families described seeing changes aimed at improving student outes and ensuring the success of every student. The school day was altered to add more options for students to obtain additional credits toward graduation. Students and teachers were grouped into ―houses,‖ so that smaller groups of teachers and counselors(輔導(dǎo)員 )could create oneonone relationships with students. Teachers and counselors said that the altered school day provides time to address student’s individual concerns and develop individualized learning plans to put every student on a path to graduation. The school also made changes to encourage parents to support school and encourage real dialogues between parents and the teachers and leaders at Western. Funded in part through the United Way, the school created a family engagement center to get parents more involved in their children’s education, particularly parents of English language learners. Parents like Ally Gaona and Martha Mendez told me that they had a voice and the tools to engage in their children’s learning and that they recognize that the main responsibility for their children’s learning must rest with the parents. Parents were passionate about these positive changes and said that these changes signaled to the entire munity that the school was serious about family engagement. 28． What is the main purpose of the passage?

History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery. A striking example is provided by Dr. Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist (藥理學(xué)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(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 February has long been a month of romance.
