Love is a kiss from pare nts.BIt is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more cha nces to choose a good job while people with little or no educati on don 't. It seems that the purpose of educati on is to make people get jobs. But this isn 'accepted by all people.Some people may think that a pers on should spe nd the best years of his life to get educati on only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, ifeducati on is just a way of making a liv ing, people don 'tn eed to spe nd so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to every one. Even Ian guage and mathematics n eed not be taught i n detail, either. Here it is clear that educati on is much more tha n teachi ng a man to get a way of livi ng.Educati on is well-r oun ded and it is mai nly for improvi ng a man .It is n ot on ly to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and tha nkfully enjoy the achieveme nts of huma n. Educati on is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to liste n to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an in terest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.28. The underlined word “well-rounded ”in the passage means “ ____ ” in Chinese.A.圆满的B.崭新的C.公平的D.全面的29. It is expected that educated people will be able to ____ .A. accept education as a way of livingB. become interested in the whole worldC. develop their abilities to make playsD. learn subjects like language and math30. The passage mainly tells us that _____ .A. education should make a man improveB. people can get education in a short timeC. people should be able to get better paying jobsD. all subjects are so important for a way of livingCJane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices（偏见） of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously（匿名）.But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced （增强） by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work.The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related（相关的）books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy.You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.31. Jane Austen paid two long visits to Bath ____ .A. in her early twentiesB. in her early teensC. in her late twentiesD. in her late teens32. What can we learn about Bath from the passage?A. Bath has greatly changed since Jane Austen's death.B. The city has changed as much as Jane Austen knew it.C. Bath remains almost the same as in Jane Austen's time.D. No changes have taken place in Bath since Jane Austen's time.33. The author writes this passage in order to ____ .A. attract readers to visit the city of BathB. ask readers to buy Auste n's booksC. tell readers about Jane Auste n's experie neeD. give a brief introduetion to the Jane Austen SocietyDA couple of mon ths ago, I was renting a house to work from. I was fairly well set up, but didn't own a law n mower and after a week or two I realized that I would have to find some way todeal with the growing grass!

" I smiled as I went in side to carry on work ing.I left for work that evening, and did n't retur n un til the Tuesday morning. As I drove into the driveway, I realized someth ing was differe nt.

Yet, with dark glasses ornot, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow blindness when exposed to several hours of snow light.The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes often find nothing to focus on in a broad space of snow-covered land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid (液体) which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snow blindness.Experiments led the army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts (侦察员) ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight,dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something.

Babbel has 14languages to choose from，so if you're thinking about brushing up on your German for a business trip，or learning a bit of Portuguese（葡萄牙语）for next year's summer vacation，you'll be happy to hear that you only need an app，7days of learning to get you conversational．1．The Babbel app is used for people to．A．speak with nativesB．learn foreign languagesC．do international businessD．plan a vacation abroad2．How did the Babbel app help David learn quickly？A．It took him little time every day．B．It provided him with 14languages．C．It gave him daily grammar practice．D．It offered lessons according to his needs．3．The example of David is used in the passage to show that．A．hard work matters a lotB．Babbel app sells wellC．Norwegian is easy to learnD．Babbel app really helps17．（6分）Imagine this situation：You go out to your backyard，and you see a bear smelling your rubbish bin．Or you go into your garage（车库）to get your bike and find a bear there．What would you do？People in some parts of Florida think about these situations a lot．They have been running into black bears more and more often．This is frightening and dangerous for both bears and people．The number of cases of people and bears running into each other has gone up．In 1978，just one case was reported．In 2002，1，340 cases were reported．These cases are called "conflicts"．Studies show that the number of conflicts in Florida is going up．Some people think that human﹣bear conflicts are going up in Florida because there are more bears．Actually，it's just the opposite．The number of bears is going down．In the early 1900s，there were about 12，000 black bears in Florida．Today，no one is really sure how many black bears are left．People think the number is from 1，500 to 3，000．So why are human﹣bear conflicts increasing so rapidly？There aren't more bears，but there are more people．There are many people who want to protect the Florida black bear．Here are some of the things that people in Florida are doing：•Teaching school children about the Florida black bear with a special program that includesa slide﹣show，games，and activities．•Choosing carefully where roads are built or widened so that wild animals will not be harmed by the traffic．•Holding a yearly festival for families with arts，food，and information on the bear．1．What does the underlined word " conflicts" in the second paragraph mean？A．Bears living in Florida in 2002．B．Studies of black bears in Florida．C．Fights between people and black bears．D．Cases of people and bears running into each other．2．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A．Black bears live in thick woods．B．People feel afraid when they run into a bear．C．There are about 3，000 black bears left in Florida now．D．The reason why human﹣bear conflicts are going up is that there're more people．3．To protect black bears，people in Florida are．A．trying to learn more about black bearsB．teaching students how to take good care of bearsC．building and widening new roads for black bearsD．giving back black bears more food and living space18．（6分）"My dear Mr Bennet，" said his lady to him one day，"have you heard that Netherfield Park is let （出租）at last？"Mr Bennet replied that he had not．"But it is，" returned she，"for Mrs Long has just been here，and she told me all about it．" Mr Bennet made no answer．"Do not you want to know who has taken it？" cried his wife impatiently"You want to tell me，and I have no objection （反对）to hearing it．"This was invitation enough．"Why，my dear，you must know，Mrs Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune （财富）from the north of England；that he came down on Monday to see the place，and was so satisfied with it that he agreed immediately（立即））with Mr Morris，the owner of Netherfield，and some of his servants（仆人）are to be in the house by the end of next week．""What is his name？""Bingley．""Is he married or single？""Oh! Single，my dear，to be sure! A single man of large fortune；four or five thousand a year．What a fine thing for our girls! It is probable that he may fall in love with one of them，and so you must visit him as soon as he comes．""I see no chance for that．You and the girls may go，or you may send them by themselves，which perhaps will be still better；for，as you are as handsome as any of them，Mr Bingleymight like you the best of all．""But，my dear，you must indeed go and see Mr Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood．""It is more than what I should do，honestly speaking．""But consider your daughters．Sir William and Lady Lucas have decided to go，for in general，you know they visit no new comers．Indeed you must go，for it will be impossible for us to visit him，if you do not．"But in fact Mr Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited to visit Mr Bingley．He had always planned to visit him，though to the last always lying to his wife that he would not go．（Adapted from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen）1．How did Mrs Bennet feel when she heard that Bingley would move there？A．Excited and hopeful．B．Surprised and crazy．C．Nervous and curious．D．Pleased and proud．2．Why did Mr Bennet show no interest in Mr Bingley's moving there when his wife talked about it？A．Because his daughters were not pretty enough．B．Because his wife was prettier than his daughters．C．Because he didn't want to show his true feelings to others．D．Because he didn't care about his daughters' happiness．3．From the conversation between Mr and Mrs Bennet，we can conclude that Mrs Bennet．A．wanted to tell her husband something about their new neighborB．wanted to learn more about their new neighborC．wanted to persuade（说服）her husband to see the young manD．asked her husband to let her visit the new neighbor19．（8分）For too many people，the harm begins early in life．Four out of ten babies born in the United States do not form a strong relationship with either parent，and they will pay for that in the rest of their lives．New research from Princeton University confirms what other researchers have alreadyfound：the number of babies who are lack of the close relationship is rather big，which prevents them having a fair chance of having a successful life．That finding is supported by many other research projects，including a study from the University of Rochester showing that nearly one third of US parents don't know what to expect from their newborns，or how to help them grow and learn and get along with others．Babies，as others have pointed out，don't come with an owner's guide book．The basic problem，according to the Princeton's study，is that 40 per cent of babies in the US live in fear or distrust of their parents，and that will turn into aggressiveness （侵犯），defiance （违抗）and hyperactivity （多动）as they grow into adults．Of that number，25 per cent don't have a close relationship with their parents because the parents don't satisfy their needs．And 15 per cent find their parents are so troubling that they will avoid them whenever possible．That will not necessarily result in a lifetime of violence，but it will make living a successful life much more difficult．"They can overcome（克服）it，" sociologist Sophie Moullin of Princeton，the leader of that study，said in a telephone interview．"It's not a make﹣or﹣break situation，but they might find it harder to control their behaviour．"Moullin，along with his teammates from Columbia University and the University of Bristol in England，studied more than 100 research projects，to reach their conclusions．Many reasons lead to the problem，including poverty（贫穷），ignorance（无知），and stress among parents who are so busy with their own problems that a new child is sometimes more than they can deal with．Yet strong relationships，the researchers say，are amazingly simple to achieve．1．According to the writing style of the passage，it may be a．A．news reportB．book reportC．novelD．review2．Which of the following is NOT true？A．About 40% of the newborns do not form a strong relationship with either parent．B．Some parents are too busy with their own problems to deal with a new child．C．Parents' failing to satisfy their babies' needs may cause future problems．D．Babies who fail to have close relationships with their parents are sure to have an unsuccessful life．3．What may be discussed in the following paragraph？A．Findings of other projects similar to this topic．B．Examples of the results of lacking strong relationships．C．Simple ways of achieving strong relationships with a baby．D．Reasons for failing in building up strong relationships with a baby．4．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？A．It's harder to control children's behaviourB．What a little love means to a little oneC．The problems of the parents in the United StatesD．The problems of the babies in the United States四、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）20．（1分）If new energy is used more（广泛），there will be much less pollution.. 21．（1分）Mr Black is the（严格）teacher I have ever met．But I like him a lot．22．（1分）The boy

Elmer Ramirez，the UT professor who invented the lamp，believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people，especially small rainforest communities，42% of whom have no electricity．七、完成句子按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上．（本大题共6小题，每小题1.5分，共9分）37．（1.5分）霍金于2018年3月14日安详地辞世，享年76岁．Hawking76on March14th，2018．38．（1.5分）电影《厉害了，我的国》是如此的精彩，很值得再看一遍．The film Amazing China is so wonderful again．39．（1.5分）这对英国夫妇自来到无锡就爱上了吴文化公园．The British couple Wu Culture Park since they came to Wuxi．40．（1.5分）我认为他把烦恼藏在心里就是浪费时间．真傻！I think it's just to himself．How silly he is!41．（1.5分）无论何时孩子做错事，应该鼓励讲真话而不是编造谎言．Whenever a child has done something wrong，he or she should be encouraged．42．（1.5分）儿童常被比作是春天里的花朵．Children in spring．八、书面表达（本大题共10分）43．（10分）假设你校英文社正在调查中学生在学习英语过程中会遇到的问题．下面表格列举了最普遍的三个问题，请你根据这些问题及给出的合理建议，为报社写一份英文报告．写作要求：1．报告须包含表格中所有信息，并适当增加细节，以使行文流畅、通顺；2．表格中省略号处请2﹣3句话作适当发挥，给出合理的建议；3．词数90左右，报告的开头已给出，不计入总词数．参考词汇：本土人（native speaker）Nowadays it's important and necessary to learn English well but students are having problems learning English．Many students2017-2018学年江苏省无锡市新吴区九年级（下）期中英语试卷参考答案与试题解析一、单项选择在A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．（本大题共14小题，每小题1分，共14分）1．（1分）________to see you here!

To help students learn about ancient Greek and Roman cultures.(B)By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins(维生素) and other nutrients(营养物) that enter our body.Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw(生的) vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene(番茄红素), the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, s ometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”A number decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying(油炸) or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables are cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting some other things will make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.（）28. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.A. have the eyes problemsB. have heart diseaseC. be in need of lycopeneD. hate eating tomatoes（）29. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.A. the place where the vegetables are grownB. the way how the vegetables are storedC. the way how the vegetables are preparedD. the price at which the vegetables are sold（）30. From the last paragraph, we can know ________.A. it’s better to cook vegetables with the fatB. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eatC. it’s better to cook the veg etables without saltD. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables（C）"BANG!" the door caused a big noise. It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed Father. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I walked aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and rules of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never allows it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I walked in the streets, without a place in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to accompany me. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: "Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his words: "I can't throw you away, let alone these old papers?"All the lights were off except Father's.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of feeling sorry. After an argument he has the habit of appearing silently in my sleep and then helping me under the covers.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love---is second to none.（）31.

How the boy understand his father’s loveB. Where the boy wentC. What made a father angryD. Why the boy left home（D）Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen t o everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he/ she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.（）34.How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixth.B. More than a half.C. About 40%.D. The passage doesn’t tell us.（）35. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “damaged” in this passage?A. knockedB. changedC. brokeD. harmed（）36. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.（）37.The best title for this passage is _______.A. Scientists’ New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different Hands卷二（共40分）四、词汇（8’）(A)根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。

As entrance into college has become more difficult, colleges have looked more at what skills you have. Taking part in after-school activities is a great way to succeed in school. High School ClubsMost high schools have a lot of clubs and activities, so it is easy to find something that you are interested in. Colleges look for students who will also be active other than test scores. There are many clubs in school, such as the drama club and a book club. You may even be able to find a club related to a job, such as Future Teachers of America. High School SportsIf you want to go to college and want to take part in sports at a college level, then this fact justmight give you a chance. It is generally a good idea to focus on one single sport. If you plan on sports opening college doors and leading to college scholarships, it would be better if you decide which sport to do. In this way, you will have enough time to build their skills.High School Publications(出版物)Another smart way to be active in high school and show colleges that you are interested in activities more than academics(学术) is to be a part of their school‟s newspaper or magazine. There may be an actual class you can join or you may join a club. Being in high school publications can be very helpful, particularly if you want to major(主修) in English or in education in college.34、After-school activities include all of the following except ________.A．joining a club B．doing a part-time jobC．taking part in sports D．working on school‟s newspaper or magazine35、Being a club member may help students ________.A. improve their EnglishB.get higher scores in subjectsB. make more good friends D.know something about jobs36、We can learn from the passage that ________.A．the US colleges like good grades and test betterB．the US colleges consider it important to be good at sportsC．you should be a part of school‟s newspaper or magazineD．you have to find a club to join in high schools in the US37、Which of the following students will get useful information from this passage? A．Sarah is thinking about starting her own business after graduation.B．Ann likes writing and she would like to choose English as her major in college. C．Leon is interested in acting and he want s to join the school‟s drama club.D．Chris has difficulty in getting along with the other members in the basketball team. Depression(抑郁症)is a serious problem today. One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread, costly and deadly”. Depression hits one person in five around the world. Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the world's population will be suffering from a serious depression．A recent research shows that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to试卷第8页，共14页develop depression as young adults.The researchers used a nationwide long-term survey of teenage health to investigate(调查) the relationship between media(传播媒介) use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand teenagers who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000. As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty-one.The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games of radio etc. But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.The study didn‟t explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.Last December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active, to read, to take part in religious services and to vote.38、The survey shows that of all the media uses. A ．most teenagers prefer to listen to the radio B ．teenagers enjoy watching TV very much C ．computer games are teenagers‟ favourite D ．magazines are mentioned in the survey 39、The result of the research seems to prove. A ．media uses do no harm to teenagersB ．teenagers are more likely to develop depressionC ．those who don‟t watch TV won‟t develop depressionD ．TV probably causes teenagers to grow up with depression40、According to the passage, we can infer that _______.A．watching TV may lead to happinessB．social activities can prevent depressionC．a teenager should play more video games instead of watching TVD．it was easier for young women to develop depression than young men41、What is the best title for this passage?A．Media use is harmful to teenagersB．Adults, Media use and DepressionC．Teens, Television and DepressionD．Take great care of teenager‟s depressionEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed really hard to get the thread(线) to run smoothly around the needle(针).Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamed that he had been caught by terrible soldiers whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the prison and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears(矛) raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practical sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active partunderstands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It试卷第10页，共14页stores all kinds of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images(图像) which the conscious part may not know at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves ”.42、According to the passage, Elias Howe was _______. A ．the first person that solved problems in his sleep B ．much more hard-working than other inventorsC ．the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD ．the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams 43、The problem Howe was trying to solve was _______. A ．what kind of thread to use B ．where to put the needleC ．how to design a needle which would not breakD ．how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle 44、Thomas Edison is spoken of because _______.A ．he also tried to invent a sewing machineB ．he got some of his ideas from dreamsC ．he was one of Howe's best friendsD ．he also had difficulty in falling asleep45、What does the underlined phrase “secret messages to ourselves” mean? A ．Strange images are used to communicate ideas. B ．Images which have no meaning are used. C ．We can never understand the real meaning. D ．Some specially trained people can know them.第II卷（非选择题）四、翻译（题型注释）46、她心情沮丧，只是默默地流泪。
