A large,detached (独立的)house not only ensures privacy. It is also a status symbol. The “magnificent home” is set in a big garden. Of course,this kind of house is an unrealistic dream for most people. But even a small detached house, surrounded by a garden, gives the required suggestion of rural life which is dear to the hearts of many British people. Most people would be happy to live in a cottage (村舍),and if this is a thatched (茅草的)cottage, suggestive of a pre-industrial age,so mush the better.
Most people try to avoid living in a block of flats (what the Americans call ’’apartment blocks”). Flats, they feel, provide the least amount of privacy. With a few exceptions, mostly in certain locations in central London, flats are the cheapest kind of home. The people who live in them are those who cannot afford to live anywhere else.
The dislike of living in flats is very strong. In the 1950s millions of poorer people lived in old, cold, uncomfortable nineteenth century houses, often with only an outside toilet and no bathroom. During the next twenty years many of them were given new “high rise” blocks of flats to live in which,with central heating and bathrooms, were much more comfortable and were surrounded by grassy open spaces. But people hated their new homes. They said they felt cut off from the world with all those floors up. They missed the neighborliness. They couldn’t keep a watchful eye on their children playing down there in those lovely green spaces. The new high-rise blocks quickly got broken. The lifts didin’t work. The corridors were dark. Windows were damaged and were not repaired. There was graffiti all over the walls.
British people prefer________.
A.flats to detached houses
B.cottages to flats
C.modern houses to old houses
D.city life to country life
A garden is considered to be desirable because_______.A.it’s British
B.it appears rural
C.gardening is popular
D.children like gardens
British people don’t like to live in blocks of flats because_______A.they want more privacy
B.flats are too small
C.flats are in expensive areas
D.they dislike the neighbors there
Compared with the 19th century houses, the new high-rise blocksA.were in better locations
B.were warmly welcomeed
C.were much better equipped
D.were much more expensive
Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?A.British Culture
B.Houses, Not Flats
C.British Dream
D.Kinds of Houses
A.realism
B.romanticism
C.criticism
D.Passion
In passive sleep the body is at rest. We move very little. And the brain becomes very inactive, ff a person continues to sleep, she or he enters anew period, a more active period. The body goes through several changes: the brain temperature rises, blood in the brain increases, the body becomes very still and the brain goes into active state. And as the brain goes active, the eyes begin to move rapidly. And that is the sign of another change---the person is dreaming. Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. Doctors have studied the sleep cycle and have found that everyone dreams---in fact, that everyone needs to dream in order to stay healthy. It appears we need both kind of sleep. We need passive sleep in order to rest our bodies. We need active sleep in order to dream. And dreaming helps us to rest our minds,
What does not happen in the brain in the active sleep?
A.The brain becomes very active.
B.The brain becomes very inactive.
C.The brain temperature rises.
D.The brain blood rises.
SECTION B INTERVIEW
Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.
Now listen to the interview.
听力原文:Liz: Hello Fred. You don't look so good. What's the matter?
Fred: I just didn't have a good sleep. It seemed I dreamed all night. Do you dream a lot when you sleep?
Liz: Yes. In fact everybody dreams. And everyone needs to dream in order to stay healthy. There are two kinds of sleep, active sleep and-passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that is needed, and prepares us for active sleep in which dreaming occurs. The dream stage is very important in our sleep cycle. When the person is dreaming, the eyes begin to move. Through the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The cycle is repeated several times throughout the night.
Fred: Do you know how long people usually dream during eight-hour sleep?
Liz: For about one and a half hours on average. So we need active sleep because dreaming helps us to rest our minds.
Fred: I see. All people experience dream cycles.
Liz: Can you remember dreams? What did you dream last night?
Fred: Oh yes. It was terrible. I dreamed that I was chased by someone or something. I don't remember very well. So I was running all the time.
Liz: This is a very common type of dream. Over 70% of people have dreamed that they were being chased or pursued by something and often in the dream they find themselves unable to flee for one reason or another. These often occur during periods of great anxiety and may be related to frustrating situations which are frequently occurring in their waking life. Anxiety dreams are amongst the most common types reported and are particularly common amongst women (78%). Only 63% of men experience them.
Fred: How about dreams of violence?
Liz: Dreams featuring scenes of violence are much more common amongst men (50%) than amongst women (44%). The differences are not very great. Perhaps men are simply more likely to talk about violent things and it must be remembered that women are often the most ardent fans of TV westerns and wrestling programmes.
Fred: Are there any more kinds of dreams that men experience more than women?
Liz: Yes. When people are tight in finances, they often have dreams which involve finding coins showering from a slot machine or picking up money from the ground. About a quarter of men have had this kind of dream, but only 15% of women. This probably relates to the fact that money matters are more likely to preoccupy the male than the female.
Fred: Do you sometimes have dreams about falling?
Liz: Yes. It is a common type of dream too. Dreams about falling are very common with about 75% scoring average. The most frequently reported is one in which typically one trips over something, stumbles or falls and wakes up with a jump.
Fred: How do you explain this?
Liz: Psychologists now believe that these dreams do not have any great emotional significance, but are merely due to muscular spasms which take place on the threshold between consciousness and sleep. Well, dreams about flying or floating in the air are often considered to be related to an unconscious wish to escape from something. They are in fact about reported by about 50% of dreamers. Dreams about the sea are also common. Women (40%) are far more likely to experience than men (27%).
Fred: What other kinds of dreams women experience more than men?
Liz: Dreams about famous people. Women are more likely to dream about famous people, politicians, pop stars, film stars and the like (33%) than men (27%). One very common dream, which almost certainly falls into the wish fulfillment category, is when people report that they are actually meeting famous people in their dreams.
Fred: W
A.active steep
B.passive sleep
C.deep sleep
D.oversleeping

听力原文: According to government statistics, men of all social classes in Britain visit pubs quite regularly, though the kind of pub they go to may be different and their reasons for going there vary, too. Nowadays they often take their wives or girlfriends, which used not to be the case.
The fact is that the typical English pub is changing, partly because of the licensing laws not being so strict as they were, but also because publicans (酒店老板 ) are trying to do away with the old Victorian image of the pub. Pubs now provide couples with an. atmosphere where they can both enjoy them selves. Pubs used not to open except at certain times. The result was that they were usually crowded with men who seemed to be drinking as much as possible in the time available. But that kind of pub is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
Opening hours are still limited to eight hours a day, but the publican can now choose which hours suit him best. And these days you can even get a cup of coffee if you prefer it to beer. But in spite of this the Puritans would never dream of admitting that a pub could become a respectable place.

As a Chinese saying goes, "Take your hand, and hold it forever. " Eternal love is what peo- ple dream of, and this kind of love truly exists in Heyuan city, Guangdong province.
Pan Tianci and Gao Di, who were born in 1919 and 1920 respectively, have spent 93 years together and been married for 81 years. Gao joined Pan&39; s family as a child bride when she was only two, and later got married at 14. Now they have a family boasting four generations and 15 members in total.
Marriages that have lasted more than 80 years are known as "oak marriages", and are very rare. It is said that only 20 or so couples in the world have oak marriages. Oak is labeled as the free of mystery. Being the tallest and exuberant tree in the world, oak tree is in charge of Cupid the god of love in the Greek ancient myth. Oak marriage refers to the 80 anniversary of marriage, which is derived from French, symbolized the love for a long time.
To celebrate Pan and Gao&39; s "oak marriage", an anniversary party was held in the village over the weekend.
Villagers say the couple stays in. good health, and the two of them usually hang out hand in hand. According to their 67-year-old son, Pan and Gao have always respected each other and never lost temper in the past, setting a good example for their progeny.
