Getting a solid night's rest when you're sick can seem like an unattainable goal for any number of reasons.It's difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep when you're troubled by a stuffy nose，a constant cough，or other unbearable symptoms（症状）.Fevers can make quality sleep even harder，thanks in part to fever dreams：especially vivid，unbelievable，or downright disturbing dreams that occur when you have a fever. As the Sleep Foundation explains，fever dreams sometimes involve spatial distortion，such as moving walls and melting objects；threats or danger，which can be anything from insects to terrorists；and illness.If you were to have a dream fitting this description when you weren't sick，you might just regard it as a common nightmare（噩梦）.But since people seem to experience such strange dreams more often during fevers，it's given rise to the idea that the two things must be linked. While there's a lot about fever dreams we don't know，there is at least a little evidence supporting the theory that some people's fever dreams are different from their regular dreams.In one study from 2016，researchers asked 62 people to describe past fever dreams and found them to be more unbelievable，more emotionally intense，and often negatively toned than regular dreams from an age and gender matched sample.Of the 164 people who participated in a 2020 survey，100 reported fever dreams.The researchers noted that these dreams included more references to health and temperature sensations（感觉）compared to normal most recent dreams. As for why fevers beget strange nightmares，scientists have some ideas. "One theory is that the brain doesn't process sensations normally when we have a fever，" Dr Beth Malow，director of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's sleep division，told Health in 2020.So burning up in your bed might just clearly show itself in a dream full of melting objects and seemingly unrelated dangers.（1）What might not make you fail to attain quality sleep according to the text？ ____ A.Having a blocked nose.B.Coughing constantly.C.Having dreams.D.Catching a fever.（2）What can we learn about fever dreams from the text？ ____ A.People will certainly dream of some threats or dangers during fevers.B.Fever dreams might make people ill.C.Fever dreams are often viewed as common nightmares.D.People are more likely to have nightmares during fevers.（3）What is the difference between fever dreams and regular dreams？ ____ A.Fever dreams are more incredible to young people.B.Fever dreams may bring stronger emotions.C.Fever dreams occur more frequently.D.Fever dreams may result in higher body temperature.（4）What does the underlined word "beget" mean in the last paragraph？ ____ A.Cause.B.Get.C.Reach.D.Explain.

If by "suburb" is meant an urban margin that grows more rapidly than its already developed interior, the process of suburbanization began during the appearance of the industrial city in the second quarter of the 19th century. Before that period, the city was a small highly compact zone in which people moved about on foot and goods were conveyed by horse and cart. But the early factories built in the 1840s were located along rivers and near rail stations at the edges of cities, and housing was needed for the thousands of people drawn by the prospect of employment. In time, the factories were surrounded byrapidly increasingmill towns of apartments and row houses that were close to the older, main cities. As a defense against this new drive and to enlarge their tax bases, the cities appropriated their industrial neighbors. In 1854, for example, the city of Philadelphiaintegrated most of Philadelphia County. Similar urban movements took place in Chicago and in New York. Indeed, most great cities of the United States achieved such status only by unifying the communities along their borders.In 1888, the first commercially successful electric traction line was developed. Within a few years thecarts drawn by horses were retired and electric streetcar networks crossed and connected every major urban area, fostering a wave of suburbanization that transformed the compact industrial city into a really great one.Glossary：suburbanization: 市郊化traction: 牵引力1.When did the process of suburbanization begin?A) During the appearance of city in the beginning of the 19th century.B) During the developed stage of the industrial city in the early 20th century.C) During the appearance of the industrial city in the second quarter of the 19th century.D) During the development of rural areas in the second quarter of the 19th century.2.How did most great cities of the United States achieve their status?A) By building more factories along the line.B) By unifying the communities along their borders.C) By absorbing more people from far and near.D) By enlarging their tax basis.3.In which year was the first commercially successful electric traction line developed?A) 1840.B) 1854.C) 1878.D) 1888.

Section CDirections: There are two passages in this section. Each passage i followed bysome questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A), B) C) and D) You should decide on the best choice.Fassage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.The age at which kidfirtfallvictim t bulying (欺侮) could influence how tronglythey are affected suggest a new study And surprisingly,ti notthe youngest kids whoare hurt the mo n the long term. Bullying can have longlasting effects but particularlywhen it begin in adolescence (青春期) the researchers say.People subjected to either oral or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk fordeveloping depression, anxiety disorders or to behave violently. But not everyone react inthis way. Children bullied for the first time before they hit adolescence seem to get overit, but those who are victimized for the first time late on in adolescence seem to becomemore aggressive or are more likely to turn to drinking as a means of coping. These arethe conclusions of psychologit Matthew Newman and his colleagues from the Universityof Texas at Austin, U.S.The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1,500 college students regarding theirexperience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescence - before highschool - and in late adolescence - at high schoo. They assessed mood and mentalstate judging by signs of anxiety or depression,such as sleeplessnes. The group was alsoquestioned about how they would react to certain challenges such as being embarrassedor provoked.People who were bullied all revealed slightly higher levels of stress. But while thosebullied earier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation, people bullied for thefirst time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.The best solution was strong social support whether from friends, family or school.Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the mos.So perhap it i best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on, suggestsNewman. “They may get stressed, but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they arebullied for the frsttime later on." The effects are likely to be related to the developingstress hormone system, which matures during adolescence, he concludes. Studies showabnormal stress responses in adult animals that experience social stress or aggressionfrom other animal during adolescence.21.

【题文】British paychologists have found evidence of a link between excessive(过度的) Internet use and depression, a research has shown.Leeds University researchers, writing in the Psychopathology journal, said a small part of Internet users were classed as Internet addicts and that people in this group were more likely to be depressed than non-addicted users.The article on the relationship between excessive Internet use and depression is from a questionnaire-based study of 1,319 young people and adults.The respondents answered questions about how much time they spent on the Internet and what they used it for; they also complete the Beck Depression Inventory---a series of questions designed to measure the seriousness of depression.The six—page report, by the university’s Institute of Psychological Science, said 18 of the people who complete the questionnaire were Internet addict.“Our research indicates that excessive Internet use is associated with depression, but what we don’t know is which comes first—are depressed people drawn to the Internet or does the Internet cause depression?” the article’s lead author Dr Catriona Morrison said.”What is clear is that, for a small part of people, excessive use of the Internet could be warning signal for depressive tendencies.”The age range of all respondents was between 16 and 51 years, with an average age of 21.24. The average age of the 18 Internet addicts was 18.3 years. By comparing the levels of depression within this group to that within a group of 18 non—addicted Internet users, researchers found the Internet addicts had a higher chance of developing depression than non-addicts. They also discovered that addicts spent more time visiting sexually pleasing website, online gaming sites and online communities.“The public speculation（推测）was further proved by this study. That’s to say, over-engaging in websites which serve to replace normal social function might be linked to psychological disorders like depression and addiction,” Morrison said.”We now need to consider the wider social influence of this relationship and clearly prove the effects of excessive Internet use on mental health.”【小题1】Internet addicts are people who ______ according to the passage. A．use the Internet more than enough B．feel depressed when using the Internet C．seldom connect to the Internet D．feel depressed without the Internet 【小题2】What is confirmed by the study according to the passage? A．Depression leads to excessive use of Internet B．Depression results from excessive use of Internet C．Excessive use of internet usually accompanies depression D．Excessive use of internet is usually earlier to depression 【小题3】It is thought by the public that online communities______. A．can never replace normal social function B．are intended to replace normal social function C．are associated with psychological disorders D．shouldn’t take the blame for psychological disorders 【小题4】According to Dr Catriona Morrison, the public speculation________. A．lacks scientific evidence B．helps clarify their study C．finds a theoretical basis D．has little scientific value
