Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day, and mine is no difference. Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. I’m sorry to say that the men in the family – my dad, my younger brother and myself – rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.
Around 2 pm every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but it’s not yet time to eat.
First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren’t wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.
But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.
Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highlights – visiting with family and watching football. But usually around 6 pm we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.
小題1:The purpose of the text is to ________.
A．tell what the family do for Thanksgiving Day
B．tell how the family spends Thanksgiving Day
C．introduce foods served on Thanksgiving Day
D．introduce the American Thanksgiving Day
小題2:On Thanksgiving Day the author’s family do the following except ________.
A．watching a movieB．making visits
C．having a big mealD．watching football
小題3:Why does the author’s mind usually “go blank” when saying a prayer of thanks?
A．He is too thankful to say a word.B．His mind is on the food before him.
C．He feels too excited to speak.D．He is shy to speak in public.
小題4:The underlined phrase “dig in” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.
A．chat with othersB．make a hole
C．mix things upD．start eating

Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us from earlier school days have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
“ On the contrary,” says L.Giambra, an expert in psychology（心理學(xué)）, “ daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day… .
You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious（有意識(shí)的） mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious states of minds have silent dialogues.”
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illness. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, “we know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures… Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.”
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams which may be hard to understand. It’s easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of handling them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted; they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.
So the next time you catch yourself daydreaming, don’t stop. Just pay attention to your dream. It may be more important than you think.
小題1:In what way are daydreams different from sleep dreams?
A．Daydreams help to develop an unconscious mind.
B．Daydreams are not so easy for us to control and direct.
C．Daydreams help us to handle more difficult situations
D．Daydreams are easier for us to understand.
小題2:Professor Eric Klinger believes that _______.
A．our fears and longings in life are shown in our daydreams
B．we may study our experiences just through our daydreams
C．daydreaming is one of the important ways that we recognize our lives
D．we should be able to tell our futures by having daydreams
小題3:The writer of the article thinks that ______.
A．daydreaming is more helpful than sleep dreams
B．many artists and scientists are famous because they have daydreams
C．professor Eric Klinger has a better idea than L. Giambra
D．daydreaming with an unconscious mind will do good to health
小題4:Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A．Daydreaming was once regarded as a cause of mental illness.
B．Experts began to have a better understanding of daydreams in the late 1980s.
C．Scientists believe that we can know daydreams before having them.
D． Many well-known artists gained energy of creation from daydream

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Are you a media addict who would go mad after two hours without TV, friend requests, exciting online games and your mobile – or would you easily survive?
Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University. The experiment is now over but he doesn’t yet know the full findings. However, during the experiment, Dr Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. He said: “They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms(癥狀), overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected.” During their 24-hour painful experience, three of the experiment’s guinea pigs had to endure one intrusion(侵?jǐn)_) from the media: a BBC reporter plus cameraman who followed them around for the day. They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops. Elliot Day wrote: “Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air. Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers.” From Caroline Scott, we read: “I didn’t expect it, but being prevented from the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual… I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but it’s not something I would like to do again!” And Charlotte Gay wrote: “I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social tool, it’s my main access point of communication.”
Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once. And a recent study by Nielson found that on average, US teenagers send and receive over 3,000 texts per month ---that’s about six texts per waking hour. So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?
小題1:What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To ask for information.B．To entertain the readers.
C．To lead to the topic.D．To present an idea.
小題2:About Dr. Roman Gerodimos’ experiment, we know that ________.
A．volunteers felt uncomfortable in it.
B．volunteers didn’t want to eat anything.
C．the experiment was still going on.
D．volunteers were allowed to take their laptops.
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Three pigs were included in the experiment.
B．A BBC reporter discussed the experiment.
C．During the 24 hours’ experiment the volunteers wrote out their experiences.
D．The lecturer had expected sweat would suddenly appear on the volunteers through fear.
小題4:What does the sentence “…was thrown up into the air” most probably means?
A．went on normally.B．was completely disturbed.
C．turned out perfect.D．was badly designed.
小題5:Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A．Surviving without the Media.B．Unplugging Your Life.
C．Valuing Social Communication.D．Setting Aside Time for Sleep.

Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to meet and many decisions to make．Your future begins here．
However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed（壓垮）by the details of running a well-balanced life．While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you．
The following you may find of use about life on campus．
* Plan well．There are so many new things to do at a new college or university．Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there．Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely．
* If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now（like a day timer, a computer data book）, get one．Most of all, don’t depend on your memory．
* Don’t miss the guidelines．The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student handbook．Consider them well-balanced food for thought．What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/ can’t you do in class? What can/ can’t you do in your student residence? Who has right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?
* Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table．Consider this—you are paying thousands of dollars for your courses. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course．
* Build your identity．This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do．Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas．Do not be afraid of the beyond．This is learning to make good choices．
小題1:What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To describe the importance of college life．
B．To explain why college life is exciting．
C．To offer advice on college life．
D．To persuade you to go to college．
小題2:According to the passage, why is it exciting to begin college life?
A．Because you prepare for your future career and life there．．
B．Because you will no longer be afraid of the beyond．
C．Because you will have more freedom at college．

小題3:The underlined word “know-how” refers to___________________________．
A．a(chǎn)n understanding of how things are going at college
B．college halls where rules and regulations are presented
C．practical knowledge about how to behave and what to do at college
D．a(chǎn)n environment completely different from the one you’re used to
