I see my friends gathered by a stage where music is playing and I run over. As I begin running towards them, they become further and further away. I keep calling for them, but no one hears me. I start hearing a distant alarm-like sound and I am transported away. I woke up in a daze (茫然) sitting in my bed. “Oh, it was only a dream,” I said to myself. I have always had vivid and intense dreams. Sometimes, it feels like I haven’t even slept because I have been living out my dreams during my sleep. Today, dreaming is being studied even more than ever. Some say that dreams are how your receptors (受體) make sense of random thoughts while you sleep. Some say that you can’t dream of a face you have never seen before, so everyone you see in your dreams you have at least laid eyes on at one time or another. Other people think dreams are ways of expressing stress or internal feelings you may be experiencing. A lot of people say that they have dreams about being chased (追逐). A common interpretation of the “being chased” dream is that you are feeling threatened. Some dream interpretation sites say you should try to reflect on what or who is chasing you to get a better idea of what is making you feel this way. Another dream that is often experienced is flying. This dream has a much more positive interpretation, which is that you are feeling free or have broken out of a bad situation such as a relationship turned sour or a job you hate. Unfortunately, if you even remember your dreams at all, you forget half of your dream within five minutes of waking up and within 10 minutes, you usually forget 90 percent of it. Dreamologists, people who devote time to the study and interpretation of dreams, suggest if you want to try to remember and study your dreams you should keep a journal beside your bed and jot down what you dreamt as soon as you wake up so you can reflect on it later. 1、Dreams of “being chased” occur because ________. A．you are feeling threatened B．you just quit a job you hate C．your friends are far away from you when in need D．your receptors is always thinking while you sleep 2、Why should we keep a journal beside your bed to reflect on dreams? A．We need to chase those people who appeared in our dreams. B．We usually forget 90 percent of dreams within 10 minutes. C．It can help us get out of the intense dreams. D．It can help us sleep well without dreams. 3、Where can we read this article? A．In a poster. B．In a physics book. C．In a traveling magazine. D．In a science newspaper. 4、What is the best title for the passage? A．Why am I Always Dreaming B．How Is My Dream Created C．What do My Dreams Mean D．How to Avoid Dreams 22．（8分）David Hepworth and Eric Whale,two Scottish material scientists,were looking for smart ways to reuse food waste when they figured out how to make nanofibers（納米纖維）out of leftovers from carrot juice.The cellulose（纖維素）in carrots and other root vegetables,unlike other fibrous materials like wood or cotton,is easy to separate out from the rest of the biowaste. The scientists call the material Curran,after the Gaelic word for carrot.And they set out to show that it could be used to replace glass or carbon fibers.They say it's nearly twice as strong and slightly lighter than carbon.They would just go to buy in their local grocery store.But they soon realized that the carrot actually worked well and that they could turn to agricultural waste to source their material.They found that the smartest,most ecologically responsible use for the nanofibers was for protective sporting goods.And in particular,motorcycle helmets,which have to be both strong and light.That's right: Motorcycle helmets of the future might be made from carrots,not carbon. The question here,first of all,was to see what could be a possible market for such a new fiber,from an ecological point but also from the economic and technical angles too,"David Hepworth says.That's where the helmet comes in.They found that protective sporting goods,which need stiff,strong,light fibers and low economic overhead,were some of the best use cases for Curran.David Hepworth and his team are also looking at the possibility of using it in surfboards and insulation（隔離板）for mobile homes. The challenge now is taking the material from the lab to mass production.And,making sure that it's still ecologically smart on a grander scale.It doesn't make sense to develop a material from biowaste if there's no use for it.Or if turning it into a useable product takes more energy than the non-renewable choice. 1、Why was the carrot chosen by the Scottish scientists at first? A．It worked best. B．It could be convenient to get. C．It is easy to be broken into pieces. D．It did little harm to the environment. 2、What is special about Curran compared with other fibers? A．Its shape. B．Its length. C．Its quality. D．Its weight. 3、Which is a challenge for using the new material mentioned at present? A．How to use it widely. B．How to make it cheaper. C．How to study it out of the lab. D．Flow to get it in large amounts. 4、Which can best serve as the title for the text? A．Ways to Reuse Biological Wastes B．Coming Helmets Made of Carrots C．The Solutions to Dangerous Riding D．The Challenge in Producing Helmets 23．（8分）There is a breakthrough in building aircrafts. Bendable wings covered with overlapping(部分重疊) pieces resembling fish sizes could be used to build swifter, fuel-efficient aircraft, a new study finds. Nowadays, conventional aircrafts typically rely on ailerons (副翼) to help control the way the planes tip as they fly. However, when the Wright brothers flew the first airplane, Flyer 1, over a century ago, they used no ailerons but wires and pulleys that twisted the wood-and-canvas wings, to control the plane, Scientists have long sought to develop aircrafts that can alter their wings during flight, just as birds can. However, most previous attempts have failed because they relied on heavy mechanical control structures within the wings. These structures were also complex and unreliable, said Neil Gershenfeld, a physicist and director of the Center for Bits and Atoms at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The new wing consists of a system of tiny, strong, lightweight modules. The shape of the wing can be changed uniformly along its length using two small motors, which apply a twisting pressure to each wingtip. Thes
