If you’re in charge of a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you. As a director, I point, I suggest, I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go.
In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common, Jackie Gleason’s character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman. The scene, shot on a boat, shows Max’s despair about being out of work.. I was looking for some gesture that would allow Max to show his feelings. Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened. What could I possibly tell “The Great One” about acting? Out of fear, I decided to direct by suggestion, and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene. “so Max is sad，right?” I said. Gleason nodded. “And he’s probably still carrying his pens with his name on them--the ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?” Gleason nodded. “So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?” He was silent for a moment. “Why don’t I throw them overboard?” I stood up and turned toward the crew. “Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea. Let’s shoot it.” After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a smile, “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?” You and your team can discover the answers to problems together. When there are no prizes or gold stars for who gets the solution first, you’ll all benefit when everything turns out right.

Going to sleep may seem pretty boring compared with all the fun things there are to do while you're awake. But there's a lot going on in your mind and body while you' re tucked under those covers.
Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival (生存) as eating and drinking. Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day. During sleep your temperature drops. Your heart rate slows. Down goes the pressure of the blood moving through your veins. A chemical that controls growth (called a hormone) surges into your bloodstream. Scientists think sleep restores energy and boosts (improves) your immune (免疫) system. We know what happens while we're asleep because scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories. The sleepers are hooked (钩) up to machines that measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities.
Sleep is like a school day: it's divided into different periods, or stages. When you're awake, your brain waves move rapidly. As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness of your surroundings. As you slide to deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life. Then, as you begin to drift back up to a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert (机警), and your dreams begin. You're in REM sleep.
REM was names for the “rapid eye movement” that happens while you're dreaming. During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind your timed lids, as though you were watching a movie. During other stages, you might move around in bed, but during REM sleep you're still. That's probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams. As you get closer to morning, you spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more. Researchers know that during REM sleep the part of the brain that handles learning and thinking is very active.
Getting too little sleep can affect your personality. Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours’ sleep a night.
67. The word "recommend" in the last paragraph means ______?
A. suggest B. ask C. wish D. order
68. Sleep has many advantages except __________.
A. improving your mood B. making you strong
C. helping you study D. practicing your eyes
69. During your sleep, ______.
① your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life
② your brain produces slower-moving waves
③ your dream begins
④ you loose awareness of surroundings
Choose the right order:
A. ①③②④ B. ②④①③ C. ④①③② D. ④③①②
70. Suppose this is the course of
your sleep, in which part of the course do you have dreams?
(A: light sleep B: deep sleep C: light sleep D: the whole course)
71. Which of the following is NOT right?
A. Hormone has something to do with your growth.
B. You cannot move while you are in REM sleep, dreaming.
C. The closer to morning, the more dreams you have.
D. You may move around in your bed during your sleep.

Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of. It serves directly to bring about a rapid sale of goods at reasonable prices, setting up a firm home market and making it possible to provide for export at good prices. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it causes an increasing need for labor, and is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television program would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or subway would cost more.
And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products and services you buy. Besides the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare produce anything that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so for long, for the public has the good sense not to buy the poor goods more than once. If you see product frequently advertised, it is the proof I know that the product does what is promised for it, and that it has good value.
Advertising does more for the good of the public than any other fore I can think of.
There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television person declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was telling us the real difference. Of course advertising tries to persuade.
If its message were nothing but information, that would be difficult to get more people to buy for even the choice of the color of a shirt is a bit persuasive --- advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television person wants.
72. By the first sentence of the passage the writer means that ______.
A. he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising.
B. Everybody knows well that advertising is a waste of money.
C. Advertising costs more money that everything else.
D. Money on advertising is worth spending.
73. In the passage, which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?
A. Getting greater fame. B. Providing more jobs.
C. Raising living standards. D. Reducing newspaper cost.
74. The writer thinks that the well-known TV person is ______.
A. quite right in passing his judgment on advertising
B. interested in nothing but the buyers attention
C. correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information
D. obviously unfair in his views on advertising
75. In the writer’s opinion, ______.
A. advertising can seldom bring material interest to man by providing information.
B. advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over.
C. there is nothing wrong with advertising in persuading the buyer.
D. the buyer is interested in getting information from an advertisement.

第一节 阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)
The Atlantic Ocean is one of the oceans that separate the Old World from the New. For centuries it kept the America from being discovered by the people of Europe.
Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into it. One idea was that it reached out to “the edge of the world.” Sailors were afraid that they might sail right off the earth. Another idea was that at the equator (赤道) the ocean would be boiling hot.
The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 miles (6,000 km) wide where Columbus crossed it. Even at its narrowest it is about 2,000 miles (3,200 km) wide.
Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. Also, it is the world’s saltiest ocean.
There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by rivers，it would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up. On the average, the water is a little more than two miles (3.2 km) deep, but in some places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is near Puerto Rico. This “deep” measures 30,246 feet ─ almost six miles ( 9.6 km).
One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. This mountain range runs north and south down the middle of the ocean. The tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands.
Several hundred miles eastward from Florida there is a part of the ocean called the Sargasso Sea. Here the water is quiet, for there is little wind. In the days of sailing vessels (船) the crew were afraid they would be becalmed (can’t move) here. Sometimes they were.
Today the Atlantic is a great highway. It is, however, not always a smooth and safe one. Storms sweep across it and pile up great waves. Icebergs float down from the far North across the paths of ships.
We now have such fast ways of traveling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller. Columbus sailed for more than two months to cross it. A fast modern steamship can make the trip in less than four days. Airplanes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from South America to Africa in four!
1. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

2. What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph?
____________________________________________________________________
3. What does the underlined word “highway” mean?

China has become a shock to the world in Olympic Games 2004, so the Chinese government will offer each gold medal winner the bonus of ￥200,000, local reward not included, which has become a household talk. Some say the players have own the honor for our country after taking great pains, so they deserve it. What’s more, it will benefit the training of future players. Others on the opposite side believe the players get well trained and paid by the country. It will go against our wish if the players quit after getting mush money. Besides, it’s said that some enterprises are taking advantage of this to sell their products. I think I will admire the sportsmen who worship not money but the spirits of the Olympic Games.
