　　I will always remember my mother’s last few days in this world.

　　On February 14th,2000, my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. When we returned to school, my teacher told me to go to the headmaster’s office. When I got into the office, I saw a police office. Suddenly I realized something was wrong. The police office told me what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that, we went to the hospital and waited. Time went slowly. Finally, we got to see our mother. It was terrible.

　　On the next day, the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened. I was taking a rest that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside, my sister ran up to me. She started crying, “She’s gone. Teresa, mommy’s gone. She’s dead.” I couldn’t believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of my family were there. The silence was terrible.

　　Dreams

　　"Dreams (梦 ) may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream," some sci-entists say.

　　Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in colour. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.

　　Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.

　　Sometimes we wake up with a good feel-ing from a dream. But often we cant re-member the dream. Dreams can disappear (消失) quickly from memory (记忆).

　　Too much dreaming can be harmful (有害的). The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.

　　1. It may be less important to sleep than to__.

　　A. think B. dream C. work D. study

　　More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert.

　　One day the Prince wanted to go hunt-ing with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle, which was like a small bed.

　　When the Prince came back from hunt-ing, Gelert ran out to meet his master. He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws on the Princes chest. Then the Prince saw the blood on Gelerts jaws and head.

　　"What have you done?" the Prince said. He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.

　　中考英语阅读 25

　　President Arling has put his long awaited economic restructuring program before the Congress. It provides a coordinated program of investment credits, research grants, education reforms, and tax changes designed to make American industry more competitive. This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment, lack of growth, and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.

　　The most liberal wing of the President’s party has called for stronger and more direct action. They want an incomes policy to check inflation while federal financing helps rebuild industry behind a wall of protective tariffs.

　　The Republicans, however, decry even the modest, graduated tax increases in the President’s program. They want tax cuts and more open market. They say if federal money has to be injected into the economy, let it through defence spending.

　　Both these alternatives ignore the unique nature of the economic problem before us. It is not simply a matter of markets or financing. The new technology allows vastly increased production for those able to master it. But it also threatens those who fail to adopt it with permanent second-class citizenship in the world economy. If an industry

　　cannot lever itself up to the leading stage of technological advances, then it will not be able to compete effectively. If it cannot do this, no amount of government protectionism or access to foreign markets can keep it profitable for long. Without the profits and experience of technological excellence to reinvest, that industry can only fall still further behind its foreign competitors.

　　So the crux is the technology and that is where the President’s program focused. The danger is not that a plan will not be passed, it is that the ideologues of right and left will distort the bill with amendments that will blur its focus on technology. The economic restructuring plan should be passed intact. If we fail to restructure our economy now, we may not get a second chance.

　　1. The focus of the President’s program is on

　　[A] investment.

　　[B] economy.

　　[C] technology.

　　[D] tax.

　　2. What is the requirement of the most liberal wing of the Democratic-party?

　　[A] They want a more direct action.

　　[B] They want an incomes policy to check inflation.

　　[C] They want to rebuild industry.

　　[D] They want a wall of protective tariffs.

　　3. What is the editor’s attitude?

　　[A] support.

　　[B] distaste.

　　[C] Disapproval.

　　[D] Compromise.

　　4. The danger to the plan lies in

　　[A] the two parties’ objection.

　　[B] different idea of the two parties about the plan.

　　[C] its passage.

　　[D] distortion.

　　5. The passage is

　　[A] a review.

　　[B] a preface.

　　[C] a advertisement.

　　[D] an editorial.
