Passage One Researchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement. There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly. Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams. 61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night? A. Once B. Twice C. Four of five times D. Forty times 62. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following? A. heavier. B. louder. C. stronger. D. happier. 63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep? A. His eyes begin to move. B. His breathing becomes faster. C. His heart rate increases. D. His eyes stop moving. 64. The subject of this passage is ________. A. why people sleep B. the human need for REM sleep C. the characteristic of REM sleep D. physical changes in the human body 65.

What Happens to Sleepers Passage Two The Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story-and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them. 66. What is suppssed to have happened in 1719? A. Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories. B. Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories. C. The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French. D. Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories. 67. Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________. A. a real person B. a book written by a little old woman C. a collection by Elizabeth Vergoose D. a translation from French 68. When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______. A. no story of the book had been known to people B. some stories of the book were already well known C. few people were interested in the stories of the book D. stories like “Sleeping Beau
