听力原文: Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers, in the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.
For most of the time this conversation goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.
Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.
There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a process conversation as opposed to a content conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. It is precisely the process conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.

A reasonable observer might choose other words: obsession, fantasy. Bill possesses neither great wealth nor extensive political connections. He is an engineer and runs Stone Aerospace, a company so small that when FedEx rings, he usually signs for the package himself. So to hear Bill talk—"It's not a big leap for me to go to Jupiter. For Bill, caves are a proving ground. The experience gained there will help people explore outer space.
But now, after spending nearly three decades on the margins of the space industry, Bill is closer than he's ever been to proving that caves are the best earthly training ground for exploring space. Backed by a $5-million fund from NASA, he is developing a robot called DepthX that may turn out to be the most advanced autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) ever. NASA hopes to someday use a robot like Bill Stone's DepthX to explore Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter and one of the most probably places in our solar system to support life. Like its inventor, DepthX is a caver, most capable of searching harsh environments. Its theoretical mission, though, is bold even by Bill's standards: a hunt for extraterrestrial(地球外的) life on Europa.
Innovator Bill Stone plans to drop one of the world's most advanced underwater robots, DepthX, into the deepest hole on Earth. If all goes well, this thing just might help get him to Europa DepthX's first major field trial will take place this month in Mexico's Zacatén Cenote, the world's deepest hole. For Bill's future space ambitions to have any chance, he needs to impress the new generation of wealthy space-loving investors. To do that, he needs to ace(取得好成绩) this first trial and, at 54 years old, he needs to do it fast. As one of his oldest friends puts it, "Time is running out for Bill."
What have Bill Stone and his teams accomplished?
A.They have explored many caves and reached the deepest cave in our planet.
B.They have sponsored the National Geographic Society to explore caves.
C.They have explored the outer space and set up funds for it.
D.They }rave explored and measured the deepest gave in Jupiter.

听力原文: A unique laboratory at the University of Chicago is busy only at night. It is a dream laboratory where researchers are at work studying dreamers. Their findings have revealed that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night, although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams.
While the subjects--usually students--sleep, special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of a dream. Surprisingly, all subjects sleep soundly.
Observers report that a person usually fidgets before a dream. Once the dream has started, his body relaxes and his eyes become more active, as if the curtain had gone up on a show. As soon as the machine indicates that the dream is over, a buzzer wakes the sleeper. He sits up, records his dream, and goes back to sleep--perhaps to dream some more.
Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream, he can usually recall the entire dream. If he is allowed to sleep even five more minutes, his memory of the dream will have faded.
