2.Text 3Of all the components of a good night’s sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control. In dreams, a window opens into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak. A century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears; by the late 1970s, neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just “mental noise” -- the random byproducts of the neural-repair work that goes on during sleep. Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind’s emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is “off-line.” And one leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better, “It’s your dream,” says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of psychology at Chicago’s Medical Center. “If you don’t like it, change it.”Evidence from brain imaging supports this view. The brain is as active during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep -- when most vivid dreams occur -- as it is when fully awake, says Dr, Eric Nofzinger at the University of Pittsburgh. But not all parts of the brain are equally involved; the limbic system (the “emotional brain”) is especially active, while the prefrontal cortex (the center of intellect and reasoning) is relatively quiet. “We wake up from dreams happy or depressed, and those feelings can stay with us all day.” says Stanford sleep researcher Dr. William Dement.The link between dreams and emotions show up among the patients in Cartwright’s clinic. Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier ones before awakening, suggesting that they are working through negative feelings generated during the day. Because our conscious mind is occupied with daily life we don’t always think about the emotional significance of the day’s events -- until, it appears, we begin to dream.And this process need not be left to the unconscious. Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams. As soon as you awaken, identify what is upsetting about the dream. Visualize how you would like it to end instead; the next time is occurs, try to wake up just enough to control its course. With much practice people can learn to, literally, do it in their sleep.At the end of the day, there’s probably little reason to pay attention to our dreams at all unless they keep us from sleeping or “we waken up in a panic,” Cartwright says. Terrorism, economic uncertainties and general feelings of insecurity have increased people’s anxiety. Those suffering from persistent nightmares should seek help from a therapist. For the rest of us, the brain has its ways of working through bad feelings. Sleep -- or rather dream -- on it and you’ll feel better in the morning.31. Researchers have come to believe that dreams ________.[A] can be modified in their courses[B] are susceptible to emotional changes[C] reflect our innermost desires and fears[D] are a random outcome of neural repairs

4.A dream is one kind of experience.It seems as real as something that actually happens; in it the dreamer takes actions and reacts.During dreams the body is asleep but the thinking part of the brain is wide awake.In fact, it is more active than it sometimes is when the body is awake.One group of researchers decided to see what would happen if they stopped people from dreaming.As soon as the electroencephalograph (脑电图仪) registered a dream pattern, researchers woke the dreamer.They did this all night for several nights, every time the person started to dream.The experiment revealed that people who were unable to dream became nervous, easily upset, and hungrier.As soon as they were able to sleep without interruptions they lost their nervousness and became normal again; however, they then had more dreams than usual.It was as if they were catching up on their dreams.To check these findings, the researchers carried on a control experiment.Again they woke people during the night, but during non-dreaming periods.These people did not change their daytime behavior.And when they were allowed to sleep without interruptions (打断), the number of their dreams did not increase.Experiments like these have caused scientists to ask if dreams serve a purpose.Researchers know, for example, that some people who go for days without sleep will suffer from hallucinations (幻觉).Certain people even begin to show signs of mental illness.Some researchers believe that people become this way because they cannot have their usual numbers of dreams.According to this theory dreaming helps people to lead normal lives.1).This passage is mainly about ________.A.people’s need for dreamsB.the damage dreams do to people’s healthC.dreams and realitiesD.the relationship between dreams and diseases2).According to the passage, dreams ________ .A.are considered to be people’s real experiencesB.help cure people of nervousness and mental illnessC.happen in the thinking part of the brainD.cannot go on as before after the dreamer is woken3).People who slept with interrupted dreams showed signs of the following sufferings EXCEPT________ .A.nervousnessB.anxietyC.hungerD.sleepiness4).When people were woken during non-dreaming periods, they ________.A.suffered from hallucinationsB.felt upset and nervousC.had more dreams than usualD.remained normal in their daytime behavior5).The sentence “It was as if they were catching up on their dreams” in Para.3 probably means ________.A.they seemed to do as their dreams dad told them toB.they seemed to make up for the losses of dreamsC.they seemed to dream less because of the interruptionsD.they seemed to sleep more after the interruptions

    Owls and Larks
    1 In this article,we look at the importance of sleep for learning. Most healthy adults need eight or more hours of sleep. But why do we need sleep in the first place?We need sleep for the brain to get a chance to rebuild memories stored during the day and associate these with previously learned things. If this process is interrupted by,say,the sound of an alarm clock,it may not be as effective. So if your sleep is cut short by the alarm clock,how dama- ging is it?The truth is that it's difficult to predict,as so much depends on how much sleep your body actually needs on that particular occasion.
    2 The popular belief that people are naturally either larks(early risers)or owls is false. The reason why people tend to be one or the other has more to do with lifestyle,age,and personality. Many people who appear to be early birds may have just become so through hab- it,for example,parents with very young children. Teenagers can have difficulty falling asleep until late at night and then they naturally have problems getting up the following morning.
    3 The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book, movie,or computer game till the early hours of the morning. They enjoy the quiet of the night when they can pursue their passion. On the other hand,larks can make better use of early morning hours where they can study in quiet at the time when their brains are most refreshed. So which is better for learning一an owl's or a lark's lifestyle?The simple truth is that it is more complex than simply being one or the other. Leading a well-balanced life in terms of work and play and sleeping enough to bring maximum refreshment is probably the secret.
    4 As for naps, experts on insomnia(失眠)argue against taking naps, as these may keep people up at night. If your nap lasts only five minutes to half an hour and does not affect your ability to fall asleep in the night,it will probably help you be more alert in evening hours.
    However,if you are having problems getting to sleep at night,it's not only naps that you should avoid. Try not to drink a lot of alcohol, take nicotine(尼古丁) , do mentally intense activities like preparing for exams or doing exercise in the evening. Some people swear that drinking coffee never stops them from sleeping like a log,whereas others will never go near the stuff for fear of being awake all night. However,the best advice for most is to avoid it in the evening,and if you drink coffee before a nap,remember you are likely to awaken as soon as the caffeine starts kicking in.

    A good lifestyle means one can______.
    A: sleep enough to bring most refreshment
    B: keep away from coffee in the evening
    C: stay up till the early hours of the morning
    D: get up quite early
    E: store memories in the brain
    F: rebuild memories stored during the day

    答案:A
    解析:
    段落中含有明显段落主题词sleep“睡眠”,因此B(包含sleep一词),D(包含 sleep一词)和F(F中的asleep“睡着的”与sleep“睡眠”意义呼应)可能是答案。比较这几个选项:B项“我们需要多少睡眠?”,D项“为什么我们需要睡觉?”, F项“什么帮助我们入睡?”。段落开头部分(段落第三句)直接提出问题“我们为什么需要睡觉呢?”接下来的句子对这个问题进行了回答:我们需要睡觉来使大脑有机会重建白天存储的记忆并把这些记忆和以前所学的东西联系起来。如果睡眠过程被打断,就不能进行有效的记忆存储。由此可见该段主要是在讨论和分析“我们为什么需要睡觉”这个问题,因此答案D项。
    段落中没有出现明显的段落主题词。段首陈述了一种普遍存在的观念,但是作者认为这是错误的看法:人们天生是云雀(早起的人)或是猫头鹰(晚睡的人)。接下来分析原因,解释为什么这样的看法不正确:究竟人们是早起的人还是晚睡的人主要与生活方式,年纪和个性相关。接下来的句子是以生活习惯为例进行进一步的分析。由此可见该段主要内容是在讨论和分析“造成人们早起或晚睡的原因”,因此答案为E项。
    段落中反复提到owl和lark,因此这两个词可能是该段主题词,因此选项C 可能是答案。从整个段落的内容来看,段落一开始分析了为什么有的人习惯晚睡,接下来对比分析了为什么有的人习惯早起,接下来提出问题:是早起好还是晚睡好? 对于这个问题作者没有直接进行回答,而是提出“根据自己的工作,娱乐过着充实的生活而且有充足的睡眠让你的精力充沛才是关键”,由此可见整个段落主要围绕“是早起好还是晚睡好?”这个问题展 开进行讨论,因此答案为C项。
    在段落前面部分nap“午睡”一词反复出现,段落开头部分是关于nap的建议:失眠专家建议不要午睡。段落后面部分也提出了一些建议:不要喝很多酒,不要抽烟,不要喝咖啡。由此可见整个段落在讲述为了获得良好的睡眠应该注意避免的事物。因此答案为 A项“我们应该避免什么?”
    题干意为“睡眠帮助大脑……”。利用题干中的细节信息词sleep和brain作为定位线索,在第一段中找到相关句:In this article, we look at the importance of sleep for learning. Most healthy adults need eight or more hours of sleep.But why do we need sleep in the first place?We need sleep for the brain to get a chance to rebuild memories stored during the day and associate these with previously learned things.If this process is interrupted by, say,the sound of an alarm clock,it may not be as effective. So if your sleep is cut short by the alarm clock,how damaging is it?The truth is that it's difficult to predict,as so much depends on how much sleep your body actually needs on that particular occasion.定位线索词集中出现在第一段第四句中,该句意为“我们需要通过睡眠来帮助大脑有机会重建在白天存储的记忆”。由此可知答案为F项“重建在白天存储的记忆”。
    题干意为“要照顾小孩子的父母往往……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语parents, very young children作为定位线索,在第二段找到相关句:The popular belief that people are naturally either larks(early risers)or owls is false. The reason why people tend to be one or the other has more to do with lifestyle,age,and personality. Many people who appear to be early birds may have just become so through habit,for example,parents with very young children. Teenagers can have difficulty falling asleep until late at night and then they naturally have problems getting up the following morning.定位线索词集中出现在第二段倒数第二句中,该句意为“很多早起的人之所以早起是因为习惯,例如,要照顾小孩子的父母”。由此可知要照顾小孩子的父母习惯早起,因此D项“起得很早”是答案。
    题干意为“一种好的生活方式意味着一个人会……”。利用题干中的细节信息短语a good lifestyle作为定位线索,在短文第三段中找到相关句:The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book,movie,or computer game till the early hours of the morning. They enjoy the quiet of the night when they can pursue their passion.On the other hand,larks can make better use of early morning hours where they can study in quiet at the time when their brains are most refreshed. So which is better for learn-ing一an owl's or a lark's lifestyle?The simple truth is that it is more complex than simply being one or the other. Leading a well-balanced life(与a good lifestyle呼应)in terms of work and play and sleeping enough to bring maximum refreshment is probably the secret.定位线索词出现在第三段最后一句,斌句提到“过一种兼顾工作和娱乐的均衡生活,让充足的睡眠为你带来充沛的精力是关键”。由此可知兼顾工作和娱乐的均衡生活,即拥有一种好的生活方式意味着有带来充沛精力的充足睡眠,因此该题答案为A项“睡眠充足以获得充沛的精力”。
    题干意为“忠告大多数人……”。利用题干中的细节信息短语good advice和 most people作为定位线索,在最后一段中找到相关句:As for naps, experts on insomnia(失眠)argue against taking naps,as these may keep people up at night.If your nap lasts only five minutes to half an hour and does not affect your ability to fall asleep in the night,it will probably help you be more alert in evening hours.However,if you are having problems get-ting to sleep at night,it's not only naps that you should avoid.

    interrupted by,say,the sound of an alarm clock,it may not be as effective.So if your sleep is cut short by the
    alarm clock,how damaging is it?The truth is that it's difficult to predict,as so much depends on how much
    sleep your body actually needs on that particular occasion.
    2 The popular belief that people are naturally either larks(early risers)or owls is false.The reason
    why people tend to be one or the other has more to do with lifestyle,age,and personality.Many people who
    appear to be early birds may have just become so through habit,for example,parents with very young chil-
    dren.Teenagers can have difficulty falling asleep until late at night and then they naturally have problems
    getting up the following morning.
    3 The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book,movie,or corn-
    puter game till the early hours of the morning.They enjoy the quiet of the night when they can pursue their
    passion.On the other hand,larks can make better use of early morning hours where they can study in quiet at
    the time when their brains are most refreshed.So which is better for learning一an owl's or a lark's lifestyle?
    The simple truth is that it is more complex than simply being one or the other. Leading a well-balanced life in
    terms of work and play and sleeping enough to bring maximum refreshment is probably the secret.
    4 As for naps , experts on insomnia(失眠)argue against taking naps , as these may keep people up at
    night. If your nap lasts only five minutes to haff an hour and does not affect your ability to fall asleep in the
    night,it will probably help you be more alert in evening hours.However,if you are having problems getting to
    sleep at night , it's not only naps that you should avoid. Try not to drink a lot of alcohol , take nicotine(尼古
    丁),do mentally intense activities like preparing for exams or doing exercise in the evening. Some people
    swear that drinking coffee never stops them from sleeping like a log,whereas others will never go near the
    stuff for fear of being awake all night.However,the best advice for most is to avoid it in the evening,and if
    you drink coffee before a nap,remember you are likely to awaken as soon as the caffeine starts kicking in.

    Parents with very young children tend to________.
    A:stay up till the early hours of the morning
    B:sleep enough to bring most refreshment
    C:rebuild memories stored during the day
    D:store memories in the brain
    E:get up quite early
    F: keen away from coffee in the evening

    答案:E
    解析:
    该段第三句提到了主题句“我们为什么要把睡眠放在第一位呢?",后面讲述了原因。 故选E。
    该段主要讲述了人们成为猫头鹰型和云雀型的原因。故选D。
    该段倒数第二句提到事实上,事情没有简单地成为猫头鹰型或云雀型那么容易。故A 项与本段内容相符。
    由该段倒数第一句中的“However , the best advice for most is to avoid it in the evening”可 知选B。
    第一段第三句提到睡眠让大脑有了重建一天里所存记忆的机会,可知选C。
    第二段第三句提到很多人成了早起的鸟儿,如:有小孩的母亲。故E项正确。
    从第三段最后一句“Leading a well-balanced life … to bring maximum refreshment…”可舞 选B。
    第四段倒数第一句中的“it”指代的是前面提到的“coffee",故选F。

  • 第8题:

    There is no creature that does not need sleep or complete rest every day.
    If you want to know why,just try going without sleep for a long period of time.You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work properly.You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work.So sleep is quite simply the time when the ceils of?your body recover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.
    One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are Unconscious in sleep,We do not know what is going on around us.But that do.esn′t mean the body stops all activity.The important organs continue to work during sleep,but most of the body functions are slowed down.
    For example,our breathing becomes slower and deeper.The heart beats more slowly,and the blood pressure is lower.Our arms and legs become limp(柔软的)and muscles are at rest.It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake.So sleep does for us what the?most quiet rest can not do.
    Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep,which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers.And even though you are unconscious,many of your reflexes(反射动作)still work.For instance,if someone tickles(使觉得痒)your foot,you will put it away in your sleep,or even brush a fly from your forehead.You do these things without knowing it.

    In the clause"...that we are unconscious in sleep"(Pam.3),the word"unconscious"means__________.

    A.untiring
    B.unmoved
    C.quiet
    D.not knowing what is happening around

    答案:D
    解析:
    【考情点拨】词语理解题。【应试指导】本句出现于文章的第三段第一句,接下来的一句是对unconscious一词的进一步解释,即not knowing what is going on around US。

  • 第9题:

    资料:Dream is a story that a person watches or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer's life. They seem real while they are takingplace. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening. Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.
    Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color. But persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.
    Dreams are a product of the sleeper's mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Deep wishes or fears-especially those held since childhood-often appear in dream. and many dreams fulfil such wishes. Events in the sleeper's surrounding-a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.
    Some dreams involve deep feeling that a person may realize he has. Psychiatrists often use material from a patient’s dreams to help the person understand himself better.
    Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory, and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep-but are awakened each time they begin to dream-become anxious and restless.

    This passage is mainly about______.

    Kicking the Habit

    What is a bad habit?The most common definition is that it is something that we do regularly,almost
    without thinking about it,and which has some sort of negative consequence.This consequence could affect
    those around us,or it could affect us personally.Those who deny having bad habits are probably lying. Bad
    habits are part of what makes us human.
    Many early habits,like sucking our thumb,are broken when we are very young.We are either told to
    stop doing it by our parents,or we consciously or subconsciously observe that others do not have the same
    habit,and we gradually grow out of it.It is when we intentionally or unintentionally pick up new habits in
    our later childhood or early adulthood that it becomes a problem.Unless we can break that habit early on,it
    becomes a part of our life,and becomes"programmed"into our brain.
    A recent study of human memory suggests that no matter how hard we try to change our habits,it is the
    old ways that tend to win,especially in situations where we are rushed,stressed or overworked.Habits that
    we thought we had got rid of can suddenly come back.During the study programme,the researchers showed
    a group of volunteers several pictures,and gave them words to associate with them.They then showed the
    volunteers the same pictures again,and gave them new words to associate with them.
    A few days later,the volunteers were given a test.The researchers showed them the pictures,and told
    them to respond with one of the words they had been given for each one.It came as no surprise that their an-
    swers were split between the first set of words and the second.Two weeks later,they were given the same test

    again.This time,most of them only gave the first set of. words.They appeared to have completely forgotten
    the second set.
    The study confirms that the responses we learn first are those that remain strongest over time.We may
    try to change our ways,hut after a while,the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we
    learned.The more that response is used,the more automatic it becomes and the harder it becomes to respond
    in any other way.
    The study therefore suggests that over time,our had habits also become automatic,learned behavior.
    This is not good news for people who picked up bad habits early in life and now want to change or break
    them.Even when we try to put new,good intentions into practice,those previously learned habits remain
    stronger in more automatic,unconscious forms of memory.

    If we develop bad habits early in life,they are harder to get rid of.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    文章第二段讲到,一些早期的习惯,像吮吸手指之类的习惯在我们很小的时候就戒掉 了。并没有说男孩子们在小时候通常会染上坏习惯。故选C。
    在文章第二段中,作者指出我们之所以能戒掉早期的坏习惯是因为有父母告诉我们不 要这样做,或者是我们有意或无意地观察到别人都不这样做。文章中并没有说我们戒掉坏习 惯的唯一方法是别人的告知。故选B。
    文章第三段讲到,最近一项关于人类记洲忆力的研究表明不管我们如何努力地尝试着改 变坏习惯,坏习惯还是难以戒掉,特别是在我们忙碌,紧张或是过度劳累的时候,我们认为已经 戒掉的坏习惯就会突然跑回来。故选A。
    由文章第四段第三句话“It came as no surprise that...“,可知研究者对测试结果毫不奇 怪,在他们意料之中。故选B。
    文章第四段讲到,两个星期后,这些被测试者重新做相同的测试。大多数人只能给出 第一组的单词,好像他们完全忘了第二组单词。文章中并未提到被测试者发现第二次测试要 难一些。故选C。
    文章倒数第一二段指出,这一研究证实了这一点,我们第一次学到的反应方式在一段时 间后仍然在我们脑海里留下最深印象、尽管我们试图去改变,但一段时间后,首先出现在脑海 的还是我们第一次学到的反应方式。文章中并未提到研究表明对我们最先学习的那些东西做 出反应更加困难。故选C。
    文章最后一段讲到,研究表明在一段时间后,坏习惯会变成无章识的习得性行为。这 对那些在年轻时就染上坏习惯而现在想要戒掉的人们来说不是个好消息。也就是说,年轻时 染上的坏习惯很难戒掉。故选A。

  • 第16题:

    Common Questions about Dreams
    Does everyone dream ?
    Yes. Research shows that we all dream. We have our most vivid dreams during a type of sleep called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. During REM sleep, the brain is very active. The eyes move quickly back and forth under the lids, and the large muscles of the body are relaxed. REM sleep occurs every 90-100 minutes, three to four times a night, and it lasts longer as the night goes on. ___1___ We dream at other times during the night, too, but those dreams are less vivid.
    Do people remember their dreams ?
    A few people remember their dreams. However, most people forget nearly everything that happened during the night — dreams, thoughts, and the short periods of time when they were awake. ___2___ It seems that the memory of the dream is not totally lost, but for some reason it is very hard to bring it back. If you want to remember your dream,the best thing to do is to write it down as soon as you wake up.
    Are dreams in color ?
    Most dreams are in color. However, people may not be aware of it for two reasons : They don’t usually remember the details of their dreams, or they don’t notice the color because it is such a natural part of our lives. ___3___
    Do dreams have meaning ?
    Scientists continue to debate this issue. ___4___ Some people use dreams to help them learn more about their feelings, thoughts, behavior, motives, and values. Others find that dreams can help them solve problems. It’s also true that artists, writers, and scientists often get creative ideas from dreams.
    How can I learn to understand my dreams ?
    The most important thing to remember is that your dreams are personal. The people, actions, and situations in your dreams reflect your experience, your thoughts, and your feelings. Some dream experts believe that there are certain types of dreams that many people have,even if they come from different cultures or time periods. Usually, however, the same dream will have different meanings for different people. For example, an elephant in a dream may mean one thing to a zookeeper and something very different to a child whose favorite toy is a stuffed elephant. ___5___ Then look for links between your dreams and what is happening in your daily life. If you think hard and you are patient, perhaps the meaning of your dreams will become clearer to you.

    练习:
    A However, people who spend time thinking about their dreams believe that they are meaningful and useful.
    B The final REM period may last as long as 45 minutes.
    C People who are very aware of color when they are awake probably notice color more often in their dreams.
    D Our most powerful dreams don’t happen during deep sleep.
    E To learn to understand your dreams, think about what each part of the dream means to you or reminds you of.
    F Sometimes, though, people suddenly remember a dream later in the day or on another day.


    答案:
    解析:
    1. B 文中第一部分主要介绍快速眼动睡眠期,而且前一句正好提到每晚快速眼动睡眠期的间隔时间、出现频率及其持续时间的情况。
    2. F 题目所在的前一句提到大多数人会忘记晚上所发生的几乎所有事情,而后一句中又提到人们对梦的记忆好像没有完全丢失,由此可以推断出中间这一句应该说的是人有时会记起自己的梦。
    3. C 文中第三部分提到梦是彩色的,前面主要讲的是人们可能意识不到这个问题以及意识不到的原因,由此可以推断后面应该会提到那些可以意识到这个问题的人。因此,答案为C。
    4. A 文中第四部分讲的是梦的意义,纵观六个选项与部分主题相关的只有选项A,而且后面主要提到人们会利用梦做些什么,这也就意味着人们会思考他们的梦而且相信梦是有意义的。
    5. E 由第五部分的标题就可以锁定选项E,而且后一句讲的是要寻找梦与现实的联系,正好与选项E的意思相吻合。

    关于梦的常见问题
    每个人都会做梦吗
    是的。研究表明我们都会做梦。在一种叫作快速眼动(REM)的睡眠期里,我们会有最清晰生动的梦。在这种睡眠期里,大脑非常活跃,眼睛在眼睑下面来来回回地快速移动,而且身体的大肌肉会得到放松。快速眼动睡眠期每隔90~100分钟会出现一次,一晚会出现3~4次,而且随着入夜渐深,每次持续的时间也会变长。最后一次快速眼动睡眠期可能会持续长达45分钟。我们在夜晚的其他时间段也会做梦,但是那些梦没有快速眼动睡眠期里的梦清晰生动。
    人们会记得他们的梦吗
    一些人会记得他们的梦。然而,大多数人会忘记晚上所发生的几乎所有的事——梦、思想以及他们醒着时的短暂时光。但是,有时人们会在当天晚些时候或改天突然想起他们的梦。他们对梦的记忆好像并没有完全消失,但出于某种原因却很难回忆起来。如果你想记住自己的梦,最好的办法是一醒来就把它写下来。
    梦是彩色的吗
    大多数梦是彩色的。然而,人们可能不会意识到这一点。这是基于两方面的原因:人们通常不会记住梦的细节,或者因为颜色是我们生活中的自然组成部分,所以不会注意到。那些在醒着的时候意识到颜色的人可能会更经常注意到梦的颜色。
    梦有意义吗
    科学家们不停地讨论这个问题。然而,那些花时间思考他们梦的人相信梦是有意义的、有用的。有些人借助梦更多地了解自己的情感、思想、行为、动机和价值观。其他人发现梦可以帮助自己解决问题。艺术家、作家和科学家也确实经常从梦中获得创作的灵感。
    我如何学会理解自己的梦
    要记得最重要的一点就是梦是个人的。梦里的人、行为以及情景都能反映你的经历、思想以及情感。有些梦境专家认为某些类型的梦是很多人都有的,即使他们来自不同的文化或时期。然而,通常对于不同的人,同一个梦会有不同的意义。比如,做梦梦到大象对于一个动物园管理员来说意味着一回事,而对于一个最喜欢大象毛绒玩具的小孩来说就意味着截然不同的事。为了学会理解自己的梦,首先要思考一下梦的每一部分对你意味着什么或者让你想起了什么。然后寻找梦与日常生活中所发生事情的联系。如果你认真思考而且有耐心,或许你会更清晰地理解梦的意义。

    Owls and Larks
    1 In this article,we look at the importance of sleep for learning. Most healthy adults need eight or more hours of sleep. But why do we need sleep in the first place?We need sleep for the brain to get a chance to rebuild memories stored during the day and associate these with previously learned things. If this process is interrupted by,say,the sound of an alarm clock,it may not be as effective. So if your sleep is cut short by the alarm clock,how dama- ging is it?The truth is that it's difficult to predict,as so much depends on how much sleep your body actually needs on that particular occasion.
    2 The popular belief that people are naturally either larks(early risers)or owls is false. The reason why people tend to be one or the other has more to do with lifestyle,age,and personality. Many people who appear to be early birds may have just become so through hab- it,for example,parents with very young children. Teenagers can have difficulty falling asleep until late at night and then they naturally have problems getting up the following morning.
    3 The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book, movie,or computer game till the early hours of the morning. They enjoy the quiet of the night when they can pursue their passion. On the other hand,larks can make better use of early morning hours where they can study in quiet at the time when their brains are most refreshed. So which is better for learning一an owl's or a lark's lifestyle?The simple truth is that it is more complex than simply being one or the other. Leading a well-balanced life in terms of work and play and sleeping enough to bring maximum refreshment is probably the secret.
    4 As for naps, experts on insomnia(失眠)argue against taking naps, as these may keep people up at night. If your nap lasts only five minutes to half an hour and does not affect your ability to fall asleep in the night,it will probably help you be more alert in evening hours.
    However,if you are having problems getting to sleep at night,it's not only naps that you should avoid. Try not to drink a lot of alcohol, take nicotine(尼古丁) , do mentally intense activities like preparing for exams or doing exercise in the evening. Some people swear that drinking coffee never stops them from sleeping like a log,whereas others will never go near the stuff for fear of being awake all night. However,the best advice for most is to avoid it in the evening,and if you drink coffee before a nap,remember you are likely to awaken as soon as the caffeine starts kicking in.

    Sleep helps brain to______.
    A: sleep enough to bring most refreshment
    B: keep away from coffee in the evening
    C: stay up till the early hours of the morning
    D: get up quite early
    E: store memories in the brain
    F: rebuild memories stored during the day

    答案:F
    解析:
    段落中含有明显段落主题词sleep“睡眠”,因此B(包含sleep一词),D(包含 sleep一词)和F(F中的asleep“睡着的”与sleep“睡眠”意义呼应)可能是答案。比较这几个选项:B项“我们需要多少睡眠?”,D项“为什么我们需要睡觉?”, F项“什么帮助我们入睡?”。段落开头部分(段落第三句)直接提出问题“我们为什么需要睡觉呢?”接下来的句子对这个问题进行了回答:我们需要睡觉来使大脑有机会重建白天存储的记忆并把这些记忆和以前所学的东西联系起来。如果睡眠过程被打断,就不能进行有效的记忆存储。由此可见该段主要是在讨论和分析“我们为什么需要睡觉”这个问题,因此答案D项。
    段落中没有出现明显的段落主题词。段首陈述了一种普遍存在的观念,但是作者认为这是错误的看法:人们天生是云雀(早起的人)或是猫头鹰(晚睡的人)。接下来分析原因,解释为什么这样的看法不正确:究竟人们是早起的人还是晚睡的人主要与生活方式,年纪和个性相关。接下来的句子是以生活习惯为例进行进一步的分析。由此可见该段主要内容是在讨论和分析“造成人们早起或晚睡的原因”,因此答案为E项。
    段落中反复提到owl和lark,因此这两个词可能是该段主题词,因此选项C 可能是答案。从整个段落的内容来看,段落一开始分析了为什么有的人习惯晚睡,接下来对比分析了为什么有的人习惯早起,接下来提出问题:是早起好还是晚睡好? 对于这个问题作者没有直接进行回答,而是提出“根据自己的工作,娱乐过着充实的生活而且有充足的睡眠让你的精力充沛才是关键”,由此可见整个段落主要围绕“是早起好还是晚睡好?”这个问题展 开进行讨论,因此答案为C项。
    在段落前面部分nap“午睡”一词反复出现,段落开头部分是关于nap的建议:失眠专家建议不要午睡。段落后面部分也提出了一些建议:不要喝很多酒,不要抽烟,不要喝咖啡。由此可见整个段落在讲述为了获得良好的睡眠应该注意避免的事物。因此答案为 A项“我们应该避免什么?”
    题干意为“睡眠帮助大脑……”。利用题干中的细节信息词sleep和brain作为定位线索,在第一段中找到相关句:In this article, we look at the importance of sleep for learning. Most healthy adults need eight or more hours of sleep.But why do we need sleep in the first place?We need sleep for the brain to get a chance to rebuild memories stored during the day and associate these with previously learned things.If this process is interrupted by, say,the sound of an alarm clock,it may not be as effective. So if your sleep is cut short by the alarm clock,how damaging is it?The truth is that it's difficult to predict,as so much depends on how much sleep your body actually needs on that particular occasion.定位线索词集中出现在第一段第四句中,该句意为“我们需要通过睡眠来帮助大脑有机会重建在白天存储的记忆”。由此可知答案为F项“重建在白天存储的记忆”。
    题干意为“要照顾小孩子的父母往往……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语parents, very young children作为定位线索,在第二段找到相关句:The popular belief that people are naturally either larks(early risers)or owls is false. The reason why people tend to be one or the other has more to do with lifestyle,age,and personality. Many people who appear to be early birds may have just become so through habit,for example,parents with very young children. Teenagers can have difficulty falling asleep until late at night and then they naturally have problems getting up the following morning.定位线索词集中出现在第二段倒数第二句中,该句意为“很多早起的人之所以早起是因为习惯,例如,要照顾小孩子的父母”。由此可知要照顾小孩子的父母习惯早起,因此D项“起得很早”是答案。
    题干意为“一种好的生活方式意味着一个人会……”。利用题干中的细节信息短语a good lifestyle作为定位线索,在短文第三段中找到相关句:The main reason why owls are owls is that they tend to spend their time over a book,movie,or computer game till the early hours of the morning. They enjoy the quiet of the night when they can pursue their passion.On the other hand,larks can make better use of early morning hours where they can study in quiet at the time when their brains are most refreshed. So which is better for learn-ing一an owl's or a lark's lifestyle?The simple truth is that it is more complex than simply being one or the other. Leading a well-balanced life(与a good lifestyle呼应)in terms of work and play and sleeping enough to bring maximum refreshment is probably the secret.定位线索词出现在第三段最后一句,斌句提到“过一种兼顾工作和娱乐的均衡生活,让充足的睡眠为你带来充沛的精力是关键”。由此可知兼顾工作和娱乐的均衡生活,即拥有一种好的生活方式意味着有带来充沛精力的充足睡眠,因此该题答案为A项“睡眠充足以获得充沛的精力”。
    题干意为“忠告大多数人……”。利用题干中的细节信息短语good advice和 most people作为定位线索,在最后一段中找到相关句:As for naps, experts on insomnia(失眠)argue against taking naps,as these may keep people up at night.If your nap lasts only five minutes to half an hour and does not affect your ability to fall asleep in the night,it will probably help you be more alert in evening hours.However,if you are having problems get-ting to sleep at night,it's not only naps that you should avoid.

    资料:Dream is a story that a person watches or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer's life. They seem real while they are takingplace. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening. Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.
    Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color. But persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.
    Dreams are a product of the sleeper's mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Deep wishes or fears-especially those held since childhood-often appear in dream. and many dreams fulfil such wishes. Events in the sleeper's surrounding-a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.
    Some dreams involve deep feeling that a person may realize he has. Psychiatrists often use material from a patient’s dreams to help the person understand himself better.
    Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory, and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep-but are awakened each time they begin to dream-become anxious and restless.

    Kicking the Habit

    What is a bad habit?The most common definition is that it is something that we do regularly,almost
    without thinking about it,and which has some sort of negative consequence.This consequence could affect
    those around us,or it could affect us personally.Those who deny having bad habits are probably lying. Bad
    habits are part of what makes us human.
    Many early habits,like sucking our thumb,are broken when we are very young.We are either told to
    stop doing it by our parents,or we consciously or subconsciously observe that others do not have the same
    habit,and we gradually grow out of it.It is when we intentionally or unintentionally pick up new habits in
    our later childhood or early adulthood that it becomes a problem.Unless we can break that habit early on,it
    becomes a part of our life,and becomes"programmed"into our brain.
    A recent study of human memory suggests that no matter how hard we try to change our habits,it is the
    old ways that tend to win,especially in situations where we are rushed,stressed or overworked.Habits that
    we thought we had got rid of can suddenly come back.During the study programme,the researchers showed
    a group of volunteers several pictures,and gave them words to associate with them.They then showed the
    volunteers the same pictures again,and gave them new words to associate with them.
    A few days later,the volunteers were given a test.The researchers showed them the pictures,and told
    them to respond with one of the words they had been given for each one.It came as no surprise that their an-
    swers were split between the first set of words and the second.Two weeks later,they were given the same test

    again.This time,most of them only gave the first set of. words.They appeared to have completely forgotten
    the second set.
    The study confirms that the responses we learn first are those that remain strongest over time.We may
    try to change our ways,hut after a while,the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we
    learned.The more that response is used,the more automatic it becomes and the harder it becomes to respond
    in any other way.
    The study therefore suggests that over time,our had habits also become automatic,learned behavior.
    This is not good news for people who picked up bad habits early in life and now want to change or break
    them.Even when we try to put new,good intentions into practice,those previously learned habits remain
    stronger in more automatic,unconscious forms of memory.

    Boys usually develop bad habits when they are very young.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    文章第二段讲到,一些早期的习惯,像吮吸手指之类的习惯在我们很小的时候就戒掉 了。并没有说男孩子们在小时候通常会染上坏习惯。故选C。
    在文章第二段中,作者指出我们之所以能戒掉早期的坏习惯是因为有父母告诉我们不 要这样做,或者是我们有意或无意地观察到别人都不这样做。文章中并没有说我们戒掉坏习 惯的唯一方法是别人的告知。故选B。
    文章第三段讲到,最近一项关于人类记洲忆力的研究表明不管我们如何努力地尝试着改 变坏习惯,坏习惯还是难以戒掉,特别是在我们忙碌,紧张或是过度劳累的时候,我们认为已经 戒掉的坏习惯就会突然跑回来。故选A。
    由文章第四段第三句话“It came as no surprise that...“,可知研究者对测试结果毫不奇 怪,在他们意料之中。故选B。
    文章第四段讲到,两个星期后,这些被测试者重新做相同的测试。大多数人只能给出 第一组的单词,好像他们完全忘了第二组单词。文章中并未提到被测试者发现第二次测试要 难一些。故选C。
    文章倒数第一二段指出,这一研究证实了这一点,我们第一次学到的反应方式在一段时 间后仍然在我们脑海里留下最深印象、尽管我们试图去改变,但一段时间后,首先出现在脑海 的还是我们第一次学到的反应方式。文章中并未提到研究表明对我们最先学习的那些东西做 出反应更加困难。故选C。
    文章最后一段讲到,研究表明在一段时间后,坏习惯会变成无章识的习得性行为。这 对那些在年轻时就染上坏习惯而现在想要戒掉的人们来说不是个好消息。也就是说,年轻时 染上的坏习惯很难戒掉。故选A。

    What Is a Dream?
      For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others,however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person’s mind and emotions.
      Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. (46)____
      The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud1,was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expression of a person’s wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.
      The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung2 was once a student of Freud’s. Jung,however,had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. (47)___For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.
      Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz,believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person’s daily life, thoughts, and behavior. (48)____.
      Domhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop.
      He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. (49)___This is not true of women’s dreams.3 Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modern and traditional ones.
      Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. (50)____The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It’s important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.
