Passage 1 （选自大纲样题）

When We Are Asleep

① Everyone dreams, but some people never recall their dreams, or do so very rarely. Other people always wake up with vivid recollections（回忆）of their dreams, though they forget them very quickly. In an average night of eight hours‘ sleep, an average adult will dream for around one hundred minutes, probably having three to five dreams, each lasting from ten to thirty minutes.

② Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which measures the electrical waves in the brain. During dreaming, these waves move more quickly. Breathing and pulse rate also increase, and there are rapid eye movements under the eye lids, just as though the dreamer were really looking at some moving objects. These signs of dreaming have been detected in all mammals studied, including dogs, monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles（爬行动物). This period of sleep is called the ―D‖ state. Babies experience the ―D‖ state for around 50% of their sleep; the period reduces to around 25% by the age of 10.

③ Dreams take the form of stories, but they may be strange and with incidents not closely connected, which make little sense. Dreams are seldom without people in them and they are usually about people we know. One estimate says that two-thirds of the ―cast‖ of our dream dramas are friends and relations. Vision seems an essential part of dreams, except for people blind from birth. Sound and touch are senses also often aroused, but smell and taste are not frequently involved. In ―normal‖ dreams, the dreamer may be taking part, or be only an observer. But he or she cannot control what happens in the dream.

④ However, the dreamer does have control over one type of dream. This type of dream is called a ―lucid‖ （清醒的) dream. Not everyone is a lucid dreamer. Some people are occasional lucid dreamers. Others can dream lucidly more or less all the time. In a lucid dream, the dreamer knows that he is dreaming.

1. Some people dream but cannot remember their dreams. A. True B. False C. Not Given 【答案】A

【解析】根据第一段的第一句话Everyone dreams, but some people never recall their dreams, or do so very rarely.可知，该说法正确。注意题干表述是对原文某些句子的同义转述，如cannot代替了never，remember代替了recall。

2. In an average night of eight hours‘ sleep, males dream longer than females. A. True B. False C. Not Given 【答案】C

【解析】根据题干中的in an average night of eight hours‘ sleep可以快速定位在第一段的第三句话：In an average night of eight hours‘ sleep, an average adult will dream for around one hundred minutes, probably having three to five dreams, each lasting from ten to thirty minutes.这里没有对男性和女性做梦的时间进行对比，故应该选择“没有提及”。

3. When we dream, there is less movement of electrical waves in our brains. A. True B. False C. Not Given 【答案】B 【解析】根据题干中的electrical waves in our brains 可以快速定位在第二段的前两句话：Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which measures the electrical waves in the brain. During dreaming, these waves move more quickly.

4. Without the help of instruments, scientists cannot tell whether someone is dreaming or not. A. True B. False C. Not Given 【答案】B

【解析】根据题干中的instruments可以定位在第二段，前三句话：Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which measures the electrical waves in the brain. During dreaming, these waves move more quickly. Breathing and pulse rate also increase, and there are rapid eye movements under the eye lids, just as though the dreamer were really looking at some moving objects.此处列举了科学家判断人是否做梦时的依据。这里明确指出需要借助仪器的是检测脑电波，而观察呼吸、心跳和眼动，不一定要借助仪器。因此，并不是没有仪器，科学家就无法判断一个人是否做梦。

5. Only mammals have dreams when they are asleep. A. True B. False C. Not Given 【答案】B 【解析】根据题干中的mammals可以定位在第二段的第四句话These signs of dreaming have been detected in all mammals studied, including dogs, monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles（爬行动物).从句子结构and also…可以判断also后的birds和reptiles不属于mammals的范围，这三个名词并列。

小贴士：过于绝对的说法往往是错误的，如含有only, all, any, must, always, completely, entirely等的句子要仔细斟酌。

6. Babies dream less than older children. A. True B. False C. Not Given 【答案】B

【解析】根据题干中的babies可以定位在第二段的最后两句话：This period of sleep is called the ―D‖ state. Babies experience the ―D‖ state for around 50% of their sleep; the period reduces to around 25% by the age of 10.此处this period of sleep…和上句，即These signs of dreaming have been detected in all mammals studied, including dogs, monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles.中的主语these signs of dreaming是顺承关系，故this period of sleep就是dreaming，―D‖ state就是“做梦的时候”。最后一句讲到婴儿睡眠时间的50%都是―D‖ state，到了10岁后就下降到了25%。很显然，婴儿做梦比较大的孩子要多而不是less。

7. Most dreams involve the people we played with when we were young. A. True B. False C. Not Given 【答案】C

【解析】本题是关于梦境的内容，可以定位在第三段前半部分Dreams take the form of stories, but they may be strange and with incidents not closely connected, whi …… 此处隐藏：15578字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
