What is a dream?
For centuries, people have wondered about the strange places that they seem to visit in their sleep.   1 However, they have been valued as necessary to a person's health and happiness.
Historically people thought dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams scientifically believing that they tell about a person's character. 2  He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable in real life.
The second theory to become popular was Carl Jung's compensation theory. Jung, a former student of Freud, said that the purpose of a dream is not to hide something, but rather to communicate it to the dreamer.  3 Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may  dream about falling; those who think too little of themselves dream of being heroes.
Using more recent research, William Domhoff from the University of California found that  dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop in humans. , 4  Until they reach age  five, they can not express very well what their dreams are about. Once people become adults,  there is little or no change in their dreams. The dreams of men and women differ. For instance,
The characters that appear in the dreams of men are often  other men, and often involve physical aggression.
The meaning of dreams continues to be difficult to understand.  5  If you dream that a loved one is going to die, do not panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that your loved one is going to die.
A．Dreams make up for what is lacking in waking life.
B．However, people should not take their dreams as reality.
C．They have been considered as meaningless nighttime journeys.
D．It gives scientists chances to better understand human mind.
E．Children do not dream as much as adults.
F．They think their mind is trying to tell them something.
G．First, there was Sigmund Freud’s theory.

小題1:C
小題2:G
小題3:A
小題4:E
小題5:B

試題分析：本文分析了人們的夢境的真實(shí)性以及很多人對猛的看法和觀點(diǎn)。
小題1:C 根據(jù)下句However, they have been valued as necessary to a person's health and happiness.然而這些夢也被認(rèn)為是人們健康的必要事物。根據(jù)這里的however轉(zhuǎn)折說明前面一句內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是人們也許會認(rèn)為夢是沒有意義的事情，故C項(xiàng)符合上下文。
小題2:G 根據(jù)隔一行的The second theory to become popular was Carl Jung's c可知應(yīng)該是第一點(diǎn)，故G項(xiàng)符合上下文。
小題3:A 根據(jù)下句hus, people who think too highly of themselves may  dream about falling;對自己有很高評價(jià)的人在夢境里也許會遭遇失敗。說明A項(xiàng)夢境彌補(bǔ)了在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中所缺少的東西。故A正確。
小題4:E 根據(jù)下句Until they reach age  five,直到五歲，說明這里敘述的是孩子的話題。故E項(xiàng)符合上下文。
小題5:B 根據(jù)下句If you dream that a loved one is going to die, do not panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that your loved one is going to die.說明我們不要把夢境當(dāng)成真的事情，故B下符合上下文。
點(diǎn)評：此類文章重在把握上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系，通過前后的意思連貫性及細(xì)致性用心的答題，定能完成的很好。

Manager,
I am an exchange student from China. Yesterday, I went to your cinema to see a film. The film was very well, but I did not enjoy it because there were some problem in the cinema.
First, the film was delayed as there were so much advertisements at the beginning. It was rather annoyed. Second, the sound of the film was too loud that I could hardly bear. The EXIT signs could not be seen clearly, which presented potential safety hazards. If something terribly should happen, it will be difficult for people to get out quickly.
As a visitor to your city, I’m disappointed with my experience in your cinema. I am writing a letter in the hope that you can consider about these problems and make some improvement.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again,  1 . Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously.  2 , he really means that he does not give it enough opportunities to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two people, one of whom exercise his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak,  3 . But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means—practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can?  4 ? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
  5 , learn from the poor; practice remembering.
A．So if you want a good memory
B．When someone else says that his memory is poor
C．When someone else says that he is poor in health
D．Why is this
E. What is this
F. we know that it is his own fault
G. they slowly become strong again
