Of all thecomponents of a good night’s sleep, dreams seem to be least
within our control. In dreams, awindow opens into a world where logic is
suspended and dead people speak. Acentury ago, Freud formulated his
revolutionary theory that dreams were thedisguised shadows of our unconscious
desires and fears; by the late 1970s,neurologists had switched to thinking of
them as just “mental noise”—the randombyproducts of the neural-repair work that
goes on during sleep. Now researcherssuspect that dreams are part of the mind’s
emotionalthermostat, regulating moods while the brain is “off-line。” And
oneleading authority says that, these intensely powerful mental events can be
notonly harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us
sleepand feel better. “It’s your dream,” says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of
psychology at Chicago’s MedicalCenter. “If you don’t like it, change it。”
Evidence from brain imaging supports this view. The brain is asactive
during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep—when most vividdreams occur—as it is when
fully awake, says Dr. Eric Nofzinger at the Universityof Pittsburgh. But not all
parts of the brain are equally involved; the limbicsystem (the “emotional
brain”) is especially active, while the prefrontal cortex (the center
ofintellect and reasoning) is relatively quiet. “We wake up fromdreams happy or
depressed, and those feelings can stay with us all day”， saysStanford sleep
researcher Dr. William Dement。
The link between dreams and emotions shows up among the patients
inCartwright’s clinic. Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in
thenight, progressing toward happier ones before awakening, suggesting that
theyare working through negative feelings generated during the day. Because
ourconscious mind is occupied with daily life we don’t always think aboutthe
emotional significance of the day’s events—until, itappears, we begin to
dream。
And this process need not be left to the unconscious. Cartwrightbelieves
one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams. As soonas you
awaken, identify what is upsetting about the dream. Visualize how youwould like
it to end instead; the next time it occurs, try to wake up justenough 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 littlereason to pay attention to
our dreams at all unless they keep us from sleepingor “we wake up in a panic,”
Cartwright says. Terrorism, economic uncertainties and generalfeelings of
insecurity have increased people’s anxiety. Thosesuffering from persistent
nightmares should seek help from a therapist. For therest of us, the brain has
its ways of working through bad feelings. Sleep—or ratherdream—on it and you’ll
feel better in the morning。
31. Researchers have come to believe that dreams
can be modified in their courses。
are susceptible to emotional changes。
reflect our innermost desires and fears。
are a random outcome of neural repairs。
32. By referring to the limbic system, the author intends to show
its function in our dreams。
the mechanism of REM sleep。
the relation of dreams to emotions。
its difference from the prefrontal cortex。
33. The negative feelings generated during the day tend to
aggravate in our unconscious mind。
develop into happy dreams。
persist till the time we fall asleep。
show up in dreams early at night。
34. Cartwright seems to suggest that
waking up in time is essential to the ridding of bad dreams。
visualizing bad dreams helps bring them under control。
dreams should be left to their natural progression。
dreams may not entirely belong to the unconscious。
35. What advice might Cartwright give to those who sometimes havebad
dreams?
Lead your life as usual。
Seek professional help。
Exercise conscious control。
Avoid anxiety in the daytime。
解析
31. Researchers have come to believe that dreams 研究人员已经逐步相信梦
can be modified in their courses. 可以在过程中被修改。
are susceptible to emotional changes. 容易受到情感变化的影响。
reflect our innermost desires and fears. 反应我们内心的欲望与恐惧。
are a random outcome of neural repairs. 是神经修复的随机结果。
【答案】 A
【考点】 事实细节题。
【分析】
题干关键词“researcher”在第一段第四句出现，而在此之前，作者主要介绍了过去有关梦的定义，包括“Freud”(弗洛伊德)以及“20世纪70年代神经学家”的说法。第四句开始，文章作者提到了当代的研究者的观点“梦可以调节人的情绪，梦不仅可以被驾驭，还可以有意识地对其进行控制，梦可以改变。”通过这样的一个分析比较归纳，考生应该能够比较容易地得出这个正确答案。选项属于干扰项，但是出题人故意偷梁换柱，将梦影响情绪说成情绪影响梦。选项是“Freud”的理论，选项是70年代的理论。
32. By referring to the limbic system, the author intends to show
作者提及边缘系统是为了说明
its function in our dreams. 它在我们梦中的功能。
the mechanism of REM sleep. 快速眼睛运动睡眠的机制。
the relation of dreams to emotions. 梦和情绪的关系。
its difference from the prefrontal cortex.. 它和前额皮层的区别。
【答案】 C
【考点】 推断题。
【分析】
在第二段第三句中可以找到边缘系统及其含义，然后根据上下文谈论的内容，如上文的“情感大脑”和下文的专家的话，从而判断出答案是选项。其他的三项，文中提到“边缘系统属于情感大脑”，但是并没有说它在梦中的功能，所以选项不正确。文中对快速眼睛运动睡眠只不过给了个简单的词汇解释，并没有对其机制进行任何的讲解，故选项扩大了范围。文中提到“前额皮层”，说它是智力和推理中心，但是没有讲解它和边缘系统的关系，所以选项也属于典型的无中生有型干扰项。
33. The negative feelings generated during the day tend to
白天产生的负面的情绪趋于
aggravate in our unconscious mind. 在潜意识里面加剧。
develop into happy dreams. 演变成快乐的梦。
persist till the time we fall asleep. 一直持续到我们睡着。
show up in dreams early at night. 在夜间早些时候出现在梦里。
【答案】 D
【考点】 事实细节题。
【分析】
做此题时，要求考生能够根据上下文寻找到正确的事实，“负面情绪”这个词组出处在第三段，在此之前作者有一句非常关键的话“大多数人看上去会在夜间早些时候做噩梦，然后发展成为快乐的梦，表明他们正在力图消除白天产生的负面情绪”。可见选项加剧的说法正好相反，而选项显然显得过早。最大的干扰源于选项和选项之间的联系与区别，很多考生选择了，但是仔细阅读上文就会发现，负面的情绪会在恶梦里面出现，也就是在夜间早些时候出现，但是我们不能直接说负面的情绪直接演变成快乐的梦，而只能说，负面情绪通过恶梦向美梦转变的方式获得消除。所以说这道题目的干扰项是出题人利用偷换概念的方式来迷惑考生的。
34. Cartwright seems to suggest that 卡特怀特似乎认为
waking up in time is essential to the ridding of bad dreams。
及时苏醒对于摆脱噩梦非常重要。
visualizing bad dreams helps bring them under control。
想象噩梦有利于控制它们。
dreams should be left to their natural progression。
应该让梦自然发展。
dreams may not entirely belong to the unconscious。
做梦可能未必完全处于无意识状态。
【答案】 D
【考点】 事实细节题。
【分析】
通过阅读所有卡特怀特的内容，终于发现可以在第四段第二句卡特怀特所相信的这一部分内容中找到答案的线索。这一段的主旨是“这一过程不一定是无意识的”，紧接着，“卡特怀特相信人能够对屡次出现的噩梦进行有意识的控制，比如：确认你梦中令你不安的事情，想象一下你想如何结束它，以及在下次做同样的梦时醒过来。”作者说这么多无非就是想证明该段主旨“这一过程不一定是无意识的”，也就是我们的选项。选项利用原文的“visualize”大做文章，非常重要一说值得商榷。选项应该是想象它如何结束，而选项的意思和本文要对梦进行控制正好相反。
35. What advice might Cartwright give to those who sometimes have
haddreams?
对那些有时做噩梦的人，卡特怀特可能会给怎样的建议?
Lead your life as usual. 向平常一样生活。
Seek professional help. 寻求专家帮助。
Exercise conscious control. 锻炼有意识控制。
Avoid anxiety in the daytime. 避免白天产生焦虑。
【答案】 A
【考点】 事实细节题。
【分析】
在第五段中，卡特怀特说：“只要梦不使我们无法睡眠或从梦中惊醒，就没有理由太在意所做的梦。恐怖主义、经济不确定及通常的不安全感都增加了人们的焦虑。那些长期受到噩梦折磨的人应该寻求专家帮助，而对其他人来说，大脑有自动消除不良情绪的方法。安心睡觉甚至做梦，早上醒来时你会感觉好多了。”这段话的意思非常明确，长期受到噩梦折磨的人应该寻求专家帮助;而其他人，也就是那些偶尔做恶梦的人，“安心睡觉甚至做梦”，也就是象平常一样。选项适合长期受到噩梦折磨的人。选项是控制噩梦的方法，不是卡特怀特对有时做噩梦的人的建议。选项文中没有提及。
