"Dream may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream," some scientists say. Dreams take up (占据)
about half of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night.
Dreams are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over
and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying
to find an answer.
Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may think about their work all day. These
ideas can carry over into dreams. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a nice dream. But often we can't
remember the dream. Dreams can go away quickly from memory.
But too much dreaming can be harmful. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is working hard
when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up exhausted. We may feel sleepy the whole
day.
24. Why do some dreamers always have the same dreams at night?
A. Because they think about their problems.
B. Because they are working all day.
C. Because they watch old films.
25. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. It is easy to remember our dreams.
B. Some people may dream all day long.
C. Dreams can sometimes help our work.
26. What is the meaning of the underlined word "exhausted"?
A. Sad.
B. Tired.
C. Bored.

A. A news report.
B. A science magazine.

24. 细节理解题。根据"Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because
the dreamer is worrying about something."可知，有些做梦的人在晚上总是做同样的梦是因为他们在担心某事，
也即是在考虑自己的问题。故选A。
25. 细节理解题。根据"Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams."可知，有些人从梦里得到关于
工作的新想法，由此可知，梦有时对我们的工作有帮助。故选C。

whole day."可知，我们整天都感到很困倦，说明我们在醒来时仍然很疲惫，划线单词表示"疲惫的"，与tired

一般现在时。
【点评】考查提纲作文。内容切题，语法正确，时态运用灵活，准确，一些固定短语，如 do sports
做运动，very much 非常， as for 至于， soap operas 肥皂剧等等，及句型结构，如 Judy likes soap operas
best because she thinks they are very funny and romantic. （because 引导原因状语从句，省略that 的宾语从
句）， I don't mind English shows or sports shows but I can't stand soap operas because they are too boring.
（but 表示转折）等等的运用较为得体，使得文章更加流畅，自然。
