Question

When I was in high school, I had a recurring(反復的) dream of my teeth falling out. I dreamt about my teeth just about every night for at least three weeks. Sometimes they would fall out one at a time, sometimes all at once. I became terrified that my dreams meant I would actually lose my teeth. Nine years later and about a million trips to the dreams, I still have a full set of teeth, but I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well．

Miller says losing teeth indicates burdens that crush your pride. If your teeth are knocked out, you’ll have sudden misfortune． Other explanations for dreams about lost teeth are that the dreamer is feeling powerless in life and may be in a transitional（過度的） period from one situation of life to another. Some experts believe that dreams of losing teeth today show we’re just as insecure and uncertain as we were in childhood．

When I dreamt about my teeth back in high school, I was trying to choose a college— a stressful decision． The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate．

A little of stress in our everyday lives is normal. But sometimes it becomes such a regular occurrence in our lives that it influences our dreams and causes us to lose valuable sleep. Understanding our dreams is key to identifying and ending stress in our waking hours and restoring peace to our nighttime hours．

解析:

56．答案：D解析：本題為細節理解題。宜用排除法確定答案。文章作者多次提到做此夢時候在現實的生活中經常的面對壓力。而ABC三項的觀點片面甚至有些唯心。

57．答案：C解析：本題為細節題。根據文章的第一、二段可以得出文章共有四種夢中掉牙的不同解釋。

58．答案：C解析：本題為詞義猜測題。由第三段The dreams resurfaced when college graduation rolled around four years later and I’m sure they’ll start again when I graduate．一句可知“四年后當大學即將畢業時，這個夢又重新出現了”預示著作者面臨著畢業后的就業的壓力。所以此處的rolled around意思是“即將到來”。

59．答案A解析：本題為推理判斷題。要求學生通過全文得出合理的結論。根據第一段“I’ve learned that when we’re experiencing stress in our lives, it tends to show up in our dreams as well”可以推斷出“我們的夢是現實生活經歷的反映”的表述符合題意。其他的選項不符合題干的要求。

60．答案：D解析：本題為主旨大意題。要求學生通過研讀全文信息，判斷作者的寫作意圖。總觀本文，可以看出這篇文章是對“夢中掉牙”的夢的不同的觀點。對夢有一個正確的看法對我們來說是非常重要的。
