Question

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案.

　　Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have Daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.

　　“On the contrary,” says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology（心理学）,“Daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn't get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day. You can't possibly do all your thinking with a conscious（有意识的）mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues.”

　　Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, “We know that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences and plan for our futures--daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.”

　　Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep, which may be hard to understand. It's easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of handling（处理）them.

　　Daydreams cannot be predicted（预料）: They move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.

　　So the next time you catch yourself daydreaming, don't stop. Just pay attention to your dream. It may be more important than you think.

Answer 1

答案：B;A;D;C;B
解析：

(1) 这是一道细节题.短文第三段首句Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful.说明，过去人们认为白日梦不重要，甚至于认为有害，答案是B. (2) 这是一道细节题.由短文第四段中Daydreams are usually very simple and direct，quite unlike sleep dreams，which may be hard to understand.可知，白日梦简单而直接，完全不像难以理解的梦，答案为A. (3) 这是一道细节题，可根据Klinger的话去判断.由短文第三段中Klinger所说的“We know that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences and plan for our futures--daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.”可知，我们的恐惧和欲望在白日梦中被表现出来，D是最佳答案. (4) 这是一道猜测作者写作意图的题目.由短文第四段最后两句It's easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of handling them.可知.白日梦比梦更容易理解，在日常生活不会更有用，答案为C. (5) 这是一道分析判断题.由短文第三段中At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. 和For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.这几句话可知，A、C、D项都正确.而选项B为Scientists believe that we can know daydreams before having them.其意思是“科学家认为我们在做白日梦之前就知道了它的内容.”显然与文章内容不符，故答案选B.
