Dreams are not simply visual-we dream with all our (7) , so that we appear to experience sound, touch, smell, and taste.
One of the world's oldest (8) written documents is the Egyptian Book of Dreams. This volume is about five thousand years old, so you can (9) that dreams were believed to have a special significance even then. Many ancient civilisations believed that you (10) never wake a sleeping person as, during sleep, the soul had left the body and might not be able to return (11) time if the sleeper were suddenly (12) .
From ancient times to the present (13) , people have been (14) attempts to interpret dreams and to explain their significance.

单选题 A. demand B. promise C. agree D. claim

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 这里是一个复合从句，缺的部分是带后边宾语从句的一个谓语成分。根据后边宾语从句的内容“never dream at all”，可以判断此处应该是claim，声称。demand，promise，agree都有后边的语义不符。

单选题 A. also B. just C. only D. quite

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] as frequently as已经表达了“同样”的意思，所以also不符合这一空。quite不能用来修饰as...as这样的词组，而根据上下午的语境，这里应该是“刚好，恰恰”，所以最佳答案是just。

单选题 A. though B. besides C. however D. despite

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 根据上下文的语境，可以判断出这一空所衔接的前后两个句子有转折的关系，而且后一句为条件，despite与though都可以表示“虽然，尽管”的意思，但是despite是做介词时才有“虽然，尽管”的意思，此处缺的是一个连接词，所以只能用though。

单选题 A. familiar B. accustomed C. aware D. used

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 这四个选项中，只有aware可以与of搭配，表示“意识到”，accustomed通常与to搭配，表示习惯于，同样used to也表示习惯于。而familiar通常与with搭配，表示“对…熟悉”。从语义与搭配两个层面来看，最合适的都是aware。

单选题 A. after B. on C. through D. over

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] night after night“一夜又一夜”，同定搭配。同样的结构还有year after year, day after day, week after week。相似的结构有day by day，“逐日，一天天”；year by year，“逐年，一年年”。

单选题 A. great B. high C. strong D. deep

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 此处是在in detail这一表达当中增加了一个形容词，来表示细致的程度。high表示高度的变化，strong是强度，deep是深度，用来表示细致都不合适。所以应该用great，in great detail，表示细致入微，描述得淋漓尽致。

单选题 A. feelings B. emotions C. impressions D. senses

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 从前边的visual，以及后边的sound，touch，smell，taste这些可以看出，这里指的是人所有的各种感官的感觉。感官叫作sense organ，所以这种种的感觉通常都用sense来表示。

单选题 A. considered B. known C. regarded D. estimated

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 根据上下文，可以发现此处是在描述一个事实。因此首先排除estimated“估计”，而这本最古老的书是已经被认定过了的，所以regard，consider都不合适，因此，最佳答案应该是known，目前所知的。

单选题 A. see B. feel C. ensure D. think

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 此处是通过从前文所描述的这样一个事实，可以让我们认识到这个空后边所表达的内容。因此不是feel，think。也不是让我们确认，而只是发现，所以也不是ensured，而应该是see。

单选题 A. would B. ought C. should D. need

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 根据上下文的语境，可以判断出此处表达的是不能，不应叫醒睡梦中的人。首先排除need，另外ought通常跟to -块使用，所以也不可能。而would更should两者相比，后者的程度更深，更符合这个语境。
