　　閱讀理解2024·濰坊5月模擬When you tidy your messy bedroom，it gets a lot easier to find things.Dreams may work the same way for a messy brain，helping you learn by organizing memories and ideas.

　　To test how much dreams can help learning，Robert Stickgold had some students play a shape-fitting game called Tetris (俄羅斯方塊) for a few hours and then go to sleep.Soon they were dreaming of falling Tetris shapes.Interestingly，the worst Tetris players had the most Tetris dreams and improved their game the most.Similar tests have shown the same results for all kinds of skills.

　　As we dream，many important tasks are getting done.The brain decides what to keep and what to forget.It is connecting new experiences to older learning.In fact，the brain is learning all night long.

　　Another important task of dreams may be to help us deal with emotions (情緒)．At night，emotions are in the driver’s seat.People who have had an upsetting experience often dream

　　about

　　it

　　afterward.Often

　　the

　　dream event

　　changes somehow—another way the brain tries to make the memory less upset.So if your best friend moves away，you might dream that you’re the one who’s moving.In fact，dreams have a proven power to improve mood，and people who dream about what’s bothering them usually feel better sooner than those who don’t.

　　Everybody dreams for a couple of hours every night—in the course

　　of your life，you’ll spend about 25 years asleep and 6 years dreaming.There’s probably no single answer to the question why we dream，but there doesn’t have to be.One dream might help you remember your math facts，while another might lead to a new invention，or give you a fun，crazy story to tell your friends.It’s all in a night’s work for our busy，mysterious brains.

　　答案：C閱讀理解2024·濰坊5月模擬“Oh，you must have been a spoiled (寵壞的) kid.You must be really bossy.I wonder what you’re going to be like to deal with？” That’s often the response Angela Hult gets when people find out she’s an only child，she told ABC News.Despite such negative (消極的) remarks，Hult has decided to have only one child herself.And she’s not alone.

　　According to the US’ Office for National Statistics，women approaching the end of their childbearing years had an average of 1.9 children in 2004，compared with 3.1 for their counterparts in 1976.The percentage of one-child families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 to 26 percent in 2007.

　　But even though only children are becoming increasingly common，the traditional view that they’re selfish，spoiled and lack social skills holds strong.Even parents of only children，like Hult，are made to feel guilty about having only one child.Worried that they’re being selfish and endangering their child’s future，they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice.Soon，however，they ask themselves：is this social prejudice really reasonable?

　　“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers (同齡人)，” Susan Newman，a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US，told ABC News.

　　This raises another question：why are only children still viewed with such suspicion?

　　“There is a belief that’s been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous，both for you and for the continuation of your race，” Toni Falbo，a professor of educational psychology，told the Guardian.“In the past a lot of children died.You’d have had to be crazy to only have one.”

　　Times，of course，have changed and infant mortality (嬰兒死亡率) has largely reduced.So what do only children themselves say?

　　Kayley Kravitz，a blogger for The Huffington Post，grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience.“Being an only child taught me the most valuable skill of all：the ability to be alone，” she said.

　　1．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

　　A．Are only children lonely?

　　B．Are only children common?

　　C．Are only children dangerous?

　　D．Are only children different?

　　2．What does Susan Newman mean?

　　A． Only children are as good as their peers.

　　B．Only children are more selfish and spoiled.

　　C．Parents feel guilty about having only one child.

　　D．Parents will endanger their only child’s future.

　　3．What is the common belief since human existed?

　　A．The infant death rate always stays high.

　　B．People are crazy to have only one child.

　　C．It’s easy for only children to earn their living.

　　D．It’s hard to continue the family line with only one child.

　　4．An only child like Kayley________.

　　A．must be difficult to persuade

　　B．can possibly learn to be alone

　　C．should value special skills

　　D．need ignore bad experience

　　5．What’s the author’s attitude towards having only one child?

　　A．Neutral.B．Negative.

　　C．Positive.D．Doubtful.

　　語篇解讀　本文是一篇議論文。盡管在英國越來越多的孩子都是獨生子女，但很多人對獨生子女的看法卻依然如故，認為他們自私、嬌氣、缺少社交技能。對此，獨生子女們有他們的看法。

　　答案：　D

　　2．解析：　細節理解題。根據第四段Susan Newman所說的話可知，成百上千的研究表明獨生子女和別的孩子沒有什么區別，故選A。

　　答案：　A

　　3．解析：　細節理解題。根據文章第六段中的“There is a belief that’s been around probably...both for you and for the continuation of your race”可知，自從人類存在以來，人們就認為只生一個孩子不論對你自己還是對種族的延續來說都是很危險的，故選D。

　　答案：　D

　　4．解析：　細節理解題。根據文章最后一段中“Being an only child...the ability to be alone”可知，選B。

　　Horton

　　At first glance，there is little in Horton to attract people.The other nearby towns have much more to offer：Bradfield has its river and historic buildings，while Newtown has shops and entertainment.The buildings of Horton look dirty and unloved.For shops，there is a small supermarket，a few bargain shops，a bakery which，strangely，does not sell bread and a florist which has one stand of sad-looking flowers.Even so，Horton has several advantages over its neighbouring towns.

　　Firstly，it has a country park.Four thousand years ago，this was an important fort.There are no historic remains here now，but there are wonderful views over the countryside.On sunny weekends you can often see kids out with their parents，kicking balls or flying kites.

　　There aren’t many job opportunities in Horton，and the roads to nearby cities aren’t really fast，but there are excellent rail links.You can be in London in an hour and a half，and other cities are less than an hour away.That means that parents can earn a good salary and still get home in time to spend the evenings with their families.Houses in Horton aren’t pretty，but they’re functional and cheap.The streets are quiet and safe，and there are plenty of parks and playgrounds.It has a library，three primary schools and a secondary school，St.Mark’s.It is friendly and offers a wide range of subjects and activities to children of all abilities and backgrounds.The town also has a swimming and a sports centre，and the community halls hold regular clubs and events for people of all ages.
