题文
阅读理解 History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery.A strikingexample is provided by Dr.Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist and winner of a Nobel Prize.Loewi had
spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A tremendous breakthrough
in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row.The first two nights he
woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on a pad.But the next morning, he
couldn't tell what the notes meant.On the third night, he got up after having the dream.This time, instead
of making notes he went straight t
o his laboratory and performed the crucial experiment.Loewi later said
that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it.
Loewi's experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions.Inhibitions (拘谨) are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh
point of view.
Being able to take advantage of dreams for problem solving is improved if you "set" yourself before
retiring.Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve.Steep yourself in (潜心于) the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information.Then use the suggestions
listed in the previous section to catch your dreams.Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a
novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure.about half of a group of college students
using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.1. The main idea of this passage is that________.A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreams
B. it is possible to "catch" one's dreams by planning before going to sleep

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 Histo.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
