　　1―5 CAADC 6―10 DCBAC 11―15 BCAAC 16―20 ADDBA

　　1.選C。brain 大腦。

　　2.選A。此處強(qiáng)調(diào)過(guò)程，另三個(gè)詞系短暫動(dòng)詞，不能這樣用。

　　3.選A。imagine表示一種心理描繪，與look forward to，predict 和expect 等詞意相吻合。

　　4.選D。這里強(qiáng)調(diào)的是行為方式。此外，第6個(gè)空格前重現(xiàn)了類(lèi)似的表達(dá)方式。

　　5.選C。情況經(jīng)常與我們預(yù)計(jì)的不同，說(shuō)明我們的預(yù)計(jì)不總是“正確的”。

　　6.選D。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有expect與predict 同義。

　　7.選C。開(kāi)普勒的夢(mèng)不具有 funny，dull和silly的特征。

　　8.選B。從下文來(lái)看，已成功地解決了問(wèn)題，而不是“想”、“希望”去做，而是“盡力”去做。

　　9.選A�！把芯俊迸c“分析”是緊密相聯(lián)的。study 此處意為“研究”。research作“研究”講時(shí)，若接賓語(yǔ)，須加上介詞on 或into。

　　10.選C。“好象沒(méi)有辦法”。

　　11.選B。find out 意為“弄清”、“找出”。其余三個(gè)詞組不合文意。

　　12.選C。wake up“醒來(lái)”,符合情節(jié)發(fā)展的進(jìn)程：睡覺(jué)――做夢(mèng)――醒來(lái)。

　　13.選A。由前文可知，他是在“夢(mèng)”中解決了難題。

　　14.選A。softly意為 gently and slowly，這是催眠者對(duì)催眠對(duì)象應(yīng)該采用的方式。

　　18.選D。almost asleep意為迷迷糊糊地睡著了，從眼皮沉重，還有簡(jiǎn)單的思維活動(dòng)來(lái)看，不能說(shuō)是完全睡著了。

　　19.選B。這里的remember nothing等于下一句中的forget everything。

　　20.選A。后面列舉的一、二、三、四、五這一串?dāng)?shù)字，表明“計(jì)數(shù)”已經(jīng)開(kāi)始。
