Question

19．Many people think dreams are full of messages that may not be clear to us common people．But if we think about what is going on in our lives，we can usually come up with an answer．Let's look at some of the most common dreams．What are the meanings of these dreams？
Falling
You're falling，falling，falling…and then you wake up．This dream is said to mean you are in fear of something or worried about something．There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it．Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something．Maybe you're not d oing well in school or work．
Taking an exam （or forgetting that you have one）
You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment．You might be running here and there to find your classroom．Scientists say this dream may mean you're being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge．
Flying
Dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things．You are in control of the things that matter to you．It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you．
Trying to run，but going nowhere
You're trying to run，but either of your legs won't move or you simply aren't going anywhere．Some scientists think this dream means you're trying to do too many things at once and can't catch up or move forward．
In fact，unlike these dreams，there are also many strange dreams that scientists may not be able to explain．

Answer 1

分析 许多人认为梦对我们普通人来说充满了可能不清楚的信息．但是如果我们想一下我们生活中发生的事情，我们通常可以得出答案．让我们看看一些最常见的梦吧．这些梦的意思是什么呢？
下降
你在下降，下降，下降，然后你醒了．这个梦是说，你有恐惧的东西或担心的东西．可能有些东西在你的生活是失控的，你不能做任何事来阻止它．另一个解释是，你可能会遇到失败的东西．也许你的学业或工作不很好．
参加考试（或忘记一门考试）
你突然意识到你必须在那个时候参加考试．你可能要跑到这里和那里去找你的教室．科学家说这个梦想可能意味着你正在测试一些东西，或者你正面临一个挑战．
飞行
梦到你在飞行意味着你在事情的顶部．你控制着对你重要的事情．它也可能意味着你有自信，认为没有人，也没有什么事可以打败你．
试图逃跑，但无处可去
你试图跑掉，但是你的双腿不会动或你只是不能去任何地方．一些科学家认为这个梦意味着你想一次做太多的事情，不能赶上或向前移动．
事实上，不像这些梦一样，也有许多奇怪的梦，科学家可能无法解释．

解答 56．mean．主旨题．根据What are the meanings of these dreams？和下文对梦的介绍可知，本文的题目应该"梦意味着什么"．故填mean．
57．afraid．细节题．根据This dream is said to mean you are in fear of something or worried about something中的 in fear of something 可知，本空应该填in fear"害怕"的同义词，根据be和of可知，应填afraid．be afraid of表示"害怕…"．
58．fail．细节题．根据Maybe you're not d oing well in school or work可知，not do well in表示"做得不好"，也就是失败的意思，故填fail．
59．test．细节题．根据You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment中的take an exam可知，本空应填exam"考试"的同义词，又根据a可知，故填test．
60．challenging．细节题．根据maybe you are facing a challenge可知，本句的意思是面临挑战．根据本空中的something可知，本空应填一个表示"挑战"意思的形容词来修饰不定代词something．故填challenging．
61．control．细节题．根据You are in control of the things that matter to you可知，本空应填in control of的同义词，而control"控制"本身也可作动词．根据are able to可知，应填动词control．
62．anything．细节题．根据It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you可知，你认为没有人或事可以打败你，也就是你能战胜任何人和任何事．故填anything．
63．nowhere．细节题．根据Trying to run，but going nowhere可知，努力跑，但无处可去．根据题干可知，故填nowhere．
64．moving．细节题．根据you're trying to do too many things at once and can't catch up or move forward中的move forward并结合题干中from是介词，后面需跟动名词可知，本空应填moving．
65．explain．细节题．根据there are also many strange dreams that scientists may not be able to explain可知，科学家可以解释一些梦，但不是所有的梦．根据题干可知，故填explain"解释"．
