84．challenging/difficult，考查细节理解，根据句子Experts say this dream may mean you're being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge．可知，你正面临着挑战，也就是发现事情是富有挑战性的或困难的，因此使用形容词challenging/difficult．
85．matters，考查词义转换，根据句子You are in control of the things that matter to you可知，你掌握着那些对你来说是重要的事情，what充当从句主语，谓语动词matter应使用第三人称单数．
86．beat，考查细节理解，根据句子It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you．可知，你认为没有人或事物能打败你．
87．nowhere，考查细节理解，根据标题Trying to run，but going nowhere可知答案为nowhere．
88．time，考查词义转换，根据句子Some experts think this dream means you're trying to do too many things at once，专家认为你同时间要做的事情很多，使用短语at the same time．
89．moving，考查词义转换，根据句子can't catch up or move forward．"阻止你向前进"，使用短语prevent sb from doing sth．．
90．explanations，考查词义转换，根据最后一句In fact，unlike these dreams，there are also many strange dreams that experts may not be able to explain，有些梦是专家也没法解释的，可知我们能想出一些梦的解析，但并不是所有的梦．
