內(nèi)容概要：本文講述了人的大腦有預測未來的非凡能力，甚至在夢中有時也能解決一些難題。

答案簡析：

1、C

解析：從前一句話中可以得到足夠的啟示。

2、A

解析：此處強調過程，另三個詞系短暫動詞，不能這樣用。

3、A

解析：imagine表示一種心理描繪，與look forward to，predict  和expect 等詞意相吻合。

4、D

解析：這里強調的是行為方式。此外，第6個空格前重現(xiàn)了類似的表達方式。

5、C

解析：情況經(jīng)常與我們預計的不同，說明我們的預計不總是“正確的”。

6、D

解析：四個項中只有expect與predict 同義。

7、C

解析：開普勒的夢不具有 funny，dull和silly的特征。

8、A

解析：從下文來看，已成功地解決了問題，而不是“想”、“希望”或“努力”去做。

9、A

解析：“研究”與“分析”是緊密相聯(lián)的。study 此處意為“研究”。research作“研究”講時，若接賓語，須加上介詞on 或into。

10、C

解析：憑語感確定。

11、B

解析：find out 意為“弄清”、“找出”。其余三個詞組不合文意。

12、C

解析：wake up“醒來”,符合情節(jié)發(fā)展的進程：睡覺――做夢――醒來。

13、A

解析：由前文可知，他是在“夢”中解決了難題。

14、A

解析：softly意為 gently and slowly，這是催眠者對催眠對象應該采用的方式。

15、C

解析：從前后句來看，催眠者希望他什么也不要想。

16、A

解析：從下文your eyes are too heavy一句中可得到暗示。

17、D

解析：聽到并且“理解”合乎邏輯。

18、D

解析：almost  asleep意為迷迷糊糊地睡著了，從眼皮沉重，還有簡單的思維活動來看，不能說是完全睡著了。

19、B

解析：這里的remember nothing等于下一句中的forget everything。

20、A

解析：后面列舉的一、二、三、四、五這一串數(shù)字，表明“計數(shù)”已經(jīng)開始。

Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames（綽號）. Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence（影響）on the world of music.

Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, “Jazz and I grew up together. ”

Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet（短號）at a boy’s home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that travelled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.

In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.

His cornet playing had a deep humanity（仁愛）and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over. ”He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most-admired people in the world. His death, on July 6, 1971, was headline news around the world.

A. looked like a musician                   B. was a musician of much influence
