Getting a solid night's rest when you're sick can seem like an unattainable goal for any number of reasons.It's difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep when you're troubled by a stuffy nose，a constant cough，or other unbearable symptoms（症状）.Fevers can make quality sleep even harder，thanks in part to fever dreams：especially vivid，unbelievable，or downright disturbing dreams that occur when you have a fever. As the Sleep Foundation explains，fever dreams sometimes involve spatial distortion，such as moving walls and melting objects；threats or danger，which can be anything from insects to terrorists；and illness.If you were to have a dream fitting this description when you weren't sick，you might just regard it as a common nightmare（噩梦）.But since people seem to experience such strange dreams more often during fevers，it's given rise to the idea that the two things must be linked. While there's a lot about fever dreams we don't know，there is at least a little evidence supporting the theory that some people's fever dreams are different from their regular dreams.In one study from 2016，researchers asked 62 people to describe past fever dreams and found them to be more unbelievable，more emotionally intense，and often negatively toned than regular dreams from an age and gender matched sample.Of the 164 people who participated in a 2020 survey，100 reported fever dreams.The researchers noted that these dreams included more references to health and temperature sensations（感觉）compared to normal most recent dreams. As for why fevers beget strange nightmares，scientists have some ideas. "One theory is that the brain doesn't process sensations normally when we have a fever，" Dr Beth Malow，director of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's sleep division，told Health in 2020.So burning up in your bed might just clearly show itself in a dream full of melting objects and seemingly unrelated dangers.（1）What might not make you fail to attain quality sleep according to the text？ ____ A.Having a blocked nose.B.Coughing constantly.C.Having dreams.D.Catching a fever.（2）What can we learn about fever dreams from the text？ ____ A.People will certainly dream of some threats or dangers during fevers.B.Fever dreams might make people ill.C.Fever dreams are often viewed as common nightmares.D.People are more likely to have nightmares during fevers.（3）What is the difference between fever dreams and regular dreams？ ____ A.Fever dreams are more incredible to young people.B.Fever dreams may bring stronger emotions.C.Fever dreams occur more frequently.D.Fever dreams may result in higher body temperature.（4）What does the underlined word "beget" mean in the last paragraph？ ____ A.Cause.B.Get.C.Reach.D.Explain.

题目解答
答案
（1）C.细节理解题。根据第一段中It's difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep when you're troubled by a stuffy nose，a constant cough，or other unbearable symptoms（症状）.Fevers can make quality sleep even harder，thanks in part to fever dreams：especially vivid，unbelievable，or downright disturbing dreams that occur when you have a fever. （当你被鼻塞、不断咳嗽或其他难以忍受的症状困扰时，你很难入睡和保持睡眠。发烧会让睡眠质量更差，部分原因在于发烧梦：尤其是当你发烧时发生的生动、难以置信或完全令人不安的梦。）可知，鼻塞、不停的咳嗽和发烧都会影响人们的睡眠质量，而做梦可能不会，故选C。
（2）D.推理判断题。根据第二段中But since people seem to experience such strange dreams more often during fevers，it's given rise to the idea that the two things must be linked.（但由于人们似乎更经常在发烧时做这种奇怪的梦，这就引发了一种观点，即这两件事肯定是有联系的。）可推知，人们发烧时更容易做一些奇怪诡异的噩梦，故选D。
（3）B.细节理解题。根据第三段中In one study from 2016，researchers asked 62 people to describe past fever dreams and found them to be more unbelievable，more emotionally intense，and often negatively toned than regular dreams from an age and gender matched sample.（在2016年的一项研究中，研究人员让62人描述过去发烧时做的梦，发现这些梦比年龄和性别匹配的样本的普通梦更难以置信，情绪更强烈，往往带有负面色彩。）可知，发烧时做的梦通常会更加荒诞、更能给梦中人强烈的情绪上的冲击和负面的影响，故选B。
（4）A.词句猜测题。根据最后一段As for why fevers beget strange nightmares，scientists have some ideas. "One theory is that the brain doesn't process sensations normally when we have a fever，" Dr Beth Malow，director of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's sleep division，told Health in 2020.So burning up in your bed might just clearly show itself in a dream full of melting objects and seemingly unrelated dangers.（至于为什么发烧会_____奇怪的噩梦，科学家们有一些想法。范德堡大学医学中心睡眠部门主任贝丝•马洛博士在2020年告诉《健康》杂志："有一种理论是，当我们发烧时，大脑不能正常处理感觉。"因此，在你的床上燃烧可能只会在一个充满融化的物体和看似无关的危险的梦里清楚地显示出来。）可知，后文是在解释发烧会引起奇怪梦的理论，故画线词意思是"引起，导致"。A.Cause.引起；B.Get.得到；C.Reach.到达；D.Explain.解释。故选A。
