8、tweenchildhood and full adulthood,thats around 30,are the strongest and most influential.Yet not enough is known about the repeated patterns of dreaming.Researchers are still trying to answer a basic question:How does dreaming relate to the life experiences and developmental challenges?G.William Dom
9、hoff and Adam Schneider,at theUniversityofCalifornia,help to answer this question by examining the lengthy dream series of two individuals,“Izzy”and“Jasmine”.Izzy provided a collection of 4,329 dream reports from between the ages of 12 and 25,while Jasmine provided 664 dreams recorded between the ag
10、es of 14 and 25.Large collections of dreams like these pose challenges to researchers.Until recently,the means of studying dream series was to employ a team of recorders who take the time to code each dream for a predetermined(预先确定的)number of content categories,and then compare their results.Nowaday
11、s,digital technologies enable the analysis of language usage in dreams with high speed,accuracy,and objectivity.This marks a revolutionary advance in the science of dreaming.However,itcan only lead so far.To gain more specific and detailed insights,Domhoff and Schneider tailored word strings(词串)for
12、each dreamer,mixing elements of traditional research with digital tools for analyzing large data sets.For Izzy these word strings included“family and s”,“celebrities”and“fantasy”,while the word strings they created for Jasmine included“familiar places,”electrical equipment”and“music”.The researchers
13、 used these word strings to identify connections between their dreams and real lives.Surprisingly,the results of the analysis revealed a great deal of consistency(一致性)and continuity in both sets of dreams.Izzy pays much attention to pop culture,and has affection for famous actors.Jasmine is an accom

18、eality.There are currently two desert farms in the world where quality vegetables are being planted cheaply and easily.Sundrop Farms,based in South Australia,uses experimental greenhouses to grow tomatoes,peppers and cucumbers.The biggest challenge of growing food in a desert,obviously,is the lack o
19、f available water.The researchers at Sundrop Farms have gotten aroundthis problemby using the sun to desalinate(淡化)sea water.It can also be used to control the temperature of the greenhouses.Without depending on limited resources such as land and fresh water Sundrop Farms has made farming a practice
20、.This can increase the worlds food supplies.Another benefit ofthis kind of farming is that it can be done anywhere,thus reducing the costs of transporting food to distant locations.Yet another benefit is that it reduces the need for pesticides(杀虫剂).Another experimental desert farm is the Sahara Fore
21、st Project,which began in Qatar in December 2012.Greenhouses in the farm are cooled by saltwater.Solar power and other technologies are used together to help make vegetation(植被)grow in the desert environment.As deserts have expanded over recent years around the world due to global warming,this proje

26、tunities.D Portraits as Art According to a dictionary,portraiture is“a representation(描绘)of a person,especially of the face by drawing or painting alikeness.”However,this definition neglects the complexities of portraiture.Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity rather than jus
27、t a likeness.These concepts of identity involve social rank,gender,age,profession,character of the subject,etc.It is impossible to copy all the aspects of identity.Therefore,portraits reflect only certain qualities of subjects.Portrait art has also undergone significant shifts in artistic practice.T
28、he majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions and favored styles.Therefore,portrait art is an art category providing various engagement with social,psychological,and artistic practices and expectations.Since portraits are different from other art categories,they are worthy of
29、 separate study.During their production,portraits require the presence of a specific person,or an image of the individual.In many instances,the production of portraiture has required sittings,which result in interaction between the subject(s)and the artist throughout the creation of the work.In cert
30、ain instances,portrait artists depended on a combination of different involvement with their subjects.If the sitter cant sit in the studio regularly,portraitists could use his or her photographs.InEurope,during the seventeenth and eighteenth century,the sitting time was sometimes decreased by focusi
31、ng only on the head.Theoretically,portraitists could work from impressions or memories when creating a painting,but this rarely occurred according to documented records.Nonetheless,whether the work is based on model sittings,copying a photograph,or using memory,the process of painting a portrait is
32、linked with the models attendance.Furthermore,portrait painting can be distinguished from other artistic categories by its connection with appearance,or likeness.As such,the art of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of for artistic innovation.Based on Renaissance art theory,por
33、traiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to a fine art.Michelangelos well-known protest against portraits is only one example.During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,the attitude to portraiture was critical.Even so,artists from around the globe persisted in paintin
34、g portraits despite their theoretical objections.Picasso,for example,became widely-known forcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画)early in his career,but some of his early experiments in this new style were his portraits of art dealers.12.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A.The changing definition of
35、 portraiture reflects shifting attitudes to it.B.Most portraits reflect artistic fashions and favored styles when created.C.Portraiture is a more complex art form than is defined in a dictionary.D.Portrait art shouldnt be seen as a distinct art category for its complexity.13.Which of the following i
