Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
If you dream in color, you're not alone: the majority of people today claim to have. colorful dreams. But it wasn't 'always thus. Research conducted in the early part of the last century consistently found that people reported dreaming most often in black and white. According to Eva Murzyn at the University of Dundee, there are at least two possible explanations for this strange anomaly(反常).
The first is methodological. The early studies tended to use questionnaires, whereas more modern studies use dream diaries (filled in upon rising in the morning) or so-called "REM-awakening", which involves interrupting people's dream-filled periods of sleep to find out what they were dreaming about. People's memories of their dreams are likely to be less accurate using the questionnaire approach and more likely to reflect lay(世俗的) beliefs about the form. dreams generally take.
The second explanation has to do with black and white television and film. It's possible that the boom in black and white film and television during the first half of the last century either affected the form. of people's dreams at that time, or affected their beliefs about the form. dreams generally take.
According to Murzyn's findings, it's the explanation based on media exposure that carries more weight. She used both questionnaire and diary methods to study the dreams of 30 older (average age 64) and 30 younger people (average age 21). The methodological technique made no difference to the type of dreams people reported. Crucially, however, across both questionnaires and diaries, the older participants (who had had significant early life exposure to black and white media) reported experiencing significantly more black and white dreams over the last ten days than the younger participants (22 per cent vs 4 per cent).
Another finding was that older participants reported black and white dreams and color dreams to be of equal vividness. By contrast, the younger participants reported that the quality of black and white dreams was poorer. This raises the possibility that the younger participants didn't really have any black and white dreams at all, but were simply labeling poorly remembered dreams as black and white.
Several awkward questions are left unanswered by this study. It's not clear if the older participants really are experiencing more black and white dreams or if it's their memories or beliefs about dreams that is influencing their reports.
A disadvantage for the questionnaires method is that______.

听力原文：M: Hi, I've heard you're looking for a different apartment.
W: Yeah, the place I'm in is really bad.
M: It was OK when I was there.
W: (22) Oh, the boiler keeps breaking and when it doest we lose the heat for several days at the time.
M: Why doesn't the owner replace it？
W: (23) Well, she said it was cheaper to keep fixing it. She's a nice enough person, but she just doesn't want to spend the money. In any case, I'm sick of being cold.
M: Can you get your deposit back if you move？
W: (24) If I give a two-month notice, I can get the whole thing back.
M: So what kind of place are you looking for？
W: I think I'll try to get into one of those tall buildings near the university. There's nothing really special but at least they are new and comfortable.
M: I've heard that those buildings are pretty noisy. The walls are thin and you can hear everything that's going on in the other apartment.
W: Oh, that's terrible. I need some place quiet to finish my paper. I guess I'll have to look at some more ads. Maybe a new one isn't necessarily better.
M: Why don't you try some of those apartments in Winsor？ They're supposed to be nice.
W: Oh, aren't they expensive？
M: Not really, you'll be surprised at how reasonable some of them are. (25) The problem there is that the bus doesn't run that way.
W: That will definitely be a problem. I can't afford a car right now. I guess I'd better check a few of the places here in the city before I make a decision.
