【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：“梦可能比睡眠更重要。我们都需要梦想。”一些科学家说。梦想占据了大约四分之一的睡眠时间。人们每晚可以有好几个梦。梦就像短片。他们通常都是彩色的。这可能是因为做梦者在担心某事。太多的梦是有害的。我们睡眠时间越长，我们的梦就越多。

1.句意：梦占据了大约四分之一的睡眠时间。所填词在句中修饰名词时间，所以填写动名词形式sleeping。

2.句意：梦就像短片一样。根据句意可知该填写介词like，像。

3.句意：他们一次又一次地来到我们。over and over again反复，是一个固定短语，所以填写连词and，和。

4.句意：这可能是因为做梦者在担心某事。Worry about担心，结合前面的is 可知该填写现在分词worrying 。

5.句意：有些人从梦中得到了有关他们的工作的新的想法。get …from，从……得到，所以填写介词from，从。

6.句意：这些思想可以带到梦里。所填词被These 修饰，所以填写复数名词形式thoughts，思想。

7.句意：有时，我们带着梦想的好感觉醒来。所填词被形容词修饰，并且前面有不定冠词，所以填写名词形式feeling。

8.句意：梦可以从记忆中快速消失。所填词在句中修饰动词作状语，所以填写副词形式quickly。

9.句意：我们睡眠时间越长，我们的梦就越多。“The + 比较级， the + 比较级”表示“越……越”，是一个固定句型。结合语境可知该填写more。

10.这就是为什么我们有很长的睡眠而可能醒来时仍然很累的原因。根据语境可知该填写why。
