【单选题】 Jokes are as old as the spoken worD.In every country in the world and in every age in history, people have old funny stories to make one another laugh. In the Middle Ages in Europe, the court jesters(弄臣) or fools, amused( 逗乐) rulers and their courts with jokes and tricks.
While we no longer have court jesters, we still have people whose job is to make us laugh. We still laugh at many of the same things that made people laugh long ago. We laugh at jokes that have surprise endings, and stories of people who simply never seem able to do anything right. Quick answers also amuse us. Here are some simple jokes that will show you what they mean.

【单选题】梦境由人们记忆中彼此不连贯的形象组合而成，这些组合被赋予了一些很浅显的故事。然而，梦境没有蕴涵心理上的意义，因为它们的产生仅仅是由于大脑在分类、比较和储存日常生活中的体验时所进行的能够导致视觉形象重现的化学反应过程而已。
上文中的推理很容易遭到批驳，如果下面这项为真：
A．如果梦境蕴涵心理上的意义，那么梦境将比现在要连续而有条理。
B．除非做梦的人已经醒着，否则梦境不可能在人们之间交流。
C．不论是对体验的分类还是赋予形象以故事都是蕴涵有心理意义的过程。
D．没有相应的化学反应过程，大脑不可能实现它的功能。
E．如果做梦是睡眠充足所必须的，那么做梦肯定有生物学上的成因。
