But recharging with a shallow (小睡) offers no such mental improvement, the research suggests. The results of the study added to the growing body of evidence that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is very important to the brains ability to form strong memories.An average nights rest includes four or five spells of REM sleep, but these bursts tend to be lengthier towards the end of the night. This means adults getting less than the remended seven to eight hours a night - and therefore inadequate REM sleep - may be damaging their minds ability to memorize: Although REM sleep is not classified as a type of deep sleep, it is only reached after the brain has passed through deep sleep stages.In the recent study, participants were shown groups of three words - such as “cookie”, “heart”, and “sixteen”-and asked to find another word that can be associated with all three words. They were tested once in the morning and then given the same task again in the afternoon. In between, some were allowed a nap with REM sleep, some a nap without REM sleep, while the others had a quiet rest period. The quiet rest and non-REM sleep groups didnt improve, but the REM sleep group improved on their morning performance by an average of almost 40 per cent. Dr Sara Mednick, a sleep researcher at the University of California who led the study, believes the formation of connections between previously unassociated information in the brain occurs during REM sleep. People woken while their closed eyes made rapid movements recalled much more colorful and detailed dreams than people woken during other stages of sleep.1.

A. sleep four to five hours at most B. sleep as much as possible C. sleep with four or five periods of REM D. have a shallow sleep答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节题。由第二段 “An average nights rest includes four or five spells of REM sleep This means adults getting less than the remended seven to eight hours a night - and therefore inadequate REM sleep - may be damaging their minds ability to memorize:”可知，REM 睡眠包括四个或者五个阶段，如果成年人睡眠少于七到八个小时，会伤害大脑的记忆力，故答案为C。2. If you dont sleep seven to eight hours at night very often, _. A. you will tend to have longer periods of REM B. your strong memories might be ruined C. you will have an adequate REM sleep D. your mind can form strong memories答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。结合上题的分析可知，如果睡眠少于七到八个小时，记忆力会受到伤害。故答案为B。3.

What is the authors purpose in writing the passage? A. To explain the imortance of REM sleep to ones memories B. To persuade readers to sleep seven to eight hours at night. C. To discuss the relationship between sleep and memories D. To introduce the new study on sleep and memories答案解析：答案为D。本题考查作者的写作目的。本文第一段引入了REM 睡眠对人的记忆力的影响，第二段对其进行了具体介绍，第三段介绍了研究的过程，最后一段对REM 睡眠作出了进一步的解释，故答案为D，介绍一项睡眠和记忆的新研究。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。(xx辽宁，D)“Indeed，” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightningbug(萤火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bugshaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which es the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others conversations. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”， and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a puter program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overe in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering a bug in his invented record player.”文章大意：本文主要说的是“bug”一词的起源，不同含义和发展。9We learn from Paragraph 1 that _.AAmericans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugBGeorge Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugCthe word bug was still popularly used in England in the nineteenth centuryDboth Englishmen and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century答案：D推理判断题。从第一段的George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785和But the father of America was not the father of bug.

Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. Theyll say, This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it. Of course not! You dont have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors. I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, es back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls doing her best? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting(运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams. Remember that you reap what you sow. You just dont sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Dont expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, dont just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. Its not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.If someones life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, dont just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improve your life.1 According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life _. A. Doesnt need improving B. couldnt be improved C. will be better some day D. Will be worse in the future 2 What does the author think of the womans life? A. positive B. satisfying C. colorful D. passive3.Which of the following statements is the authors opinion? A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging. B.

A. positive action B. positive thinking C. hope for the best D. intention to succeed 5 The text is mainly written to advise you to _. A. understand yourself B. improve your life C. believe in yourself D. change your normal way A篇【解析】B。细节理解题。根据第三段的“she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it”和第四段的“She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it”，可知该女子接受现在的生活是因为她认为她已经尽力，但生活却未能改变。D。作者态度题。作者认为该女子只是重复日常活动，并没有“doing her best”，所以是passive (消极的)。B。细节理解题。根据第五段的“Dont expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it”，可知B为正确答案。A。细节理解题。第五段主要强调行动，而不仅仅靠运气、思想或希望。尤其是根据末句的“Its not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively”，可知A为正确答案。B。文章意图题。从文章的首句和尾句可以得到提示。
