They say the average person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day, and does not affect his rest in any way. A word of warning, however, sleep teaching will only strengthen in your mind what you have studied already while you are awake.In an experiment, lessons were broadcast over the radio. Each lesson lasted twelve hours from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the student awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson. The cradlesong(a kind of soft song making you fall asleep easily) sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 a.m. his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.53The underlined word “lullaby” means _.Ajazz Bcradlesong Crock music Dfolk music54At 2 a.m, _.Astudents study vocabulary.Bstudents were made to sleep.CA loud noise was made to wake up students to go over the lesson.DStudents sleep ended55From the passage we can conclude that “sleepstudy” is _.Aeasy and comfortableBeasy and efficientCcompletely achieved during sleepingDnot so easy and comfortable as the title suggestsIV. 七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共计10分）All over the world people enjoy sports.
