dec5, 2008college students who think all-night study sessions will help them remember facts might want to get some sleep insteadthats the message from a new study that finds that as you sleep, the mind consolidates the things you learn during the daystudy participants who learned how to play a video game in the morning or evening did a better job the next day after a nights rest, apparently because their brains were actively absorbing what theyd learned as they sleptthe finding shows that sleep is not just a passive state when no information is coming in, said howard nusbaum, a professor of psychology at the university of chicagofor the study, the researchers recruited 200 college studentsmost of them werent very familiar with playing video gamessome of the participants learned how to play the games in the morning, while others learned in the eveningthe researchers then tested the subjects on the video games 12 hours later and 24 hours laterthose who took part in the morning training sessions showed an average eight-percentage-point improvement in their performance immediately after trainingthey performed more poorlyscoring four percentage points better12 hours laterbut they scored 10 percentage points better the next morningif we train you in the morning and come back at the end of the day, you forget some of what you learned, nusbaum saidbut if you sleep after that, it restores some of what you learned the students who took part in the evening training sessions performed better the next morning after sleeping, than they did after being trainedthe role that dreams play in the learning processif anyisnt clearbut some dreams could serve as a kind of practice for the brain, nusbaum saidif you play a video game a lot, and youre playing in your dreams, maybe that could help you learnjerry siegel, professor at the center for sleep research at the university of calfornia, los angeles, said going without sleep hurts performance, but hes not convinced that sleep itself actively contributes to learningif you take a break for a few hours, it can easily be shown that learning did occur, because performance is better at the start of a new learning session than it was at the end of the initial session, he saidno sleep needs to occur for this to happen still, siegel suggested that sleep before learning a skill is crucialfor long-term retention, it is more important to be well rested and therefore attentive when you are doing the learning than afterwards, he saidit is even better if you dont have to choose and get your natural amounts of sleep every day 9what does the underlined word want （in paragraph 1） mean? alackbwish cdesiredneed 10what is mainly talked about in this text? athe effect of video games on learningbthe relation between sleep and learningcthe role of dreams in the learning processdthe difference between morning and evening trainings11what would be the best title for the text? asleep strengthens learningbdreams

results at onceblearning wont occur during sleeping without dreamscsleeping well helps to absorb what one learneddstudying all night helps to remember more facts参考答案 9-12 dbac *结束1.（201*山东卷）since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. brain-computer interface(bci) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.recently, two researchers, jose milan and michele tavella from the federal polytechnic school in lausanne, switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts.in the laboratory, tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. he could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve ceils. these send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. but spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” tavella says. “our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.” the researchers designed a special cap for the user. this head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. the computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. the wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. they help the computer react to commands from the brain. prof. milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “the practical possibilities that bci technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. one example is this wheelchair.”he says his team has set two goals. one is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. and the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.a. help to update computer systems b. link the human brain with computersc. help the disabled to recover d. control a persons thoughts 72. how did tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory? a. by controlling his muscles. b. by talking to the machine. c. by moving his hand. d. by using his mind.73. which of the following shows the path of the signals described in paragraph 5? a. scalpcomputercapwheelchair b. computercapscalpwheelchair c. scalpcapcomputerwheelchair d. capcomputerscalpwheelchair74. the team will test with real patients to a. make profits from them b. prove the technology useful to them c. make them live longer d. learn about their physical condition75. which of the following would be the best title for the text? a. switzerland, the bci research center b. new findings about how the human brain works c. bci could mean more freedom for the disabledd. robotic vehicles could help to cure brain injuries【解析】：71-75:bdcbc【语篇解读】本文是一则新闻报道，介绍了brain-computer interface(bci)技术的发明，原理和对残疾人带来的益处。71. b。细节理解题。从第一段第一句话可知。72.d细节理解题。见第二段“tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left

meaning in a world of noise. here he explains himself (using his indoor voice):“weve become so accustomed to noise, theres almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. if you tell someone to be quiet, you sound like an old man. but its never been more important to find continuing quiet. silence focuses us, improves our health, and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.”“we need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. during a japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds become a kind of artthe spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono(和服)brushing against the floor.”“deaf people are very attentive(专注的)in almost every aspect of life. if two deaf people are walking together, using sign language, they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other. they are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings. even deaf teenagers! we in the hearing world can learn from them. if we remove the powerful blasts(一阵阵)of noise, we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around usof little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps, of bird songs and ice cracking(开裂声). its astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen. ”【文章大意】文章介绍了george prochnik的新著listening for meaning in a world of noise和他的观点：在喧嚣的世界中创造一方不太纷扰的环境，这个世界会更美好。72. what does the phrase “to put a sock in it” in paragraph 1 probably mean?a. to be quiet b. to be colorful c. to be full of love d. to be at
