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. according to the passage, to have a good memory, a person had better _ at night. 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 recommended 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. the third paragragh is mainly about _ of the most recent study. a. the process b. the results c. the participants d. the content答案解析：答案为a。通读第三段可知，本段是关于研究的过程。故答案为a。4. 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。阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。for those who are tired of doing the laundry, samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app (application) .strange though it may seem“my wife already does that”was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the consumer electronics show (ces) this weeksamsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a large number of internet- connected features in machines in an effort to make them“smart. ”last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. this year, its wi- fi- enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.the washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. the phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owner is at work or on the bus.samsung says its not just something newthe app connection actually has some practical uses.“if you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when you come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go, ”said spokesperson amy schmidt.the company also says that with electricity rates (电价) varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money.perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies doenable laziness. rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching tv.1. what can be inferr
