A A 字数 343完成时间 15 分钟难度 Burning the midnight oil before an exam or interview has an opposite effect according to a research which found that sleep is necessary for memories to be downloaded into the brain A good night s sleep within 30 hours of trying to remember a new task is a necessary condition of having good recall in the weeks ahead scientists have found We think that getting that first night s sleep starts the process of memory consolidation 加强 said Robert Stickgold a sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School who conducted the latest study It seems that memories are normally washed out of the brain unless some process nails them down I feel uncertain that sleep is one of those things that do the nailing down Professor Stickgold said Professor Stickgold s team trained the 24 people to tell the direction of three diagonal bars 斜线 shown for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal stripes 水平线 Half the subjects were kept awake that night while the others slept Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers Those who slept the first night were much better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement in spite of enjoying two nights of catch up sleep A further study by scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck in Germany showed that memories are laid down in two stages during the night The first is during the deep so called slow wave sleep which usually takes place in the first half of the night The second and less important stage happens during the periods of dreaming or rapid eye movement REM When people don t sleep well in the first half of the night their memory consolidation is almost the same as having no sleep at

some process helps memories to be washed out of the brain B Professor Stickgold is doubtful about whether sleep can make memories worse C some memories normally influence the function of the brain D sleep may can improve the condition of memories 3 How was the research conducted by Professor Stickgold A The subjects were divided into two groups B All the subjects were kept awake for 3 nights C One group slept at the first night but was kept awake the next two nights D One group was kept awake for 3 nights but the other slept for the second and third nights 4 What was the study result of the scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck A REM sleep is not important at all for the consolidation for memory B Intellectual performance mainly depends on the slow wave sleep period C When people sleep poorly in the first half of the night it is almost the same as having no sleep at all D REM sleep is as important as slow wave sleep in terms of memory recall 5 The BEST title of this passage is A Sleep Necessary for Memories B The Importance of the First Stage of Sleep C Studies Made by Scientists About Sleep D The Scientists Achievement in Sleep Research B B 字数 290完成时间 10 分钟难度 The blockbuster film Titanic has brought millions of dollars and thousands of people to the theaters and continues to touch people today in their homes Why is this film so successful It is a combination of many different things Among these are many different elements Looking at some of these elements will show how the director and others involved were able to create an emotionally charged movie that appealed to millions The film uses one thematic 主题的 element called The Truth of Human Nature The two main characters seem to represent noble people Most of the other characters in the film are shown as non tolerant rude and cold hearted people The element of focusing on the two main characters love and emotion seems symbolic of an ideal state There are also social problems addressed This is done in a few different ways The most noticeable way is that the lower class people remain locked in the basement as the ship goes down Throughout Titanic the lighting is very 用心 爱心 专心4 important The poor lower class people are always shown in very warm coloured light that gives them a sense of life and happiness On the other hand the rich upper class are always shown in a flat light portraying the feeling of hardness and coldness By using these techniques they show the issue of class segregation 种族隔离 and they create stereotypes The main characters are able to break free of these
