I feel uncertain that sleep is one of those things that do the nailing down，” Professor Stickgold said.Professor Stickgolds 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 catchup 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, socalled “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 dont sleep well in the first half of the night, their memory consolidation is almost the same as having no sleep at all.1. Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to the first paragraph?A. It is necessary to burn the midnight oil before an exam or interview.B. Sleep speeds up the loss of memory.C. Man should have a good sleep if he wants to keep a good memory.D. Staying up late will make you better prepared for an exam or interview.2. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that_.A. some process helps memories to be washed out of the brainB. Professor Stickgold is doubtful about whether sleep can make memories worseC. some memories normally influence the function of the brainD. sleep may can improve the condition of memories3. 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 MemoriesB. The Importance of the First Stage of SleepC. Studies Made by Scientists About SleepD. The Scientists Achievement in Sleep ResearchB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.

Though much ecotalk has centered on biofuels from corn and soybeans, the biofuel that looks more likely to replace petroleum comes from a most unlikely source: algae(藻类)Algae, like corn, soybeans, and other crops, grow via photosynthesis(光合作用) and can be processed into fuel oil. However, they yield 30 times more energy than land crops such as soybeans, according to the US. Department of Energy. Many algae species also can grow in saltwater and polluted waterwhile corn and soy require arable land and fresh water that will be in short supply as the worlds population balloons.“If you replaced all the diesel(柴油) in the US. with soy biodiesel, it would take half the land mass of the US. to grow those soybeans，” says Matt Caspari, chief executive of Aurora Biofuels, a Berkeley, Califbased private firm that specializes in algae oil technology. On the other hand, the Energy Department says that if algae fuel replaced all the petroleum fuel in the United States, it would require 15,000 square miles, which is a few thousand miles larger than Maryland (12,407 square miles), the 42nd state in land area.Another bonus: Because algae can be grown just about anywhere in a closed space, theyre being tested at several power plants across the nation as a carbon absorber. Smokestack emissions (烟囱排放物) can be pumped directly into the ponds, feeding the algae while keeping greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.Although processing technology for algae fuelalso known as “oilgae” in some environmentalist circlesis improving, its still years away from reaching your local gas pump. “Its just a question of cost, because no largescale facilities have been built yet，” Caspari says.1.
