19、llowed by a good nights sleep.Researchers from the University of Chicago asked volunteers to remember simple words. Many found their memories letting them down towards the end of the day, but the following morning, those who had slept well could remember much more.Researchers, writing in the journal

20、 Nature , said the brain could “rescue” lost memories during the night.4 / 92020春高中英语牛津译林版修八Unit 3 巩固提升练习题二(Project)（无答案）When the brain is first asked to remember something, that memory is laid down in an “unstable” state, which means it is possible that it could be lost.At some point, the brain con

21、solidates (强化) those which are thought important into a “stable”, more permanent state.However, the Chicago researchers suggested that it was possible for a “stable” memory to be made “unstable” again. This would mean that memories could be slightly changed and then be kept in a new order again in t

22、he face of new experiences. The 12 volunteers who were tested in the experiment were asked to listen to words created through a speech synthesizer (语音合成器) which were purposely difficult to understand.At the very beginning, the written version of the word was available, but afterwards the volunteers

23、were asked to identify the word just depending on the sound they heard.Tests showed that the ability to remember the right word tended to weaken as the day ended. However, when the volunteers were retested after a good nights sleep, they were able to recall some words that they had “forgotten” the p

24、revious evening.Dr Daniel, one of the study authors, said “Sleep strengthens memories, protecting them against later interference or decay (衰减).”“Sleep also appears to recover or restore memories,” he said. “If the function of memory is reduced by decay, sleep might actively recover what has been lo

25、st.”Dr Karim Nader, from the Department of Psychology in McGill University in Montreal, said, “Memory research is experiencing a transformation. No longer is memory thought to be a hardware of the brain, instead it seems to be a process of storage and re-storage. Sleep helps some memories fully grow

26、n up and also removes unimportant memories.”36. What tends to happen to a person at the end of the day according to the report?A. He may feel tired. B. He may feel sleepy.C. His memory weakens. D.

What do you think caused this ch

30、ange in colour? It is soil that has been washed into the river from the riverbank or from the nearby fields.Components of soilSoil is made up of a number of layers, each having its own distinctive colour and texture. The upper layer is known as the litter. It acts like a blanket, limiting temperatur

31、e changes and reducing water loss. The topsoil layer is made up of small particles of rock mixed with rotten plant and animal matter called humus (腐 殖 质 ), which is black and gives the topsoil its dark colour. This layer is usually rich in nutrients, oxygen, and water. Below the topsoil is the subso

32、il, a layer that contains more stones mixed with only small amounts of organic matter. This layer is lighter in colour because of the lack of humus. Beneath the soil lies a layer of bedrock.Soil forms from the bottom up. Over time bedrock is attacked by rain, wind, frost, and snow. It is gradually b

33、roken down into smaller particles in a process called weathering. Plants begin to grow, and rotten materials enrich the topsoil. Most of the soil in Eastern Canada, for example, was formed from weathered rock that was exposed when the ice disappeared 12,000 years ago.Water beneath the soilSurface wa

34、ter collects and flows above the ground in lakes, ponds, and rivers. Once in the soil or rock, it is called groundwater. Gravity pulls groundwater through the soil in a process called percolation ( 渗 透 ). Eventually the water reaches a layer called the water table. Under this is bedrock through whic

35、h water cannot percolate.As water percolates downward, it dissolves organic matter and minerals from the soil and carries them to deeper layers. This causes a serious problem because plants require these nutrients for growth.Soil pHS oil can be acidic, neutral, or basic. The pH of the soil is determ

36、ined by the nature of the rock from which it was formed, and by the nature of the plants that grow and rot in it.T he acidity of rain and snow can lower the pH of the groundwater that enters the soil. By burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gasoline, humans have been contributing to higher lev

37、els of acidity in many soils. When fossil fuels are burned,6 / 92020春高中英语牛津译林版修八Unit 3 巩固提升练习题二(Project)（无答案）gases are released into the air and then fall back to earth as acid rain. Acid soil increases the problem of carrying nutrients to lower soil levels. As nutrients are removed, soil is less fe

38、rtile. Plants grow more slowly in acid soil, and also become easily attacked by diseases.40. The layer of soil that provides necessary nutrients for plant growth iscalled .A. litter B. topsoil C. humus D. subsoil41. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Soil forms

39、 from weathered rock on the earth surface.B. The deeper layer of soil is darker in colour than the surface soil.C. Air pollution is partially responsible for acid soil.D. Groundwater tends to carry away nutrients for plant growth.42. We can infer from the passage that the water table lies .A. betwee

40、n the topsoil layer and the subsoil layerB. in the subsoil layer above bedrockC. between the subsoil layer and bedrockD. in the bedrock layer beneath the subsoil43. The underlined word “dissolve ” is used to express the idea thatorganic matter and minerals from soil are .A. rushed away into the rive

41、rB. cleaned and purified by waterC. destroyed and carried away by water D. mixed with water and become part of itCFranz Kafka wrote that “a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us.” I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didnt seem to require any explanatio

42、n.Wed just finished John Steinbecks novelOf Mice and Men. When we read theend together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told her, “and the funny th

43、ing is Ive read it many times.”But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, Ive taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who a

44、re parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighbourhoods. They understand, more than I ever will, the novels terrible logicthe giving way of dreams to fate (命运).For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of literatur

45、e with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattans upper classes7 / 92020春高

46、中英语牛津译林版修八Unit 3 巩固提升练习题二(Project)（无答案）into a less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional “cultural capital” could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would un

47、avoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph.D.s.Along withOf Mice and Men, my groups read:Sounder, The Red Pony, Lordof the Flies, Romeo and Julietand Macbeth. The students didnt always read fromthe expected point of vi

48、ew. AboutThe Red Pony, one student said, “Its aboutbeing a man, its about manliness.” I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeths soliloquies (独白) read as raps ( 说 唱 ), but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, butserious. Once introduced to Steinbecks writing, one boy went on to readTheGrapes of Wrathand told me repeatedly how amazing it was that “all these people hate each other, and theyre all white.” His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening.
