Over the course of three experiments on 35young and healthy volunteers, researchers

11、in a new study measured brain activity during two continuous nights of sleep.Sasaki and colleagues performed a series of lab tests by stimulating the left and then the right hemisphere(大脑的半球)with sounds. On the second night, there wasnt any difference in reactions to tests between the left and right

12、 hemispheres, even during deep sleep. This suggests that there is a first-night-only effect specifically in one hemisphere of the brain during deep sleep, the authors conclude. The way participants responded to the sleep lab tests points to the potential for the brain to be on high alert for danger

13、during the first night in unfamiliar surroundings. While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make brief overnight trips, it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time, Sasaki added by email. “Frequent travel may lead to unrestful sleep,” Sasaki

14、said. “But if you stay for a few days at the same place, your sleep might catch up.”Some birds have been found to actually sleep with one eye open and one side of the brain awake when theyre in a dangerous setting, and some marine mammals have similar abilities, the authors note. But the new study f

15、ocuses on healthy volunteers but not people with insomnia or other sleep disorders, the authors note.“The clinical implications havent been confirmed at the moment,” Finan, a psychiatry （精神医学）and behavioral health researcher said. “However, the level of specificity provided by these analyses could b

16、e an important first step in understanding what sleep disorders like insomnia(失眠) arise from, which is thought to be driven in many patients by continuing having a lot of worries.”1、What do the underlined words “may not be too far off the mark” in Paragraph 1 mean?AMay make senseBMay be ridiculous.C

17、May cause argumentsDMay be disturbing.2、What can we know from Paragraph 3?APeople are used to waking up and going to bed early when travelling.BBusiness travelers usually have a brief sleep at night.CIt brings much trouble to those who stay far away from their homes.DIt takes time for people to adap

18、t themselves to a new environment.3、According to Finan, the study is helpful in _.Afinding out the root cause of sleep disordersBtelling the effect of worries on sleep disordersCcomforting as many patients with sleep disorders as possibleDoffering ways to free the patients from the suffering of slee

20、old Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (痴迷的) people are with taking pictures these days - before dinner, during friends birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkels latest study has just found

21、out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next day the students memory of the tour was tested, a

22、nd the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.When people rely on technology to remember them counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it ca

23、n have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that werent in

24、 the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldnt reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos,

25、rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they arent usually very organized on their computers.1、Why did the author mention Hen

26、kels trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning?ATo complain about some tourists bad habits.BTo give suggestions on how to enjoy ones tour.CTo point out peoples obsession with taking pictures.DTo describe the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon.2、What can we learn from Henkels study?AReviewing picture

27、s always helps people bring back memories easily.BTaking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.CPeople should spend more time taking pictures than studying real objects.DPictures focusing on the details of objects probably improve peoples memories.3、The underlined word “i

29、evable study into the negative impact of lining cameras often.23（8分）Many people may have watched the film “March of the Penguins”, which shows a real group of birds in Antarctica. Imagine a group of fat black and white birds walking in a line. Suddenly, one penguin loses his balance and falls on the

30、 ice. Every time penguins fall down, people laugh. The animals are cute!People like the film very much. So much, in fact, that police in England think that it may be the reason behind a crime. A man went to a zoo in London and stole a baby penguin. Authorities think that the man stole the penguin af

31、ter seeing the film and believe he wanted to give it away as a Christmas gift.Michael Gauthier-Clerc, an expert studying penguins, thinks that many people like penguins but some people do not understand them. He told The New York Times newspaper, “People love the penguins colors, its way of standing

32、 straight upright and the way it walks.”These things make penguins seem cute to people, but there are good reasons for all of these things. For example, penguins move from side to side when they walk and may seem to be out of balance. But Doctor Gauthier-Clerc says that the penguins waddle to save e

33、nergy. The penguins colour also has a special purpose. It protects the penguins when they are swimming. From below, larger animals cannot see the penguins white underside because it looks the same as the bright sky or ice. And from above, other animals cannot see the penguins black back against the

34、dark ocean floor.The penguins colors protect them in nature. But scientists have found that some of these physical details also have an effect on humans. They make animals seem cute to people. Scientists believe that humans are very sensitive to things that are cute, such as human baby and even obje

35、cts that may look like parts of a baby.Recent studies show that cute images affect the brain in a special way. A study done at the University of Michigan tested young peoples reactions to images. It found that young people believed a message more if the message was joined by a cute picture. The rese

36、archers showed the young people two messages. One was a simple anti-smoking message. The other showed a cute animal telling them that smoking was bad. The conclusion turned out that the young people trusted the cute message more than the simple message.1、In the film “March of the Penguins”, _.Aa bab

Actually, Kasaine is

40、 tracking lions. Particularly, he is tracking one lion called Marti.Tracking lions on foot may sound dangerous, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born in a traditional Maasai family, he understood the beauty and risk of the wildlife. Living with big game forces him to develop a goo

41、d sense of where animals have been and where they might be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid other dangerous animals.

42、 But maybe Kasaine didnt know that, years later, he would be tracking lions specifically to encounter them and to protect them. Today he leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over a red sandy path in the reserve, searching for the lion that has left upon it his unmistakable prints.Each year, ten

43、s of thousands of tourists come to Kenyas national parks to try to visit the “big five”: elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes, and lions. The attraction of these animals to people all over the world means that the nations economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenyas wildlife di

44、sappears, so does its second-largest source of income.Considering the rapid urban development in Kenya, this isnt unimaginable. In 2016, a study shows that many of the nations most treasured species have fallen to less than one-third of their population counting from just 40 years ago. The number of

45、 lions fell too. In 1998, the nation was home to over 15,000; only about 2,000 remain today. Several experts have predicted they could disappear entirely from the country in the next two decades.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya must be at the sacrifice of other things. People were forced to leav

46、e their land and into smaller surrounding regions. Communities like Kasaines are now finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But they are glad that their sacrifice really makes a difference.1、What did Kasaine learn on his way to school and back home?AThe beauty

47、and risk of the wildlife.BThe method of telling different plants.CThe skills of telling different paw prints.DThe lifestyle of a traditional Maasai family.2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AThe lion.BThe path.CThe reserve.DThe group.3、Why is Kenya making efforts to protect

49、 2016.CThe nations economy is experiencing a very hard period.DSpecies in Kenya decreased every year in the recent ten years.5、How does Kasaine feel about his sacrifice?AUnpleasant.BHopeful.CDoubtful.DWorthwhile.25（10分）Imagine that youre the creator and show runner of the newest comedy show on telev

50、ision. Only it isnt so popular yet, and your live Studio audience isnt giving you the big laughs the show deserves. Do you film the show all over again, hoping that this time the audience will laugh? Or is there another option for making a joke sound funnier than it was received?Sweeten(改善) the soun

51、d by adding a laugh track! “Sweetening,” or the addition of sound effects such as laughs, screams, and other audience-produced noises to the audio track of a TV show, has been used since the 1940s to produce the appearance, or rather the sound, of an engaged and entertained response to a shows comed

52、y. Laugh tracks came into existence as not only a solution, and sometimes replacement, for an unengaged live audience but also as a way to engage an at-home audience into a more-traditional, public, and theaterlike experience. Adding a laugh track to a television show makes the viewers at home feel

53、much less like theyre sitting on a couch staring at the television screen and much more like theyre in a room full of laughing happy people to varying degrees of success.Though the art of sweetening has risen and fallen in popularity over the past 60 years, credit for its creation and continued use

54、is owed to laugh-track pioneer and sound engineer Charles Douglass. Douglass was the first to develop, in 1953, a machine for producing “canned laughter”, accessible at the push of a button or pull of a lever (操纵杆). Despite being artificial, sensibly edited laugh tracks are found by television studi
