26-30CDDAB【文章综述】文章讲述了两名乘客就卧铺位发生争吵，在年轻人主动把自己的铺位让给他人后，一切才恢复平静。文章反驳了目前人们对青年人的偏见，作者深信年轻的一代是有希望的。【答案解析】11.A

A.train 火车B.bus公交车C.car汽车D.plane飞机；根据上文的Berth(铺位)No.55，可判断出是发生在火车的事情。12.C

A.teachers老师B.villagers村民C.tourists游客D.workers工人；根据第一段最后一句的“hadapapergivenbyhistravelagenttosupporthimself”可知，这队人是旅游者。13.A

A.declared宣布B.promised许诺C.indicated 表明，指出D.advised建议；根据下文的“thatheownedBerthNo．55”和两个人之间的吵架可知，这个人是在“宣称”这个铺位是为他所有。14.B

A.still仍然B.even甚至C.yet已经D.also也；前面提到此人认为这个铺位是他的，而后又称自己有旅行社提供的“apaper”铺位证明，前后之间是进一步的关系。15.D

A.Conduct行为B.machine机器C.seat 座位D.ticket票；根据后面的“toldthesecondmanthatitwasnothisberth”可知，这个人应该是列车上的检票工作人员。16.B

A.fight 打架B.leave离开C.sing唱歌D.learn学习；列车上的警察尽力让第二个人离开。17.B

A.goaway走开B.givein屈服C.holdon 等一下；继续D.calmdown冷静下来；本句话的意思是：他不愿意屈服。18.A

A.companions同伴；朋友B.soldiers士兵C.teachers老师D.passengers乘客；这个中年人属于一个旅游团，因此，此处的意思是他有很多同伴在支持他。19.C

A.soonafter 稍后B.longbefore很久以前C.longafter 之后不久D.everafter甚至在…之后；根据“Fierceargumentscontinued”以及此时的语境知，他们应该是出发后很长时间还在吵架。20.C

A.designed设计B.stopped停止C.pulled 拉D.escaped逃脱；他们俩的吵闹声很大，以致竟然有人拉响了“应急链”21.D

A.read 读B.enter进入C.eat 吃D.sleep睡觉；根据下文的“itwasgettinglate”和最后一段的“wassoonlostindeep，peacefulsleep”可知，此时天色已很晚，却无人能够入眠。22.A

A.Suddenly 突然B.Immediately立刻 C.Unluckily 不幸地D.Meanwhile同时；吵架一直在进行，一直到作者上铺的一个学生让了铺位才终止了这次吵架，因此，这个学生的介入是“突然地”。23.B

A.businessman商人B.student学生C.nurse护士D.reporter记者；根据下文的“Tomygreatsurprise，thestudentthen”可知，这位青少年应该是一名学生。24.C

A.lend 借出B.rent租C.take 接受D.spot满是斑点；根据下文的“whoacceptedit”和最后一段作者对这个人的评价可以知道，这个学生主动让出了自己的铺位。25.B

A.worry担心B.hesitation 犹豫C.delay 推迟D.fear恐惧；毕竟那是别人的无私的好意，因此，对于这个学生的好意，这个人在接受之前有一点犹豫，这符合当时这个人的心理活动。26.C

A.threw扔B.found发现C.spread铺开D.collected收集；根据下文的“wassoonlostindeep，peacefulsleep”可知，这个学生是把报纸铺在地面上睡觉的。动词spread的意思是“铺开，展开”。27.D

A.thankful 感谢的B.sorry抱歉的C.happy 开心的D.quiet安静的；一开始两人吵架，弄得车上不得安宁，而一旦两人安静下来，大家都要去睡觉了(正如这个学生一样)，所以大家都马上安静下来。28.D

A.controlled 控制B.troubled 惹麻烦C.greeted问候D.taught教；此处指作为58岁的生物老师，作者刚教了两代青年学生。29.A

A.convinced说服；使信服B.satisfied满意C.disappointed 失望D.encouraged鼓励；根据下文的“contrarytopopularopinions”可知，作者是在反驳目前人们对青年人的偏见，自己深信年轻的一代是有希望的，特别是这件事更加强了作者对此的看法。30.B

A.prouder自豪的B.nobler高贵的；高尚的C.cooler 冷静的D.lazier懒惰的；作者这一天所看到的是：这个年轻人主动把自己的铺位让给他人。这正表明年轻人是“很高尚的”。三、阅读理解18.Itturnsoutthatnoddingoffinclassmaynotbesuchabadideaafterall,asanewstudyhasshownthatgoingtosleepshortlyafterlearningnewmaterialisthebestwaytorememberit．AccordingtoUSleadauthorJessicaPayne,apsychologistattheUniversityofNotreDameinIndiana,noddingoffafterlearningsomethingnewislike"telling"thesleepingbrainwhattoremember．Alongwithcolleagues,shestudied207studentswhohabituallysleptforatleastsixhourspernight．Participantswerecasuallyselectedtostudydeclarative（陈述的）,semantically（语义上）relatedorunrelatedwordpairsat9amor9pm,andreturnedfortesting30minutes,12hoursor24ourslater．Declarativememoryreferstotheabilitytorememberfactsandeventswithawareness,andcanbebrokendownintoepisodicmemory（memoryforevents）andsemanticmemory（memoryforfactsabouttheworld）．Peopleroutinelyusebothtypesofmemoryeveryday—recallingwhereweparkedtodayorlearninghowacolleaguepreferstobeaddressed．Atthe12-hourretest,memoryoverallwasbetterfollowinganightofsleepcomparedtoadayofwakefulness．Atthe24-hourretest,withallsubjectshavingreceivedbothafullnightofsleepandafulldayofwakefulness,subjects'memorieswerebetterwhensleepoccurredshortlyafterlearning,ratherthanfollowingafulldayofwakefulness．"Ourstudyconfirmsthatsleepingdirectlyafterlearningsomethingnewisbeneficialformemory．What'snewaboutthisstudyisthatwetriedtoshinelightonsleep'sinfluenceonbothtypesofdeclarativememorybystudyingsemanticallyunrelatedandrelatedwordpairs,"Paynesaid．"Sincewefoundthatsleepingsoonafterlearningbenefitedbothtypesofmemory,thismeansthatitwouldbeagoodthingtopractiseanyinformationyouneedtorememberjustbeforegoingtobed．Insomesense,youmaybe'telling'thesleepingbrainwhattoremember．"67．TheresearchledbyJessicaPayretriesto_____．
