32、 important to students around the world. In order to make sure that they do their best, both students and teachers should stay informed of how these tests are changing. Clive Roberts, a director at ELS Educational Services, says the tests are changing greatly in response to the global growth in the
33、use of English as a common language among people with different native languages. He says English “is one of the keys now to international student mobility. So, for that reason, a lot of new tests are being developed; old tests are being revamped to meet the needs of universities and employers world
34、wide.”Mr. Roberts says several parts of standardized tests have changed recently. Now, many tests are given on computers. And, he says, tests measure all four skills of language learning: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Computer testing will reduce the length of time required for testing,
35、because the tests adjust to the testtakers ability. These computeradaptive tests also increase accuracy in scoring. Computeradaptive tests change depending on the testtakers responses. They can become more or less difficult during the testing session. For this reason, the set of correct answers will
36、 be different for each testtaker.Another change to language testing relates to cultural sensitivity. Mr. Roberts says test development companies are now hiring people with intercultural communication backgrounds. The companies want to make sure the test does not upset testtakers. Having negative fee
37、lings may affect a students performance on the test.The tests have also become more proficiencyoriented. The items are being designed in such a way that they test realworld proficiency and not simply sort of an artificial environment or a specific set of skills that are taught in a classroom. So a l

43、nfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “firstnight” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.Dr. Sasaki knew the “firstnight” effec
44、t probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that th
45、ey can rest while remaining watchful enough to avoid predators(捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, the team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the universitys Department of Psychological Sciences. The part
46、icipants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall as
47、leep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres(半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.8Curious if the left hemispheres were ind
48、eed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki reran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps(蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if t
49、he left hemisphere was staying watchful to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.(C)32. What did researchers find puzzling about the “firstnight” effect?A. To what extent it can trouble people.B. What role it has played in evolutionC. In what way it can be beneficial.D. What circumstances may set it off.【解析】第二段第二句可知答案。第二段开头指出，佐佐木博士知道， “第一
