Not only do babies get to doze their days away, but theyve also mastered the fine art of learning in their sleep.By the time babies are one year old, they can
9、recognize a lot of sounds and even simple words. Marie Cheour at the University of Turku in Finland suspected that they might progress this fast because they learn language while they sleep as well as when they are awake.To test the theory, Cheour and their colleagues studied 45 newborn babies in th
10、e first days of their lives. They exposed all the infants to an hour of Finnish vowel sounds one that sounds like “oo“; another like “ee“ and the third boundary vowel peculiar to Finnish and similar languages that sounds like something in between. EEG (脑电图) recording of the infants brains before and
11、 after the session showed that the newborns could not distinguish the sounds.Fifteen of the babies then went back with their mothers, where the rest were split into two sleep-study groups. One group was exposed throughout their night-time sleeping hours to the same three vowels, while the others lis
12、tened to the other, easier-to-distinguish vowel sounds.When tested in the morning, and again in the evening, the babies whod heard the tricky boundary vowels all night showed brainwave activity indicating that they could now recognize this sound. They could identify the sound even when its pitch was
13、 changed, while none of the other babies could pick up the boundary vowel at all.Cheour doesnt know how babies accomplish this nighttime learning, but she suspects that the special ability might indicate that unlike adults, babies dont “turn oft“ their cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) while they sleep: The sk
14、ill probably fades in the course of the first years of life, she adds so forget the idea that you can pick up the tricky French vowels as an adult just by slipping a language tape under your pillow. But while it may not help grown-ups, Cheour is hoping to use the sleeping hours to give remedial help

18、Adult Education1. Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education. Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults. Adults may want to study something*which they missed in earlier schooling, get new skills or
19、 job training, find out about new technological developments, seek better self-understanding ,or develop new talents and skills.2. This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries, correspondence courses, or broadcasting. It may also be acquir
20、ed collectively in schools and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs, and professional associations.3. Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution. Great economic and social changes were taking place: people
21、were moving from rural areas to cities, new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system. These and other factors produced a need for further education and re-education of adults.4. The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with the fo
22、unding of an adult school in Nottingham and a mechanics institute in Glasgow. The earliest adult education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in Philadelphia in 1727.5. People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment
23、today. For example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs. Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.（分数：8.00）(1).Some adults want to learn_.A. by soc

27、an possible suggest itself;that of William Shakespeare. Nearly every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of this greatest writer. We use words, phrases and quotations form Shakespeares writings that have become part of the common property of English-peaking people. Most of the
28、 time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use. For example, and old lady, after seeing a performance of Hamlet complained, “It was full of well-known proverbs and quotations!“Shakespeare made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousan
29、d words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Suc
30、h a study is well worth the effort, even thought some aspects of English and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeares day.It is a pity that we know so little about the life of the greatest English author. We only know that he was born in 1564 in Stratford on Avon, and that then die
31、d there in 1616. He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town, but of this we cannot be sure. We know he was married there in 1582 and had three children. We know that he spent much of his life in London, writing his masterpieces. But this is almost all that we do know.However, what i
32、s important about Shakespeares life is not its incidental details but its products, the plays and the poems. For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeares life to the small number we already posses and for an equally long time critics have been theorizing about the p
33、lays. Sometimes indeed, it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear beneath the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.Fortunately this is not likely to happen. Shakespeares poetry and Shakespeares characters (Macbeth, Othello, Hamlet and all the others) have long delighted n
34、ot just the English but lovers of literature everywhere, and will continue to do so after the scholars and commentators and all their works have been forgotten.（分数：15.00）(1).How can we best describe the popularity of Shakespeares works among the English speaking people?A.

With so many pla
41、nts, animals, and other creatures covering the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is moving up your leg or what kind of bird is flying by.A soon-to-be-launched Web site might help. An international team of researchers has announced the creation of a Web-based Encyclopedia (百科全
42、书) of Life (EoL). The project aims to catalog every species on Earth in a single, easy-to-use reference guide.To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases (数据库) that already exist. And eventually, in special sections of the site, non-scientists with sp
43、ecialized (专门的) knowledge will get to join in. Bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input which birds theyve seen and where. The technology for this kind of tool has only recently become available.As the EoL develops, you might find it useful for school projects. The site will feature special
44、 pa ges for kids who are studying ecosystems (生态系统) in their neighborhoods. To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it. People who visit the site will be able to choose to leave out pages that havent been reviewed.Another convenient feature
45、of the EoL is that youll be able to pick the level of detail you see to match your interests, age, and current knowledge. If you wanted to learn about bears for a science class report, for example, you could use the “novice “ setting to get basic information about the animals. On the “expert“ settin
46、g, on the other hand, you could get much more detailed information about the history, literature, and exploration of bears.It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species. The creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed
47、 that process.（分数：15.00）(1).“Spider“ and “bird“ mentioned in paragraph 1 are examples to illustrateA. animals are peoples friends.B. there are numerous living species on Earth.C. it is easy to see spiders and birds.D. there are many types of spiders and birds.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The goal of the cre
