18、ome by 10 oclock. OK, Mom, I will. A / B me C this D one 答案： A 阅读理解 Advice to “sleep on it” could be well founded, scientists say. After a good nights sleep, a problem, which couldnt be solved the night before, can often seem more manageable, although the evidence until now has been anecdotal (个人体验的
19、 ). But researchers, at the University of Luebek in Germany, have designed an experiment that shows a good nights sleep can improve insight (顿悟 ) and problem-solving. “If you have some newly-got memories in your brain, sleep acts on these memories and restructures (重新组织 ) them, and as a result, afte
20、r sleep, the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases,” said Dr Jan Born, a neuroscientist (神经科学家 ), at the university. To test the theory, they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them turn a string of (一连串 ) numbers into a new order. There was also a third, hidden rul
21、e, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem. The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups: Half were allowed to sleep after the training, while the rest were forced to stay awake. Dr Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training wer
22、e twice as likely to figure out (想出 ) the third rule as the other group. “Sleep helped,” Born said in a telephone interview. “The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation (描绘，表现 ) of the problem you want to solve in your brain and then you sleep, so it can act on the problem.
23、” But Born admitted that he and his team dont know how restructuring of memories occurs or what governs it. Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the anecdotal suggestions that sleep can help develop creative thinking. Although t
24、he role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery, the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added. 57. The underlined phrase “sleep on it” in Paragraph 1 probably means _. A. to delay deciding something until the next day B. to get as much sleep
25、as possible C. to go on sleeping without being disturbed D. to sleep till after the time you usually get up in the morning 58. Jan Born and his team carried out the experiment through _. A. comparison B. interview C. survey D. imagination 59. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. people sho

Using the same technology as a dehumidifier (除湿器 ), the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because i
36、t can always get it from an unlimited sourcethe air. The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water in developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage. The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter (过滤器
37、 ) and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water drops. It can produce up to 12 liters a day. The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases. In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same
38、amount of electricity as three lights. Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart. So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.” The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost 800 when it goes on sale here in
39、 the spring. Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly (粗略地 ) calculates that a litre of water cost around 20p to produce. Environmentalists state that half the worlds population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080. One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking. The

43、题 4】 B Why People Get Tattoos Jack lay, quiet and unmoving, for thirty minutes while a stranger repeatedly stabbed (刺 ) him with sharp needles, causing blood to pour steadily out of his leg. Jack was getting a tattoo. His friend Tony had recently gotten a tattoo, and Jack was so impressed by it that
44、 he decidedto get one too. Peer pressure, media influence, and personal expression are some of the common reasons for wearing tattoos today. The desire to be accepted by ones friends or peers can have a great influence on what a person does. Sometimes, wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong
45、to a certain group. Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group. Some of these groups wear only brandname clothes. Others wear tattoos. When a persons friends are all doing something, that person is more likely to do the same thing. The media is another big influen
46、ce behind the popularity of tattoos in North America. A wide variety of media images (人物，图像 ) show tattoos-people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars, famous sports heroes with tattoos in magazines, fashion models wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and
47、 colorful patterns. These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status. As a result, many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value. Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or their feelings-in other words
48、, to show their individuality (个性 ). A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm. Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders. A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a persons life. As you can see, there are many reasons why young North Americans get tattoos. A tattoo can be part of a groups uniform, a sign of fashion or an expression of individuality. The decision to get a tattoo is most often a result of the influence of friends or media
