22．（8分）Learning New Vocabulary during Deep Sleep
Sleeping time is sometimes considered unproductive time. This raises the question whether the time spent asleep could be used more productively, e.g. for learning a new language? Up-to-now sleep research focused on the stabilization and strengthening of memories that had been formed during wakefulness. However, learning during sleep has rarely been examined. There is enough evidence for wake-learned information undergoing a revision by replay in the sleeping brain. The replay during sleep strengthens the still weak memory and leaves the newly acquired information in the
pre-existing store of knowledge.
If re-play during sleep improves the storage of wake-learned information, then
first-play, i.e. the initial processing of new information, should also be possible during sleep.
The research group of Katharina Henke examined whether a sleeping person is able to form new semantic（语义的）associations between played foreign words and translation words during the brain cells’ active states, the so-called “Up-states.” It turned out to be that what they thought was reasonable. When we reach deep sleep stages, our brain cells progressively coordinate their activity. During deep sleep, the brain cells are commonly active for a brief period of time before they jointly enter into a state of brief inactivity. The active state is called “Up-st ate” and the inactive state “Down-state”. The two states alternate（交替）about every half-second.
New evidence for sleep-learning challenges current theories of sleep and theories of memory. The concept of sleep that we are separated from the physical environment is no longer reasonable. "It’s false that complex learning be impossible during deep sleep," says Simon Ruch, co-first-author. "In how far and with what consequences deep sleep can be applied for the acquisition of new information will be a topic of research in upcoming years," says Katharina Henke.
The research group of Katharina Henke is part of the Interfaculty Research Cooperation (IRC). Thirteen research groups in medicine, biology and psychology are part of the IRC．The aim of these research groups is to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms（原理）involved in sleep and consciousness.
1、Which of the followings haven’t sleep researchers achieved so far?
A．People can learn vocabulary during deep sleep.
B．Memories can be stable and strong during sleep.
C．Wake-learned information can appear in the sleeping brain.
D．Re-play during sleep improves the storage of wake-learned information.
2、What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A．“Up-state” and “Down-stat e” appear in turn during deep sleep.
B．“Up-states” is another name for the brain cells’ active states.
C．Semantic associations are important for language learning.
D．The brain cells’ active states are central for sleep-learning.
3、What will researchers do within several years according to the passage?
A．Make study in the following fields such as medicine and biology.
B．Separate us from the physical environment.
C．Apply deep sleep for information learning.
D．Discover the concept of sleep.
4、What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce a new way of vocabulary learning.
B．To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms.
C．To challenge current theories of sleep and theories of memory.
D．To explain the possibility of vocabulary learning during deep sleep.
23．（8分）WHERE ARE WE GOING TODAY?
The Play Indoor Playground covers 2, 300 square feet. It has fun, colorful entertaining and exciting toys and equipment for you to play with.

As soon as I walked in the front door, I noticed a flashing light on our answering machine. I pressed the button. “Hi, Dave and Sharon. You don’t know me. My name is Janet. I have your camera.”
What? I rummaged(仔细搜寻) through my bag—sure enough, my camera was
nowhere to be found. How did this stranger have it? How did she know it was mine?
The photos on this camera were priceless. Almost all from our recent vacation to Wyoming to visit our youngest son and his wife were on it. Our oldest son joined us and it was the first time we’d all been together in over a year. I’d cleared the memory card beforehand—jus t some old photos that I’d already downloaded—so I would have plenty of room to capture every precious moment.
Dave and I had one day after our trip to Wyoming before we had to return to work, so we mapped out a bike ride in Wellington. Upon our arrival, I took a few photos while Dave took our bikes out of our car. Now I realized that was the last time I’d seen my camera.
I hadn’t downloaded our Wyoming pictures. They could have been lost forever. There was no name or address on the camera. Who was this Janet? Some detective?
I called her back. “How did you find it?” I asked. “How did you find me?”
“I recognized your church in a few photos,” she said. “Another photo had a young man wearing a name badge(姓名牌). I phoned the church secretary to connect the dots.” Janet described old photos I thought I’d deleted. But how could she have recognized our church?
“Where are you?” I asked. “Where can I meet you to get the camera?”
I didn’t have to travel far. Janet lived just fifteen minutes away—she attended our sister church the next town over.

A．was the church secretary
B．also attended the author’s church
C．knew the young man in the photo
D．was familiar with the author’s church
