People who enjoy a dream-filled sleep are better at recalling information and making links between facts when waking. But recharging with a shallow nap(小睡)offers no such mental improvement, the research suggests. The results of the study add to the growing body of evidence that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is very important to the brain’s ability to from strong memories.An average night’s rest include s four or five spells of REM sleep, but these bursts tend to be lengthier towards the end of the night. This means adults getting less than the recommendedseven to eight hours a night – and therefore adequate REM sleep—may be damaging their mind’s ability to memorize. Although REM sleep is not classified as a type of deep sleep, it is only reached after the brain has passed through deep sleep stages.In the recent study, participants were shown groups of three words and asked to find another word that can be associated with all three words. They were tested once in the morning and then given the same task again in the afternoon. In between, some were allowed a nap with REM sleep, some a nap without REM sleep, while the others had a quiet rest period. The quiet rest and non-REM sleep groups didn’t improve, but the REM sleep group improved on their morning performance by an average of almost 40 per cent. Dr Sara Mednick, a sleep researcher at the University of California who led the study, believes the formation of connections between previously unassociated information in the brain occurs during REM sleep.It is believed that sleep acts as a sort of mental filing system, enabling the brain to sort relevant information from useless information. This process may take place as memories are removed from one part of the brain to others.Title REM sleep 76 to memoryThe result of the study Rapid Eye Movement sleep is of great importance to the brain’s abilityto 77 memoriesThe 78 of the study ◆79 were required to think of another word associated with all three words.◆The same task was given to participants 80 a day.◆The quiet rest and non-REM sleep groups showed no 81 .◆The REM sleep group 82 well by an average of almost 40 per cent.Dr Sara Mednick’s 83.

必修第三册UNIT3Ⅰ.阅读理解AThewaywedothingsroundhereSome years ago,I was hired by an American bank.I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department thatstarted,“Dear John,I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me.I thought he was saying “we’re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”,while in British English it means “fairly”.So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don’t just mean the words people speak.It is body language,dress,manners,ideas and so on.The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures.Some of these differences may be only on thesurface—dress,food and hours of work—while others may be deeperand take longer to deal with.Mostly,it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them,like the climate,while getting on with business.Some of the differences may be an improvement.People are more polite;the service is better;you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again.However,other differences can be troubling,like punctuality.If you invite people to a party at 7 o’clock,your guests will consider it polite to turn up ee in Germany,five minutes early in the American Midwest,an hour early in Japan,15 minutes afterwards in the UK,up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece.I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive.It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.1.The author was unhappy as mentioned in paragraph 1 because he thought .A.the American bank didn’t think much of himB.the American bank might hire another personC.it’s difficult to get used to American cultureD.it’s easy to misunderstand Americans2.The word “highlights” in paragr aph 2 probably means .A.encouragesB.helps to narrowC.increasesD.draws attention to3.According to the author,what should we do with most cultural differences?A.Ask the native people for help.B.Understand and accept them.C.Do things in our own way.D.Do in-depth research.4.When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are .A.ItaliansB.GermansC.GreeksD.the BritishB(河南洛阳二模)Song Lam,or Waiata to some of her New Zealand Maori friends,argues that Mandarin and Maori have much incommon,particularly the five vowels which sound the same in both languages.And the mythological figure Maui of Maori legend has a Chinese “twin brother”,the Monkey King.Both could turn themselves into any shape or figure at any time.Some academics claim that one of the native tribes in Taiwan,China speaks a language similar to Maori,notably in the naming of numbers.Evidence gleaned by archaeologists(考古学家) shows an ancient link between the peoples of Australasia and Taiwan,with the native language of Taiwan having similarities to the prehistoric Australasian language.Confused by Maori place names and customs when she first moved to New Zealand,Song Lam spent eight years researching and three years writing her book,TheMaoriofNewZealand,which is believed to be the first Chinese-language publication to include Maori words,values and customs.The 120-page book,including 10 pages ofphotos and maps,describes Maori legends,traditions,history and folk tales.Song Lam was inspired to write the book in 1990 when she tried to sign up for an education course in New Zealand and was asked for her comments on a local historical event,which she knew nothing about.She involved her two sons in her project and research after e the stories behind Maori place names.The younger boy,aged 10,used his skill at drawing to contribute a historic map of Maori tribes in New Zealand.“Both Chinese and Maori like to present a gift when visiting others or receiving a warm reception,” Lam says.“My book will bea good gift when I visit a Maori community.”5.According to Song Lam,what do Mandarin and Maori have in common?A.Fairy tales of the same character.B.Confusing place names and customs.C.Similar pronunciation of vowels.D.The magic power of the Monkey King.6.What does the underlined word “gleaned” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Controlled.B.Gathered.C.Grown.D.Switched.7.Why is Song Lam’s younger son mentioned in paragraph 4?A.To tell his curiosity about Maori.B.To prove his unique talent in painting.C.To stress the importance of education.D.To show his help with the publication.8.What is the best title for the text?A.Cultures Share Language BondB.The First Book about MaoriC.Adaptation to Life in New Zealandnguages Bridge MisunderstandingⅡ.七选五(湖南长沙雅礼中学一模)It can be very easy to stick with what you know,instead of trying to meet people who are different from you. 1 Here’s what you can do:Become self-aware. 2 This includes biases about your own cultural background.It can be confronting,but by doing this you’ll be able to think about how these traits might impact on your approach to and understanding of differences.You could try:Think about what assumptions you make about your friends,peers,and people you work with.Talk to someone from a different cultural background.Try and get to know someone from a different cultural background better.3 You’ll automatically find out more about their life and experiences.Just being curious and open-minded can be helpful.Be more accepting.Sometimes,for one reason or another,it’s not all that easy to understand some cultural differences. 4 In other words,you don’t have to understand,or even agree with someone in order to accept them.5 One of the biggest difficulties to overcome in understanding cultural differences is making judgments based on one opinion.You should do some research to actually learn about people,instead of making broad-brush assessments.Stereotyping(模式化) people from different cultural backgrounds can impact their quality of life and opportunities.A.Do your own research.B.Think beyond stereotypes.C.Practice being sympathetic towards people.D.Work out your own beliefs,values and personal biases.E.Instead of asking them questions directly,treat them as friends.F.And the best approach is to acknowledge people are different and to accept that’s okay.G.However,trying to understand people from other countries

Unit 4Astronomy: the science of the stars课时作业Ⅰ.阅读(2020·贵阳市普通高中高三年级摸底考试)Many of us think, wrongly, that the moon doesn't change. For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away; From ye ar to year the moons look alike, old and new.”However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in fact slowly shrinking over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机). They found that there were lots of faults (断层) on the surface of the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon.According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it began to shrink, in a way comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin. Over the past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”. But due to its hard and rocky layer, the moon's surface continues to push up. “Some of these quakes can be fairly strong, around five on the Richter scale (里氏震级),” said Thomas Watters, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in the US.But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldn't try to explore and live on in the future? Maybe not, reported The Telegraph.“This isn't anything to worry about. The moon may be shrinking, but not by much. It's not going anywhere,” Watters comforted us.The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We have been to the moon and we've done some great science, but there is still a lot we don't know. The moon is shrinking—we didn't really realize that until recently. It's a much more active and interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan William s said.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。

AModern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2D2 or the robot from Lost in Space, but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.Robots make great explorers on planets, moons, and other landing areas. Aside from the earth, just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient fortunate for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Plus there would be complications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans, but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain, they don’t require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars’ history. 1.What can we learn from the text?A .The use of robots in space exploration costs less than the use of humans.B .It is safe for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.C .Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.D .Only a few of robots have explored the space successfully.2.The underlined word “withstand” in paragraph 2 most probably means “______”. A .remain B .bear C .defeatD .develop3.What is the writer’s attitude in this passage? A .Negative. B .Persuasive. C .Subjective.D .Objective. 4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A .The Development of Robots B .The Discovery of Space Exploration C .No Robots, No Space Exploration D .Robots Are Used in Space Exploration【答案】1-4 CBDD【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了机器人对太空探索非常重要,机器人正用于太空探索。

核心素养对中外文学作品的了解; 对戏剧和文学作品的鉴赏能力;通过文学作品了解历史和文化的能力高考链接2018·浙江高考·A; 2017·全国卷Ⅱ ·A; 2016·全国卷Ⅲ·B Ⅰ. 话题与高考阅读理解(2018·浙江高考·A) In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字) rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady”. Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters—from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense asthe Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60, 000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-doze n of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible—and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.【文章大意】这是一篇写于狄更斯诞辰200周年纪念前夕的文章, 介绍了英国小说的产生和兴盛, 以及狄更斯在英国小说界的地位。

AWilkie Collins was born in London in 1824 and his first novel — a historical romance called Antonina— was published when he was 26. Shortly after this he met Charles Dickens, and they formed a close friendship that lasted for ten years and influenced both men’s writing. Collins went on publishing 25 novels as well as many short stories, plays and works of non-fiction. However, he is most well-known for the twomysteries(悬疑故事)The Woman in White and The Moonstone .Collins published both mysteries as serials in All the Year Round . When it appeared in the magazine in1860, The Woman in White was so popular that it became the subject of a song and a play. It even influencedfashion, and many women started to dress in white. Eight years later The Moonstone was published andearned Collins the title “the father of the modern English detective (侦探)novel”. T.S. Elliot, another famous writer, said that The Moonstone was the “first and greatest of English detective novels”, and it is still admiredby modern crime writers today.An author of many mysteries, Dorothy L. Sayers considered The Moonstone to be “probably the finestdetective story ever written”, and many people agree with her. There are several reasons why they think so.One is that Collins uses different characters to tell each section of the story. The characters have very different personalities and voices, which are interesting and often amusing. There are also several features ofthe plot which start trends(趋向) in mystery writing. For example, many detective stories are set in a country house, where the theft must have been committed by one of the people in the house. A number of modern films have also used the idea of a cursed(被诅咒的)jewel stolen from a religious statue. And of course, in The Moonstone and most other good mystery novels, the person who at first seems the least likely to be the criminal turns out to be guilty. 21. When was Antonina published? A. In 1824. B. In 1850. C. In 1860. D. In 1868. 22. All the Year Round was a title of ________. A. one of Wilkie Collins’ books B. one of Charles Dickens’ books C. a story of a magazine D. a magazine 23. Why is Collins known as “the father of the modern English detective novel”? A. Because he was older than the other detective story writers. B. Because his son was also a famous detective story writer. C. Because many aspects of his writing are copied by other detective story writers. D. Because The Moonstone is the most popular detective story. B If you are given only 1 yuan , could you live in a city for one day? It seems this may be a little difficult. But students from Xi’an did it. On April 10, more than 60 students from the Middle School Attached to Northwestern Polytechnic University took part in the One Yuan Metropolis Survival. The charitable organization for teenagers called Imperceptible Education held this activity. Students not only have to live, but they also have to deal with a lot of hard tasks. It has happened in eight cities and is going to four others, including Beijing, in June. To make money, many students looked for part-time jobs and saw how hard life was. Zhang Queue, 14, asked more than 10 restaurants for a job and finally got one chance. “We were sad when they said no. But gradually (逐渐地), we got used to it,” he said. After being a waiter for an hour, he got 25 yuan. Some made use of their talents by singing and dancing in parks or shopping malls. Many people who walked by took notice and helped them. Zhao Jincheng, 14, drew pictures and made paper crafts(手工). “This showed it’s important to learn a special skill,” he said.此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号Living was hard, but finishing the tasks wasn’t any easier. They went to different places to finish tasks in a short time. The most amazing one was when they had to exchange things worth thousands yuan with only a piece of paper in half an hour. “We learned how to persuade others. From a balloon to a cake to a bottle of yogurt(酸乳) … after almost 20 tries, we got an expensive necklace,” he said. They will give all of the money they made to poor schools in Tibet.24. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is correct?a. adults can join this activityb. students are given a little moneyc. students have to do hard tasksd. twelve cities have joined this activityA. a, bB. b, cC. c, dD. a, d25. To make money, students tried many things EXCEPT ____________.A. going to Beijing to do their tasksB. working part-time jobsC. giving talent showsD. drawing and making paper crafts26. During this activity, _____________.A. Zhang Queue gave up when he was refusedB. students learned that life is hardC. Zhao Jincheng made money by singingD. students learned how to make paper crafts27. What does the underlined word “persuade” in the last paragraph mean?A. argue with othersB. show sth. to othersC. sell something to othersD. make sb. do sth.CWhat are your retirement plans? Keep working? Get more exercise? Or learn something new? You may put them on hold. T here’s a chance that, sooner or later, you might have to move further than you were thinking, as far as mars.On Thursday, National Geographic will show the first-ever Mars show home, giving earthlings(地球人) an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet. In the not-so-distant year of 2037, the igloo-shaped structure could be the home of your future.It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft(航天器) parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks. Some parts of the home are recognizable — a kitchen, a bedroom — but there are fundamental differences that are important to human survival.As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth’s, people will need permanent(永久的) shelter from the sun; society will move largely indoors. Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have windows. The homes will have simulated solar lighting, or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick to protect people from dangerous rays(光线) that can pass through six feet of steel, and a double air-locked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars your house will be a survival centre,” says Stephen Petranek, author of How We’ll Live on Mars. This is not just the stuff of sci-fi. “10 to 20 years from now there will certainly be people, on Mars.” Petranek says.“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars, but we haven’t had the will,” Petranek says. But two main factors have “completely swung public attitudes”.The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to speed up their game, and influential films such as Gravity and The Mar tian have caught society’s eye.28. What can we know about the show home from the text?A. It has no windows or doors due to security concern.B. Its design presents the idea of environmental protection.C. It has thick walls keeping the home under proper pressure.D. Its underground passages connect all the building together.29. What do the underlined words “put them on hold” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Put them off.B. Give them away.C. Carry them through.D. Take them seriously.30. According to Petranek, what has sped up the process of sending people to Mars?A. The great influence of the Mars show home.B. The development of related technology.精品文档可修改欢迎下载C. The competition from private companies.D. The popularity of influential books on Mars.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Living on Mars: Possible or NotB. Sending People to Mars: Yes or NoC. First-ever show home: How Is It MadeD. Future Home on Mars: What Will It Be LikeDThe death of languages is not a new phenomenon. Languages usually have a short life span (寿命)as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years.What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europe’s colonial rule caused a sharp decrease in languages, reducing at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen languages, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 languages spoken at the end of the 18th century.The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting national languages. By making great efforts to establish an official language in education and the media, national governments have tried to reduce minority languages.This process of language standardization(标准化)has been improved by industrialization and scientific progress, which have created new methods of communication that are fast, straightforward and practical. The various kinds of language came to be seen as an difficulty to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism (单一语言制)became an perfect choice.More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have led to the danger to “small” languages. A language not on the Internet is a language that “no longer exists” in the modern world. It is out of the game.The serious effects of the death of languages are clear. First of all, it is possible that if we ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural functions for language inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of “the first language”. As each language dies, a chapter of human history closes.Multilingualism(多语制)is the best reflection of multiculturalism. The destruction of the first will lead to the loss of the second. Creating a language without any links to a people’s culture and way of life stifles the expression of their language gift. A language is not only used as the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world view of those who speak it, as well as their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter.32. Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages?A. Colonial rule from Europe.B. The rise of nation-states.C. Advance in science and industrialization.D. The increase of human population.33. The underlined word “stifles” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.A. cheersB. killsC. createsD. improves34. The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that ________.A. people would fail to understand how languages startedB. monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalismC. the death of languages would become a difficulty to realize globalizationD. human brains would become less creative in languages35. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To draw people’s attention to the importance of language preservation.B. To warn people of the negative results of globalization.C. To explain the reasons why languages are dying out.D. To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages.第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But two main factors have “completely swung public attitudes”.The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to speed up their game, and influential films such as Gravity and The Mar tian have caught society’s eye.28.

Languages usually have a short life span (寿命)as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years.What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europe’s colonial rule caused a sharp decrease in languages, reducing at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen languages, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 languages spoken at the end of the 18th century.The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting national languages. By making great efforts to establish an official language in education and the media, national governments have tried to reduce minority languages.This process of language standardization(标准化)has been improved by industrialization and scientific progress, which have created new methods of communication that are fast, straightforward and practical. The various kinds of language came to be seen as an difficulty to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism (单一语言制)became an perfect choice.More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have led to the danger to “small” languages. A language not on the Internet is a language that “no longer exists” in the modern world. It is out of the game.The serious effects of the death of languages are clear. First of all, it is possible that if we ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural functions for language inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of “the first language”. As each language dies, a chapter of human history closes.Multilingualism(多语制)is the best reflection of multiculturalism. The destruction of the first will lead to the loss of the second. Creating a language without any links to a people’s culture and way of life stifles the expression of their language gift. A language is not only used as the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world view of those who speak it, as well as their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter.32. Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages?A. Colonial rule from Europe.B. The rise of nation-states.C. Advance in science and industrialization.D. The increase of human population.33. The underlined word “stifles” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.A. cheersB. killsC. createsD. improves34. The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that ________.A. people would fail to understand how languages startedB. monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalismC. the death of languages would become a difficulty to realize globalizationD. human brains would become less creative in languages35.

To explain the reasons why languages are dying out.D. To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages.第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
