Working with a group of baboons(狒狒) in the Namibian desert，Dr.Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology，Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box.Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task，while others had to learn for themselves.To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were，Dr.Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.
She found that personality had a major impact on learning.The braver baboons learnt，but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did.In effect，despite being made aware of what to do，they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.
The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones.The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching.
This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals，something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things.The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive(认知的)tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them，but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.
The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals，or they are too shy to use the information once they have it，information may not travel between all group members，preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.
5．What is the first paragraph mainly about
A．The design of Dr.Carter's research. B．The results of Dr.Carter's research.
C．The purpose of Dr.Carter's research. D．The significance of Dr.Carter's research.
6．According to the research，which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task
A．Those that have more experience. B．Those that can avoid potential risks.
C．Those that like to work independently. D．Those that feel anxious about learning.
7．Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4
A．Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.
B．Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.
C．Some baboons observe others but don't follow them.
D．Some baboons perform new tasks but don't concentrate.
8．Dr.Carter's findings indicate that our culture might be formed through________.
A．storing information B．learning from each other
C．understanding different people D．travelling between social groups
C
A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes，who disliked humor，“Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others.”He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow mindedness.
However，Mordechai Gordon，Ph.D of Education，insists，“Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.”I agree with Gordon.Learning to look at the world through humor is important.
In the United States，every four years an election occurs.Without humor as a way to express their feelings，how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming？Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplaning politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.
Of course，politics is only one type of humor.Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition.American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self image.On the topic of self image，Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”，describing their hit song “Don't Cha”as a negative representation of women.He points out an obvious offence in American culture.
A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner.Amongst other things，mates look for，an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.
Of course，humor is not always used for good purposes.Humor can be linked to vulgarity(庸俗) and racism，but，like everything else，it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves，our failures and our connection with one another.
Though life may seem tough and depressing at times，all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.
With that in mind，remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.
9．Hobbes believed that humor________.
A．was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better
B．resulted in narrow mindedness of human beings
C．had the power to mirror personal glory and national values
D．was for people to view the world from another angle
10．What is the author's attitude towards political humor
A．Worried. B．Disappointed.
C．Curious. D．Appreciative.
11．The fourth paragraph is developed mainly________.
A．by example B．by process
C．by comparison D．by classification
12．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A．Chaplin wasn't aware of being laughed at.
B．The author feels helpless and sad about getting older.
C．Never be the one who laughs at other people.
D．The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.
D
All day long，litter builds up between brain cells.A study now finds that trash(垃圾)is washed away by fluids in the brain during sleep.That's potentially good news because such garbage(废物) includes a substance linked to Alzheimer's disease.
Evidence of this brain washing emerged in a study on mice.But the finding gave researchers an idea of what may happen in the brains of sleeping people.
A sleep researcher at the University of Wisconsin Madison，Chiara Cirelli called the new finding “eye opening and exciting”．
Maiken Nedergaard is a neuroscientist.Her team had been studying a drainage process in the brain that acts like a sewer system(排水系统)．What the scientists hadn't expected was to find that this system performs a different role during sleep than it does while animals are awake.As animals slept，fluids began flowing from the brain into the spaces between brain cells.These fluids washed away the junk that had built up while animals were awake.
Other studies had shown that during waking hours，brain cells pump out bits of protein and other substances.The longer someone stays awake，the more litter builds up.That trash includes proteins that gather in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease，which causes people to lose the ability to think，learn and remember.
Once mice fell asleep，fluids flowed into their brains.“It was almost like you opened a tap”，Nedergaard said.As the fluid passed through the spaces between brain cells，it washed away the litter.The tap slowed to a trickle(涓流) when mice woke up.
The scientists then looked closely at the brain cells.They found that the cells shrank during slumber(睡眠)—enough to open space through which the fluid can flow freely.When mice were awake，the cells swelled，lessening the fluid's flow.
The newfound house cleaning activity occurs in a part of the brain that few people study，noted scientist Houzel.“That space between brain cells is usually disregarded.It's considered just space，”she said.
The new discovery also may help scientists solve an age old mystery：Why do animals sleep？Every animal does it.Without it，they die，although no one knows why.Some studies suggest that the brain solidifies memories during sleep.However，Nedergaard notes，“You don't die from forgetting what you learned yesterday.”
13．According to the text，Maiken's discovery was________.
A．a real surprise B．a natural result
C．a big reward D．a personal purpose
14．When we are awake，________.
A．brain cells take in more proteins
B．litter of proteins build up in our brains
C．fluids in the brain continue flowing
D．our brains have more fluids flow
15．From what Houzel said，we know the space between brain cells________.
A．is in fact a kind of space
B．has ever been carefully studied
C．used to be regarded as unimportant
D．is where litter is stored in the end
第二节 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
16．____________
Have you heard statements like “If you love me，you would do this for me” or “You should be ashamed of yourself”？Statements like these are used by people to make you feel guilty because you have made a mistake and disappointed someone，or if someone wants a favor of you.
Guilt is a destructive (毁灭性的) emotion that is a waste of time.17.____________To overcome guilt from your life，use the following steps：
Know the past can't be changed.
Whatever happened or whatever you did in the past，you can't remove or change it by feeling guilty.If you cry and shout，you will not make the past different.It is better to concentrate on the present.18.____________
19．____________
If you hurt someone while not meaning it，apologize for what you have said or done and then forgive yourself.What happened in the past will teach you a lesson，so you won't repeat it again，but it is important to forgive yourself.
Let the people you deal with know you are not easy to feel guilty.
If your boss gives you a hard time because you don't work overtime and starts saying that there is no money award for you to make you feel guilty，then you can say things like “That is perfectly fine.I will get the award next time.”
20．____________Don't deny guilt or run away from it.Analyze it and deal with it.No matter how much time you spend feeling guilty，you are not going to be able to change it.
A．You have to face guilt to overcome it.
B．Try to learn from your experience.
C．Do something useful to improve your life and your future.
D．Don't let anyone make you feel guilty.
E．So you should learn to remove guilt.

B．Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.
C．Some baboons observe others but don't follow them.
D．Some baboons perform new tasks but don't concentrate.

Maiken Nedergaard is a neuroscientist.Her team had been studying a drainage process in the brain that acts like a sewer system(排水系统)．What the scientists hadn't expected was to find that this system performs a different role during sleep than it does while animals are awake.As animals slept，fluids began flowing from the brain into the spaces between brain cells.These fluids washed away the junk that had built up while animals were awake.
Other studies had shown that during waking hours，brain cells pump out bits of protein and other substances.The longer someone stays awake，the more litter builds up.That trash includes proteins that gather in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease，which causes people to lose the ability to think，learn and remember.
Once mice fell asleep，fluids flowed into their brains.“It was almost like you opened a tap”，Nedergaard said.As the fluid passed through the spaces between brain cells，it washed away the litter.The tap slowed to a trickle(涓流) when mice woke up.
The scientists then looked closely at the brain cells.They found that the cells shrank during slumber(睡眠)—enough to open space through which the fluid can flow freely.When mice were awake，the cells swelled，lessening the fluid's flow.
The newfound house cleaning activity occurs in a part of the brain that few people study，noted scientist Houzel.“That space between brain cells is usually disregarded.It's considered just space，”she said.
The new discovery also may help scientists solve an age old mystery：Why do animals sleep？Every animal does it.Without it，they die，although no one knows why.Some studies suggest that the brain solidifies memories during sleep.However，Nedergaard notes，“You don't die from forgetting what you learned yesterday.”
13．According to the text，Maiken's discovery was________.
A．a real surprise B．a natural result
C．a big reward D．a personal purpose
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“What the scientists hadn't expected...animals are awake.”可知，他们并没有想到会发现这个现象，因此这属于一个意外的发现，所以选A。
14．When we are awake，________.
A．brain cells take in more proteins
B．litter of proteins build up in our brains
C．fluids in the brain continue flowing
D．our brains have more fluids flow
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The longer someone stays awake，the more litter builds up.”可知，当我们醒着的时候，大脑分泌出来很多垃圾并且在大脑中堆积。
15．From what Houzel said，we know the space between brain cells________.
A．is in fact a kind of space
B．has ever been carefully studied
C．used to be regarded as unimportant
D．is where litter is stored in the end
解析：选C。推理判断题。结合倒数第二段中的“That space between brain cells is usually disregarded.It's considered just space”可知，原先人们对大脑中细胞之间的空隙没有给予太多的重视，认为仅仅是空间，因此选C。
第二节 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
16．____________
Have you heard statements like “If you love me，you would do this for me” or “You should be ashamed of yourself”？Statements like these are used by people to make you feel guilty because you have made a mistake and disappointed someone，or if someone wants a favor of you.
Guilt is a destructive (毁灭性的) emotion that is a waste of time.17.____________To overcome guilt from your life，use the following steps：

Whatever happened or whatever you did in the past，you can't remove or change it by feeling guilty.If you cry and shout，you will not make the past different.It is better to concentrate on the present.18.____________
19．____________
If you hurt someone while not meaning it，apologize for what you have said or done and then forgive yourself.What happened in the past will teach you a lesson，so you won't repeat it again，but it is important to forgive yourself.
Let the people you deal with know you are not easy to feel guilty.
If your boss gives you a hard time because you don't work overtime and starts saying that there is no money award for you to make you feel guilty，then you can say things like “That is perfectly fine.I will get the award next time.”
20．____________Don't deny guilt or run away from it.Analyze it and deal with it.No matter how much time you spend feeling guilty，you are not going to be able to change it.
A．You have to face guilt to overcome it.
B．Try to learn from your experience.

Working with a group of baboons(狒狒) in the Namibian desert，Dr.Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology，Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box.Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task，while others had to learn for themselves.To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were，Dr.Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.
She found that personality had a major impact on learning.The braver baboons learnt，but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did.In effect，despite being made aware of what to do，they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.
The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones.The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching.
This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals，something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things.The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive(认知的)tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them，but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.
The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals，or they are too shy to use the information once they have it，information may not travel between all group members，preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.
5．What is the first paragraph mainly about
A．The design of Dr.Carter's research. B．The results of Dr.Carter's research.
C．The purpose of Dr.Carter's research. D．The significance of Dr.Carter's research.
6．According to the research，which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task
A．Those that have more experience. B．Those that can avoid potential risks.
C．Those that like to work independently. D．Those that feel anxious about learning.
7．Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4
A．Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.
B．Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.
C．Some baboons observe others but don't follow them.
D．Some baboons perform new tasks but don't concentrate.
8．Dr.Carter's findings indicate that our culture might be formed through________.
A．storing information B．learning from each other
C．understanding different people D．travelling between social groups
C
A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes，who disliked humor，“Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others.”He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow mindedness.
However，Mordechai Gordon，Ph.D of Education，insists，“Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.”I agree with Gordon.Learning to look at the world through humor is important.
In the United States，every four years an election occurs.Without humor as a way to express their feelings，how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming？Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplaning politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.
Of course，politics is only one type of humor.Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition.American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self image.On the topic of self image，Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”，describing their hit song “Don't Cha”as a negative representation of women.He points out an obvious offence in American culture.
A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner.Amongst other things，mates look for，an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.
Of course，humor is not always used for good purposes.Humor can be linked to vulgarity(庸俗) and racism，but，like everything else，it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves，our failures and our connection with one another.
Though life may seem tough and depressing at times，all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.
With that in mind，remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.
9．Hobbes believed that humor________.
A．was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better
B．resulted in narrow mindedness of human beings
C．had the power to mirror personal glory and national values
D．was for people to view the world from another angle
10．What is the author's attitude towards political humor
A．Worried. B．Disappointed.
C．Curious. D．Appreciative.
11．The fourth paragraph is developed mainly________.
A．by example B．by process
C．by comparison D．by classification
12．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A．Chaplin wasn't aware of being laughed at.
B．The author feels helpless and sad about getting older.
C．Never be the one who laughs at other people.
D．The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.

All day long，litter builds up between brain cells.A study now finds that trash(垃圾)is washed away by fluids in the brain during sleep.That's potentially good news because such garbage(废物) includes a substance linked to Alzheimer's disease.

Once mice fell asleep，fluids flowed into their brains.“It was almost like you opened a tap”，Nedergaard said.As the fluid passed through the spaces between brain cells，it washed away the litter.The tap slowed to a trickle(涓流) when mice woke up.
The scientists then looked closely at the brain cells.They found that the cells shrank during slumber(睡眠)—enough to open space through which the fluid can flow freely.When mice were awake，the cells swelled，lessening the fluid's flow.

13．According to the text，Maiken's discovery was________.
A．a real surprise B．a natural result
C．a big reward D．a personal purpose
14．When we are awake，________.
A．brain cells take in more proteins

【语篇导读】 本文是一篇由四则广告组成的应用文。分别介绍了一个讲座、一个喜剧演员的演出、一个喜剧演员的工作室以及一个有爵士乐和美食的好去处。
1．Who can help you if you want to have your music produced
A．Jules Skye. B．Gee Whizz.
C．Charlotte Stone. D．James Pickering.
解析：选A。细节理解题。从题干的have your music produced判断本题的答案出处在第一则广告，该广告说，“你是否有兴趣成为音乐人，得到录制唱片的合同？”然后说晚上7点半有Jules Skye的报告，因此选A项Jules Skye。根据本广告最后一句话也可得出答案。
2．At which place can people of different ages enjoy a good laugh
A．The Cyclops Theatre. B．Kaleidoscope.
C．Victoria Stage. D．Pizza World.
解析：选B。 细节理解题。带着题干的“不同年龄的人欢笑”这个信息，我们去这几则广告中寻找相关信息。答案在第二则广告里，该广告说，Gee Whizz是最滑稽的单口喜剧演员(stand up comedian)，他的表演能够让所有人快乐，下至孩童上到老人(from the youngest to the oldest)。表演的地点是Kaleidoscope，因此选B项。
3．What do we know about Simon's Workshop
A．It requires membership status.
B．It lasts three hours each time.
C．It is run by a comedy club.
D．It is held every Wednesday.
解析：选D。细节理解题。本题涉及第三则广告的相关信息。从5.00pm—7.30 pm Wednesdays at Victoria Stage可以判断，该活动每个星期三举办，故D项正确。每次两个半小时，排除B项；文章没有提到需要有会员资格，排除A项；也没有提到喜剧俱乐部，排除C项。
4．When will Charlotte Stone perform her songs
A．5.00pm—7.30pm. B．7.30pm—1.00am.
C．8.00pm—11.00pm. D．8.30pm—10.30pm.
解析：选C。细节理解题。从题干可知解本题的信息来自最后一则广告，该广告开头就交代了时间：晚上8点到11点，因此选C项。
B
Working with a group of baboons(狒狒) in the Namibian desert，Dr.Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology，Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box.Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task，while others had to learn for themselves.To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were，Dr.Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.
She found that personality had a major impact on learning.The braver baboons learnt，but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did.In effect，despite being made aware of what to do，they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.
The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones.The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching.
This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals，something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things.The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive(认知的)tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them，but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.
The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning.If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals，or they are too shy to use the information once they have it，information may not travel between all group members，preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.
5．What is the first paragraph mainly about
A．The design of Dr.Carter's research.
B．The results of Dr.Carter's research.
C．The purpose of Dr.Carter's research.
D．The significance of Dr.Carter's research.
解析：选A。主旨大意题。通读第一段内容可知，该段主要介绍了艾蕾西娅·卡特博士研究狒狒学习能力的方案是如何设计的。
6．According to the research，which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task
A．Those that have more experience.
B．Those that can avoid potential risks.
C．Those that like to work independently.
D．Those that feel anxious about learning.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，应选D项。
7．Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4
A．Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.
B．Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.
C．Some baboons observe others but don't follow them.
D．Some baboons perform new tasks but don't concentrate.
解析：选C。词义猜测题。根据语境可知，画线单词指的是上文的“those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching”，即一些狒狒花费时间在观察这些行为但是却不去模仿。
8．Dr.Carter's findings indicate that our culture might be formed through________.
A．storing information
B．learning from each other
C．understanding different people
D．travelling between social groups
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推断，我们的文化的形成和产生很可能是通过相互学习而形成的，如果不能与知识渊博的人接触或者如果性格过于内向，就阻止了文化的形成。
C
(2017·福建厦门质检)A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes，who disliked humor，“Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others.”He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow mindedness.
However，Mordechai Gordon，Ph.D of Education，insists，“Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.”I agree with Gordon.Learning to look at the world through humor is important.
In the United States，every four years an election occurs.Without humor as a way to express their feelings，how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming？Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplaning politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.
Of course，politics is only one type of humor.Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition.American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self image.On the topic of self image，Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”，describing their hit song “Don't Cha”as a negative representation of women.He points out an obvious offence in American culture.
A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner.Amongst other things，mates look for，an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.
Of course，humor is not always used for good purposes.Humor can be linked to vulgarity(庸俗) and racism，but，like everything else，it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves，our failures and our connection with one another.
Though life may seem tough and depressing at times，all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.
With that in mind，remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.
9．Hobbes believed that humor________.
A．was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better
B．resulted in narrow mindedness of human beings
C．had the power to mirror personal glory and national values
D．was for people to view the world from another angle
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知，托马斯·霍存斯不喜欢幽默，并从他的话中“Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others.”可知，应选择A项。
10．What is the author's attitude towards political humor
A．Worried. B．Disappointed.
C．Curious. D．Appreciative.
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Without humor as a way...of lemming？”及“They make politics fun.”可知，作者对于政治幽默持赞赏的态度。appreciative“欣赏的，常识的”。
11．The fourth paragraph is developed mainly________.
A．by example B．by process
C．by comparison D．by classification
解析：选A。写作手法题。根据文章第四段的内容可知，作者是通过举例子来支持自己的观点的，因此选择A项。
12．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A．Chaplin wasn't aware of being laughed at.
B．The author feels helpless and sad about getting older.
C．Never be the one who laughs at other people.
D．The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据文章的最后两段可知，尽管生活有时候会很艰难，但仍然有连卓别林都没有意识到的幽默，要记得用幽默的态度来面对生活，应选择D项。
D
All day long，litter builds up between brain cells.A study now finds that trash(垃圾)is washed away by fluids in the brain during sleep.That's potentially good news because such garbage(废物) includes a substance linked to Alzheimer's disease.
Evidence of this brain washing emerged in a study on mice.But the finding gave researchers an idea of what may happen in the brains of sleeping people.
A sleep researcher at the University of Wisconsin Madison，Chiara Cirelli called the new finding “eye opening and exciting”．
Maiken Nedergaard is a neuroscientist.Her team had been studying a drainage process in the brain that acts like a sewer system(排水系统)．What the scientists hadn't expected was to find that this system performs a different role during sleep than it does while animals are awake.As animals slept，fluids began flowing from the brain into the spaces between brain cells.These fluids washed away the junk that had built up while animals were awake.
Other studies had shown that during waking hours，brain cells pump out bits of protein and other substances.The longer someone stays awake，the more litter builds up.That trash includes proteins that gather in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease，which causes people to lose the ability to think，learn and remember.
Once mice fell asleep，fluids flowed into their brains.“It was almost like you opened a tap”，Nedergaard said.As the fluid passed through the spaces between brain cells，it washed away the litter.The tap slowed to a trickle(涓流) when mice woke up.
The scientists then looked closely at the brain cells.They found that the cells shrank during slumber(睡眠)—enough to open space through which the fluid can flow freely.When mice were awake，the cells swelled，lessening the fluid's flow.
The newfound house cleaning activity occurs in a part of the brain that few people study，noted scientist Houzel.“That space between brain cells is usually disregarded.It's considered just space，”she said.
The new discovery also may help scientists solve an age old mystery：Why do animals sleep？Every animal does it.Without it，they die，although no one knows why.Some studies suggest that the brain solidifies memories during sleep.However，Nedergaard notes，“You don't die from forgetting what you learned yesterday.”
13．According to the text，Maiken's discovery was________.
A．a real surprise B．a natural result
C．a big reward D．a personal purpose
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“What the scientists hadn't expected...animals are awake.”可知，他们并没有想到会发现这个现象，因此这属于一个意外的发现，所以选A。
14．When we are awake，________.
A．brain cells take in more proteins
B．litter of proteins build up in our brains
C．fluids in the brain continue flowing
D．our brains have more fluids flow
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The longer someone stays awake，the more litter builds up.”可知，当我们醒着的时候，大脑分泌出来很多垃圾并且在大脑中堆积。
15．From what Houzel said，we know the space between brain cells________.
A．is in fact a kind of space
B．has ever been carefully studied
C．used to be regarded as unimportant
D．is where litter is stored in the end
解析：选C。推理判断题。结合倒数第二段中的“That space between brain cells is usually disregarded.It's considered just space”可知，原先人们对大脑中细胞之间的空隙没有给予太多的重视，认为仅仅是空间，因此选C。
第二节 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
16．____________
Have you heard statements like “If you love me，you would do this for me” or “You should be ashamed of yourself”？Statements like these are used by people to make you feel guilty because you have made a mistake and disappointed someone，or if someone wants a favor of you.
Guilt is a destructive (毁灭性的) emotion that is a waste of time.17.____________To overcome guilt from your life，use the following steps：
Know the past can't be changed.
Whatever happened or whatever you did in the past，you can't remove or change it by feeling guilty.If you cry and shout，you will not make the past different.It is better to concentrate on the present.18.____________
19．____________
If you hurt someone while not meaning it，apologize for what you have said or done and then forgive yourself.What happened in the past will teach you a lesson，so you won't repeat it again，but it is important to forgive yourself.
Let the people you deal with know you are not easy to feel guilty.
If your boss gives you a hard time because you don't work overtime and starts saying that there is no money award for you to make you feel guilty，then you can say things like “That is perfectly fine.I will get the award next time.”
20．____________Don't deny guilt or run away from it.Analyze it and deal with it.No matter how much time you spend feeling guilty，you are not going to be able to change it.
A．You have to face guilt to overcome it.
B．Try to learn from your experience.
C．Do something useful to improve your life and your future.
D．Don't let anyone make you feel guilty.
E．So you should learn to remove guilt.
F．Someone has disappointed you.
G．It is not important to apologize.
