Learning New Vocabulary During Deep Sleep
Sleeping time is sometimes considered unproductive time.This raises the question whether the time spent during sleeping could be used more productively，e.g.for learning a new language？Sleep research to date focused on the stabilization and strengthening of memories that had been formed during previous wakefulness.However，learning during sleep has rarely been examineD．There is considerable evidence for wake learned information undergoing revision by a replay in the sleeping brain.The replay during sleep strengthens the still weak memory traces and embeds (嵌入) the newly acquired information in the preexisting store of knowledge.
If the replay 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 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 state” and the inactive state “Down state”．The two states alternate (交替) about every half seconD．

The research group of Katharina Henke is part of the Interfaculty Research Cooperation (IRC).Thirteen research groups in medicine，biology，psychology and information science are part of the IRC．The aim of these research groups is to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in sleep，consciousness and cognition.

主题语境 人与自我——人生态度——105岁的高龄老人玩过山车
(2021·合肥市高三第一次质检) I can proudly say that last year I broke the record for the oldest person in the world to ride a roller coaster.I'm 105，but I feel younger.Even the doctor agrees I'm in good condition.I'm a bit deaf and my legs feel weak，but they are the only issue.
I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo Land，which spins you round quite fast.I didn't choose to go on that.I'd have preferred a really fast one that went upside down.But I was told I couldn't ride something like that，because it would affect my blood pressure and I might have some danger.
I wasn't nervous—I don't get frightened of anything.I was securely fastened，so I knew I wouldn't fall out.The roller coaster ride went on for three or four minutes，and it couldn't be a better experience.And I raised a lot of money for the Derbyshire，Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance fund，which was fantastiC．
People were saying I'd got a place in the Guinness World Records.Later，someone came to present me with the certificate.I had it on the wall in my living room，with another one I got a year earlier.
My record breaking ways really began a couple of years ago，with the ice bucket challenge.It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it，and the video was very popular.After that，I started to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities.
I'm not sure if anyone admires all the fun I'm having.They just say I'm daft and that's about it.But I've had many good days and many exciting times.I've had a really good life.I don't think I've wasted any of it.
5．Why didn't the author choose to go on riding the Twistosaurus
A．Because he was told not to do so.
B．Because he considered it too gentle.
C．Because he thought it spun too fast.
D．Because he was in a bad physical condition.
6．How did the author most probably react while riding the roller coaster
A．He really enjoyed himself.
B．He was very worried at first.
C．He couldn't think much about it.
D．He got frightened as it started moving.
7．What do you know about the author from Paragraph 4
A．He was eager to get certificates.
B．He disliked showing off his success.
C．He was the oldest person in the worlD．

文章大意：文章通过一项研究论证了在深度睡眠中学习新词汇的可能性。
1．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A．“Up state” and “Down state” 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.
解析：D 考查推理判断。根据第三段前两句“The research group of Katharina Henke examineD．..the so called ‘Up states’．It turned out to be that what they thought was reasonable.”可知，研究小组研究了睡觉的人能否在脑细胞活跃状态下，在被播放的外来词和翻译词之间形成新的语义联系。结果证明他们的想法是合理的。据此可推知，当大脑处于“Up states”时，可以进行语言学习。在这个过程中，大脑细胞的活跃状态起着主要作用。故答案是D。
2．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 to information learning.
D．Discover the concept of sleep.
解析：C 考查细节理解。根据题干中的关键词“researchers”和“within several years”定位到文章的第四段。根据该段中的“In how far and with what consequences...will be a topic of research in upcoming years”可知，在未来几年，在新信息的获得方面深度睡眠能运用到何种程度以及会有何种结果将是研究的主题。故答案是C。
3．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.
解析：D 考查写作意图。第一段提出问题“This raises the question whether the time spent during sleeping could be used more productively，e.g.for learning a new language？”(是否可以更有效地利用睡眠时间，例如用于学习一种新语言？)；第二段回答该问题“then first play，i.e.the initial processing of new information，should also be possible during sleep”(对新信息的初始处理，在睡眠期间也应该是可能的)；第三段通过研究提出证据证明了第二段的猜想。最后两段进行了补充说明。据此可知，本文是为了说明在深度睡眠中，学习新的词汇是可能的。故答案是D。
4．Where is this text most likely from
A．A novel.
B．A guidebook.
C．A scientific research website.
D．A diary.
解析：C 考查文章出处。根据本文中出现的“Sleep research to date focused on” “There is considerable evidence”“The research group”“The aim of these research groups”并结合文章主旨(在深度睡眠中学习新词汇方面的科学研究)可以推断出，本文可能出自一个科研网站，故选C。

文章大意：本文讲述了世界上玩过山车年龄最大的老人的经历。他已经105岁，获得了吉尼斯世界纪录证书；此外，他还参加过“冰桶挑战”，为慈善组织募捐。他认为自己没有浪费人生，过得很充实。
5．Why didn't the author choose to go on riding the Twistosaurus
A．Because he was told not to do so.
B．Because he considered it too gentle.
C．Because he thought it spun too fast.
D．Because he was in a bad physical condition.
解析：B 考查细节理解。根据第二段第二、三句“I didn't choose to go on that.I'd have preferred a really fast one that went upside down.”可知，作者没有选择坐Twistosaurus，是因为他想要真正的快速翻转的过山车，即他认为Twistosaurus太过平缓，故B项正确。
6．How did the author most probably react while riding the roller coaster
A．He really enjoyed himself.
B．He was very worried at first.
C．He couldn't think much about it.
D．He got frightened as it started moving.
解析：A 考查推理判断。根据第三段第三句“The roller coaster ride went on for three or four minutes，and it couldn't be a better experience.”可知，乘坐过山车持续三到四分钟，作者认为这是一次再好不过的经历了。据此可推知，作者在坐过山车时很享受，故A项正确。
7．What do you know about the author from Paragraph 4
A．He was eager to get certificates.
B．He disliked showing off his success.
C．He was the oldest person in the worlD．
D．He set a record the year before last year.
解析：D 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“last year”和第四段的内容，尤其是尾句“I had it on the wall in my living room，with another one I got a year earlier.”可知，去年作者把这张吉尼斯世界纪录证书挂在客厅的墙上，还有一张是一年前挂的。据此可知，作者在前年也创造了一项纪录。
8．Which word can best describe the author
A．Cooperative. B．OptimistiC．
C．Generous. D．Intelligent.
解析：B 考查推理判断。根据尾段最后三句“But I've had many good days and many exciting times.I've had a really good life.I don't think I've wasted any of it.”并结合文章描述的作者105岁还创造吉尼斯世界纪录可知，作者认为自己有过许多美好的日子和许多激动人心的时刻，他过得很好，没有浪费人生；据此可推知，作者是一个乐观的人，故B项正确。

文章大意：笑对人体健康有诸多好处。笑疗法已被证明是非常有效的，全世界各地的专业的笑疗法治疗机构越来越多。
1．解析：D 根据空前的“Laughter is the best medicine.”和空后的内容可知，笑对人体健康有诸多好处，故D项“实际上，由科学家做出的研究表明笑对健康有很多益处”符合语境，承上启下。
2．解析：G 根据空后一句可知，孩子在进行重大医疗手术之前，看滑稽的电影和卡通片能够更好地应付痛苦和焦虑，故G项“在儿童医院使用笑疗法被证明是极有用的”符合语境，且该项中的“children's hospitals”与空后的“Children”呼应。

文章大意：本文主要介绍了在英国翻译小说销量上升，对中国小说需求增大。
1．解析：rose 考查时态。根据空后的“last year”可知，此处描述的是发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时，故填rose。
2．解析：saying 考查现在分词。分析句子结构可知，此处作伴随状语，say和句子主语为逻辑上的主谓关系，故填现在分词形式saying。
3．解析：copies 考查名词的单复数。copy此处意为“一册”，为可数名词，根据空前的“more than 2.6 million”可知，此处需填其复数形式，故填copies。

5．解析：ourselves 考查反身代词。阅读小说是我们所拥有的最好的换位思考的方式之一。put oneself in other people's shoes“设身处地，处于某人的境地”是固定用法，又由句中的“we”和语境可知，此处应填ourselves。
6．解析：how 考查副词。hungry是形容词，应用副词修饰，又根据语境可知，此处表示被翻译的小说销量的增长表明如此多的英国读者对来自其他国家的优秀文学作品是多么渴望。故填how。
