Listening to an audiobook before bed affects a person's brain activity after they nod off as well as the content of their dreams．
Better understanding this effect could help treat certain mental health conditions by targeting memory processing during sleep．When we sleep, our brain spontaneously“replays”， or reactivates, patterns of electrical activity that are related to learning to transfer important new information to long-term memory storage．It has been suggested that dreams may reflect this reactivation, but exactly how is unclear．
To investigate, Deniz Kumral at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and her colleagues asked 20 people to listen to different audiobooks just before they went to sleep．These included The Mystery of the Blue Train by Agatha Christie and Inkheart by Comelia Funke．
Among the participants who remembered their dreams, the researchers could identify which audiobook each had heard from their descriptions of the dreams．While the participants slept, the researchers also used an EEG (脑电图) cap that detects electrical activity to record their brain waves．This showed that the wave patterns during the rapid eye movement phase of sleep, when dreams occur, were more similar between those who had heard the same audiobook than those who had heard different ones, suggesting that the listening experience shaped the brain activity．
Further analysis of the patterns revealed that high-frequency beta waves—between 18 and 30 hertz—were most strongly associated with the participants recalling the audiobook-related content of their dreams．The findings suggest that daily life experiences can shape dream content via memory reactivation, according to the researchers．But while dreaming may serve a distinct purpose in memory formation, it could also be a by-product of memory processing．
“Daytime experiences are rarely replayed as experienced, but are almost always modified or surface in different contexts，” says Kumral．“Individuals with certain psychological conditions or mental problems might benefit from tailored strategies that enhance memory processing or treat disorders of dreaming during sleep, potentially contributing to improved mental and emotional health．”
1．What did the researchers ask the participants to do
A．Record their dreams every night．
B．Wear an EEG cap during the day．
C．Listen to audiobooks during the day．
D．Listen to audiobooks just before sleep．
2．Why did Deniz Kumral and her colleagues do the research
A．To know how people process information．
B．To find out the contents of people's dreams．
C．To reveal the secret of improving people's memory．
D．To investigate how dreams replay patterns of electrical activity．
3．What does the underlined word “modified” in the last paragraph probably mean
A．Stored． B．Changed．
C．Forgotten． D．Strengthened．
4．What is the main idea of the text
A．The importance of dreams in memory formation．
B．Integration of daily experiences into dreams．
C．Listening experiences influencing brain activity．
D．Listening to audiobooks before bed shaping one's dream．

Ⅲ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了睡前听有声书会影响人在入睡后的大脑活动以及梦境内容。
1．D [细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“To investigate, Deniz Kumral at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and her colleagues asked 20 people to listen to different audiobooks just before they went to sleep．”可知，研究人员要求参与者在睡前听有声读物。故选D项。]
2．D [推理判断题。根据第二段及第三段第一句可推知，研究人员实施该研究是为了弄清楚梦境是如何重现脑电波活动模式的。故选D项。]
3．B [词义猜测题。根据画线词上下文“Daytime experiences are rarely replayed as experienced，but are almost always modified or surface in different contexts”可知，“modified”应与“replayed”的内涵相反，结合后文“在不同的情境中出现”可推知，画线词modified意为“修改，改变”。故选B项。]
4．D [主旨大意题。根据第一段及后文对梦境是如何重现脑电波活动模式的研究可知，本文主要介绍了睡前听有声书会形成梦境内容。故选D项。]
Ⅳ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。75岁的南希在10年前被确诊患有帕金森症，她开始去健身房练习非接触式拳击运动，结果她的症状减轻了，并且感觉良好。
1．C [句中的“While”表示让步，结合句中的“many grandmothers would be content to stay home and enjoy a relaxed retirement”和下文中的“she usually warms up with a walk before turning to her favourite sport”可知，南希并没有像其他老人那样在家中安享退休生活，而是积极参加运动，由此可知，她采取了一种与其他人完全不同的生活态度。故选C。]
2．D [根据下文中多次提到的“gym”可知，南希每周有三天要去健身房。故选D。]
3．D [根据下文中的“boxing”可知，南希最喜欢的运动是拳击。故选D。]
4．A [根据空后的“for Parkinson's”和常识可知，帕金森症是没有治愈方法的。故选A。]
5．B [根据下文中的“Nancy wasn't about to and wait for her symptoms to increase．”和常识可知，帕金森症会随着时间的推移而恶化。故选B。]
6．B [根据空后的“wait for her symptoms to increase”可知，南希不想被动地等待病情加重，所以她并不打算闲坐着。故选B。]
7．A [根据上文可知，南希不打算坐下来等着病情恶化，所以南希想要尝试动起来。in an attempt to do sth．意为“试图做某事、为了达成某个目标而尝试去做某事”。故选A。]
8．C [根据空前的“gym”和下文中的“As soon as she non-contact boxing, she enjoyed it very much！”可知，南希喜欢上了非接触式拳击运动，由此可知，她去健身房是为了研究运动。故选C。]

Ⅴ．【语篇解读】 本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国著名的桥梁——赵州桥。
1．existing [考查形容词。句意：建于隋朝605年的赵州桥是中国现存最古老的桥。此处作定语，修饰名词bridge，故应用形容词existing，意为“现存的，现有的”，故填existing。]
2．construction [考查名词。句意：隋朝的建筑师李春主持它的修建。此处作宾语，故应用名词construction意为“修建，建设”，不可数。故填construction。]
3．a [考查冠词。句意：在隋朝，赵州桥连接南北，作为主要的交通中心。此处center为可数名词，且此处泛指“一个中心”，故应用不定冠词，且major的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。]
4．breaking [考查非谓语动词。句意：洨河阻断了南北交通，因此急需修建一座桥。此处为with的复合结构，宾语the Xiao River与break之间为主动关系，故应用动词-ing形式作宾补，故填breaking。]
5．badly [考查副词。句意见上题。此处修饰动词was needed，故应用副词badly作状语，故填badly。]
6．but [考查连词。句意：考虑到洨河在冬天和春天会干涸，然而在夏天和秋天会涨水，因此这座桥必须设计得能经受得住恶劣的水文条件。空前的“the river dried up in spring and winter”与空后的“flooded in summer and autumn”为转折关系，故应用连词but，故填but。]
7．Compared [考查非谓语动词。句意：与填充拱肩相比，这种单弧敞肩石拱桥最大限度地减少了水的堵塞，使过流面积增加了16．5%，尤其是在洨河泛滥时。此处意为“与……相比较”，主语this single-span open-spandrel与compare之间为被动关系，故应用过去分词作状语，故填Compared。]
8．was shouldered [考查时态和语态。句意：由于该桥单跨，整座桥的重量和交通荷载由两个拱脚承担，给桥墩造成了很大的压力。桥墩有助于大拱转移500多吨的荷载，节省200多立方米的石头。此处为谓语动词，主语the weight of the whole bridge and its traffic load与shoulder之间为被动关系，且根据前文的“was”可知，此处应用一般过去时，故填was shouldered。]
9．which/that [考查定语从句。句意见上题。此处引导限制性定语从句，先行词为the abutments，指物，定语从句中缺少主语，故应用which或that引导，故填which/that。]
10．than [考查介词。句意：赵州桥是最早的单弧敞肩石拱桥，比欧洲同类桥梁早了700多年。根据空前的“earlier”可知，此处应用介词than，故填than。]
