As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect chance to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help. During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we’d better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong. The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn’t grow out of the information I’d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approach—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it. The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected. I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth finding out whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support, a preconceived story, but to say “yes, and.” 4. Why did the author attend the improvisation class? A. To get a different experience. B. To finish her Ph.D. at university. C. To give up her job as a science communicator. D. To improve her speaking and communicating ability. 5. What was the author’s change after attending the improvisation class? A. She formed her own idea quickly. B. She came up with lots of creative responses. C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers. D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion. 6. The author mentions applying the “yes, and” approach to her scientific experiments to ________. A explain the process of using the method B. prove the benefits of the improvisation class C. share her own research experiences with readers D. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class 7. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph? A. They should attend the improvisation class. B. They should question all preconceived ideas. C. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data. D. They should try to improve their academic knowledge. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍了作者通过上即兴交流课，学会了“yes, and”方法，让自己更善于倾听，并给自己的科学研究带来了好处。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect chance to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.”（作为一个安静害羞的女孩，我害怕在陌生人面前即兴交流。然而，我知道我想在完成博士学位后成为一名科学交流者，因此，这似乎是一个学习如何有效地与他人交谈和沟通的绝佳机会。我报名了，因为我知道这段经历会给我帮助）可知，因为作者打算的完成博士学位后成为一名科学交流者，需要提高与他人交谈和沟通的能力，但她一个安静害羞的女孩，她参加即兴交流课是想要提高自己的交谈和沟通的能力，由此可知，作者参加即兴交流课是为了提高她的交谈和沟通能力。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment.”（最初的几个场景很难，但随着上了几个月课后，我变得更舒服了，甚至开始享受我们的课程。我变得更善于倾听，更善于与我的谈话伙伴交流，也更善于在这一刻清晰地沟通）可知，在上了几周课后，作者变得更善于倾听，更善于与谈话伙伴交流，也更善于清晰地沟通，由此可知，作者参加即兴交流课后的变化是：在发表意见之前，她成了一个很好的倾听者。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.”（在上课之前，当我实验产生意想不到的数据时，我会被卡住，觉得自己犯了一个错误。但是现在，我不会灰心，而是会对结果是真实的可能性保持开放态度，继续探索数据，最终发现一种新类型的细胞——一种不符合预期的细胞）和最后一段关键句“I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson.”（我认为所有的科学家都能从这个课中受益）可知，运用了“yes, and”方法，让作者在进行科学实验的过程中受益，她会对意想不到的结果持开放态度，继续研究，最终有了意想不到的科学发现，她认为所有的科学家都能从这个课中受益，由此可知，作者提到在她的科学实验中运用“yes, and”的方法是为了证明即兴交流课的好处。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth finding out whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support, a preconceived story, but to say “yes, and.””（如果数据显示犀牛是图书管理员，那么就有必要了解犀牛是否是图书管理员。作为科学家，我们的工作不是去挑战支持一个事先形成的描述的数据，而是说“yes, and”）可知，作者认为面对之前的科学数据，我们的工作并不是去挑战它，而是要接受它，并继续研究，探索真伪，由此可知，从最后一段可以推断出科学家应该通过接受早期数据进行研究。故选C项。 C When you are stuck on a problem, sometimes it is best to stop thinking about it — consciously, anyway. Research has shown that taking a break or a nap can help the brain create pathways to a solution. Now a new study expands on the effect by using sound cues (提示) to focus the sleeping mind on a targeted problem. When humans sleep, parts of the brain replay certain memories, strengthening and transforming them. About a decade ago researchers developed a technique, called targeted memory reactivation (TMR), aimed at further reinforcing selected memories: when a sound becomes associated with a memory and is later played during sleep, that memory gets reactivated. In a study published last November in Psychological Science, scientists tested whether revisiting the memory of a puzzle during sleep might also improve problem-solving. About 60 participants visited the laboratory before and after a night of sleep. In an evening session, they attempted spatial, verbal and conceptual puzzles, with a distinct music clip repeating in the background for each, until they worked on six puzzles they could not solve. Overnight they wore electrodes to detect slow-wave sleep and a device played the sounds assigned to three of the six unsolved puzzles. The next day, back at the lab, the participants attempted the six puzzles again. All told, the subjects solved 32 percent of the sound-prompted puzzles versus 21 percent of the untargeted puzzles — a boost of more than 50 percent. The researchers “very bravely went for quite complex tasks that involved a lot of complex processing, and remarkably they found these really strong effects in all of their tasks,” says Penny Lewis, a psychologist at Cardiff University. “These are supercool results. Now we need to go out and try to understand them by firstly repeating the tasks and secondly trying to work out the component processes that are actually being influenced.” Beyond providing new evidence that humans restructure memories while sleeping, the research may have practical implications. “In a futuristic world, maybe TMR could help us use sleep to work on our problems,” says lead author Kristin Sanders, who was a graduate student at Northwestern University during the study. Sleep-monitoring technology is increasingly accessible — and even without gadgets (小装置), prospective solvers can focus on important problems before bed. Still, sleep is not magic; people need to do their homework and load their heads with the puzzle pieces involved. “I’m not going to solve cancer with this technique,” Sanders says, “because I don’t know anything about cancer research.” 8. What is the function of sound cues in the new study? A. To help the brain create pathways to a solution. B. To direct the sleeping mind towards specific problems. C. To monitor slow-wave sleep and detect reactivated memory. D. To provide background music for participants attempting puzzles. 9. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The complex tasks. B. The strong effects. C. The component processes. D. The expected results. 10. What can we know about the new study? A. Participants attempted the puzzles with targeted music clips on. B. Participants worked on six puzzles they couldn’t solve overnight. C. The electrodes detected sleep and played the sounds assigned to the puzzles. D. Subjects solved two more sound-prompted puzzles than untargeted puzzles. 11. What message does Sanders want to convey? A. Necessity is the mother of invention. B. Where there is a dream, there is a way. C. We can’t make a cake without ingredients. D. One will dream about what he thinks of. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究进一步证实睡眠有助于我们解决问题，因为在睡眠时人类的记忆可以重组，这有利于解决我们在白天遇到的问题。此外，科学家期待这个研究结果可以在未来，让人们通过睡眠解决一些问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Now a new study expands on the effect by using sound cues(提示) to focus the sleeping mind on a targeted problem.”（现在，一项新的研究通过使用声音提示将睡眠中的大脑集中在目标问题上，进一步阐述了这种效果。）可知，声音提示在新研究中的作用是引导睡眠中的大脑专注于特定的问题。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“The researchers “very bravely went for quite complex tasks that involved a lot of complex processing, and remarkably they found these really strong effects in all of their tasks,” says Penny Lewis, a psychologist at Cardiff University.”（ 加的夫大学的心理学家Penny Lewis说，研究人员“非常勇敢地完成了涉及大量复杂处理的非常复杂的任务，值得注意的是，他们在所有任务中都发现了这些非常强烈的影响”。“）可知，现在，我们需要走出去，通过首先重复任务，其次尝试找出实际受到影响的组件流程来尝试理解这些非常强烈的影响。可知，them指代的是强烈的影响。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“About 60 participants visited the laboratory before and after a night of sleep. In an evening session, they attempted spatial, verbal and conceptual puzzles, with a distinct music clip repeating in the background for each, until they worked on six puzzles they could not solve.”（ 大约60名参与者在睡眠前后参观了实验室。在晚上的一次会议上，他们尝试了空间、语言和概念谜题，每个谜题的背景都会重复一段不同的音乐片段，直到他们解决了六个无法解决的谜题。）可知，参与者尝试使用有针对性的音乐片段解谜题。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Still, sleep is not magic; people need to do their homework and load their heads with the puzzle pieces involved.（然而，睡眠并不是魔法；人们需要做他们的功课，并将涉及的难题片段装入他们的头脑中。）可推知，Sanders想要传达的信息是，我们不能在没有原料的情况下制作蛋糕，即我们不能在没有准备的情况下解决问题。故选C项。 D Most of us don’t have any memories from the first three to four year of our lives. And when we do try to think back to our earliest memories, it is often unclear whether they are the real thing or just recollections based on photos or stories told to us. The phenomenon, known as “childhood amnesia,” bas been puzzling psychologists for more than a century. It may seem that the reason we don’t remember being babies is that babies don’t have a fully developed memory. But babies as young as six months can form both short-term and long-term memories. In one study, six- month-olds who learned how to press a lever to operate a toy. Of course, memory capabilities at these ages are not adult-like — they continue to develop until adolescence. In fact, developmental changes in basic memory processes have been put forward as an explanation for childhood amnesia, and it’s one of the best theories we’ve got so far. These basic processes involve several brain regions and include forming, maintaining and later bringing back the memory. But this does not seem to be the whole story. Another factor that we know plays a role is language. From the ages of one to six, children progress from the one word stage of speaking to becoming fluent in their native language(s), so there are major changes in their language competence that overlap with the childhood amnesia period. It is true to some extent that a child’s ability to describe an event predicts how well they remember it months or years later. While there are still things we don’t understand about childhood amnesia, it’s important to remember that, even if we can’t clearly remember specific events from when we were very young, they still influence our behavior. The first few years of life are forgettable and yet powerful in shaping the adults that we become. 12. What does the study mentioned in paragraph 2 show? A. Babies don’t have a fully developed memory. B. Babies don’t suffer from childhood amnesia. C. Babies can remember things for weeks. D. Babies can benefit from hands - on learning. 13. Which of the following is one of the best theories concerning childhood amnesia? A. Babies’ brains are not mature enough. B. Babies’ language skills need developing. C. Babies cannot go through basic memory processes. D. Babies rarely experience events that had a big impact. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Specific events from early childhood should be told to children. B. The first few years of life should be taken seriously. C. We can overcome childhood amnesia someday. D. Childhood amnesia is fairly common. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. How our early childhood memories form B. How childhood amnesia influences our lives C. Why some memories disappear and others don’t D. Why we can’t remember our early childhood 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释说明了为什么我们不记得童年，解释了“童年健忘症”发生的原因以及相关研究。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It may seem that the reason we don’t remember being babies is that babies don’t have a fully developed memory. But babies as young as six months can form both short-term and long-term memories. In one study, six- month-olds who learned how to press a lever to operate a toy.(我们不记得自己是婴儿的原因似乎是婴儿没有发育完全的记忆。但6个月大的婴儿就能形成短期和长期记忆。在一项研究中，六个月大的婴儿学习如何按杠杆操作玩具)”可推知，第二段中提到的研究说明了婴儿能记住几周的事情。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Of course, memory capabilities at these ages are not adult-like — they continue to develop until adolescence. In fact, developmental changes in basic memory processes have been put forward as an explanation for childhood amnesia, and it’s one of the best theories we’ve got so far.(当然，这些年龄段的记忆能力并不像成年人那样——它们会一直发展到青春期。事实上，基本记忆过程的发展变化已经被提出来解释儿童健失症，这是迄今为止我们得到的最好的理论之一)”可知，关于童年健忘症的最好的理论之一是“婴儿不能经历基本的记忆过程”。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While there are still things we don’t understand about childhood amnesia, it’s important to remember that, even if we can’t clearly remember specific events from when we were very young, they still influence our behavior. The first few years of life are forgettable and yet powerful in shaping the adults that we become.(虽然关于童年健忘症，我们仍有一些不了解的地方，但重要的是要记住，即使我们不能清楚地记住我们很小的时候发生的具体事件，它们仍然会影响我们的行为。生命的最初几年是很容易忘记的，但对我们长大成人却有着巨大的影响)”可推知，生命的最初几年应该被认真对待。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Most of us don’t have any memories from the first three to four year of our lives. And when we do try to think back to our earliest memories, it is often unclear whether they are the real thing or just recollections based on photos or stories told to us. The phenomenon, known as “childhood amnesia,” bas been puzzling psychologists for more than a century.(我们大多数人都没有生命最初三到四岁的记忆。当我们试图回想起我们最早的记忆时，往往不清楚它们是真实的，还是只是基于照片或故事的回忆。这种现象被称为“童年健忘症”，一个多世纪以来一直困扰着心理学家)”结合文章主要解释说明了为什么我们不记得童年，解释了“童年健忘症”发生的原因以及相关研究。可知，D选项“为什么我们不记得我们的童年”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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。（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） In modern life, stress has become an unwelcome companion for many.

I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought. That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car. Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said. Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out. At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry." 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Para 1 I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He looked at me in disbelief, asking me what to do. Flashing him another apologetic smile, I begged him for a delayed payment. “If I miss this last bus to Prague, I’ll be late for the conference which is so important that I can’t afford to miss it!” I explained. “May I have your phone number? I will call you and return the money I owe you. I promise I will keep my word or you keep my watch!” I added, handing him my watch as well as my business card. Gunter accepted my business card but rejected my watch. He wrote down his phone number and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise, Sir.” A feeling of gratitude washed over me as I heard his words. Giving him a firm handshake, I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the bus, and jumped onto it just before its departure. Para 2 Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before. Beaming a warm smile at him, I gave him a big hug the moment I saw him. We chatted happily on the way to the airport. I told him that thanks to his generosity and timely help, everything had gone smoothly. When he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down. I also gave him an attractive souvenir I had bought at Prague, which he accepted with delight. We became good friends and kept in touch with each other regularly. I felt blessed to have such a warm-hearted friend like Gunter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一次因风暴延误的旅途中，匆忙搭乘出租车前往车站赶最后一班去布拉格的公共汽车。司机冈特不熟悉车站位置，通过电话求助后顺利抵达。到达时作者却发现自己没带现金，尝试用葡萄牙银行卡支付没有成功，而车站的取款机也故障了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我跑回到冈特那里，告诉他这个坏消息。”可知，第一段可描写作者留下冈特的电话，承诺会还钱给对方，冈特同意，最终作者及时登上了公共汽车。 ②由第二段首句内容“四天后，当我回到维也纳时，我按照承诺给冈特打了电话。”可知，第二段可描写作者付费给冈特，并向对方表示感激，两人成为了好朋友。 2.续写线索：作者给出解决办法——承诺还钱——冈特同意——作者登上公共汽车——履行承诺还钱——两人成为朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：reject/refuse ②给某人拥抱：give sb. a hug/embrace sb. ③记下，写下：write down/set down 情绪类 ①难以置信地：in disbelief/incredibly/unbelievably ②开心地：happily/joyfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before.（运用了where引导的限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】When he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句，that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 成都市盐道街中学2024-2025学年上期10月月考 高2023级英语科试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Learning to say “yes, and” When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect chance to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help. During our first class we learned an important concept of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we’d better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong. The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn’t grow out of the information I’d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approach—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it. The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected. I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth finding out whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support, a preconceived story, but to say “yes, and.” 4. Why did the author attend the improvisation class? A. To get a different experience. B. To finish her Ph.D. at university. C. To give up her job as a science communicator. D. To improve her speaking and communicating ability. 5. What was the author’s change after attending the improvisation class? A. She formed her own idea quickly. B. She came up with lots of creative responses. C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers. D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion. 6. The author mentions applying the “yes, and” approach to her scientific experiments to ________. A. explain the process of using the method B prove the benefits of the improvisation class C. share her own research experiences with readers D. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class 7. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph? A. They should attend the improvisation class. B. They should question all preconceived ideas. C. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data. D. They should try to improve their academic knowledge. C When you are stuck on a problem, sometimes it is best to stop thinking about it — consciously, anyway. Research has shown that taking a break or a nap can help the brain create pathways to a solution. Now a new study expands on the effect by using sound cues (提示) to focus the sleeping mind on a targeted problem. When humans sleep, parts of the brain replay certain memories, strengthening and transforming them. About a decade ago researchers developed a technique, called targeted memory reactivation (TMR), aimed at further reinforcing selected memories: when a sound becomes associated with a memory and is later played during sleep, that memory gets reactivated. In a study published last November in Psychological Science, scientists tested whether revisiting the memory of a puzzle during sleep might also improve problem-solving. About 60 participants visited the laboratory before and after a night of sleep. In an evening session, they attempted spatial, verbal and conceptual puzzles, with a distinct music clip repeating in the background for each, until they worked on six puzzles they could not solve. Overnight they wore electrodes to detect slow-wave sleep and a device played the sounds assigned to three of the six unsolved puzzles. The next day, back at the lab, the participants attempted the six puzzles again. All told, the subjects solved 32 percent of the sound-prompted puzzles versus 21 percent of the untargeted puzzles — a boost of more than 50 percent. The researchers “very bravely went for quite complex tasks that involved a lot of complex processing, and remarkably they found these really strong effects in all of their tasks,” says Penny Lewis, a psychologist at Cardiff University. “These are supercool results. Now we need to go out and try to understand them by firstly repeating the tasks and secondly trying to work out the component processes that are actually being influenced.” Beyond providing new evidence that humans restructure memories while sleeping, the research may have practical implications. “In a futuristic world, maybe TMR could help us use sleep to work on our problems,” says lead author Kristin Sanders, who was a graduate student at Northwestern University during the study. Sleep-monitoring technology is increasingly accessible — and even without gadgets (小装置), prospective solvers can focus on important problems before bed. Still, sleep is not magic; people need to do their homework and load their heads with the puzzle pieces involved. “I’m not going to solve cancer with this technique,” Sanders says, “because I don’t know anything about cancer research.” 8. What is the function of sound cues in the new study? A. To help the brain create pathways to a solution. B. To direct the sleeping mind towards specific problems. C. To monitor slow-wave sleep and detect reactivated memory. D. To provide background music for participants attempting puzzles. 9. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A The complex tasks. B. The strong effects. C. The component processes. D. The expected results. 10. What can we know about the new study? A. Participants attempted the puzzles with targeted music clips on. B Participants worked on six puzzles they couldn’t solve overnight. C. The electrodes detected sleep and played the sounds assigned to the puzzles. D. Subjects solved two more sound-prompted puzzles than untargeted puzzles. 11. What message does Sanders want to convey? A. Necessity is the mother of invention. B. Where there is a dream, there is a way. C. We can’t make a cake without ingredients. D. One will dream about what he thinks of. D Most of us don’t have any memories from the first three to four year of our lives. And when we do try to think back to our earliest memories, it is often unclear whether they are the real thing or just recollections based on photos or stories told to us. The phenomenon, known as “childhood amnesia,” bas been puzzling psychologists for more than a century. It may seem that the reason we don’t remember being babies is that babies don’t have a fully developed memory. But babies as young as six months can form both short-term and long-term memories. In one study, six- month-olds who learned how to press a lever to operate a toy. Of course, memory capabilities at these ages are not adult-like — they continue to develop until adolescence. In fact, developmental changes in basic memory processes have been put forward as an explanation for childhood amnesia, and it’s one of the best theories we’ve got so far. These basic processes involve several brain regions and include forming, maintaining and later bringing back the memory. But this does not seem to be the whole story. Another factor that we know plays a role is language. From the ages of one to six, children progress from the one word stage of speaking to becoming fluent in their native language(s), so there are major changes in their language competence that overlap with the childhood amnesia period. It is true to some extent that a child’s ability to describe an event predicts how well they remember it months or years later. While there are still things we don’t understand about childhood amnesia, it’s important to remember that, even if we can’t clearly remember specific events from when we were very young, they still influence our behavior. The first few years of life are forgettable and yet powerful in shaping the adults that we become. 12. What does the study mentioned in paragraph 2 show? A. Babies don’t have a fully developed memory. B. Babies don’t suffer from childhood amnesia. C. Babies can remember things for weeks. D. Babies can benefit from hands - on learning. 13. Which of the following is one of the best theories concerning childhood amnesia? A. Babies’ brains are not mature enough. B. Babies’ language skills need developing. C. Babies cannot go through basic memory processes. D. Babies rarely experience events that had a big impact. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Specific events from early childhood should be told to children. B. The first few years of life should be taken seriously. C. We can overcome childhood amnesia someday. D. Childhood amnesia is fairly common. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. How our early childhood memories form B. How childhood amnesia influences our lives C. Why some memories disappear and others don’t D. Why we can’t remember our early childhood 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。（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） In modern life, stress has become an unwelcome companion for many.

I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought. That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car. Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said. Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out. At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry." 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
