1、漳州市2014 高考英語(yǔ)（閱讀理解）一輪暑假訓(xùn)練（7）（答案） FRIDAY, Dec．5, 2008—College students who think all-night study sessions will help them remember facts might want to get some sleep instead．That's the message from a new study that finds that as you sleep, the mind consolidates the things you learn during the day．

2、Study participants who learned how to play a video game in the morning or evening did a better job the next day after a night's rest, apparently because their brains were actively absorbing what they'd learned as they slept． The finding shows "that sleep is not just a passive state when no informat

3、ion is coming in," said Howard Nusbaum, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago． For the study, the researchers recruited 200 college students．Most of them weren't very familiar with playing video games．Some of the participants learned how to play the games in the morning, while othe

4、rs learned in the evening．The researchers then tested the subjects on the video games 12 hours later and 24 hours later． Those who took part in the morning training sessions showed an average eight-percentage-point improvement in their performance immediately after training．They performed more poor

5、ly—scoring four percentage points better—12 hours later．But they scored 10 percentage points better the next morning． "If we train you in the morning and come back at the end of the day, you forget some of what you learned," Nusbaum said．"But if you sleep after that, it restores some of what you le

6、arned．" The students who took part in the evening training sessions performed better the next morning after sleeping, than they did after being trained． The role that dreams play in the learning process—if any—isn't clear．But some dreams could serve as a kind of practice for the brain, Nusbaum sa

7、id．"If you play a video game a lot, and you're playing in your dreams, maybe that could help you learn．" Jerry Siegel, professor at the Center for Sleep Research at the University of Calfornia, Los Angeles, said going without sleep hurts performance, but he's not convinced that sleep itself activel

8、y contributes to learning． "If you take a break for a few hours, it can easily be shown that learning did occur, because performance is better at the start of a new learning session than it was at the end of the initial session," he said．"No sleep needs to occur for this to happen．" Still, Siegel

9、 suggested that sleep before learning a skill is crucial．"For long-term retention, it is more important to be well rested and therefore attentive when you are doing the learning than afterwards," he said．"It is even better if you don't have to choose and get your natural amounts of sleep every day．"

10、 9 What does the underlined word ‘want’ （in Paragraph 1） mean? A．lack B．wish C．desire D．need 10 What is mainly talked about in this text? A．The effect of video games on learning B．The relation between sleep and learning． C．The role of dreams in the learning process D．The difference

11、between morning and evening trainings． 11 What would be the best title for the text? A．Sleep strengthens learning． B．Dreams clearly help learning． C．A break before learning is better． D．Video games improve performance． 12 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

12、A．Training in the morning showed better results at once． B．Learning won’t occur during sleeping without dreams．． C．Sleeping well helps to absorb what one learned D．Studying all night helps to remember more facts． 參考答案 9-12 DBAC ****************************************************結(jié)束 閱

It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater, the younger pe

They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scan

16、s showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of l

17、earning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and mak

Reading, writing, and

34、as, the skin moves when rubbed. Daniele’s models must remain perfectly still for hours as he paints. He often uses his daughter and his son as his “canvases”.
