21、A degree in what?

How many people in the world have a university degree in enigmatology? Well, not many. As a matter of fact, the number of enigmatology graduates in the whole world is just one: a man whose job it is to design puzzles for newspapers and magazines. American Will Shortz is an author and crossword editor. He has worked on over a hundred books, and he owns the world’s largest collection of puzzle books and magazines. The oldest title in his collection was published in 1545! And because his work is also his hobby, he has always been interested in learning as much as possible about the subject.

Obviously, because he is the only enigmatologist in the world, there were no university professors who could teach him an established course of studies. He did not go to lectures and classes like his fellow students. Shortz designed his own research programme, which the university accepted, and he completed his course and received his bachelor’s degree from Indiana University in 1974.

So the question remains, what exactly is enigmatology? It is the study of puzzles: their types, their history, and their popularity. It’s a mixture of history, maths, logic and cultural studies.

There were some people who criticized the university for offering a course in such a strange subject, and they were also critical of Shortz, claiming that he had taken advantage of Indiana University’s flexibility. But Shortz has his fans too, such as the former US president Bill Clinton. He sent Shortz a personal note on his 50th birthday because he loves the New York Times crossword, which Shortz edits. Shortz has also been a guest on several television shows, including an episode of the famous cartoon The Simpsons, and the comedy series How I Met Your Mother, where he played himself.

【1】Which of the statement is true according to the text?

A. Shortz’s occupation is to write puzzles for university graduates.

B. Shortz has worked on all the titles in his collection.

C. Shortz did original research and graduated from an American university.

D. Bill Clinton sent Shortz a note on his birthday because they’re friends.

【2】What is the author’s attitude towards Shortz?

A. Indifferent. B. Neutral.

C. Praising. D. Criticizing.

22、You can't see your sleeping pet's brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when Fido or Fluffy (possibly your cat's name) might be dreaming. If you watch closely, you'll see as your cat falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular and her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you'll notice a change in her breathing. Her eyes move under her closed eye-lids. Her paws and moustache twitch. Fluffy has entered the REM (rapid eye movement), or dreaming, phase of sleep. Although she twitches and makes little noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are blocked, so she can't run about. She is in a state of “sleep paralysis.”

Back in 1963, Michel Jouvet, a French scientist who was studying sleep in cats, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to chase balls that Jouvet couldn't see and arches their backs at invisible enemies. He figured he was watching them act out their dreams!

What were they dreaming about? Mostly, the dreaming cats seemed to be practicing important cat skills: following, pouncing, and fighting.

Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practice important skills and nails down recent learning. This may account for why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably vitally important to our primitive ancestors, and why dreaming influences our ability to learn.

Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, scientist think that all mammals dream, but reptiles, and fishes don't. (They're not sure about birds.)

How often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down.

【1】The author describes a cat's sleeping behavior at the very beginning to ________.

A．attract readers' attention

B．draw a conclusion about his perspective

C．put forward a theory on cats

【2】What did Michel Jouvet find out in his research?

A．Cats demonstrated what they dreamt.

B．Cats became unconscious after falling asleep.

C．Cats were rather naughty while sleeping.

D．Cats could suffer paralysis due to sleeping issues.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “nails down” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Rides.

B．Tests.

C．Masters.

D．Accepts.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．You'll Never Truly Understand Your Cat

B．Your Cat Hides Secrets in Her Dreams

C．How to Read Animals’ Dreams?

D．Do Animals Dream?

24、Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.

One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images. 【1】 Furthermore, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.

Another argument against television is that 【2】 But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like 【3】 “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads,” Anderson says.

Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. 【4】

For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that 【5】

A．television enriches children’s daily life.

B．it replaces reading as a form of entertainment.

C．Watching television is good for their brain development.

D．Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.

E．television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.

F．Instead, they learn both specific and hidden meanings from what they see.

G．parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading.
