21、Researchers say a new study shows two way communication is possible with people who are asleep and dreaming.

In separate experiments, scientists in the US, France, Germany and the Netherlands asked people simple questions while they slept. Sleepers would respond by moving their eyes or twitching (抽动) their feet in a certain way to indicate their answers.

“Since the 1980s, we’ve known that dreamers can communicate out of dreams by using these signals.” says Karen Konkoly, a Ph. D. student at Northwestern University who is the first author on the study published in Current Biology. “But we were wondering, can we also communicate in by asking people questions that they could actually hear in their dreams so that we could kind of have a more meaningful conversation?”

For example. a typical question would be to ask what is 8 minus 6. A 19-year-old American man was able to respond by moving his eyes lift-right, left-right—two times—to signal “2”. Researchers asked the question again, and he moved his eyes the same way two times again.

Out of the 158 trials among 36 participants, about 18% of the time, they were able to give correct answers. In another 18%, it wasn’t clear whether participants were responding or not. They were wrong 3% of the time. Most often, 61% of the participants didn’t respond at all.

The researchers write that their findings present new opportunities for gaining real-time information about dreaming. Konkoly says there’s the possibility of one day doing a sort of “dream therapy (疗法)” for talking down people experiencing nightmares. And if more reliable communication methods can be worked out, it could help people with creative activities and ideas. With the help of an awake person, Konkoly says it could be possible to“combine those logical advantages of wake with the creative advantages of dreams and maybe have some more applications.

【1】How did the sleepers give answers in the study?

A．By making gestures.

B．By making eye movements.

C．By making faces.

D．By using sign languages.

【2】What can we learn from the new study?

A．Dreamers showed good creative thinking.

B．Most sleepers could give correct answers.

C．It was the first study of its sort in the world.

D．Researchers got real-time information about dreaming.

【3】What does the new study focus on?

A．Whether dreamers can communicate out of dreams.

B．What questions are suitable to be asked in the study.

C．How researchers can help people experiencing nightmares.

D．Whether two-way communication with dreamers is possible.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to “a meaningful conversation” with dreamers?

A．Skeptical.

B．Objective.

C．Doubtful.

D．Critical.

22、   Five years ago, Yellow-Purple tore a flexor tendon(屈肌腱), making it difficult to use her left leg. The little penguin was having a hard time walking and swimming.

Yellow-Purple lives with a large group of African penguins at Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut. African penguins are an endangered species. They are beautiful, black and white birds that are about two feet tall when fully grown, and they are very popular with the Aquarium’s visitors.

The staff at the Aquarium made a little support boot for Yellow-Purple from plastic. This supported her left ankle and made it much easier for her to do all the things that penguins like to do. Yellow-Purple was getting along fine with her boot, but then Dr. Jen Flower, Chief Clinical Veterinarian at Mystic Aquarium, heard about 3 D printing technology. She decided to use it to help better the boot.

Luckily, Mystic Aquarium’s Vice President of Education &Conservation, Kelly Marls, knew that Mystic Middle School had recently acquired a 3D Systems printer. Kelly reached out to the school and arranged a meeting. Sue Prince, Library Media Specialist at Mystic Middle School, and seven middle school students visited Yellow-Purple to learn what was needed, and then contacted the supplier of their 3 D printer, ACT Group.

With ACT Group’s help, the students learned how to scan Yellow-Purple’s existing foot cast, then use that data to create a more efficient boot with sculpting software. The final boot design was printed on a 3D printer using multiple materials, allowing the boot to be flexible enough for comfortable movement, yet hard enough to support the injured tendon.

The students were thrilled when they saw Yellow-Purple walking almost back to normal. It was a great way to put science into practice. Celebrities like Ashton Kutcher shared Yellow-Purple’s story on Facebook, inspiring more than 1.5 million combined views.

【1】What can we learn about African penguins?

A.They are very large in number. B.They are dangerous species.

C.They are beautiful when young. D.They are attractive to visitors.

【2】Who came up with the idea of an updated support boot?

A.The ACT Group. B.Dr. Jen Flower.

C.Kelly Matis. D.Sue Prince

【3】What preparation work was done before the students got the ACT Group’s help?

A.They reached school on time. B.They held a meeting to discuss the problem.

C.They paid a visit to Yellow-Purple. D.They contacted the ACT Group for supplies.

【4】What is the best title for this text?

A.The development of 3D printing B.A penguin benefiting from high-tech

C.An effort to put science into practice D.A software that can design

23、   Buying toothpaste can raise all sorts of questions. Which brand? Do I want whitening? Are my teeth sensitive?

A question you may not ask yourself is why the toothpaste tube comes in a cardboard box. After all, the tube is what actually holds the toothpaste. It would be like putting shampoo or shaving cream into an additional package.

A Change. org petition is asking that same question while encouraging toothpaste manufacturers to abandon the cardboard box, thinking it is kind of waste.

Toothpaste boxes do look good on the shelf, and it’s almost certainly easier to package, ship and stock toothpaste that way. In the 1995 book “Waste Age and Recycling Times: Recycling Handbook,” the editor explains that toothpaste boxes provide information about the product, serve a marketing function, protect the tube and prevent theft. The book also says the boxes are “often made from recycled paperboard,” providing a market for wastepaper in addition to packaging for a tube.

We can recycle the tubes (and your toothbrushes, for that matter), but it’s not easy. Since products have to be cleaned before they can be recycled—this is why you can’t recycle a cheese-riddled pizza box—it’s unlikely you can just toss the tube in your city’s recycling bin with wastepaper and glass bottles. There’s still toothpaste stuck inside the tube, after all. Plus, toothpaste tubes are often more than one type of material fused together, and that requires special machinery to separate them.

So what can you do if you really want to clean your teeth and keep the environment clean, too? Well, you can make your own toothpaste—some websites offer recipes that are easy to learn at home—and cut out the tubes and the unnecessary packaging entirely. You could also try something like Bite, a toothpaste-pill delivery service focused on making toothpaste healthier and more sustainable. You bite down on a cube, then brush with a wet toothbrush. Foamy(泡沫) toothpaste goodness occurs. The pills come in a recyclable glass jar and all the mail packaging is recyclable as well.

【1】Why do people feel normal when they see the toothpaste tube in a cardboard box?

A．The toothpaste brings benefits.

B．The toothpaste is similar to shampoo.

C．The tube is what actually holds the toothbrush.

D．The cardboard box usually holds the toothpaste tube.

【2】What can we learn about toothpaste boxes?

A．They look out of place.

B．They aren’t recyclable.

C．They are difficult to pack up.

D．They are useful in providing information.

【3】What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph?

A．Make toothpaste yourself.

B．Throw your toothpaste.

C．Ask Bite for better advice.

D．Buy some pills in place of toothpaste.

【4】Where is this text most likely from?

A．A personal diary.

B．A public guidebook.

C．An online report.

D．A fashion magazine.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

In high school, I was a straight-A student, a member of many school clubs, and a receiver of many rewards. However, I had been subjected to (受到……折磨) peer pressure. Wanting to be “cool!”, I started going to parties and drinking, drunk beyond recognition. My life took a tum for the worse. However, the experience in one summer program taught me a lesson: never do something you believe is wrong just to gain the approval of others.

In June, I worked part-time at a restaurant. The day before I left for the program, one co-worker offered me his driver’s license, telling me to have fun in Quebec since we two almost looked the same. I’d seen friends walk into liquor (酒) stores with fake licenses and come out carrying a twelve-pack of beer, smiling proudly. So I took the license, but I promised myself that I wouldn’t use it. However, I easily got carried away.

On the first night of the program, while walking around, my new friends and I came across a liquor store. Kai asked if anyone had a fake license. After everyone shook his head, I cleared my throat and declared, “I do.” With everyone’s admiration and Kai’s twenty dollars and instruction, I boldly agreed to take on the task without thinking. I managed to buy a case of beer. The boys cheered and gave me pats on the back. “You’re the man,” someone said to me. The praise boosted my self-confidence.

The last night there was a party. A few of my friends insisted that we drink before the dance. They asked me, the “ID man,” to buy alcohol. To earn their admiration, I took the cash and bought what they wanted. Later that night, I was enjoying myself when Kai said nervously, “Cristian isn’t okay.” Worried for my friend, I went to assess the situation. Clearly, Cristian was overly drunk and almost unconscious (不省人事的).

注意：
