26、 Why do we dream? It’s a question researchers have been studying for years. Now new research suggests that some dreams may result from the brain’s effort to keep learning, even as we sleep.
In a study in Boston,100 volunteers were trained for an hour on a maze(迷宫). They tried to find their way through the difficult puzzle as quickly as possible. Then half of the volunteers were allowed to sleep for 90 minutes. The other half stayed awake, reading or relaxing. The ones who slept were asked to describe their dreams when they woke up.
After the rest, the volunteers were asked again to solve the maze. Those who hadn’t slept showed no improvement or did even worse after the break. Sleepers who didn’t report any mazerelated dreams did better but showed only a little improvement. However, four naptakers who reported dreaming about the maze showed a surprising improvement. They scored 10 times higher after sleeping and dreaming about the maze.
Even though the number of dreamers was small, the researchers noted that the gap in learning between the dreamers and nondreamers was so wide that the finding was significant(有意义的).
The dreamers had all performed poorly on the test before dreaming about it. That suggests that struggling with a task might be the trigger that leads the sleeping brain to focus on it and work on how to deal with it.
“It’s almost as if your brain is going through everything that happened today,” Dr Stickgold, a scientist at Harvard Medical School, said. ”The things you’re obsessed(迷住) with are the ones that your brain forces you to continue to do with. ”
【1】What were the volunteers asked to do after the rest?
A. To work on a new maze.
B. To continue to do the maze.
C. To talk with each other about their dreams.
D. To tell what they thought about the maze.
【2】According to the study, which group showed the greatest improvement?
A. Those who didn’t sleep.
B. Those who slept but didn’t dream.
C. Those who dreamed about the maze while sleeping.
D. Those who thought about the maze before falling asleep.
【3】The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 5 probably means “_______”.
A. chance B. cause
C. way D. idea
【4】What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Learning While You Dream
B. What Dreams Stand for
C. Dream a Good Dream
D. Dreams and Health
27、 A nation-wide honeybee crisis is under way in the United States. Lately bees have begun to rapidly disappear in24 states across the country. For reasons unknown, bees are flying off in search of nectar and pollen and simply never returning to their colonies.
Bees are extremely social insects; they never desert their young or bee queens. Researchers argue that bees are most probably dying during their search for nectar. A range of theories is also investigated, including a virus and poor bee nutrition. Researchers are looking into a group of pesticides that were banned in European countries to find out whether the chemical preparations(still used in the U. S.) are somehow causing damage to bees' born ability to find their way back home. According to yet another theory, the losses may have resulted from a massive attack by mites, which have repeatedly damaged bee colonies in the past.
The bees disappear as pressure has been building on the U. S. bee industry. The costs to maintain hives are continuously rising. The bee business becomes less profitable as a result. According to estimates by the Agriculture Department, the number of hives has dropped by a quarter over the last twenty years, and the number of beekeepers decreased by half. Beekeepers also have to deal with the problem of suburban spread as they search for areas where bees can hunt for nectar to stay healthy and feel good during the pollination season.
A terrible epidemic breaks out in The Plague, a novel by Albert Camus, shortly after hundreds of dead rats are discovered all over the town. The recent bee mystery, already nicknamed a "colony collapse disorder" by U. S researchers, seems to somewhat resemble the situation described in the novel. We can only hope that the "bee plague" will not take shape of a problem of global proportions.
【1】What does the text mainly tell us?
A.terrible epidemic breaks out in America.
B.The reason for honeybees' disappearance.
C.Measures should be taken to solve the problem.
D.The tragedy of mysterious disappearance of America's honeybees.
【2】According to the passage, which of the following is right?
A.Bees are not fond of living together.
B.The scientists have found out the reason for bees disappearance.
C.Probably, the losses may result from their colonies being damaged.
D.It is likely that the bees die while looking for nectar.
【3】What's the number of beekeepers if 480 people raised bees 20 years ago?
A.240.
B.200.
C.120.
D.60.
【4】Why do researchers worry about the loss of honeybees?
A.Because they think the bee plague will kill them.
B.Because they believe man will be defeated in the end.
C.Because they think the US bee industry is going to come to an end.
D.Because they fear the coming of the disaster described in the novel.
