21、   It sounds almost too good to be true，but a new study on sleeping brains suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actually help you to learn them．

For the study，researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations to subjects enjoying slow-wave sleep，a stage when a person has 1ittle consciousness of their environment．To ensure that the results were not compromised by foreign language words that subjects may have had some contact with at some point in their waking lives，researchers made up totally nonexistent foreign words．

When the subjects woke up，they were presented with the made-up words again without their translations．The subjects were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word indicated an object that was either smaller or larger．This vague(模糊的)way of testing their understanding of the words is an approach that is supposed to tap into the unconscious memory．

Unbelievably，the subjects were able to correctly classify the words in this way at an accuracy rate that was 10 percent higher than random chance．That’s not a rate high enough to have them suddenly communicating in a foreign tongue，but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still absorbing information on some level，even during sleep．

Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory，but previously its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation and organization of memories acquired during wakefulness．This is the first time that memory formation has been shown to be active during sleep．

In other words，our brains are listening to the world，and learning about it，even when our conscious selves are not present．

The next step for researchers will be to see if new information can be 1earned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep．If so，it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things．Sleep learning might become a widespread practice．

【1】Why did researchers use some made-up words in the study?

A. To guarantee the accuracy of the test result．

B. To increase the difficulty of testing information．

C. To avoid the subjects cheating in the experiment．

D. To test if our brain are good at learning something new．

【2】What were the subjects asked to do in the study?

A. Classify what they heard by size．

B. Make up a word to represent“large”or“small”．

C. Repeat the words they heard in the sleep．

D. Imagine the meanings of the made-up words．

【3】What conclusion did researchers draw from this study?

A. Sleep is necessary for a good memory．

B. Memory formation goes on during sleep．

C. Listening during sleep is good for our brain．

D. Learning languages in sleep has better effects．

【4】What will be the researchers’next plan?

A. To train people how to learn during sleep．

B. To prove the existence of unconscious memory．

C. To dig out the reason for unconscious learning．

D. To study the effect of sleep learning on conscious learning．

22、A city in South Korea, which has the world’s largest number of people using smartphones, has placed flashing lights and laser beams at a road crossing to warn “smartphone zombies” to look up and drivers to slow down, in the hope of preventing accidents.

The designers of the system were motivated by growing worry that more pedestrians glued to their phones will become victims in a country that already has some of the highest road death and injury rates among developed countries. State-run Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) believes its system of flashing lights at zebra crossings can warn both pedestrians and drivers.

In addition to red, yellow and blue LED lights on the pavement, “smombies” - smartphone zombies - will be warned by laser beam projected from power poles and a warning sent to the phones by an app that they are about to step into traffic.

“Increasing number of smombie accidents have occurred in pedestrian crossings, so these zombie lights are essential to prevent these pedestrian accidents,” said KICT senior researcher Kim Jong-hoon. Drivers are warned by the flashing lights, which have shown to be effective 83.4 percent of the time in the institute’s tests involving about 1,000 vehicles.

In 2017, more than 1,600 pedestrians were killed in auto related accidents, which is about 40 percent of total traffic deaths, according to data from the Traffic Accident Analysis System. For now, the smombie warning system is placed only in Ilsan, a suburban city about 30 km northwest of the capital, Seoul, but is expected to go nationwide, according to the institute.

Kim Dan-hee, a 23-year-old resident of Ilsan, welcomed the system, saying she was often too absorbed in her phone to remember to look at traffic. “This flashing light makes me feel safe as it makes me look around again, and I hope that we can have more of these in town,” she said.

【1】What do the underlined words “smartphone zombies” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Drivers driving after drunk.

B．Pedestrians buried in their phones.

C．Passengers crazy about phones.

D．Policemen in charge of traffic.

【2】What do we know about the warning system?

A．It has reduced death rate by 83.4%.

B．It has been spread nationwide.

C．It gives a warning to the smartphones.

D．It is being tried out in many places.

【3】What was the residents’ attitude to the traffic system?

A．Negative.

B．Unconcerned.

C．Disapproving.

D．Favorable.

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

A．South Korea Warns Smartphone Zombies of Traffic

B．Flashing Lights Are Used to Prevent Accidents

C．Smartphone Zombies Are Causing Traffic Accidents

D．South Korea Uses a New Traffic System

23、A new large-scale study that skipping dinner could result in weight gain and a higher likelihood of being overweight or obese.

For years, research has linked skipping breakfast with increased BMI (body mass index), but few studies have been carried out into the effect of the other meals of the day. However, researchers at Osaka University, whose study assessed breakfast, lunch, and diner habits, concluded that not eating diner is a “significant predictor of weight gain and overweight/obesity.”

The study followed 17,573 male and 8,860 female students over the age of 18 enrolled at Osaka University over an average of three years. As part of their annual check-ups, the students were asked how often they ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Researchers also took into consideration the time of eating, whether participants’ meal habits changed over the course of the study, and lifestyle factors like sleep, smoking, and drinking.

The number of students who said they sometimes skipped dinner was small, but the researchers found that those who did so all the time or occasionally were more likely to be older, more overweight, a smoker or drinker, to sleep for a shorter period of time, skip other meals more frequently, and eat dinner later when they did eat it.

For both men and women, skipping lunch was more likely to coincide with all the same outcomes except having a higher BMI. Skipping dinner, the researchers found, was”significantly associated” with weight gain of 10% or more, and having a BMI over 25, which is classed as overweight or obese.

It’s worth pointing out that BMI has its limitations — someone who is incredibly muscular and lean can be classed as obese, for example, but when assessing a large population it’s generally considered accurate enough as the outliers outweigh each other, “These results suggest that skipping dinner, which was much less common than skipping breakfast, has a stronger association with weight gain and overweight/obesity than skipping breakfast,” the study said.

The researchers suggested that the reason skipping dinner could lead to weight gain is that it makes people hungrier so they end up eating more over the course of the day. Another possible explanation, they said, is that dinner is typically a meal that lends itself to nutritious foods like lean proteins and vegetables, so skipping dinner may mean a lower quality diet.

The researchers note that their study had limitations: It should be repeated to assess a wider population, and they also didn’t take into account factors like exercise, stress, or depression.

【1】What can be inferred about the research?

A．Many studies have associated skipping dinner with overweight.

B．Dinner is a significant predictor of weight gain and obesity.

C．Anyone with a BMI over 25 is obese.

24、The United States is one of the world’s wealthiest countries. Despite this, many Americans are not even getting enough to eat. In fact, around 37 million Americans struggle just to put healthy food, or any food at all, on the table every day.

One might think that a food shortage is happening in America, but this is not the case. There is more than sufficient food for everyone. Unfortunately, 40% of food is wasted every day. There are many different ways food is wasted: farmers only pick the best-looking crops, deliveries aren’t made on time, supermarkets throw out extra products, customers buy more than they need, and so on. The highest level of wastage tends to happen in the richest communities.

Meanwhile, people who live in poor or rural areas often have little or no access to food. These areas are called “food deserts”. They have fewer supermarkets, and the only food options that they can afford are often unhealthy ones. Healthy foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables may be impossible to find. Sadly, 12. 8% of the American population live in food deserts.

What can we do to help those who don’t have enough food? Shirley and Annie Zhu came up with a solution. In 2017, when Hurricane Harvey destroyed over 100,000 homes in their city, Houston, the sisters got involved. While helping to clear water from a flooded supermarket, they saw a hugeamount of food being wasted. At the same time, thousands of people in the city didn’t have enough to eat.

The girls were only 15 when they set up Fresh Hub with 10 of their classmates. They created an app which could be used by residents to find out whether fresh food was available. Then they contacted local farmers and supermarkets to ask for their extra food.

At first, they found that people didn't take them seriously because they were so young. They decided to work with Second Servings, a local organization that had been providing food to food deserts around the city. The owner of Second Servings, Barbara Bronstein, was impressed with the twins and introduced them to several food providers. To date, Fresh Hub has delivered more than 15,000 pounds of food to people in need.

【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

A．What causes food shortage.

B．How much food is wasted every day.

C．How food is wasted in America.

D．Where the highest level of wastage happens.

【2】When did the sisters realize the problem of food waste?

A．When they were assisting in flood relief.

B．After they had made a survey about it.

C．When they were visiting a food desert.

D．After they had read reports about it.

【3】What can we say about “food deserts”?

A．Crops can’t grow in food deserts.

B．People in food deserts have no access to fresh water.

C．Only fruits and vegetables are available in food deserts.

D．About one in ten Americans live in food deserts.

【4】What can be inferred about Fresh Hub from the last two paragraphs?

A．Its founders are mostly college students.

B．It has gained support from Second Servings.

C．It has created a most popular food app.

D．It is welcomed by local farmers and supermarkets.
