Scientists believe that the mind at night puts together bits of information in creative ways. Throughout the day your brain rarely gets a chance to stop and think. It constantly responds to a stream of challenges, from writing a report for a work deadline to remembering where you left your car keys and figuring out what to buy for dinner. Think of your brain like a web, says Russell Foster, Professor of Neuroscience at Oxford University. During the day the web is very tight, so you can only put information in a certain number of places. During sleep the web expands, and with the luxury of time, those bits of information can be put into lots of different places and make new associations. He adds that this process may help to foster the formation of new ideas. This bringing together of seemingly unrelated bits of information is vital to helping the brain think itself out of problems, says Russell Foster. Sleep seems to allow your mind to make nonobvious connections. It puts all the information from the day into a big biological theatre and forces the mind to speak to people at the back of the theatre, who you may not think you have any connection with. This is the basis of creativity connecting ideas, events and memories that wouldn39。t normally fit together. By placing volunteers into brain scanners and sending them to sleep, scientists have seen that the areas associated with emotion go into overdrive, especially while dreaming, while the areas that are responsible for logic (邏輯)are switched off. This not only explains why dreams are unbelievably randomyou can be talking to a colleague one minute and the next minute sitting in your old school classroom dressed in your nightclothes173。but also explains how the brain can put together different information.(1)In what way are the mind at night and the mind during the day different? A.The ways to receive information.B.The ways to provide information.C.The ways to process information.D.The ways to exchange information.(2)According to Russell Foster, what may bring out creativity? A.Information put together in normal ways.B.Information put together in unusual ways.C.Information stored in a biological theatre.D.Information stored in the mind.(3)Which can replace go into overdrive, underlined in the last paragraph? A.Start being active.B.Return to normal.C.Stop working.D.Perform badly.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Creative Power of the BrainB.Great Works from SleepC.Never Believe Your Sleeping MindsD.Sleep Can Bring Creative Ideas【答案】 (1)C(2)B(3)A(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文,討論了睡眠的重要性:睡眠可以帶來一些創(chuàng)造性的想法。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“ the mind at night puts together bits of information in creative ways. Throughout the day your brain rarely gets a chance to stop and think”在晚上大腦以創(chuàng)新的方式把信息組合在一起,。白天,你的大腦很少有機會停下來思考,可知在白天和晚上,大腦處理信息的方式是不同的,在晚上,大腦處理信息更有創(chuàng)造性。故選C。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的“Sleep seems to allow your mind to make nonobvious connections”睡眠似乎允許你的大腦做出一些不明顯的連接),以及“This is the basis of creativityconnecting ideas”這是創(chuàng)造性連接想法的基礎(chǔ),可知以不同尋常的方式組合在一起的信息會帶來創(chuàng)新。故選B。 (3)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的“but also explains how the brain can put together different information.,”尤其根據(jù)與之對比的while the areas that are responsible for logic(邏輯)are switched off,可得知與情感相聯(lián)系的大腦區(qū)域在睡眠的時候開始活躍起來。故選A。 (4)考查主旨大意。通覽全文可知本文討論了睡眠 的重要性:睡眠可以帶來一些創(chuàng)造性的想法。本文首段用事例提示該主題,然后結(jié)合實驗證明圍繞該主題進行闡述。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,詞義猜測,推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查,是一篇健康類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。10.閱讀短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。 New study shows that when teachers participate in a training program focused on prosocial (親社會的) classroom behavior, their students are better able to control their emotions, and that children who can regulate emotions are more likely to be academically successful. For the study, which appear
