【正文】 olunteers 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(xì)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(jìn)行闡述。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)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(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。9．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 appears in Prevention Science, researchers looked at more than 100 teachers and 1,817 students from kindergarten to third grade to see if teachers could support students39。 emotional and behavioral growth through the Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management (IYTCM) program. The program uses videos and training sessions, along with roleplaying and coaching, to help teachers learn management skills such as using behaviorspecific praise, building positive relationships with students, and considering how to reduce poor behavior. Teachers in the training group increased interactions with students by 64 percent pared with 53 percent for teachers in the control group without the training. Emotional regulation is the ability to recognize what behavior is appropriate in the present situation, says Wendy Reinke, professor in the College of Education at the University of Missouri. For example, a student might have difficulty controlling the feeling of anger if he or she bees annoyed with another student. But under this program, the teacher encourages them to move to a different spot in the classroom, effectively teaching them that sometimes stepping away and taking a break is a good way to calm down and manage8ha8feeling. After one school year of using the program in classrooms, students improved their social ability and ability to regulate their emotions. These improvements resulted in an increase in the tests for students in Incredible Years classrooms vs. students in control classrooms. And this classroom management approach can help reduce the risk for struggling learners early on, which could help prevent more accumulative support needs in a child39。s future.（1）What do the teachers do in the IYTCM program? A.Learn how to identify poor behavior.B.Offer the researchers advice on emotional control.C.Take care of kids from kindergarten to third grade.D.Apply different ways to learning how to manage kids.（2）What do Wendy Reinke39。s words suggest in Para. 4? A.Now it is hard for students to control their anger.B.A calm manner is an effective way to handle problems.C.Few can realize their behavior is unfit for a situation.D.The program will show how to handle troublesome kids.（3）What is the author39。s attitude towards the training program? A.Positive.B.Negative.C.Subjective.D.Indifferent.（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Study results of the program are entirely unexpected.B.The program advances the students39。 academic performance.C.Students in control classrooms can better control their emotions.D.Students change their bad behavior shortly through the program.【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一個新的教師培訓(xùn)項目，參與了該項目的老師在教學(xué)過程中能更有效的幫助孩子們控制他們的情緒。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的The program uses videos and training sessions, along with roleplaying and coaching, to help teachers learn management skills可知，該計劃使用視頻和培訓(xùn)課程，以及角色扮演和指導(dǎo)，幫助教師學(xué)習(xí)管理技能。所以老師們在IYTCM項目中運用不同的方法學(xué)習(xí)如何管理孩子。故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的the teacher encourages them to move to a different spot in the classroom, effectively teaching them that s
