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(jī)會(huì)停下來(lái)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(huì)帶來(lái)創(chuàng)新。故選B。 （3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。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(duì)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(shí)候開(kāi)始活躍起來(lái)。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(lái)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(shí)驗(yàn)證明圍繞該主題進(jìn)行闡述。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)，推理判斷和主旨大意四個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇健康類(lèi)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．閱讀理解 Unlike most Chinese high school students, seniors in Canada can choose the courses they would like to take by themselves. However sometimes they cannot take the course they want to take due to different reasons like schedule conflicts. Take me for example. At the end of last semester(學(xué)期), my adviser told me the two classes I had chosen for this semester took place during the same period, which meant that I had to give up one of them. She remended that I take the course called life management. I had never heard of that kind of course in China so I just followed her advice. On the first day of school, I found out that life management is an open class and every student is able to take the course. The teacher of the class told us honestly that this is an easy course that can increase our average score. It was really different from what I had expected. So I planned to drop the class. Then came the question: Could I change the class? In fact, students are able to change classes within the first month of the semester. During that month, there39。s often a long queue at the office door and a lot of students want to switch courses. After the first week, I looked through courses that were available for me. I had two choices: biology and chemistry. Chemistry is for college students who would like a collection of degrees in one specific area after high school. After having discussions and making choices, I switched my class from life management to grade 11 universitylevel biology. Although biology is quite difficult for me because of the many difficult words I have to use and understand, I will still try my best. To be honest, quite a lot of students want to change classes because they want easier courses. But I think challenging myself is always the best choice. I would rather get a lower mark in a course I can really learn from than get high scores in an easy open class.（1）According to the text, if one takes life management, he can . A.learn much he is interested inB.plan his life wellC.bee quite different from othersD.get high marks（2）We know from the passage that within the first month of the semester . A.many students switch coursesB.few students follow the adviserC.teachers choose students who they think have talentsD.teachers refuse the students hating their courses（3）Why did the writer finally choose biology? A.Because it was easy for him to get a high score.B.Because he wanted to do as other students did.C.Because he wanted to challenge himself.D.Because his teacher advised him to.（4）What is the best title for the text? A.Studying hard abroadB.Choosing can be toughC.Courses in Canadian schools are difficultD.Courses in China high schools are easier【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文作者以自己的經(jīng)歷為例，講述加拿大學(xué)生對(duì)課程的選擇，并指出選課可能很難。 （1）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中On the first day of school, I found out that life management is an open class and every student is able to take the course. The teacher of the class told us honestly that this is an easy course that can increase our average score.(開(kāi)學(xué)的第一天，我發(fā)現(xiàn)生活管理是一門(mén)公開(kāi)課，每個(gè)學(xué)生都能上這門(mén)課。老師很誠(chéng)實(shí)地告訴我們，這是一門(mén)容易的課程，可以提高我們的平均分。)可知，如果一個(gè)人上life management，他能得到高分?jǐn)?shù)。故選D。 （2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段In fact, students are able to change classes within the first month of the semester. During that month, there39。s often a long queue at the office door and a lot of students want to switch courses.(事實(shí)上，學(xué)生可以在學(xué)期的第一個(gè)月內(nèi)換班。在那個(gè)月里，辦公室門(mén)口經(jīng)常排著長(zhǎng)隊(duì)，很多學(xué)生都想轉(zhuǎn)專(zhuān)業(yè)。)可知，在學(xué)期的第一個(gè)月內(nèi)，許多學(xué)生換了課程。故選A。（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中I think challenging myself is always the best choice.(我認(rèn)為挑戰(zhàn)自我總是最好的選擇。)可知，作者最后選擇生物是為了挑戰(zhàn)自己。故選C。 （4）主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段Unlike most Chinese high school students, seniors in Canada can choose the courses they would like to take by themselves. However sometimes they cannot take the course they want to take due to different reasons like schedule conflicts.（與大多數(shù)中國(guó)高
