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。根據第二段中的“ the mind at night puts together bits of information in creative ways.
