【正文】 及“The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety…”研究中還問了與抑郁及焦慮有關(guān)的問題……等可知，第二段主要介紹了新研究的調(diào)查內(nèi)容，故選D。根據(jù)常識可知，在大自然中散步對人體有各種各樣的好處，再結(jié)合句中出現(xiàn)的“relieving other mood disorders(緩解其他情緒紊亂)”不難推斷出， batting depression應(yīng)表示“減輕抑郁”。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。故選B?？v觀全文可知，本文介紹了一項(xiàng)科學(xué)研究的研究成果，所以該文章最有可能出現(xiàn)在“技術(shù)與科學(xué)”版塊。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和段落大意四個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，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。 Scientists found that sleeping considerably improves our creativity. After taking a nap people are able to think faster and put more imagination into their thinking. Besides, if we dream, the thinking abilities are improved even more. In the study, led by Professor Sara Mednick, scientists made a conclusion that the REM was important for assimilating(消化) new information into past experience in order to find solutions to creative problems. When given the same tasks, participants, who took a nap, were able to give more varied solutions, some of which were much better than they gave earlier. But when given new tasks, researchers found that those who entered REM sleep had a 40 percent better result pared to the performance they showed in the morning.（1）What does it refer to in the second paragraph?A.REM.C.A problem.（2）Why do the researchers study the REM?A.Because REM can store more information.C.Because REM can make a creative invention.（3）What can we know from this passage?A.Sleeping has three processes which is good for creativity.C.REM is a process taking place right after we awake when we nap.（4）The important stage in the study is________.A.to show a group of 3 wordsC.D.( 1 )詞義猜測題。( 2 )細(xì)節(jié)理解題。( 3 )細(xì)節(jié)理解題。故選A。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段It is worth mentioning that while some people slept, researchers used brain scans to see the type of sleep each participant ，研究很重要的一個階段就是要讓參加者睡一會，然后來掃描他們大腦看看他們進(jìn)入的睡眠階段。5．閱讀理解s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading prehension.s an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young people39。s for that matter, in this age of puter keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word.s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and clearly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的字跡) of young people who39。s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. And don39。 Then how to improve the handwriting? Well, with a few simple steps you can improve your hand writing. Evaluate your writing. Make changes to your letters till you like how they look. Practice. Practice it a lot。s not enough to do it once and hope for the best. It has to be something you work at to make great improvements.（1）The underlined word “scribble” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A.type simply and correctlyC.D.can pass the SATB.can impress their classmatescan get more job opportunities（3）Which of the following should you avoid when improving your handwriting?A.Writing as fast as you can.C.Changing your letters till you like how they look.（4）The text is to present the fact that ________.A.those who will go to college have to take the SATC.kids don39。( 1 )詞義猜測題。( 2 )細(xì)節(jié)理解題。s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential ，漂亮的書法不僅僅能在考試中幫助得分，還可以在今后找工作中給雇主留下美好的印象，故選D。根據(jù)最后三段的標(biāo)題Evaluate your writing；Take your time；Practice. Practice it a lot可知，沒有提到B項(xiàng)，這是寫作中應(yīng)該避免的。( 4 )推理判斷題。6．閱讀理解 As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.s. Then the team switched from reallife objects to Tshirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the Oshirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a twodimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.ve been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes outthink and outfeel other animals. They39。 Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, I started to wonder: Will the new science of food animals bring an ethical (倫理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?interactionanalysiscreationabstraction（2）The research into pigs shows that pigs___________. A.have a good eyesightC.can apply knowledge to new situations（3）Paragraph 4 is mainly about________. A.the necessity of longterm studies on mammalsC.s attitudes towards animalsD.The Inner Lives of Food AnimalsThe Lifestyles of Food AnimalsC.A Revolution in Food Animals【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）C（4）A 【解析】【分析】這是一篇議論文。人類不應(yīng)只將它們當(dāng)作食物。由第二段中的“When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one”可知，當(dāng)解決問題時，母雞們會推理：例如，受過挑選彩色紐扣的訓(xùn)練的母雞們有時會選擇放棄即時的食物獎勵，換取稍晚一些(而且更好)的食物獎勵。故B選項(xiàng)正確。由第三段中的“Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored th
