But the truth is just the opposite: Your
9、 best chance to get to the bottom of a problem is actually to sleep on it. A team of researchers at Northwestern University, US, found that sleeping is useful in both strengthening and re-organizing memory. This can help you solve problems. The researchers did an experiment with 57 students. They as
10、ked them to solve 42 difficult puzzles on the first day. The students worked on each puzzle while listening to different music. The research encouraged students to remember the music they heard while solving the puzzles. By the end, there were six puzzles that the students still hadnt solved. The st
11、udents then went back home to sleep. They were given special sleep-monitoring（睡眠监测）and music devices (设备). The devices played music linked with the unsolved puzzles while the students were in the slow-wave sleep stage. This stage is when people are likely to dream and re-organize their memories. The
12、 next morning, the students tried the unsolved puzzles again. Researchers found they were 55 percent more likely to solve them. The music activated（激活）the memories they had of the puzzles while they were sleeping. It allowed them to “work” on the puzzles in their sleep. Earlier studies of both peopl
13、e and animals have shown that sleep cannot only strengthen memory, but also help us organize information in our brains. This study seems to support that understanding. So the next time you face a difficult problem, sleep on it. Then play some music to remind yourself of the problem. 1. What did the
14、research at Northwestern University find? A. Sleeping can help people solve problems. B. Listening to music can improve memory. C. Music can help people solve puzzles faster. D. People can solve difficult puzzles in their dreams. 2. What do we know about the experiment? A. Some students didnt listen
15、 to music while solving puzzles. B. Some kept working on the puzzles when others were sleeping. C. The students “worked” on the unsolved puzzles while sleeping. D. Many students found it difficult to remember the music they heard. 3. What do we learn from the last paragraph? A. This study supports e
16、arlier findings. B. The finding is of little practical value. C. This study should have had animals included. D. No research has been done in this field before. B One of the nicest things to do during the cold winter is to curl up （蜷缩） with a hot cup of tea. But for Britons, tea is a popular drink a
17、ll year round. Afternoon tea, high tea, builders tea (a strong cup of tea, usually with full-fat milk and two teaspoons of sugar), tea gowns (礼服), tea cakes, tea houses, tea breaks . they are all everyday names and phrases in the UK. Tea has, in fact, become part of the British way of life. And Brit
18、ons preferences for types of tea and how to drink it can really say a lot about them. British anthropologist（人类学家）Kate Fox writes in her book Watching the English that several clear messages are sent whenever a Briton makes a cup of tea. She observes that the strongest cups of black tea are usually
19、drunk by the working class. The tea gets weaker as one goes up the social ladder. Sugar means something, too. “Taking sugar in your tea is thought by many to be a sign of a lower-class person: even one makes people suspicious (可疑的); more than one and you are lower-middle at best; more than two and y
20、ou are definitely working class,” she writes. Other rules involve how milk and sugar are added, if any is added. For example, drinking smoky black Lapsang Souchong （正山小种） tea from China with no sugar or milk can be a sign of class worries in the middle class. Tea doesnt just show class, though; it c
21、an also be a social space filler. “Whenever the English feel awkward （尴尬的） or uncomfortable in a social situation (that is, almost all the time), they make tea,” Fox wrote in her book. 4. According to Kate Fox, _. A. adding milk to your tea can be a sign of class worries B. working-class people usua

23、rs class by their tea. C. Britons drink tea to show off their special tastes. D. A Britons way of drinking tea shows his or her individuality. 6.

24、C. a tool to judge Britons by D. a way to feel better in social situations 7. Whats the main idea of the article? A. British tea has many interesting functions. B. There are rules to obey when drinking British tea. C. The ways in which Britons drink their tea are very telling. D. Tea plays an import
25、ant part on social occasions in Britain. C In recent years, the number of foreign guests increased rapidly. More and more hotels have western-style food services. At the same time, more and more Chinese people have accustomed to the hobby of eating western-style food. When eating western-style food,
26、 you can talk with others freely and lightly. But, when you talk with others, dont chew the food in your mouth. Generally speaking, clean your lips with napkins before talking or drinking. When eating western-style food, you cannot hold the plate when eating; and you cannot stab the food while eatin
27、g a large piece of food. You should cut the food into small pieces and then put them into your mouth. When eating western-style food, the way of eating is similar to the way of eating Cantonese food. That is drink soup first and then eat the dishes. When drinking the soup, hold the spoon with right
28、hand, and the spoon should face the outer side to ladle out the soup, and then put it into the mouth. Dont make any sound while drinking the soup. When eating western-style food, the bones and thorns should not be put into the mouth when you meet the dishes which have them. The food which already ea
29、ten into the mouth cannot be spit out. So you should know the food you eat when eating western-style food. For the food which you are not so sure or the food which you dont like, then youd better not put them into your mouth. When eating western-style food, if you leave the table without finishing t
30、he dinner, you should put the knife and fork crossed beside the plate, let the edge of the knife faces inside. If you have finished your meal, you should put the knife and fork side by side to show that the plate can be removed. 8. The reason why more and more western-style food is served in hotels
31、might be that_. A. western-style food is less expensive B. western-style food looks fine C. an increasing number of foreigners come to China lately D. eating western-style food is so cool 9. When you want to talk or drink, youd better_first. A. say “excuse me” B. put up your hand C. stand up D. wipe
32、 your lips 10. When the soup and the dishes are served, you should_. A. eat the dishes first and then drink the soup B. drink the soup before eating the dishes C. eat the dishes while drinking the soup D. drink the soup and eat the dishes at the same time 11. Seeing the knife and fork crossed beside
33、 the plate, the waiter_. A. wont remove the plate B. will remove the plate C. will ask you if youve finished your meal D. doesnt know what to do D The human face is a remarkable piece of work. The astonishing variety of facial features helps people recognize each other and is important to the format
34、ion of complex societies. So is the faces ability to send emotional signals, whether through an unconscious reddening of face or a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives, in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom, reading faces, for signs of attraction, trust a
35、nd cheat. They also spend plenty of time trying to dissimulate. Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. In America, facial recognition is used by churches to track prayers attendance; in Britain, by shopkeepers to spot past thieves. This year Welsh police used it to a
36、rrest a suspect outside a football game. In China, it verifies the identities of ride-hailing (网约车) drivers, permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile. Apples new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the home screen. Compared with human skills, such applicat
37、ions might expand steadily in scale. Some breakthroughs, such as flight or the Internet, obviously transform human abilities; facial recognition seems merely to encode them. Although faces are peculiar to individuals, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight, intrude on something
38、 that is private. And yet the ability to record, store and analyse images of faces cheaply, quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about major changes to our understanding of privacy, fairness and trust. Start with privacy. One big difference between faces and other biometric (计量生物学的)
39、 data, such as fingerprints, is that they work at a distance. Anyone with a phone can take a picture for facial-recognition programs to use. FindFace, an app in Russia, compares snaps of strangers with pictures on VKontakte, a social network, and can identify people with a 70% accuracy rate. Even if
40、 private firms are unable to join the dots between images and identity, the state often can. Photographs of half of Americas adult population are stored in databases that can be used by the FBI. Law-enforcement agencies now have a powerful weapon in their ability to track criminals, but at enormous
41、potential cost to citizens privacy. 12. What does the underlined word “dissimulate” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Hide emotions from others. B. Make known to the public. C. Act in disregard of laws. D.

Finance and trade. D. Fairness and trust. 15. Whats the best title for the passage? A. Benefits resulting from facial bre
43、akthrough. B. Facial Recognition: nowhere to hide. C. The power of human faces. D. Technologies concerning facial recognition. 五、七选五五、七选五（每小题（每小题 2 分，共分，共 10 分）分） 根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余 选项。 How to Survive and Thrive Here are some tips to help you learn not only to survive, but to t
44、hrive (成长) and grow in a chaotic world.

45、sastrous. Did you fail a course? 2 Most of us cant avoid an occasional failure, but we can learn bounce-back attitudes through failures. 3 Cecilia, a shy twelve-year-old, became livelier when she won the lead in a school play. “We want you to improve your grades, but not spend time on plays!” said h
46、er worried mother. To everyones surprise, Cecilias grades improved. 4 Most importantly, no matter what happens, Cecilia can return to that feeling of success whenever she gets discouraged.
