21．（6分）Learning New Vocabulary during Deep Sleep
Sleeping time is sometimes considered unproductive time. This raises the question whether the time spent asleep could be used more productively, e.g. for learning a new language? Up-to-now sleep research focused on the stabilization and strengthening of memories that had been formed during wakefulness. However, learning during sleep has rarely been examined. There is enough evidence for wake-learned information undergoing a revision by replay in the sleeping brain. The replay during sleep strengthens the still weak memory and leaves the newly acquired information in the pre-existing store of knowledge.
If re-play during sleep improves the storage of wake-learned information, then first-play, i.e. the initial processing of new information, should also be possible during sleep.
The research group of Katharina Henke examined whether a sleeping person is able to form new semantic（语义的）associations between played foreign words and translation words during the brain cells’ active states, the so-called “Up-states.” It turned out to be that what they thought was reasonable. When we reach deep sleep stages, our brain cells progressively coordinate their activity. During deep sleep, the brain cells are commonly active for a brief period of time before they jointly enter into a state of brief inactivity. The active state is called “Up-state” and the inactive state “Down-state”. The two states alternate（交替）about every half-second.
New evidence for sleep-learning challenges current theories of sleep and theories of memory. The concept of sleep that we are separated from the physical environment is no longer reasonable. "It’s false that complex learning be impossible during deep sleep," says Simon Ruch, co-first-author. "In how far and with what consequences deep sleep can be applied for the acquisition of new information will be a topic of research in upcoming years," says Katharina Henke.
The research group of Katharina Henke is part of the Interfaculty Research Cooperation (IRC). Thirteen research groups in medicine, biology and psychology are part of the IRC．The aim of these research groups is to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms（原理）involved in sleep and consciousness.
1、Which of the followings haven’t sleep researchers achieved so far?
A．People can learn vocabulary during deep sleep.
B．Memories can be stable and strong during sleep.
C．Wake-learned information can appear in the sleeping brain.
D．Replay during sleep improves the storage of wake-learned information.
2、What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A．“Up-state” and “Down-state” appear in turn during deep sleep.
B．“Up-states” is another name for the brain cells’ active states.
C．Semantic associations are important for language learning.
D．The brain cells’ active states are central for sleep-learning.
3、What will researchers do within several years according to the passage?
A．Make study in the following fields such as medicine and biology.
B．Separate us from the physical environment.
C．Apply deep sleep for information learning.
D．Discover the concept of sleep.
4、What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To introduce a new way of vocabulary learning.
B．To gain a better understanding of the mechanisms.
C．To challenge current theories of sleep and theories of memory.
D．To explain the possibility of vocabulary learning during deep sleep.
22．（8分）I spent most my twenties working for the National Park Service, and I lived a wide variety of government housing, including several shabby but appealing old houses where the wild creatures outnumbered humans. Sometimes I wondered, lying awake at night, how many hearts beat inside those walls. With all that lovely national park habitat protected for their use, why did the animals need to live in my house?
My latest essay “The indoor wilds at outdoor parks,” revisits my experiences with wild (non-human!) roommates and officemates in Rocky Mountain National Park. At first, they were considered annoying but not dangerous. Attitudes changed dramatically when hantavirus (汉他病毒) came on the scene, and suddenly those cute, non-housebroken deer mice became a threat. When I moved on to Canyonlands National Park, I found that every effort had been made to seal off my house from four-footed intruders. These efforts mostly worked and later employees moved into new housing. But somehow a rat still managed to chew its way through the floor and drown itself in my toilet. I’m not even going to get started about my coworkers, experiences with other much scarier animals.
The Beaver Meadows Vistor Center in the story was designed by Tailiesin Associated Architects, Frank Lloyed Wright’s firm, after Wright’s death. Working there, I always thought the building was strange. I recently revisited the building while researching a children’s book I am writing about the park. I think I get it now, at least a little.
1、What does the underlined word “their” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Some park visitors’. B．Endangered animals’.
C．The author’s coworkers’. D．The author’s wild roommates’.
2、Why did people show a change in attitude towards deer mice?
A．Because a virus was spreading. B．Because people were hurt by them.
C．Because people saw a really cute one. D．Because they protected people’s houses.
3、What can we infer about the living conditions of the author’s coworkers?
A．They were unknown to the author. B．They were acceptable to the author
C．They were no better than the author’s. D．They were much better than the author’s.
4、After visiting the Beaver Meadows Vistor Center again, the author ________.
A．could appreciate it better B．finished a children’s book
C．did research on national parks D．knew it was designed by Wright
23．（8分）At the age of twenty-two,I was employed by one of the largest commercial companies in the world,so my work mainly focused on advertising,working on production teams for hundreds of television commercials.I was fortunate to experience such an amazing career at such a young age,working all over the country with some of the most creative people in the world.I had it all.
And then one day a sudden thought came through me like a lightning bolt.“This is an industry that uses anorexic（厌食的）models to sell diet food to teenage girls.”My life changed.
And I quit.
A twelve-year career.
Right then.
That night I went home and was weak in my knees.I did not want to be part of the members making this problem;I wanted to be part of the people who had solution.But I had no idea what the solution looked like.My grandfather used to say,"Start with what you know,and more will be revealed."
I knew the film,television and advertising industries and almost everything about them.
So I started going into junior high schools.I held up pictures of the models to show what they looked like at five o'clock in the morning,and then held up another picture showing what they looked like after three hours of professional make-up,thirty-five lighting technicians,and professional photographers who can make anyone look beautiful and sexy...Not to mention the efforts of post-production,where they airbrush nearly all of the imperfection parts right out of the picture.With digital technology,they can even stretch the models to make them appear taller and thinner.
I talked to young girls and said,"This is a multi-billion dollar industry that spends millions of dollars a year proving to you that there is something wrong with you so that they can sell you something to fix it.So I am here to tell you that your teeth are white enough...And your breath is fresh enough...and your thighs are thin enough.You are enough."
You are enough,no matter what others say and what happens.

B．He realized his work was misleading teenage girls.
C．He found it hard to work with the team.

2、The author showed two sets of pictures of models to young girls to .
A．show the magic power of make-up skills
B．stress the great efforts models made in their work
C．advocate developing digital technology
D．expose the real truth behind the amazing beauty of models
3、What message does the writer mainly want to pass to teenage girls?
A．You might as well change your life when an opportunity arises.
B．You can't be too cautious when facing life choices.
C．It is who you are rather than what you look like that counts.
D．It is worthwhile to experience something interesting and creative.
