If you put your history notes under your pillow and sleep on them the night before an exam, will you do any better in the exam?Most of us have hoped this might help. However, knowledge can't go through the pillow into your brain. But that doesn't mean you can't learn while you are asleep.
Scientists aren't exactly sure how it works, but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours.
In one experiment, researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn. Then, they divided them into three groups. The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep, without telling these German speakers what they were doing. The sound was low so it didn't wake them up, and only the newly introduced words were used.
Another group listened to the same words while they were awake. The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify and translate the words later. This was true only for the words that were played while they slept. The third group listened to words when they walked. The walkers didn't have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group.
The researchers later found that people had more slow-wave brain activity all over the night. They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words.
31.When did the researchers play foreign words for people in Group 1 in the experiment?
A.Before they went for a walk.
B.Before they went to bed.
C.When they were asleep.
D.When they were having dinner.
32.What does the underlined word“identify”mean in Chinese?
A.提高 B.辨认出 C.隐藏 D.逃避
33.The last two paragraphs tell us the experiment's .
A.result B.reason C.influence D.purpose
34.Which of the following is true?
A.Scientists think people can't learn during sleeping hours.
B.German speakers enjoy learning Dutch words.
C.Slow-wave brain activity can help people have a good sleep.
D.People in Group 3 didn't remember the words as well as those in Group 1.
35.Where is the passage most probably from?
A.A history textbook. B.A science magazine.
C.A travel newspaper. D.A modern novel.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,讲的是人在睡觉的时候大脑也可以继续学习。
31.C 根据第三段中的“The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep...”可知,研究人员在第一组人睡觉的时候给他们播放荷兰语单词,故答案为C。
32.B 画线的词是identify,结合上下文可推断,研究人员发现,第一组人能更好地辨认和翻译出那些单词,故答案为B。
33.A 通读后两段可知,它们讲的是实验的结果,故答案为A。
34.D 根据第四段中的“The third group listened to words when they walked. The walkers didn't have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group.”可知,选项D是正确的描述。

Homework is a problem for students all over the world. As a student, you have a lot of homework to do every day. It's a major part of a student's schoolday. It's the best way to review what you have learned in class. And it helps you understand important concepts(概念). Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less difficult.
Be sure you understand the homework
Write your homework down in your notebook if you need to. Don't be afraid of asking questions about it. It's much easier to ask the teacher during or after class than to try to remember later that night!
Use your time at school
Many schools have study halls. They are designed to allow students to study there. It's more interesting to play with your friends. But the more homework you finish at school, the less you'll have to do that night.
Take a break
It's difficult to hold your attention for too long. So take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you feel very tired. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.
Make a plan
If you don't finish your homework at school, think about how much you have left, so you can budget your time. Most students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it's a heavy homework day, you'll need to spend more time on it. It's a good idea to make a homework timetable, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities.
36.The first paragraph is mainly about .
A.why homework is hard to do
B.why students should do homework
C.how much homework students should do
D.when students should do homework

I am Miss Wang. Your English is poor because you don't speak English. English, like any other language, is a tool of communication—the more you speak it, the better your English will become. So you should try to speak it every day, as much as possible. And don't be shy or afraid of making a mistake. Your teacher and classmates are always ready to help you. The most important is that you must believe in yourself and never give up! Always remember: practice makes perfect!
[参考范文2]
I am Li Hua. I don't speak English because my English is poor. I find it hard to speak English. I am a little shy and afraid of making a mistake. I always feel nervous when I stand up speaking English in class. I'm afraid that my classmates may laugh at me when I speak English. To tell you the truth, I don't believe in myself. The less I speak, the worse my English is. When my English improves, I will enjoy speaking it.
