21、 An afternoon nap could improve your cognitive abilities, study says. Taking an afternoon snooze (打盹) could keep your brain sharp, a new study has said. Adults aged 60 and older who took afternoon naps showed signs of better mental sharpness compared to those who didn’t nap, according to a study published in General Psychiatry earlier this week.
Researchers analyzed napping habits in 2,214 older Chinese people and measured their cognitive abilities using several cognitive tests. Participants took the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, both of which test for memory, language and other cognitive abilities. In every category listed in the study, nappers tested statistically higher on average compared to their non-napping counterparts.
Researchers did not gather data from people under 60, so a connection cannot be drawn between napping and younger generations. The study also noted that there are conflicting studies about the benefits and risks of napping.
Sleeping behaviors can be affected by a large number of factors. Daily routines, medication use and sleep disorders can all play a role in how frequently someone takes a nap.
Neubauer recommended taking a shorter “power nap” of up to 20 minutes to decrease the chances of changing into slow-wave sleep, which makes people feel very tired when they wake up. Napping can be a healthy part of an older adult’s day, but make sure sleepiness isn’t due to a treatable nighttime sleep disorder. Older individuals who want to do all they can to preserve their cognitive functioning should deal with nighttime sleep first.
【1】What do we know about the afternoon nap from paragraph 1?
A．An afternoon nap could refresh adults.
B．An afternoon nap could refresh people aged 60 and older.
C．An afternoon nap could improve people’s mental health.
D．An afternoon nap could help people get smarter than ever before.
【2】From the text, what can we learn about the researchers’ study?
A．They didn’t gather data from participants.
B．They analyzed 2,204 older participants’ napping habits.
C．They measured participants’ cognitive abilities by listing examples.
D．They did a test about memory and other cognitive abilities.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A．The benefits of the afternoon nap.
B．The data about the afternoon nap.
C．The study about the afternoon nap.
D．The benefits and risks of the afternoon nap.
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A．Culture ＆ Education.

C．Food ＆ Nutrition.
D．Military ＆ Science.
22、 Biology researcher Sayaka Mitoh loves studying Japanese sea slugs. Her research at Nara Women’s University sounds like something from out of scary movies. While studying these small, cute creatures in the lab one day, she saw something strange. A sea slug had cut off its own head but kept on living and moving. Then a couple more sea slugs did the same!
So, Mitoh and another researcher Yoichi Yusa tried it themselves. They cut off the heads of 16 sea slugs. Six of the creatures started regeneration. Three of them survived. One of the three even lost and regrew its body twice. And two different kinds of Japanese sea slugs went through the regeneration process.
Other creatures can lose body parts when needed. For example, some lizards drop their tails to get away from danger and regrow them later. This is a biological event called autotomy (自切).
“We think that this is the most extreme case of autotomy,” Yusa said. He added that some animals can autotomize their legs or tails but no other can drop their whole body.
One kind of sea slug can grow to 15 centimeters long. Scientists had long thought that a creature of that size could not survive without a heart to pump blood and nutrients to the brain.
When these sea slugs eat a certain type of algae (藻类), Yusa said, they can photosynthesize (光合作用) their food from sunlight and oxygen, just like a plant, for about 10 days. He guessed that after autotomy, the head sort of acts like a plant. It turns green and gets its energy from oxygen and sunlight. Mitoh and Yusa said that sea slugs probably developed this ability as a way of fighting off parasites (寄生虫).
Nicholas Curtis is a biology professor at Ave Maria University. What is especially interesting, he said, is that these sea slugs are more complex than other creatures that are known to regenerate. This discovery could help scientists better understand how to regenerate, or regrow, human tissue in the future.
【1】What did Sayaka Mitoh find when studying Japanese sea slugs?
A．They mainly fed on plants.
B．They often fought against each other.
C．They could regrow their bodies.
D．They looked like creatures in a certain movie.
【2】How did the author develop the second paragraph?
A．By presenting figures.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By following time order.
D．By describing the process.
【3】Why can Japanese sea slugs survive after autotomy according to Yusa?
A．Their body size is extremely small.
B．Their brain doesn’t need nutrients to grow.
C．They mainly feed on a certain type of algae.
D．They can make food from sunlight and oxygen.
【4】What is Nicholas Curtis’s attitude towards the findings?
A．Uncaring.
B．Disapproving.
C．Positive.
D．Doubtful.
23、Death rates for heart disease in Britain have dropped by more than 40 percent in a decade，UK scientists will report today．
Wide uptake of cholesterol—busting statin drugs(降胆固醇药)，healthier lifestyles and better medical practices have seen a huge reduction in deaths caused by heart attacks，stroke and other cardiovascular(心血管的) problems．
However，heart disease remains Britain’s biggest killer．
The new study，by experts at Oxford University，shows there has been a 44.4 percent drop in death rates among men in the UK and a 43.6 percent drop among women linked to heart problems in the ten years to 2011．
The team compared death rate associated with cardiovascular disease across Europe．They found that Britain has one of the best records in Europe，with 342 deaths as a result of heart disease per 100，000 men in 2011，and 232 per 100，000 women．
Some nations---including Ukraine，Macedonia and Moldova—see more than 1,000 heart deaths per 100，000 of the population．
Overall，heart disease causes 45 percent of all deaths across Europe，but only 27 percent in the UK．The study，led by Dr Nick Townsend，showed that cardiovascular disease is mainly a disease of old age．
But researchers said that across Europe it still causes more than 1.4 million deaths in those aged under 75 and nearly 700，000 deaths in under 65s．Dr Townsend said：“Cardiovascular disease results in 49 percent of deaths among women and 41 per cent among men．”
【1】From the text we can know_____．
A．heart disease no longer threatens the British
B．the heart death rate among British men is lower than among women
C．the old mainly dies of stroke in Europe
D．the heart death rate in Ukraine is higher than in Britain
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Stroke． B．Cardiovascular disease．
C．Lung disease． D．Heart attacks．
【3】How does the author support his idea?
A．By analyzing data．
B．By following processes．
C．By describing his own experiences．
D．By discussing research experiments．
【4】Where is the text most likely to have been taken from?
A. A speech B. A story
C. A scientific study D. A personal diary
24、 Why don’t quiet carriages work, and how might they be make to? Quiet carriages on trains are a nice idea: travelers voluntarily make their phones silent, turn stereos off and keep chatter to a minimum. However, in reality, there is usually at least one silly babbler(喋喋不休的人) to break the silence.
A couple of problems prevent peaceful trips. First, there is a sorting problem: some passengers end up in the quiet carriage by accident and are not aware of the rules. Second, there is a commitment problem: noise is sometimes made by travelers who choose the quiet carriage but find an important call hard to ignore.
The train operators are trying to find answers. Trains in Queensland Australia, are having permanent signs added to show exactly what is expected; a British operator has invested in some technology to prevent phone calls.
Microeconomics suggests another approach. Fining people for making a noise would surely dissuade(劝阻) the polluter and is a neat solution in theory, but it requires costly monitoring and enforcement. Another way would be to use prices to separate quiet and noisy passengers－in effect, creating a market for silence. A simple idea would be to sell access to the quiet carriage as an optional extra when the ticket is bought. Making the quiet coach both an active choice and a costly one would dissuade many of those who don’t value a peaceful ride.
Charging may also solve the commitment problem. This is particularly tricky, as attitudes to noise can change during the journey. Some passengers would pay the quiet premium but still chatter away when some vital news arrives. Schemes that reward the silent－a rating system among fellow passengers, for example－could help. The idea is that losing your hard-won reputation offsets the short-term gain from using the phone. But such a system also fails the simplicity test.
A 2010 book by George Akerlof and Rachel Kranton argues that “norms”－feelings about how everyone should behave－also play a role in decision-making. Charging a price, even if just a token amount, means the quiet carriage becomes a service that fellow passengers have bought, not just a preference they have expressed. Perhaps different norms would come into play, encouraging calm. If not, a personal bubble is always an option: noise-canceling headphones start at around $50.
【1】According to the passage, what does microeconomics suggest?
A. Finding the source of noise.
B. Putting a price on noise.
C. Avoid using a phone in the carriage.
D. Investing more money in monitoring and enforcement.
【2】By “a personal bubble is always an option,” the author means ________.
A. one can make his own choice B. one should respect others’ privacy
C. one can create his own personal space D. one should stick to his personal budget
【3】This passage is mainly about ________.
