Few wuld questin that arts, in its massive frms and media, are like a mirrr that reflects the scial, cultural, ecnmic r even plitical situatin f a sciety f a particular era. Hwever, beynd being simply an illustratin f the human cnditin, arts can be vital in pushing the cuntry frward culturally and ecnmically.
Withut dubt, arts are imprtant fr the prgress f sciety. They enable individuals t develp n the whle and deepen the scial ties in cmmunities by gathering peple t create, experience and enjy art tgether, which can be seen frm traditinal ethnic dances t interactive theatre perfrmanccs. Beynd material wants and needs, human beings find fulfilment in experiencing and expressing things f remarkable value thrugh arts. Meanwhile, strng citizens’ participatin in arts als strengthens the scial fabric f a natin.
Mrever, arts enable a natin t prgress in human rights and values. As pwerful media that are able t stir hearts and cause reflectin, arts can speak up the human vice f criticism sharply and clearly in times f crisis, and call upn sciety t seek the cmmn gd.

While knwledge and prfessinal skills may stimulate a cuntry’s develpment, the ability t innvate and think ut f the bx may be valuable t a sciety facing ever new and unpredictable challenges.
While the imprtance f arts may differ frm cuntry t cuntry, depending n its ecnmic circumstances and the sci-plitical issues, the imprtance f arts t the prgress f a natin shuld nt be verlked.

A quick increase f dpamine (多巴胺) shifts mice int a dreamy stage f sleep. In the mice’s brains, the chemical messenger triggers rapid-eye-mvement sleep, r REM, researchers reprt in the March 4 Science.
These new results are sme f the first t shw a trigger fr the shifts. Understanding these transitins in mre de tail culd ultimately pint t ways t treat sleep disrders in peple.
Certain nerve cells in the ventral tegmental area f the muse brain can pump ut dpamine, a mlecule that has been linked t pleasure, mvement and learning, which is then delivered dpamine t the amygdalae, tw almnd-shaped structures deep in the brain that are clsely tied t emtins.
Using a mlecular sensr that can tell exactly when and where dpamine is released, the researchers saw that dpamine levels rse in the amygdala e just befre mice shifted frm nn-REM sleep t REM sleep.
Next, the researchers frced the mice int the REM phase by cntrlling thse dpamine-prducing nerve cells using lasers and genetic techniques. Cmpelled with light, the nerve cells released dpamine in the amygdalae while mice were in nn-REM sleep. The mice then shifted int REM sleep sner than they typically did, after an average f abut tw minutes cmpared with abut eight minutes fr mice that weren’t prmpted t release dpamine. Stimulating these cells every half hur increased the mice’s ttal amunt f REM sleep.
Additinal experiments suggest that these dpamine-making nerve cells may als be invlved in aspects f narclepsy (嗜睡症). A sudden lss f muscle tne, called cataplexy, shares features with REM sleep and can accmpany narclepsy. Stimulating these dpamine-making nerve cells while mice were awake caused the mice t stp mving and fall directly int REM sleep.
The results help clarify a trigger fr REM in mice; whether a similar thing happens in peple isn’t knwn Earlier studies have fund that nerve cells in peple’s amygdala e are active during REM sleep.
Many questins remain. Drugs that change dpamine levels in peple dn’t seem t have big effects n REM sleep and cataplexy. But these drugs affect the whle brain, and it’s pssible that they are just nt selective enugh.
32. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. Peple with sleep disrders culd benefit frm the research.
B. Dpamine is generated in tw almnd-shaped structures.
C. Dpamine levels rse after mice shifted t REM sleep.
D. An increase f dpamine can trigger REM in peple.
33. The underlined wrd “they” in the last paragraph refers t ______.
A. the entire brain
B. REM sleep and cataplexy
C. drugs affecting dpamine levels
D. peple suffering frm sleep disrders
34. What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T intrduce tw stages f sleep f all animals.
B. T explain dpamine as a trigger fr REM in mice.
C. T present a new way t cure sleep disrders in peple.
D. T prpse a pineer research interest in brain structure.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
When trying t memrize new material, it’s easy t assume that the mre wrk yu put in, the better yu will perfrm. Yet taking the ccasinal rest time—t d nthing at all—may be exactly what yu need. Just dim (调暗) the lights, sit back, and enjy 10-15 minutes f quiet thinking, and yu’ll find that yur memry f the facts yu have just learnt is far better than if yu had attempted t use that mment mre prductively.
The remarkable memry-bsting benefits f undisturbed rest were first dcumented in1900 by the German psychlgist Gerg Elias Muller and his student Alfns Pilzecker. In ne f their many experiments n memry cnslidatin Muller and Pilzecker first asked their participants t learn a list f meaningless syllables. Fllwing a shrt study perid half the grup were immediately given a secnd list t learn—while the rest were given a six-minute break befre cntinuing.
When tested ne-and-a-half hurs later, the tw grups shwed strikingly different patterns f recall. The participants given the break remembered nearly 50% f their list, cmpared t an average f 28%fr the grup wh had been given n time t recharge their mental batteries. The finding suggested that ur memry fr new infrmatin is especially weak just after it has first been memrised, making it mre sensitive t interference frm new infrmatin.
Taking regular perids f rest, withut distractin, culd help us all hld nt new material a little mre firmly. After all, fr many students, the 10-30% imprvements recrded in sme studies culd mark the difference between A grade r B. “I can imagine yu culd include these 10-15-minute breaks within a revisin perid,” says Aidan Hrner at the University f Yrk, “and that might be a useful way f making small imprvements t yur ability t remember later n.”
In the age f infrmatin verlad, it’s wrth remembering that ur smartphnes aren’t the nly thing that needs a regular recharge, ur minds clearly d t.

41. What did Gerg and Alfns’ finding suggest?

42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.

A quick increase f dpamine (多巴胺) shifts mice int a dreamy stage f sleep. In the mice’s brains, the chemical messenger triggers rapid-eye-mvement sleep, r REM, researchers reprt in the March 4 Science.
These new results are sme f the first t shw a trigger fr the shifts. Understanding these transitins in mre de tail culd ultimately pint t ways t treat sleep disrders in peple.
Certain nerve cells in the ventral tegmental area f the muse brain can pump ut dpamine, a mlecule that has been linked t pleasure, mvement and learning, which is then delivered dpamine t the amygdalae, tw almnd-shaped structures deep in the brain that are clsely tied t emtins.
Using a mlecular sensr that can tell exactly when and where dpamine is released, the researchers saw that dpamine levels rse in the amygdala e just befre mice shifted frm nn-REM sleep t REM sleep.
Next, the researchers frced the mice int the REM phase by cntrlling thse dpamine-prducing nerve cells using lasers and genetic techniques. Cmpelled with light, the nerve cells released dpamine in the amygdalae while mice were in nn-REM sleep. The mice then shifted int REM sleep sner than they typically did, after an average f abut tw minutes cmpared with abut eight minutes fr mice that weren’t prmpted t release dpamine. Stimulating these cells every half hur increased the mice’s ttal amunt f REM sleep.
Additinal experiments suggest that these dpamine-making nerve cells may als be invlved in aspects f narclepsy (嗜睡症). A sudden lss f muscle tne, called cataplexy, shares features with REM sleep and can accmpany narclepsy. Stimulating these dpamine-making nerve cells while mice were awake caused the mice t stp mving and fall directly int REM sleep.
The results help clarify a trigger fr REM in mice; whether a similar thing happens in peple isn’t knwn. Earlier studies have fund that nerve cells in peple’s amygdala e are active during REM sleep.
Many questins remain. Drugs that change dpamine levels in peple dn’t seem t have big effects n REM sleep and cataplexy. But these drugs affect the whle brain, and it’s pssible that they are just nt selective enugh.
32. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. Peple with sleep disrders culd benefit frm the research.
B. Dpamine is generated in tw almnd-shaped structures.
C. Dpamine levels rse after mice shifted t REM sleep.
D An increase f dpamine can trigger REM in peple.
33. The underlined wrd “they” in the last paragraph refers t ______.
A. the entire brain
B. REM sleep and cataplexy

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
When trying t memrize new material it’s easy t assume that the mre wrk yu put in, the better yu will perfrm. Yet taking the ccasinal rest time—t d nthing at all—may be exactly what yu need. Just dim (调暗) the lights, sit back, and enjy 10-15 minutes f quiet thinking, and yu’ll find that yur memry f the facts yu have just learnt is far better than if yu had attempted t use that mment mre prductively.
The remarkable memry-bsting benefits f undisturbed rest were first dcumented in1900 by the German psychlgist Gerg Elias Muller and his student Alfns Pilzecker. In ne f their many experiments n memry cnslidatin, Muller and Pilzecker first asked their participants t learn a list f meaningless syllables. Fllwing a shrt study perid half the grup were immediately given a secnd list t learn—while the rest were given a six-minute break befre cntinuing.
When tested ne-and-a-half hurs later, the tw grups shwed strikingly different patterns f recall. The participants given the break remembered nearly 50% f their list, cmpared t an average f 28%fr the grup wh had been given n time t recharge their mental batteries. The finding suggested that ur memry fr new infrmatin is especially weak just after it has first been memrised, making it mre sensitive t interference frm new infrmatin.
Taking regular perids f rest, withut distractin, culd help us all hld nt new material a little mre firmly. After all, fr many students, the 10-30% imprvements recrded in sme studies culd mark the difference between A grade r B. “I can imagine yu culd include these 10-15-minute breaks within a revisin perid,” says Aidan Hrner at the University f Yrk, “and that might be a useful way f making small imprvements t yur ability t remember later n.”
In the age f infrmatin verlad, it’s wrth remembering that ur smartphnes aren’t the nly thing that needs a regular recharge, ur minds clearly d t.

【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“When trying t memrize new material, it’s easy t assume that the mre wrk yu put in, the better yu will perfrm. Yet taking the ccasinal rest time—t d nthing at all—may be exactly what yu need. Just dim (调暗) the lights, sit back, and enjy 10-15 minutes f quiet thinking, and yu’ll find that yur memry f the facts yu have just learnt is far better than if yu had attempted t use that mment mre prductively.(在尝试记忆新材料时，很容易认为你投入的越多，你的表现就越好。然而，偶尔休息一下——什么都不做——可能正是你所需要的。把灯调暗，坐下来，享受10-15分钟的安静思考，你会发现你对刚学到的知识的记忆比你试图利用这段时间更有效地记忆要好得多)”可知，在记忆新材料的同时提高记忆力的好方法是①偶尔休息一下，什么都不做（是在记忆新材料的同时提高记忆力的好方法）。②调暗灯光，坐下来，享受10-15分钟的安静思考（是在记忆新材料的同时提高记忆力的好方法）。或者把灯调暗，坐下来，享受10-15分钟的安静思考，你会发现你对刚刚学到的知识的记忆要好得多(比你试图更有效地利用这段时间要好得多)。故答案为① Taking the ccasinal rest time t d nthing at all (is a gd way t bst memry while memrizing new material) .②Dimming the lights, sitting back, and enjying 10-15 minutes f quiet thinking (is a gd way t bst memry while memrizing new material) .或者 Just dim the lights, sit back, and enjy 10-15 minutes f quiet thinking, and yu’ll find that yur memry f the facts yu have just learnt is far better (than if yu had attempted t use that mment mre prductively).
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“The finding suggested that ur memry fr new infrmatin is especially weak just after it has first been memrised, making it mre sensitive t interference frm new infrmatin.(这一发现表明，我们对新信息的记忆在刚被记住的时候特别弱，这使得它对新信息的干扰更加敏感)”可知，Gerg和Alfns的发现表明，我们对新信息的记忆在刚被记住的时候特别弱，这使得它对新信息的干扰更加敏感。故答案为The finding (或者Their finding) suggested that ur memry fr new infrmatin is especially weak just after it has first been memrized, making it mre sensitive t inter fence frm new infrmatin.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段““I can imagine yu culd include these 10-15-minute breaks within a revisin perid,” says Aidan Hrner at the University f Yrk, “and that might be a useful way f making small imprvements t yur ability t remember later n.”(约克大学的艾丹·霍纳说：“我可以想象，你可以在复习期间包括这些10-15分钟的休息时间，这可能是一种有用的方法，可以在以后的记忆能力上有所提高。”)”可知，错误的部分为“(while) taking exams”，艾丹·霍纳鼓励学生在复习期间休息10-15分钟。或者约克大学的艾丹·霍纳说：“我可以想象，你可以在复习期间包括这些10-15分钟的休息时间，这可能是一种有用的方法，可以让你以后的记忆能力得到小幅提高。”故答案为T enhance the memry ability, Aidan Hrner encurages students t have breaks (while) taking exams. Aidan Hrner encurages students t include 10-15-minute breaks within a revisin perid.或者“I can imagine yu culd include these 10-15-minute breaks within a revisin perid,” says Aidan Hrner at the University f Yrk, “and that might be a useful way f making small imprvements t yur ability t remember later n.”
【43题详解】
考查开放题。根据“除了提高记忆力，你还能做些什么来提高学习成绩呢？”可回答“记笔记和定期复习是提高学习成绩的有效方法。我每天都做笔记，我习惯在做作业和每次考试之前复习我学过的东西。我从这种学习方法中获益良多”。故答案为Taking ntes and reviewing regularly is a useful way t imprve my academic perfrmance. I take ntes n all subjects everyday and I'm used t reviewing what I have learnt befre ding my hmewrk and every examinatin. I have benefited a lt frm this learning methd.
