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 may 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 __________ and translate the words later. This was true only for the words that were played while they slept. The third group listened to the 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.提升 B.辨认出 C.隐藏 D.逃避

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:[语篇解析] 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 细节理解题。依据第三段中的“The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep…”可知,研究职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 词义猜测题。画线的词是identify,结合上下文可判断,研究职员发现,第一组人能更好地辨认和翻译出那些单词,故答案为B。

My Chinese Learning
__________ As native speakers, it's our duty to learn Chinese well. It helps us to understand Chinese culture better.
Chinese was one of the subjects when I was in a primary school. At first, I was weak in it, and I felt stressed out. My Chinese teacher advised me to read more books. From then on, reading played an important role in my life. I often went to the library which was near my home. I made much more progress in Chinese.
I think reading books is a useful way of learning Chinese well. Also, it's necessary to practice writing as often as we can. Only in this way can we become a good Chinese learner.
