1.Naps-short sleeps during the day-may improve memory,experts said recently.
New research conducted by brain researcher Avi Karni of the University of Haifa in Israel explores the possibility that naps help lock in sometimes long-term memories."We still don't know exactly how memory system works during sleep,but the results of this research suggest it is possible to speed up memory consolidation(鞏固),"Karni said.Long-term memory refers  to memories that stay with us for years,such as"what"memories--a car accident that happened yesterday--or"how to"memories,such as one's learned ability to play the pianos.
Karni,also one of the authors of the study published in a recent issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience,instructed participants to learn a difficult set of finger games,then divided the study subjects into two groups:one that napped for an hour,and one that didn't.The people who took an afternoon snooze showed obvious improvement in their performance by that evening.
"After a night's sleep the two groups were at the same level,but the group that slept in the afternoon improved much faster than the group that stayed awake,"Karni said.And the study also showed just how much faster a 90-minute nap could help lock in long-term memories."Daytime sleep can shorten the time‘how to'memory weakens and forgetting starts,"Karni said,"Instead of 6 to 8 hours,the brain consolidated the memory during the 90-minute nap."
64.We can learn from the article thatC.
A.the new research has discovered the memory process during the sleep
B.taking a nap helps improve both long-term and short-term memories
C.Karni's findings are based on comparisons between two groups of participants
D.people who take a nap will never forget"how to"skills once they are learned
65.The underlined word"subjects"in paragraph 3 probably meanA.
A.the people being tested in the study
B.the people carrying out the study
C.the topics being discussed in the study
D.the areas of knowledge being studied
66.The text is most probably taken fromD
A.a(chǎn) newspaper report     B.a(chǎn) library guide
C.a(chǎn) project handbook     D.a(chǎn) science site.

18.Doctors at a Boston hospital last week performed the first full face transplant in the US,attaching a donor face to a 25-year-old man whose face was severely burned when his head touched a high-voltage(高壓的) line three years ago.
A team of more than 30surgeons and nurses worked for about 15hours to transplant the forehead,nose,lips,facial skin,underlying muscles and the nerves that power them and provide sensation(知覺) from a donor to Wiens,whose head came in contact with a high-voltage line on Nov.13,2008.
Bohdan Pomahac,the surgeon,said the team was not able to bring back Wiens's eyesight.But Wiens should be able to regain up to 90percent of normal sensation on the right side of his forehead,right cheek,most of his upper lip and his entire lower lip.Nerve damage was too great for there to be more than tiny sensation in the left check and left forehead,Pomahac said.
Doctors say the goal of the operation was to improve Wiens's ability to breathe,eat and talk and restore his face's social expression.
When Wiens recovers,he will not look like he once did,nor will he look like the donor,but"probably somewhere in the middle,"Pomahac said.The match between the donor and the recipient (接受者) was made based on race,similar age and blood type,etc.
Pomahac said he was worried the operation would not be successful when he first saw Wiens.His injuries were covering so large that doctors weren't sure there were enough remaining nerves or structures to connect to a new face.
Pomahac said he was determined to try his best because of what a patient with similar injuries had told him some years ago.That patient had numerous surgeries(外科手術),with only modest results.When Pomahac asked why the patient sought repeated surgery,he told the doctor,"I just want a taxi to stop when I'm waiting for one."

56.The first paragraph serves as aC.
A.conclusion       B.comment        C.lead-in        D.background
57.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A
A.Wiens's nerve damage was too great in the left check.
B.The left side of Wiens's cheek should be able to regain.
C.The donor's head touched a high-voltage line 3years ago.
D.Pomahac was sure that the surgery would succeed at first.
58.We can learn from the passage when Wiens recovers,he will look likeD.
A.what he used to be      B.the donor
C.Bohdan Pomahac          D.the donor in some way
59.We can infer from the last paragraph that Pomahac's former patientB.
A.experienced many surgeries with good effect
B.suffered a lot because of his ugly-looking face
C.wanted a taxi to stop when he was waiting for one
D.had a strong determination to bring back his eyesight.

19.I walked to Mrs.Windsor's house and waited outside.She was working with another student,and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell.I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I'd rather be doing.I had been tutored enough to read,understand,and even write some musical compositions,but I just didn't have a gift for it.Mrs.Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free,so I felt my duty to try.
The door opened and Wendy Barton came out.I walked in,sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music.Today Mrs.Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me.With a smile,Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench,opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play.I arranged my fingers on the keys.Then I frowned(皺眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements.I had to admit I was a rather mechanical (呆板的)pianist.
After about a page or two,Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers.There was a long pause."What are you hearing in the music?"I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn't know what she meant."Like a story.Here,let me try and you listen,"Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath,letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys.Then,she began to play."See,it begins here beside some kind of river.Hear the water flowing beside you?"
Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys."Now the princess appears and she's picking flowers from the
water's edge."A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha's dancing fingers."Oh,but she slips!"The music changed."And our princess is being carried off by the fast-flowing stream.Quickly,the princess'horse sees her plight (困境) and races to the river's edge where he swims out to let her catch hold of him.Luckily,they make it to the bank."Pasha said.
I played many pieces of music that afternoon,finding the stories in the music and learning that sometimes it takes a friend to pull you out of the river onto dry land again.

1.By describing herself as a mechanical pianist,the author meantB.
A.she could remember the notes in a short time
B.she was playing the piano without emotion
C.her fingers couldn't move freely
D.it had been a long time since she played last time
2.Which of the following can best describe Pasha?A
A.Creative.
B.Honest.      
C.Humorous.
D.Brave.
3.Pasha's magic of playing the piano lies in that sheD.
A.imagined herself as a princess           
 B.knew its original background story
C.had a strong desire to make a friend        
D.combined the music with a story
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?C
A.A Friend Forever

13.It's not that hard to be a better writer.Seriously,it's especially true if you're starting as a non-writer who's just trying to be competent for day-to-day tasks.
1.Have a Structure. (71)DYour body should consist of paragraphs that are grouped according,to topic,each one dealing with a single element of your subject.
2. (72)AWhen you say a car runs"fast",don't leave it at that.Show me how fast it is by; detailing the vehicle's top speed and acceleration,along with listing other cars it leaves in the dust.Do the same with every other significant modifier(修飾語) you use.
3.Don't pad words. (73)CMost of the time,this ends up turning what's essentially nice; writing into unreadable nonsense.You'11see this with heavy use of unnecessary adjectives and adverbs,along with useless phrases that can easily be cut off without losing meaning.
4.Choose good words.Sometimes,the way your text reads comes down to word choice.Don't say"converse"when you can say"speak"; don't write"adjudicate"when you say"decide". (74)E
5.Use a writing software.Notice that we didn't give any advice on grammar.That's because using a quality proofreading software can help you on that end. (75)G

A.Try not to use adjectives and adverbs without providing an explanation.
B.Don't let anything keep you from it!
C.Many inexperienced writers tend to pad words to meet word count goals.
D.Regardless of what you do,your writing should have an introduction and a conclusion.
E.Basically,put your words to good use and find words that will make the experience easier for your readers.
F.Some ideas can be quite correct.
G.Sure,a few mistakes might slip in now and then,but a good tool will take care of most of them.
