New rearch from the University of California, Berkeley, shows that an hour's nap can considerably improve and restore your brain power. Indeed, the findings suggest that a nap not only refreshes the mind, but can make you smarter."Sleep not only rights the wrong of extended wakefulness but it moves you beyond where you were before you took a nap." said Matthew Walker, an assistant professor of psychology at UC Berkeley and the lead investigator of UC Berkeley sleep studies.The latest study suggests that the brain may need sleep to process short-term memories, creating "space" for new facts to be learned. In their experiment, 39 healthy adults were given a hard learning task in the morning~~with broadly similar results, before half of them were nt for their nap. When the tests were repeated, the nappers improved their scores by 10 percent on average after sleeping; the scores of tho who didn't nap actually dropped by 10 percent.The results support previous data from the same rearch team that staying up all night―a common practice at college during midterms and finals―decreas the ability to memorize new facts by nearly 40 percent, due to a shutdown of brain regions for lack of sleep, said Walker."Sleep is needed to clear the brain's short-term memory storage and make room for new information." said Walker. "It's as though the e-mail inbox in your brain is full and, until you sleep and clear out tho e-mails, you're not going to receive any more mail."However, Professor Derk Jan Dijk, the director of the Surrey Sleep Rearch Centre, said that there was no clear evidence that daytime napping offered a distinct advantage over sleeping soundly just once over 24 hours."The sleep-wake cycle is not as fixed as we might think―we have the capability to sleep in different ways, "said Professor Derk Jan Djjk."The size of the effects is much more difficult to judge―if I have to learn something, for example, it's easier to do this when I'm feeling awake and ready than when I'm sleepy." he added.56.According to UC Berkeley's new findings, the benefit of a nap is that   .A.it helps to fix a napper's sleep-wake cycleB.it makes hard learning tasks not difficult any moreC.it allows the brain to make room for new learningD.it gives nappers chances to clear out their memory storage57.Matthew Walker's study shows that___________.A.learning ability in the morning is usually higher than that in the afternoonB.extra working hours before an exam can make up for the lack of daily effortsC.the size of the effects of napping depends on when it is takenD.staying up late before an exam does not necessarily improve students' exam performance58.The two rearch teams mentioned in the text may both agree that_____________  .A.people's sleep-wake cycle decides the length of midday napB.sufficient sleep betters people's learning performanceC.scientific experiments are undependable as the results are often hard to judgeD.the differences in their findings result from different methods applied59.What can we learn from this passage?A.Rolling your eyes can stop you from napping.B.Some people might move themlves when sleeping.C.College students tend to study late into night before important exams.D.Sleeping once over 24 hours is much better than daytime napping. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
