22、 Sleep Sleep is part of your daily activity cycle, but there are several different t ypes or stages of sleep and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleep er, your sleep cycle will go something like this: When you first drift off into sleep your eyes will roll about a bit, your tem perature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will slow and b***me quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too. This is called Stage 1 sleep. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through Stage 2 and Stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. Then, about 40-60 minutes after you lose consciousness, you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain waves will show the delta rhythm. This is S tage 4 sleep. You may think that you stay at this deep fourth stage all the rest of the nig ht, but that turns out not to be the case. Instead, about 80 minutes after you fal l into sleep your activity cycle will increase slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to move around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at somet hing occurring in front of you. This period of Rapid Eye Movements lasts for som e 8-15 minutes and is called REM sleep. During both light and deep sleep, the muscles in your body are relaxed but ca pable of movement. However, as you slip into REM sleep, a very odd thing occurs ? Most of the voluntary muscles in your body b***me paralyzed. Although your brai n shows very rapid bursts of neural activity during REM sleep, your body is inca pable of moving.

5An increase in the activity cycle indicates____.
23、 The Structure of the Brain When you refer to your brain, you should probably say ’brains’. Most modern s cientists studying the brain have concluded that there are three major parts of ou r brain, that each is separate from the others, and that each has its own functi on and different processes. Brain 1 includes the spinal cord, the medulla ? Which sites directly on the t op of the cord ? And the middle section of the brain. It includes the controls for involuntary functions like breathing and digestion. Brain 2 is an area surrounding brain 1. In this s***nd brain are the various glands located in the brain, such as the pituitary and amygdala. Scientists studyi ng brain 2 are convinced that human emotions such as excitement, fear, and love are centerd here, as well as the senses of taste and smell. Memory and learning are also controlled by brain 2. Brain 3 is the neocortex, the thick covering that surrounds the top and side portions of the brain. This is the ’gray matter’ we often think of when we speak of the brain. Only the higher orders of animals have brain 3, and none is as hig hly developed as the human neocortext. Brain 3 sends information from the other two brains to the body and receives data from the body. It is brain 3 that makes us fully human. Brian 3 allows us to stand erect, to see, to speak, to write, t o use symbols and tools, and to remember. Brain 3 also acts as a unifying contro l of the other two brains. As scientists continue to study the brain, they disco ver specific areas that control particular functions of the body and particular emotions.

答案解析: he functions of the three sections of the brain.

3Excitement, fear, and love are centered in____
参考答案: D
答案解析: we still have a lot to learn about the brain.
4We can conclude from the passage that____
参考答案: C
答案解析: research on the human brain is one of the most important types of research scientists are engaged in.
5That passage suggests that____
24、 Memory One day more than fifty years ago, a young man had an accident on his mo tor-bike in which he suffered a few apparently minor injuries. There was a bruise (肿) on the left side of his forehead and some slight bleeding from his left ear. He was taken to hospital for examination but X-rays did not reveal any other in juries. Nevertheless, the doctor who was treating him decided to keep him in ho spital for further observations because the young man was having difficulty in s peaking and seemed very confused. At the time of the accident, the young man was 22 years old, and the dat a was August, 1933. A week later, he was able to carry on what seemed a perfectly normal conversation. However, he told the doctor that he was only 11 years old and that the date was February, 1922. What is more, he could not remember anyth ing that had happened since 1922. For example, he could not recall having spent five years in Australia, or coming back to England and working for two years on a golf course. As time went by part of his memory of the eleven missing years come back . A few weeks later, he even remembered his years in Australia. But the two years of his life just before the accident were still a completely a blank. Three we eks after his injury, he went back to the village where he had been living for t hose two years. Everything seemed unfamiliar and he did not recall ever having b een there before. Despite this, he was able to take up his old job again in the village an d to do it satisfactorily. But he often got lost when walking around the village a nd found it difficult to remember what he had done during the day. Slowly, howev er, his memory continued to return so that, about ten weeks after the accident, he could even remember most of the previous two years. There remained only one complete gap in his memory: he could remember absolutely nothing about what he h ad done a few minutes immediately before the accident or the accident itself. Th is part of his memory never came back.
