Not only do babies get to doze their days away, but theyve also mastered the fine art of learning in their sleep.By
8、the time babies are a year old, they can recognize a lot of sounds and even simple words. Marie Cheour at the University of Turku in Finland suspected that they might progress this fast because they learn language while they sleep as well as when they are awake.To test the theory, Cheour and her col
9、leagues studied 45 newborn babies in the first few days of their lives. They exposed all the infants to an hour of Finnish vowel sounds one that sounds like “oo“, another like “ee“ and a third boundary vowel peculiar to Finnish and similar languages that sounds like something in between. EEG recordi
10、ngs of the infants brains before and after the session showed that the newborns could not distinguish the sounds.Fifteen of the babies then went back with their mothers, while the rest were split into two sleep-study groups. One group was exposed throughout their night-time sleeping hours to the sam
11、e three vowels, while the others listened to other, easier-to-distinguish vowel sounds.When tested in the morning, and again in the evening, the babies whod heard the tricky boundary vowel all night showed brainwave activity indicating that they could now recognise this new sound. They could identif
12、y the sound even when its pitch was changed, while none of the other babies could pick up the boundary vowel at all.Cheour doesnt know how babies accomplish this night-time learning, but she suspects that the special ability might indicate that unlike adults, babies dont “turn off“ their cerebral co
13、rtex while they sleep. “The skill probably fades in the course of the first year of life“, she adds, “so forget the idea that you can pick up tricky French vowels as an adult just by slipping a language tape under your pillow.“ But while it may not help grown-ups, Cheour is hoping to use the sleepin

17、D.三、B第 3部分：概括大意与完成句子(总题数：1，分数：8.00)What Is Happiness?1. The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness, then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fac
18、t, the opposite is true: mostly things that lead to happiness involve some pain.2. As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitmen
19、t and self-improvement.3. Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment (应承担的义务), for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, and
20、 excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.4. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or three-day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have
21、 children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.5. Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increas
22、e our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.AThe Reasons of Marri

Lighter, quieter, and often more efficient than rural counterparts, they take advantage of the extreme turbulence and rapid shifts in direction that ch
27、aracterize urban wind patterns.Prototypes have been successfully tested in several Dutch cities, and the city government in the Hague has recently agreed to begin a large-scale deployment in 2003. Current models cost US $8,000 to US $12,000 and can generate between 3,000 and 7,000 kilowatt hours of
28、electricity per year. A typical Dutch household uses 3,500 kilowatt hours per year, while in the United States, this figure jumps to around 10,000 kilowatt hours.But so far, they are being designed more for public or commercial buildings than for private homes. The smallest of the current models wei
29、gh roughly 200 kilograms and can be installed on a roof in a few hours without using a crane.Germany, Finland and Denmark have also been experimenting with the technology, but the ever-practical Dutch are natural pioneers in urban wind power mainly because of the lack of space. The Netherlands, with
30、 16 million people crowded into a country twice the size of Slovenia, is the most densely populated in Europe.Problems remain, however, for example, public safety concerns, and so strict standards should be applied to any potential manufacturer. Vibrations are the main problem in skyscraper-high tur
31、bine. People dont know what it would be like to work there, in an office next to one of the big turbines. It might be too hectic.Meanwhile, projects are under way to use minimills to generate power for lifeboats, streetlights, and portable generators. “I think the thing about wind power is that you
32、can use it in a whole range of situations,“ said Corin Millais, of the European Wind Energy Association. “Its a very local technology, and you can use it right in your backyard, but I dont think anybody wants a nuclear power plant in their backyard.“（分数：15.00）(1).What are the symbols of the Netherla

37、B.C.D.六、B第二篇/B(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Explorer of the Extreme DeepOceans cover more than two-thirds of our planet. Yet, just a small fraction of the underwater world has been unexplored. Now, Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Massachusetts are building an underwater vehicle th
38、at will carry explorers as deep as 6,500 meters (21,320 feet). The new machine, known as a manned submersible (潜艇) or human-operated vehicle (HOV), will replace another one named Alvin which has an amazing record of discovery, playing a key role in various important and famous undersea expeditions.
39、Alvin has been operating for 40 years but can go down only 4,500 meters (14,784 feet). “Its about time for an upgrade“, WHOI researchers say.“Alvin was launched (发动) in 1964. Since then, Alvin has worked between 200 and 250 days a year“, says Daniel Fornari, a marine geologist (地址学者) and director of
40、 the Deep Ocean Exploration Institute at WHOI. During its lifetime, Alvin has carried some 12,000 people on a total of more than 3,000 dives. “A newer, better versions of Alvin is bound to reveal even more surprises about a world that is still full of mysteries“, Fornari says. It might also make the
41、 job of exploration a little easier. “We take so much for granted on land,“ Fornari says. “We can walk around and see with our eyes how big things are. We can see colors, special arrangements.“Size-wise, the new HOV will be similar to Alvin. Itll be about 37 feet long. The setting area inside will b
42、e a small sphere, about 8 feet wide, like Alvin. Itll carry a pilot and two passengers. It will be just as maneuverable (机动的). In most other ways, it will give passengers more opportunities to enjoy the view, for one thing. Alvin has only three windows, the new vehicle will have five, with more over
43、lap so that the passengers and the pilot can see the same thing.Alvin can go up and down at a rate of 30 meters every second, and its maximum speed is 2 knots (about 2.3 miles per hour), while the new vehicle will be able to ascend and descend at 44 meters per second. Itll reach speeds of 3 knots, o
44、r 3.5 miles per hour.（分数：15.00）(1).What is Alvin? A.A research institute. B.A transporting vehicle. C.A submersible. D.A scientist.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following statements is NOT a fact about Alvin? A.It can carry explorers as deep as 6,500 meters. B.It has played a key role in various
45、 important undersea expeditions. C.It was launched in the sixties of the twentieth century. D.It has been used for more than 40 years.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).“.a world that is still full of mysteries“ refers to _. A.the earth B.out space C.the ocean D.Mars（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).In what aspects are the ne

47、y enriched with new words and forms of expression. But there is a vital distinction between good developments, which add to the language, enabling us to say things we could not say before, and bad developments, which subtract from the language by rendering it less precise. A vivacious, colorful use of words is not to be confused with mere slovenliness (不修边幅). The kind of slovenliness in which some professionals deliberately indulge is perhaps akin (相似的) to the cult of the unfinished work, which has eroded most of the arts in our time. And the true answer to it i
