AAmazing news for lazy people: sleep makes you smarter. Not studying, reading or reviewing, just sleeping, although the other three won’t hurt either. A study conducted(进行) by Harvard Medical School and the University of Pennylvania found that shut- eye enhances your ability to recall(回忆起) recently learned memories, even when those memories are challenged hours later by new information.Head researcher Dr Jeffery Ellenbogen says: “This shows us that sleep does not just passively（被动的） protect memories, but rather, plays an active role in memory consolidation(巩固). Taking a pickme-up to stay awake can help with alertness(机敏) in the short period, but people really need sleep to keep knowledge and brain function at their best.” Scientists at Stanford University have suggested that a special pillow can reduce(减少) the breathing difficulties that can bother your snoozing（小睡）, so a clever , memory foam pillow(泡沫枕头)will let you sleep soundly enough to sound clever the next day.46.What does the underlined word “ enhance ” mean? A.破坏 B.提高 C.拥有47. The study shows that _____ A. sleep plays an active role in protecting memories B. sleep plays an active role in memory consolidation C. sleep enhances your ability to recall recently learned memories48.Dr Jeffery Ellenbogen thinks that ____ A. sleeping is good for peopleB. shut-eye enhances your ability to read and reviewC. sleep makes you have a good rest49.

Museums have changed a lot. And we can find plenty of changes in different kinds of museums. They are no longer places that one “should” go to but to enjoy. At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity pass your body. At the Children’s Museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are no “Do Not Touch” sign in some other museums in the USA. You are encouraged to experience many things in them.More and more museum directors have realized that people learn best when they can become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to touch,listen and experience so as to discover scientific rules for themselves.The purpose(目的) is not only to provide(提供) fun, but also help people feel at home in the world of science. If people don’t understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it.One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spare time. Another cause is that the number of young people grow in the population. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in a new and different way. They want art that they can take part in. The same is true of science and history.The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new , modern museums. In the States and Canada, there are more than 6,000 museums, twice as many as there were 25 years ago.Title: 56._______________of the museumsKindsScience Museums, Children’s Museums and other museumsHistoryTime57.__________Numbers in the States and Canada25 years agoNot allowed to touch58. ______________NowdaysEncouraged to experienceMore than 6,000Purposeto provide fun→have a good time59. ________________→make full use of scienceFutureThe government 60._____________new and modern museums.第三节 回答问题（5小题，计10分）阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。
On this day, family members travel far for a good meal together. The big dish is a roast turkey. People don’t often eat this bird at other time of the year. That’s what American people do on Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday of November.But do you know how the day started? We have to go back about 400 years. In 1620, the first group of English people came to America by ship.They lived there, but didn’t have enough to eat. Many of them died of hunger during their first winter in America. But the Indians helped them grow food the year after.So the Americans spent three days eating and playing sports to celebrate(庆祝) a good harvest（收获）. That was the first Thanksgiving.It’s a time to give thanks for others’ love and help in life. People are interested in going out to enjoy parades(游行)on the streets. Big balloons of cartoon animals like Garfield fly in the sky.And what’s more, sending cards to say “thank you” to loved ones for Thanksgiving will make other people feel happy. Send your best wishes to them!FamilyOn the day, most people in the US go back home. They may have to travel a long way to be with their parents or grandparents. No one wants to be alone on that day.Food Thanksgiving is a day for a big dinner. Many dishes go with the turkey, like sweet potatoes, pumpkin pies and cranberry sauce(越橘汁).FootballLots of people like to watch American football on TV. Some even watch it all evening.61.
