If you give employees the right to telework, be careful! The very technology that enables working from home could be 1 its value to your company. Although productivity may increase in the short term, working from home may prevent your teams from working 2 .While remote workers may indeed be happier, more carefree and 3 , that doesn’t mean it’s good for their 4 . A company is more than just the work that needs to be done, plus the workers who are there to do it.A healthy organization has a 5 that allows the sharing of values and ideas and the 6of competitive spirit that allows a company to be flexible and creative.However, working from home can fail to motivate remote workers in the same way as a/an7 company environment. As a result, companies 8 — despite the increases inproductivity and happiness that come with teleworking.In work environments where co-workers socialize and have 9 lunchtime chats, some real learning gets done. A lot of information 10 takes place, which allows the very same workers to increase their 11 to the organization. There is something 12 about spending the time together, about sharing meals, about 13 ideas, and about asking.Magical or not, the fact remains that teleworking generally doesn’t work well. As technological change 14 and marketplace pressures increase, companies need to become more flexible and creative, just to keep up.Strange as it sounds, the very technology that made teleworking a real option is now requiring workers to remain in the 15 .1.

2014年广州高三调研测试英语各大题型分析本次调研考延续了2013年广东高考的出题思路，稳中有变。

全卷明显地将中西方文化结合，并大量结合时事和热点话题，让人感到既亲切又邪恶。

形式上，2014年广州市调研考英语卷在题型设计、板块分值等方面与过去两年广东卷保持一致；内容上，本次调研考试题涵盖的题材广泛包括商业、娱乐、历史、语言、环保等，体现了选材方面“社会热点与历史文化并重”的特点，侧重考查在语篇中处理信息的能力。

除完形填空及部分阅读题稍有挑战外，试卷总体难度中等。

Part One 各大题型分析一、完形填空这次完形填空取自著名杂志《福布斯》2013年6月24日的The Real Problem In Working From Home （It‘sNot What You Think），讲述人们在家通过网络工作的弊端。

这一选材延续了近三年高考完形的趋势，选取了一个童鞋们比较陌生的话题，语料十分地道，体裁上则与2011年广东高考的议论文契合，可以看出说明文和议论文在完形填空中出现的频率较高。

对比起原文而言，命题者删去了所有的副标题，因此增加了考生的文章理解难度。

从语篇特征来看，这篇完形继承了11年广东高考完形的特点，首段通过创设情境提出问题，在第二段提出中心论点。

文章依然有个别超纲词会给阅读造成障碍，但值得注意的是，这些超纲词汇大部分是大纲词汇的派生词，如product-productivity，available-availabilty等等。

由于第5、6、9、14题都出现了高频难词，如14题的accelerate，不少同学反映做得不够理想。

实际上这些词语都是卓越高中高频词汇800课上的重点单词，通过课堂上的词根词缀法也可以辅助判断。

值得一提的是，与过去三年的高考完形相比，本次考题明显弱化了复现规律（只有第3，4，12这三道题有所体现），要求学生有更强的逻辑推理能力，结合语境理解信息，特别需要关注体现逻辑关系的连接词（如本篇中and，despite）以及句子结构。

I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him very interesting . I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato), I had a small indoor garden of my own – and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.As I said ,we were at a dinner party. There mist have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist .Midnight cane. I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about ne , Including that I was a “most interesting conversationalist:.An interesting conversationalist ? I had said hardly anything at all.I couldn’t have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn’t know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. But I had done this one thing; I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them fell great too. “Few human beings.” Wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love, “can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.” I went even further that that .I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise”. I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed . I told him I wished I had his knowledge. I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What’s more, it was all true. And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when , in reality, I had only been a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.26.From Paragraph1 we cam learn that the writer ____.A. was deeply moved by the botanist’s talkB. was amazed by what he was hearingC. was not in a comfortable situationD. behaved politely and properly27.

To explain what makes a good conversationalist .D. To show that botanists can be really talkative.26-30BDBACB.A British dog-lover has invented a high-tech way of feeding his pet by Twitter( 推特，流行社交网络). Computer expert Nat Morris ,30, has designed a system to give his pet a “tweet treat” by sending him a Twitter message.His dog Toby gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to “@ feedtoby”.Nat often works away from home and isn’t always able to feed Toby by hand. But his new invention allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world.Nat said .,” Toby absolutely loves it. At first he didn’t know what was going on . Now he sits underneath the machine, wagging his tail and waiting for the food to drop.”Nat fill s the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits, but not too many in case four-year- old Toby gets too many messages. And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying he food at his home.But one problem is that friends and family have been so amazed with the “tweet treat “ machine that they have started sending tweets to Toby too. So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesn’t turn into Tubby.“People have been sending him tweets at all hours of the day, so I had to limit it to between 9a.m. and 9 p.m. . I’m thinking of doing an updated one which can measure his weight before he is fed ,just to make sure he’s not putting on too much puppy fat,” explained Nat.How Nat’s Twitter Feeder works:When a message is sent to @ feedtoby, it is received by a mini –computer that is linked to the feed machine.When the mini-computer receives the message, a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine. Next , the machine’s motor pulls open a trap door which releases a serving of food.The doggy biscuits then drop into Toby’s food bowl. Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter –so he knows Toby has been fed.31.Nat has invented a high-tech way to feed his dog because he ______.A. wants his friends to feed TobyB. has very strong computing skillsC. is often too busy to feed his dogD. doesn’t like to feed Toby by hand.32.Why has Nat decided to limit the feeding machine’s operating time?A. He doesn’t want Toby to get too fat.B. He fears the machine will run out of food.C. He wants his friends to stop feeding Toby.D. He doesn’t want Toby to be woken up at night .33. It can be learned from the passage that Toby _______.A. sits beneath his feeder all day long.B. is now used to being fed by machineC. doesn’t know what happens to the feederD. no longer receives tweets from Nat’s friends34.Which of the following shows the correct order of how the Twitter Feeder works?a. The bell goes off.b. is now used to being fed by machinec. doesn’t know what happens to the feederd. no longer receives tweets from Nat’s friends.e. The motor starts to work and opens the door to release dog food. A.a,b,v,e, d B.b,c,e,a,d C.b,c,a,e,d D.c,b,a,d,e,35. In which section of the newspaper would you most probably find this passage?A. TechnologyB. Health .C. EnvironmentD. Style31-35CABCACNo one knows why we dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between dreams and better memory in people learning a new skill.So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice , practice , practice _ and then sleep on it.“I was very surprised by this finding ,” said Robert Stickgold ,a HarvardUniversity scientist who led the study.In the study ,100 college students each spent an hour on a computer , trying to get through a maze(迷宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start from a different place each time they tried- making it even more difficult.Then, for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were asked to sleep. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had.Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM, or non-REM sleep. REM stands for “rapid eye movement.” Which is what happens during REM sleep. This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper, although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep. Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren’t moving, during NREM wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren’t moving, during NREM sleep. Other studies have found connection between NREM brain activity and learning ability.Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze. Later, when these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to complete it faster.Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn’t help a person learn-it’s the other way around. He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learningAll the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult . People who had other dreams ,or people who didn’t show the same improvement.36. In the first stage of the study, the participants were asked to ____.A. design a maze on computerB. find their way out of a maze.C. decide where to begin a mazeD. remember a location in a maze37.What happened to the participants during the break?A. Half of them were woken up when they started to dream.B. Half of them were asked to dream about the maze.C. All of them were asked to describe their thoughts.D. Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes.38.What can we learn from the passage?A. Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it.B. Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning.C. During NREM sleep, people usually don’t dream.D. Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep.39.According to the last paragraph , before sleeping the maze –dreamers ___.A. found it difficult to do the maze .B. were greatly interested in the mazeC. were mostly slow and poor thinkersD. completed the maze faster than others40. Which of the following statements best summarizes the study’s conclusion?A. Dreams have a role in learning .B. Dreams have no basis in reality.C. Dreams are important for health.D. Dreams are the best way to study.36-40BDDAAD.The recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain’s greatest scientists, biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephen Hawking, is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable men. Surprisingly, they have rather more in common than we think.Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds. They were born in the early 1940s to middle class families _ not wealthy but comfortablyoff , with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public service . Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University—and both succeeded, Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics.Neither man has a very positive view of his early university life. Hawing describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work, “You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail. Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for.” He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student (本科生)。

I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him very interesting. I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato), I had a small indoor garden of my own – and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.Midnight came. I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about ne , Including that I was a ―most interesting conversationalist:.An interesting conversationalist?I had said hardly anything at all. I couldn‘t have said anything if I had wanted to without chang ing the subject, for I didn‘t know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. But I had done this one thing; I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them feel great too. ―Few human beings.‖ Wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love, ―can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.‖ I went even further that that .I was ―sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise‖. I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I told him I wished I had his knowledge. I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What‘s more, it was all true.And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when , in reality, I had only been a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.26.From Paragraph 1, we can learn that the writer ______.A. was deeply moved by the botanist‘s talkB. was amazed by what he was hearingC. was not in a comfortable situationD. behaved politely and properly27.

Computer expert Nat Morris ,30, has designed a system to give his pet a “tweet treat”by sending him a Twitter message.His dog Toby gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to ―@ feedtoby‖.Na t often works away from home and isn‘t always able to feed Toby by hand. But his new invention allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world.Nat said .,‖ Toby absolutely loves it. At first he didn‘t know what was going on. Now he sits underneath the machine, wagging his tail and waiting for the food to drop.‖Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits, but not too many in case four-year- old Toby gets too many messages. And Nat has even equipped his house with an onlinecamera so he can see Toby enjoying he food at his home.But one problem is that friends and family have been so amazed with the ―tweet treat ― machine that they have started sending tweets to Toby too. So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby d oesn‘t turn into Tubby.“People have been sending him tweets at all hours of the day, so I had to limit it to between 9a.m. and 9 p.m. . I‘m thinking of doing an updated one which can measure his weight before he is fed ,just to make sure he‘s not putting on too much puppy fat,‖ explained Nat.How Nat‘s Twitter Feeder works:When a message is sent to @ feedtoby, it is received by a mini –computer that is linked to the feed machine.When the mini-computer receives the message, a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine. Next , the machine‘s motor pulls open a trap door whi ch releases a serving of food.The doggy biscuits then drop into Toby‘s food bowl. Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter －so he knows Toby has been fed.31.Nat has invented a high-tech way to feed his dog because he ______.A. wants his friends to feed TobyB. has very strong computing skillsC. is often too busy to feed his dogD. doesn‘t like to feed Toby by hand.32.Why has Nat decided to limit the feeding machine‘s operating time?A. He doesn‘t want Toby to get too fat.B. He fears the machine will run out of food.C. He wants his friends to stop feeding Toby.D. He doesn‘t want Toby to be woken up at night .33. It can be learned from the passage that Toby _______.A. sits beneath his feeder all day long.B. is now used to being fed by machineC. doesn‘t know what happens to the feederD. no longer receive s tweets from Nat‘s friends34.Which of the following shows the correct order of how the Twitter Feeder works?a. The bell goes off.b. is now used to being fed by machinec. doesn‘t know what happens to the feederd. no longer receives tweets from Nat‘s friends.e. The motor starts to work and opens the door to release dog food.A.a,b,v,e, dB.b,c,e,a,dC.b,c,a,e,dD.c,b,a,d,e,35. In which section of the newspaper would you most probably find this passage?A. TechnologyB. Health .C. EnvironmentD. StyleCNo one knows why we dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between dreams and better memory in people learning a new skill.So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice , practice , practice _ and then sleep on it.―I was very surprised by this finding ,‖ said Robert Stickgold , a Harvard University scientist who led the study.In the study ,100 college students each spent an hour on a computer , trying to get through a maze(迷宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start from a different place each time they tried- making it even more difficult.Then, for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were asked to sleep. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had.Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM, or non-REM sleep. REM stands for ―rapid eye movement.‖ Which is what happens during REM sleep. This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper, although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep. Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren‘t moving, during NREM wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren‘t moving, during NREM sleep. Other studies have found connection between NREM brain activity and learning ability.Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze. Later, when these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to complete it faster.Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn‘t help a person learn-it‘s the other way around. He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learning All the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult . People who had other dreams ,or people who didn‘t show the same improvement.36. In the first stage of the study, the participants were asked to ____.A. design a maze on computerB. find their way out of a maze.C. decide where to begin a mazeD. remember a location in a maze37. What happened to the participants during the break?A. Half of them were woken up when they started to dream.B. Half of them were asked to dream about the maze.C. All of them were asked to describe their thoughts.D. Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes.38. What can we learn from the passage?A. Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it.B. Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning.C. During NREM s leep, people usually don‘t dream.D. Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep.39.According to the last paragraph , before sleeping the maze –dreamers ___.A. found it difficult to do the maze .B. were greatly interested in the mazeC. were mostly slow and poor thinkersD. completed the maze faster than others40. Which of the following statements best summarizes the study‘s conclusion?A. Dreams have a role in learning.B. Dreams have no basis in reality.C. Dreams are important for health.D. Dreams are the best way to study.D.The recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain‘s greatest scientists, biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephen Hawking, is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable men. Surprisingly, they have rather more in common than we think.Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds. They were born in the early 1940s to middle class families _ not wealthy but comfortably off , with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public service . Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University—and both succeeded, Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics.Neither man has a very positive view of his early university life. Hawing describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work, ―You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail. Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for.”He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student (本科生)。

Hawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work, "You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail. Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for. “He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student (本科生).Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins. Like Hawking, he wasn't particularly hard-working and never attended his lectures. But he found Oxford's system of weekly essay-based lessons with an academic tutor useful, "It was really only the tutorial system that educated me.”For both men, scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962. Dawkins, who remained at Oxford, describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students, which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book, The Selfish Gene. This volume transformed scientific thinking about Darwinian evolution.Hawking, on the other hand, moved to Cambridge University after graduation, where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicist since Albert Einstein. He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body, leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes.Although communication is slow - he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine - his illness has not affected his mind or his research on space-time and the origins of the universe.Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinker. Read together, they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research.41. Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking's and Dawkins' backgrounds?A. They were both from wealthy families.B. They studied the same subject in university.C. They graduated from the same secondary school.D. They both came from families that valued good education.42. Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student?A. He preferred doing his own research and experiments.B. Students considered it inappropriate to study too much.C. The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him.D. He was more interested in making friends with his classmates.43. According to Dawkins, what helped him develop his most important ideas?A. His hard work as an undergraduate.B. The support he received from his family.C. The excellent tutors at Oxford University.D. The competition from other postgraduate students.44. What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from the passage?A. Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate.B. Hawking is more respected by the scientific community.C. They knew each other during their studies at Oxford.D. Hawking has experienced more physical difficulties.45. What is the function of the last paragraph?A. To state which book the writer prefers.B. To recommend the reviewed books to readers.C. To summarize the achievements of the two scientists.D. To suggest the order in which the books should be read.笫二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

I had never talked with a otanist before, and i found him very interesting . I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants snd his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my own -----and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problem.As i said , we were at a dinner party . There must have been a dozen guests, but i broke an important rulr of politeness. I ingored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanistMidnight came, i said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me , including that i was a “most ”interesting conversationalist.”An interesting conversationalist ? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldn’t have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn’t know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. But I had done this one thing; I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them fell great too. “Few human beings.” Wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love, “can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.” I went even further that that .I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise”. I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed . I told him I wished I had his knowledge.I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What’s more, it was all true.And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when , in reality, I had only been a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.26.From Paragraph1 we cam learn that the writer ____.A. was deeply moved by the botanist’s talkB. was amazed by what he was hearingC. was not in a comfortable situationD. behaved politely and properly27. Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness at dinner parties?A. Avoiding discussions about politics and religion.B. Listening carefully to what another guest says.C.

Computer expert Nat Morris , 30, has designed a system to give his pet “tweet treat ” by sending him a twitter message.His dog Toby gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to “@ feedtoby”.Nat often works away from home and isn’t always able to feed Toby by hand. But his new invention allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world.Nat said, “Toby absolutely loves it. At first he didn’t know what was going on. Now he sits under neath the machine, wagging his tail and waiting for the food to drop.”Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits, but not too many in case four-year-old Toby gets too many messages. And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying the food at his home.But one problem is that friends and family have been so amazed with the “tweet treat” machine that they have started sending tweets to Toby too. So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesn’t turn into Tubby.“People have been sending him tweets at all hours of the day, so I had to limit it to between 9a.m. and 9 p.m. . I’m thinking of doing an updated one which can measure his weight before he is fed, just to make sure he’s not putting on too much puppy fat,” explained Nat.How Nat’s Twitter Feeder works:When a message is sent to @ feedtoby, it is received by a mini –computer that is linked to the feed machine.When the mini-computer receives the message, a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine. Next, the machine’s motor pulls open a trap door which releases a serving of food.The doggy biscuits then drop into Toby’s food bowl. Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter -- so he knows Toby has been fed.31.Nat has invented a high-tech way to feed his dog because he ______.A. wants his friends to feed TobyB. has very strong computing skillsC. is often too busy to feed his dogD. doesn’t like to feed Toby b y hand.32. Why has Nat decided to limit the feeding machine’s operating time?A. He doesn’t want Toby to get too fat.B. He fears the machine will run out of food.C. He wants his friends to stop feeding Toby.D. He doesn’t want Toby to be woken up at nig ht.33. It can be learned from the passage that Toby _______.A. sits beneath his feeder all day long.B. is now used to being fed by machineC. doesn’t know what happens to the feederD. no longer receives tweets from Nat’s friends34. Which of the following shows the correct order of how the Twitter Feeder works?a. The bell goes off.b. A message is sent to @ feedtoby.c. The mini-computer gets the message.d. The digital camera takes a photo of Toby and sends it to Nat.e. The motor starts to work and opens the door to release dog food.A.a,b,c,e, dB.b,c,e,a,dC.b,c,a,e,dD.c,b,a,d,e,35. In which section of the newspaper would you most probably find this passage?A. TechnologyB. Health.C. EnvironmentD. Style31-35 CABCACNo one knows why we dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between dreams and better memory in people learning a new skill.So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice , practice , practice _ and then sleep on it.“I was very surprised by this finding ,” said Robert Stickgold , a Harvard University scientist who led the study.In the study ,100 college students each spent an hour on a computer , trying to get through a maze(迷宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start from a different place each time they tried- making it even more difficult.Then, for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were asked to sleep. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had.Stick gold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM, or non-REM sleep. REM stands for “rapid eye movement.” Which is what happens during REM sleep. This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper, although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep. Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren’t moving, during NREM wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren’t moving, during NREM sleep. Other studies have found connection between NREM brain activity and learning ability. Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze. Later, when these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to complete it faster. Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn’t help a person learn-it’s the other way around. He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learningAll the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult . People who had other dreams ,or people who didn’t show the same improvement.36. In the first stage of the study, the participants were asked to ____.A. design a maze on computerB. find their way out of a maze.C. decide where to begin a mazeD. remember a location in a maze37.What happened to the participants during the break?A. Half of them were woken up when they started to dream.B. Half of them were asked to dream about the maze.C. All of them were asked to describe their thoughts.D. Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes.38.What can we learn from the passage?A. Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it.B. Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning.C. During NREM sleep, people usually don’t dream.D. Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep.39.According to the last paragraph , before sleeping the maze –dreamers ___.A. found it difficult to do the maze .B. were greatly interested in the mazeC. were mostly slow and poor thinkersD. completed the maze faster than others40. Which of the following statements best summarizes the study’s conclusion?A. Dreams have a role in learning .B. Dreams have no basis in reality.C. Dreams are important for health.D. Dreams are the best way to study.36-40BDDAA第一节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
