21、第一篇 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.The lower the stage of sleep,____.

A.the greater the alpha waves will be
B.the slower the brain waves will appear
C.activity pattern of the brain
D.the closer one is to the initial Stage 1 sleep

22、(同21题)Before one reaches the deepest sleep,____.

A.muscular inhibition occurs

24、(同21题)Muscular relaxation, a temperature drop, and breath regularity are characteristics of_____.

26、第二篇 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.This passage is mainly about____
A.he functions of the three sections of the brain.
B.the human brain.
C.complexity of the human brain.
D.the areas that control different kinds of behaviour.

27、(同26题)As used in this passage, the word ’involuntary’ means____

A.normal.
B.abnormal.
C.particular.
D.automatic.

28、(同26题)Excitement, fear, and love are centered in____

A.the neocortex
B.The pituitary.
C.Brain 2.
D.The medulla.

29、(同26题)We can conclude from the passage that____

A.only humans have the neocotex section of the brain.
B.we know very little about the brain.
C.brain 3 is all we need to survive.
D.we still have a lot to learn about the brain.

30、(同26题)That passage suggests that____
