Ⅱ 阅读理解

A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck.

The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year's Eve to collect firewood. Expecting a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just long johns (衬裤), a shirt and slippers when he went outside, although the temperature was around －4 ℃.

After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey came to his assistance.

“I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was 10：30 pm，” Bob explained. But my Kelsey came. By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn't yell for help, but Kelsey didn't stop barking.

Kelsey's companion kept him warm by lying on top of him. She licked his face and hands to keep him awake. “Kelsey kept barking but never left my side，” Bob recalled. “She kept me warm. I knew I couldn't give up and that it was my choice to stay alive.”

Bob spent 20 hours in the freezing cold. When he finally lost consciousness, his dog kept barking. Finally, hearing the barking, Bob's neighbor discovered him at 6：30 pm on New Year's Day and called the emergency services at once. When Bob arrived in hospital, his body temperature was below 21℃. However, doctors were surprised to find that he didn't have any frostbite (冻疮). They believed it was because of Kelsey's determination to keep him warm. Dr Chaim Colen, the doctor who treated Bob, said, “Animals can help and his dog really saved him ... He was very fortunate.”

Bob said he was “enormously” grateful to both Dr Colen and his Kelsey. “They

saved my life. They are truly heroes！”

Ⅲ 七选五

(2017·北京高考)Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.__1__

One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. __2__ We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.

Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. __3__

Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. __4__ The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.

If Tononi's theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night's sleep, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information—our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.

Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. __5__ “You keep what matters，” Tononi says.

A．We should also try to sleep well the night before.

B．It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.

C．Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick. D．The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories. E．That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.

F．“Sleep is the price we pay for learning，” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.

G．Tononi's team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现睡眠可以让记忆变得更好。 1．C 首句指出每种动物都要睡觉，但原因仍然是个谜。接下来是具体例证，如实验室的老鼠被剥夺了睡眠，一个月内就会死亡，同样，人类如果连续几天不睡觉，就会生病。故选C。

2．E 该段首句提出了第一个假设，睡眠帮助我们巩固新的记忆。与这个论点相呼应的例子是E项，该项中的that指代的就是前面的假设，也就是说，这个假设能够解释为什么学生在学习完如果有机会睡一觉，他们会在考试中发挥更好。

3．F 由下段首句中的代词he可知，该空中必然包含一个人名，否则he就失去了所指对象，浏览各选项，可锁定F项和G项，但只有F项能与本段的内容衔接，也就是说，睡眠会帮助清除记忆，为新记忆腾出空间。按照研究人员Tononi的说法，“睡眠是我们为学习付出的代价”。

4．G 该段首句说“现在我们有最直接的证据证明他的假设是对的”，那接下来应该是具体描述该证据。此外，该空后面一句话解释了实验的结果和意义。综合看来，只有G项符合语境，指出了研究团队、实验对象及实验内容。

5．B 由最后一段第二句及空格后的“you keep what matters” (你记住要紧的事情)可知B项“这就好像是大脑在保存最重要的记忆”，符合语境。
