Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 71One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 72 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. 73Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 74 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, 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 bee thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 75 “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 being 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. 【答案】71C 72E 73F 74G 75B【解析】73.根据下文中的he，可知此处要提到一个人，以及他的理论，正好F项中有，故选F。

2023届高考英语二轮复习考点08非谓语动词(C卷)作业含答案
2023届新高考英语高频考点专项练习：专题六考点08 非谓语动词（C卷）一、填空1.__________ (see) quite a few productions of Hamlet and read the play many times, I was full of confidence－until the Peking Opera came to town!2.Some families which are restricted to __________ (have) one child want to have another child.ck of safe drinking water is one of the most serious problems_________(face) some African countries.4.The Amber Room was a treasure_______(decorate) with gold and jewels.5.________(criticise) by his teacher, Tom was a little annoyed.6.The woman scientist entered the room，__________（ follow） by her assistants.7.A good coach always stays calm in a game because anger can lead to ______(make) wrong strategies.8.This movie is well worth ___________ (see) again.9.We can't have that sort of thing ________ (happen).10.Many students believe that they will choose their courses and universities __________(base) on their own interests.二、阅读理解Journalists are the major group of people who make their living from writing. Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while developing their writing skills. Although writing for newspapers and writing for books require different qualities, the aspiration (志向) to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a would-be journalist.Most people want their work to be recognized by others. This helps to give it value. Some people also want themselves to be recognized, so that they have status (地位) in the eyes of society. It is not a bad motive to wish to be famous, but this must never become your main reason for being a journalist. You will not be a good journalist if you care more for impressing your audience than for serving their needs.Knowing the power of the printed or spoken word or image, some people enter journalism for the power it will give them to influence people. There is a strong belief that journalists control the mass media but the best journalists recognize their role as servants of the people. There is a difference between the desire to influence events for your own sake, and the desire to do it for other people. You should never use journalism for selfish ends, but you can use it to improve the life of other people.Curiosity is a natural part of most people's characters and an important ingredient for any journalist. Lots of young men and women enter the profession with the desire to know more about the world without needing to specialize in limited fields of study. Most journalists tend to know a little bit about a lot of things, rather than a lot about one subject. Knowledge has many uses. It can simply help to make you a fuller and more interesting person. It can also give you power over people, especially people who do not have that particular knowledge. Always bear in mind that power can be used in a positive way to improve people's lives.1.What can we know from the first paragraph?A.Journalists are most likely to become great writers.B.Writing for newspapers is similar to writing for novels.C.Most of the journalists make a living by writing books.D.Journalism can be used as a means to improve writing.2.Why do some people want themselves to be recognized?A.To gain high position.B.To get great power.C.To earn much wealth.D.To learn rich knowledge.3.What is most necessary for journalists according to Paragraph 4?A.Being specialized in a certain field.B.Having a wide range of knowledge.C.Being good at making friends with others.D.Being able to speak a foreign language well.4.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The development of journalism.B.The challenges journalists face now.C.How to become a qualified journalist.D.Why people choose a career in journalism.三、语法填空The demand for Chinese as a foreign language is growing fast, both in English-speaking countries like USA ①______ in other countries like France. The number of the students studying Chinese ②______ (increase) in recent years.There ③______ (be) a number of reasons for the interest. As China develops economically, opportunities for ④______ (do)business increase dramatically. If you know your partner's language, your chances of success increase. But there is also a renewed interest in the culture and traditions of China. In fact, the Chinese culture for over 5,000 years is ⑤______ source of curiosity and 09 fascination for people in other parts of the world.A third reason is ⑥______ learning Chinese is simply a challenge. With ⑦______ (it)characters and complicated tone system, most speakers of other languages think Chinese must be incredibly difficult. But is it ⑧______ (real) So? As one American student says, "One of the ⑨______ (big) problems about learning Chinese is often fear-sometimes ⑩______ (cause) by the teachers. I've studied quite a few languages, and none of them are as easy for me as Chinese."答案以及解析一、填空1.答案：Having seen解析：本句的主干部分是I was full of confidence，描述过去的状态，前面部分在句子中作状语，应用非谓语动词；动词see与主语I之间为主动关系，且在谓语动作之前已经发生或完成，应用现在分词的完成时having seen，句首单词首字母需大写，故填Having seen.2.答案：having解析：本题主要考查非谓语动词。

社会生活类(2013·新课标全国卷Ⅱ·C) (2013·大纲版全国卷·C)Given that many people’s moods(情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate,it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine.Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory,Singapore’s Chocolate Research Facility(CRF)has over 100 varieties of chocolates.Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents’corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.If the CRF seems to be a smart idea,that’s because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi’s and Sony.That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.The CRF’s produce is“green”,made within the country and divided into 10 lines,with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.The Exotic Series—with Sichuan pepper,red bean(豆),cheese and other flavors—also does well and is fun to taste.And for chocolate snobs,who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others,the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo,Cuba,Venezuela,and Ghana,among others.【文章大意】本文介绍了新加坡的Chocolate Research Facility,它拥有100多种巧克力,并且着重介绍了几种很有风味的巧克力。
