21、for those wanting a good nights sleep.But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin (褪黑激素)，which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study，by research

22、ers from Seoul，South Korea，involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk，which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin，were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime，according t

23、o the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now，taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling t

24、o fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content，which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugarfree and additivefree with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fa

25、ttening.The more fat you take in before bedtime，the greater burden you will put on your body at night.语篇解读本文是一篇议论文。长期以来，人们认为睡觉前喝一杯热牛奶有助于睡眠，但研究表明，只有喝晚上挤的牛奶才真正有助于睡眠。这到底是什么原因呢？快来读文章吧！9According to the text，the mice fed with daytime milk_Astarted sleep more easilyBwere more anxiousCwere less activeDwoke

26、 up later解析：细节理解题。由第四段中的信息“Those given night milk.were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime.”可知，老鼠喝了白天挤的牛奶会更有活力，也更焦虑，故选B项。答案：B10Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?AIts been tested on mice for ten times.BIt can make people m

27、ore energetic.CIt exists in milk in great amount.DIts used in sleeping drugs.解析：推理判断题。文章中提到晚上挤的牛奶的褪黑激素含量是白天挤的牛奶的10倍，并不是说研究人员在老鼠身上测试了10次，所以A项错误；由第二段中的信息“.help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.”可知褪黑激素不可能使人更加精力充沛，故排除B项；由第二段中的信息“.night milkcontains more melatonin.”可知，并不是所有的牛奶中都含有大量的褪黑激素，故排除C项；由第六段中

28、的信息“taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night”可知，褪黑激素被用于安眠药中，故D项正确。答案：D11What can be a suitable title for the text?ANight Milk and SleepBFat，Sugar and HealthCAn Experiment on MiceDMilk Drinking and Health解析：标题归纳题。作者在第一段就点明了文章要论述的对象晚上挤的牛奶。在接下来的几段中，作

29、者通过研究人员在老鼠身上做的实验论证了晚上挤出的牛奶与睡眠的关系，所以最适合做文章标题的是A项。B项意为“脂肪、糖与健康”，C项意为“在老鼠身上做的一个实验”，D项意为“牛奶饮用与健康”，均与文章的主旨不符。答案：A12How does the author support the theme of the text?ABy giving examples.BBy stating arguments.CBy explaining statistical data.DBy providing research results.解析：推理判断题。文章的第二、三、四、五段都是讲研究人员的实验及其结果

30、，所以作者是用研究人员的研究结果来支持论点的。文章中没有给出具体的例子，没有单纯地陈述论点，也没有解释统计数据，所以排除A、B、C三项，选D项。答案：DDOur brains work in complex and strange ways.There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40，000 years, but who cannot add two plus two.Others can perform complex classical piano pieces a

31、fter hearing them once, but they cannot read or write.Dr.J.Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887.He called these people idiot savants.An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental injury, such as in autism (自闭症) or retardation.At the same time, the person also exhibits some ex

32、traordinary skills, which are unusual for most people.The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory.One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr.Benjamin Rush, an America

33、n doctor.His patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in 1724.It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2，210，500，800 seconds.Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write.Another idi

35、m Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly.Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment.Yet not all brain injury leads to savant skills.Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side o

36、f the brain can develop idiot savant skills.However，few people wish to participate in such experiments.There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on ones brain.The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate.Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelli

37、gence and are thus not idiots.语篇解读有些人可以说出4000年中的任何一天是星期几却不能说出2加2等于几，而有些人在仅听一次之后能弹出复杂的经典钢琴曲，但却不会读写。这些人被叫作“低能特才”，他们有心理缺陷但在某些方面却有特殊的才能。13What does the passage mainly talk about?AIdiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities.BHuman beings have complicated thinking process.CThe brains of the idiot sa

38、vants are partly impaired.DThe reasons why people have wonderful skills vary.解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可以看出文章是围绕“idiot savants”展开的，并举了几个具有特殊才能的低能特才的例子，可知A项符合文章大意。答案：A14Which of the following can be done by Rain Man?AHe can play wonderful pieces of classical music.BHe can guess out exactly the length of a mans li

39、fe.CHe can memorize the contents of the pictures fast.DHe can count matches dropped on the floor quickly.解析：推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段的“with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly”可知Rain Man具有快速进行复杂计算的能力。故D项符合说明。答案：D15What can you infer from the passage?AIdiot savants have real talents for ar

40、t and math.BDr.Down is the first person who found idiot savants.CFew people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations.DIntentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants.解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However few people wish to participate in such experiments.”可知很少有人愿意通过手术变成低能特才的人。答案：C第
