13、awakened by the lightest sound?To find the answer, sleep researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital conducted an unusual study of 12 self-described deep sleepers. After tests confirmed that the healthy volunteers were solid sleepers, they took part in a three-night study in the universitys sleep

14、laboratory. The participants spent the night in a big and comfortable room. But the room also included four speakers positioned near the top of the bed.During the night, the deep sleepers were subjected to 14 different recorded sounds, like street traffic, toilets flushing, an ice machine dispensing

15、 and an airplane flying overhead. Next door, the researchers monitored their sleep patterns and brain waves.As expected, all of the participants slept relatively well, but there were differences in how they responded to the noisy interruptions. Some of the sleepers didnt wake up even when a sound wa

16、s blasted at 70 decibels (分贝); others were awakened by sounds at 40 or 50 decibels.The researchers discovered that the difference in a sleepers reaction to noise could be predicted by the level of brain activity called “sleep spindles. A sleep spindle is a burst of high-frequency brain activity comi

17、ng from deep inside the brain during sleep. The source of the spindles is the thalamus, a part of the brain that sends sensory information to the rest of the cortex (皮层).Before the study, the Massachusetts researchers theorized (推理) that the spindles are the brains way of preventing sensory informat

18、ion from passing through the thalamus and waking the rest of the brain during sleep. They found that the sleepers who experienced the most sleep spindles during the night were also the soundest sleepers and were least likely to be awakened by noise.Scientists already know that most people become lig

19、hter sleepers with age, most likely because older people experience less “slow wave sleep, which is the deepest stage of sleep. People also produce fewer sleep spindles as they age. But even when controlling for the stage of sleep a person was in, the number of sleep spindles still predicted their r

20、isk for awakening because of noise.More research is needed, but the findings suggest that a better understanding of sleep spindles could lead to new behavioral or drug therapies for people with sleep disorders. For instance, future studies may try to determine whether diet, exercise or other behavio

21、rs may influence the number of sleep spindles a person produces during the night. 8. Some participants can sleep well through loud noises mainly because _.A. their brains dont respond to outside noisesB. their brains react differently to noisesC. they adapt to the environment quicklyD. they dont pay

22、 attention to the monitors9. Scientists believe that the key to affecting deep sleep is _. A. sleep spindles B. stages of sleep C. sleep disorders D. sensory information10. It can be learned from the passage that _. A. the older a deep sleeper becomes, the lighter his sleep must be B. the more “slow

23、 wave sleep” one experiences, the deeper sleep one has C. the more frequently a sleepers brain works, the less information it sends D. the deeper sleep people have, the more likely they will be awakened by noise 11. From the passage we can predict _.A. more factors in influencing sleep spindles may

24、be discovered B. more solid sleepers will take part in relative experimentsC. sleep spindles will be applied to changing ones behaviorsD. deep sleepers will probably enjoy a more healthy life【参考答案】811、BAB A 阅读理解-DPsychology(心理学) has a new application in the field of medicine. Many doctors, together

25、with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals, modern therapy（疗法） seems to focus on the physical disease. Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines. Some doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psych

26、ological therapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight. The doctor knows that a disease affects a patients body physicall

27、y. The body of the patient changes because of the disease. He is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change. The medical treatment might cure the patients physical problems, but the patients mind mus

28、t fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctors, and nu

29、rses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery. Therefore, a doctors treatment must help the patient change that. Simontons method emphasizes treatment of the “whole” patient. The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray treatment, can become more positive. The physici

30、an who is following Simontons psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor（肿瘤） in the body. In the mental picture, the patient sees a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells

31、and causing them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Simonton asks him to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying and

32、his blood carry away the dead cells. Both the medical therapy and the patients positive attitude fight the disease. Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this use of psychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves change. They become more confide

33、nt because they use the power within their own minds to help stop the disease. Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of suggestion therapy. At first, the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply. The patient thinks only about one thing. He becomes so unaware of

34、other things around him that he is asleep, or rather in a trance（催眠状态）. Then the physician makes “a suggestion” to the patient about the medical problem. The patients mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance. In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his

35、 body respond to treatment. Doctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with the strong pain of some disease. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient worries about her illness so much that

36、 the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious. Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic（慢性的）diseases. Asthma （哮喘） is an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a disease that causes the patient to have difficulty in breathing. T

37、he patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or she needs. Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily. Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treating ch

38、ildren. Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated by it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had Excellent results. They were able to breathe more easily, and the

39、y did not need medication. Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Most of the children also felt better about themselves. Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking

40、, and sleep-related problems. Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psychology and that psychology has important applications in medicine.55. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How suggestion therapy benefits adults and children. B. How modern therapy focuses on the

41、disease.C. Responses from the medical world.D. How to use the mind against disease.56. How does psychological therapy work? A. The patient waits for the medicine and treatment to cure him. B. The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patients problems. C. The doctor, the medicine, and the patien

42、t work together to fight disease. D. The patient uses his mind to cure himself.57. What can we learn from the studies of Carl Simonton, M. D.? A. The medical treatment can cure the patients mental disease. B. The treatment of a patient by treating the body and the mind is necessary. C. The mental tr

A. the medical effect is better with psychological therapy than without it B. the patients can see a powerful beam of ra

44、diation hitting their tumor cells C. the patients attitudes towards themselves have changed D. the patients are easy to accept the methods the doctors use to treat them59. It can be learned from the passage that suggestion therapy cannot be used to . A. help adults deal with the strong pain of some

45、diseases B. help the patients with chronic diseases C. help change some bad habits D. help cure patients of insomnia（失眠症）60. According to the passage, which of the following remains unknown so far? A. The value of mental therapy. B. The effectiveness of suggestion therapy. C. The working principle o
