16、 which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following recording.People spend nearly one-third of their lives sleeping. Undeniably, one of the most important functions of sleep is to promote the formation of learning and memory. Besides,

17、 is there any other reason?Why do we sleep?I know this question has been debated by scientists and philosophers for centuries, but are there any answers?First,scientists have long been searching for the secrets of sleep, why we sleep and why it is necessary. We know that going without sleep for too

18、long can seriously damage health, so we have every reason to believe that getting enough sleep is important for our well-being.But exactly how and why thats the case is still an open question. Some research, though, may shed a little light on the problem. For instance, scientists at the University o

19、f Rochester Medical Center in New York did a study with mice, and found that during sleep their brains would release poisonous substances that accumulate during the day.More specifically, the study found that sleep sort of changes the brains cell structure. When the mice were asleep, the researchers

20、 found that there was more space between their brain cells, allowing a brain device to be turned on to allow fluid to flow quickly through the brain.Other studies have shown that poisonous molecules buildup in the space between brain cells.Researchers at the University of Rochester found that those

21、molecules disappeared faster from the brain when the mice were asleep. So what docs this mean? Well, it could give scientists new ways to study and potentially treat brain disorders by targeting the brain system and helping it better remove poisonous substances from the brain.Please listen again.Que

22、stions:11 .Whafs the speaker mainly talking about?12 .What causes poisonous substances to be released quickly from the mice?13 . What can be learned from the study of the University of Rochester?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following recording.Advertisements are designed to persuade us t

23、o buy things,but which techniques have been shown to be effective in attracting us to buy?One way is simply to picture something as normal. Former advertising professional Dan Parker explains that normalization1,showing people happily eating unhealthily,can lead to higher sales of junk food as peopl

24、e start to see these habits as normal. This is like product placement, where products are shown or mentioned in TV shows and films. Beth Fossen, an assistant professor of marketing, tells us that product placement is most effective when it is not too obvious. We become defensive if we know that some

25、one is trying to sell us something.Appealing to our emotions is another strategy that advertisers use. Some of them use fear to persuade us. Janet, a senior lecturer in communication studies, explains that fbr fear to be an effective tool,we need to believe that both the fears raised, and the possib

26、ility that our actions can make a difference are credible.Advertisements often show perfect-looking people because marketers believe that we are eager to be like them and will buy their approved products. However, as Karen, a senior lecturer in marketing and advertising, points out, this may not be

27、the best strategy. The research that she mentions snows these advertisements can make people feel bad and put them off products. These studies suggest that seeing people as more human and approachable can convince us to trust them.David Robson,writing for BBC Work life,explains that those who admit

28、they are wrong are more hkely to be trusted.Please listen again.Questions:14 .

45、om NASAs Kepler Space Telescope allowed astronomers to announce the detection of three planets orbiting Kepler-138.This was based on a(31)dip in starlight as the planet momentarily passed in front of their star,a transit.Benneke and his colleague Diana Dragomir,from the University of New Mexico,came

46、 up with the idea of re-observing the planetary (32)with the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes between 2014 and 2016 to catch more transits of Kepler-138d,the third planetin the system,in order to study its atmosphere.While earlier NASA Kepler space telescope observations only showed transits of t

47、hree small planets around Kepler-138,Piaulet and her team were (33)to find that the Hubble and Spitzer observations suggested the presence of a fourth planet in the system,Kepler-138e.This newly found planet is small and farther from its star than the three others, taking 38 days to complete an orbi

48、t. The planet is in the (34)zone of its star, a temperate region where a planet receives just the right amount of heat from its cool star to be neither too hot nor too cold to allow the presence of liquid water. Observing the exoplanets transit would have allowed astronomers to (35)its size.With Kepler-138e, the masses of the (36) known planets were measured again via the transit timing-variation method,which consists of(37)small variations in the precise moments of the planets* transits in front of their star cause
