31、media,are like a mirror that reflects the social,cultural,economic or even political situation of a society of a particular era.However,beyond being simply an illustration of the human condition,arts can be vital in pushing the country forward culturally and economically.Without doubt,arts are impor

32、tant for the progress of society.They enable individuals to develop on the whole and deepen the social ties in communities by gathering people to create,experience and enjoy art together,which can be seen from traditional ethnic dances to interactive theatre performanccs.Beyond material wants and ne

33、eds,human beings find fulfilment in experiencing and expressing things of remarkable value through arts.Meanwhile,strong citizens participation in arts also strengthens the social fabric of a nation.Moreover,arts enable a nation to progress in human rights and values.As powerful media that are able

34、to stir hearts and cause reflection,arts can speak up the human voice of criticism sharply and clearly in times of crisis,and call upon society to seek the common good.It is evident that arts,which express human values and emotions,can constitute a profound way of promoting human dignity and additio

35、nally,form the barrier of the ethical and moral life of society.More often than not,a booming arts scene may not narrow the rich-poor divide.Its not hard to see that in a highly competitive world,it is essential for govemments to prioritize the development of a strong workforce and the building of s

36、ustainable industries.However,arts may well complement(补充)economic policies as arts encourage individuals to exercise creativity.As Albert Einstein stated,imagination is more important than knowledge.While knowledge and professional skills may stimulate a countrys development,the ability to innovate

37、 and think out of the box may be valuable to a society facing ever new and unpredictable challenges.While the importance of arts may differ from country to country,depending on its economic circumstances and the socio-political issues,the importance of arts to the progress of a nation should not be

41、brains,the chemical messenger triggers rapid-eye-movement sleep,or REM,researchers report in the March 4 Science.These new results are some of the first to show a trigger for the shifts.Understanding these transitions in more de tail could ultimately point to ways to treat sleep disorders in people.

42、Certain nerve cells in the ventral tegmental area of the mouse brain can pump out dopamine,a molecule that has been linked to pleasure,movement and learning,which is then delivered dopamine to the amygdalae,two almond-shaped structures deep in the brain that are closely tied to emotions.Using a mole

43、cular sensor that can tell exactly when and where dopamine is released,the researchers saw that dopamine levels rose in the amygdala e just before mice shifted from non-REM sleep to REM sleep.Next,the researchers forced the mice into the REM phase by controlling those dopamine-producing nerve cells

44、using lasers and genetic techniques.Compelled with light,the nerve cells released dopamine in the amygdalae while mice were in non-REM sleep.The mice then shifted into REM sleep sooner than they typically did,after an average of about two minutes compared with about eight minutes for mice that weren

45、t prompted to release dopamine.Stimulating these cells every half hour increased the mices total amount of REM sleep.Additional experiments suggest that these dopamine-making nerve cells may also be involved in aspects of narcolepsy(嗜睡症).A sudden loss of muscle tone,called cataplexy,shares features

46、with REM sleep and can accompany narcolepsy.Stimulating these dopamine-making nerve cells while mice were awake caused the mice to stop moving and fall directly into REM sleep.The results help clarify a trigger for REM in mice;whether a similar thing happens in people isnt known Earlier studies have

47、 found that nerve cells in peoples amygdala e are active during REM sleep.Many questions remain.Drugs that change dopamine levels in people dont seem to have big effects on REM sleep and cataplexy.But these drugs affect the whole brain,and its possible that they are just not selective enough.32.What

48、 can we learn from this passage?A.People with sleep disorders could benefit from the research.B.Dopamine is generated in two almond-shaped structures.C.Dopamine levels rose after mice shifted to REM sleep.D.An increase of dopamine can trigger REM in people.33.The underlined word“they”in the last par

49、agraph refers to _.A.the entire brainB.REM sleep and cataplexyC.drugs affecting dopamine levelsD.people suffering from sleep disorders34.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To introduce two stages of sleep of all animals.B.To explain dopamine as a trigger for REM in mice.C.To present a new way

50、 to cure sleep disorders in people.D.To propose a pioneer research interest in brain structure.第二节第二节(共共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 分，共分，共 10 分分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Do Man-on-the-Street InterviewsThe man-on-the-street interview is an int
