(2025·江苏常州高二上期末)
Recent headlines claimed that regular napping(打盹) can build a bigger brain and slow neural(神经的) aging.The research was published in the journal Sleep Health.
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。最近的头条新闻声称，有规律的午睡可以让大脑更大，并减缓神经老化，研究人员通过相关数据探讨了这一观点，文章还指出了该项研究的局限性。
To explore whether napping is beneficial to brain health over the long term，the study authors made use of UK Biobank，a database of in-depth genetic and health information from half a million residents of the United Kingdom.
Thanks to the data in the UK Biobank，they were able to link numerous gene variants(变体) to a greater likelihood of napping in 378,932 subjects(all of whom were aged 40 to 69).The likelihood of napping was measured based on how subjects replied to the question，“Do you have a nap during the day？” The options were“never or rarely，” “sometimes，” and “usually.”
When it comes to napping，two key variables(变量) that can influence data greatly are age and sickness.Older and sicker people tend to nap more often and for longer because they easily get tired.The researchers found that the people with the gene variants linked to napping had slightly larger brains than people without those gene variants，about 1.3% larger.That might sound small，but the authors of the study noted that it can be quite significant.
“Our finding of a larger total brain volume in those who usually nap is nearly equal to 2.6 to 6.5 years of difference in aging，” they wrote.“In addition，this difference roughly equals to the difference in brain volume between people with normal cognitive(认知的) function and mild cognitive impairment.”
Professor Tara Spires-Jones，President of the British Neuroscience Association，said that the study was well-conducted，but had remarkable limitations.“The napping habits of UK Biobank participants were self-reported，which might not be entirely accurate，and the ‘napping’ signature overlapped(重叠) greatly with the signature for cognitive outcomes in the study，which makes the causal link weaker.” Additionally，as the brain is easily the most important organ in the body，it’s quite possible that people with larger brains simply need to nap more，rather than napping actually increasing their brain size.So don’t look to napping as an ideal way to buff up your brain.
1.What’s the major finding of the research
A.Regular napping does good to human brain.
B.Age and sickness has little to do with napping.
C.People with napping gene get tired more easily.
D.Napping people can live 2.6 to 6.5 years longer.
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Recent headlines claimed that regular napping(打盹) can build a bigger brain and slow neural(神经的) aging.”可知，这项研究的主要发现是有规律的午睡对人的大脑有好处。故选A。
解析
√
2.Which of the following research methods might be used in the research process
A.Logic reasoning. B.Unplanned sampling.
C.Data analysis. D.Doing experiments.
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Thanks to the data in the UK Biobank，they were able to link numerous gene variants(变体) to a greater likelihood of napping in 378,932 subjects(all of whom were aged 40 to 69).”可推知，研究过程中可能使用了数据分析的调查方法。故选C。
解析
√
3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “impairment”？
A.Damage. B.Recovery.
C.Understanding. D.Development.
词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句中的“this difference roughly equals to the difference in brain volume between people with normal cognitive(认知的) function and mild cognitive impairment.”可知，此处是指这种脑容量差异大致相当于正常认知功能者和轻度认知损伤者的脑容量差异，所以impairment意为“损伤”。故选A。
解析
√
4.Which of the following statements might Professor Tara Spires-Jones agree with
A.The research result is acceptable.
B.Napping boosts people’s brain size.
C.The study shouldn’t have used UK Biobank.
D.Napping doesn’t matter much to people’s brain.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Additionally，as the brain is easily the most important organ in the body，it’s quite possible that people with larger brains simply need to nap more，rather than napping actually increasing their brain size.So don’t look to napping as an ideal way to buff up your brain.”可推知，泰拉·斯皮尔斯-琼恩教授可能会认同午睡对人的大脑影响不大的看法。故选D。
解析

(2025·山东青岛高二上期末)
A man with Parkinson’s(帕金森) disease has experienced a substantial improvement in his ability to walk after being fitted with a device that electrically stimulates his spinal cord(脊髓).The findings，although based on one person，suggest this could be used to treat movement disorders.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一位帕金森病患者在接受了一种刺激脊髓的装置治疗后，其行走能力得到了显著改善。虽然这项研究只基于一个患者，但研究人员认为这种方法可以帮助许多人。不过，这项治疗还需要至少五年的时间才能推广到试验之外的人群。
Treatments for Parkinson’s disease include drugs that target parts of the brain which regulates movement，as well as deep-brain stimulation，which changes the electrical signals that cause symptoms.However，many people don’t respond to these treatments，particularly if their condition is advanced，says Courtine.
He and his colleagues wanted to find out whether directly stimulating the spinal cord in a person with severe Parkinson’s disease could help.The team designed the device that specifically targets neurons(神经元) in the spine that are activated when legs walk，which showed promise in non-human primates with Parkinson’s-like symptoms.To test it in a person，the researchers recruited a 62-year-old man called Marc，who has experienced Parkinson’s symptoms for around 30 years.These included pace freezing-sudden and temporary inability to move.
The researchers first had to map the neurons in Marc’s spine.This helped to guide the application of stimulators so they would only target his legs’ neurons.They then placed sensors on Marc’s legs and shoes to monitor the electrical activity of the neurons that activate the muscles in these limbs and his feet.When these sensors detected this electrical activity，they activated the stimulators.
After three months’ training using the stimulators，Marc more or less stopped experiencing pace freezing.Marc says that passing through narrow paths or turning had previously caused pace freezing，which led to him falling five or six times a day.Marc has now been using the stimulator for two years and says he hardly falls any more，allowing him to walk several kilometres at a time.
The stimulation is personalised to Marc.Nevertheless，the team thinks a similar technique could help many people.But there are at least five more years of development before the treatment will reach people outside a trial，says Courtine.
5.Why does Courtine’s team design the device
A.Conventional treatments help little.
B.Patients suffer from deep-brain stimulation.
C.The device is much cheaper.
D.The medicine has side effects.
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However，many people don’t respond to these treatments，particularly if their condition is advanced，says Courtine.”可知，Courtine 的团队设计这个装置是因为传统的治疗方法对许多人特别是病情严重的人帮助不大。故选A。
解析
√
6.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The procedure of the treatment.
B.The effects of the research.
C.The function of stimulators.
D.The prediction of researchers.
√
段落大意题。根据第四段“The researchers first had to map the neurons in Marc’s spine...They then placed sensors on Marc’s...When these sensors detected this electrical activity，they activated the stimulators.”可知，本段主要介绍了这种装置的治疗步骤。故选A。
解析
7.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A.Marc is dissatisfied with the treatment.
B.Marc recovers after three-month’s training.
C.The device is specially adjusted for Marc.
D.The device has been used widely.
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“After three months’ training using the stimulators，Marc more or less stopped experiencing pace freezing.”和最后一段中“The stimulation is personalised to Marc.”可知，这个装置是为马克特别定制的。故选C。
解析
√
8.What is the limitation of this research
A.Small sample. B.Low technology.
C.High cost. D.Inconvenient operation.
√
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The findings，although based on one person，suggest this could be used to treat movement disorders.”可知，这项研究基于一个人，样本量小，这是该研究的局限性。故选A。

(2025·江苏常州高二上期末)
Recent headlines claimed that regular napping(打盹) can build a bigger brain and slow neural(神经的) aging.The research was published in the journal Sleep Health.To explore whether napping is beneficial to brain health over the long term，the study authors made use of UK Biobank，a database of in-depth genetic and health information from half a million residents of the United Kingdom.
Thanks to the data in the UK Biobank，they were able to link numerous gene variants(变体) to a greater likelihood of napping in 378,932 subjects(all of whom were aged 40 to 69)．The likelihood of napping was measured based on how subjects replied to the question，“Do you have a nap during the day？” The options were“never or rarely，” “sometimes，” and “usually.”
When it comes to napping，two key variables(变量) that can influence data greatly are age and sickness.Older and sicker people tend to nap more often and for longer because they easily get tired.The researchers found that the people with the gene variants linked to napping had slightly larger brains than people without those gene variants，about 1.3% larger.That might sound small，but the authors of the study noted that it can be quite significant.
“Our finding of a larger total brain volume in those who usually nap is nearly equal to 2.6 to 6.5 years of difference in aging，” they wrote.“In addition，this difference roughly equals to the difference in brain volume between people with normal cognitive(认知的) function and mild cognitive impairment.”
Professor Tara Spires-Jones，President of the British Neuroscience Association，said that the study was well-conducted，but had remarkable limitations.“The napping habits of UK Biobank participants were self-reported，which might not be entirely accurate，and the ‘napping’ signature overlapped(重叠) greatly with the signature for cognitive outcomes in the study，which makes the causal link weaker.” Additionally，as the brain is easily the most important organ in the body，it’s quite possible that people with larger brains simply need to nap more，rather than napping actually increasing their brain size.So don’t look to napping as an ideal way to buff up your brain.

A．Regular napping does good to human brain.
B．Age and sickness has little to do with napping.
C．People with napping gene get tired more easily.
D．Napping people can live 2.6 to 6.5 years longer.

(2025·山东青岛高二上期末)
A man with Parkinson’s(帕金森) disease has experienced a substantial improvement in his ability to walk after being fitted with a device that electrically stimulates his spinal cord(脊髓)．The findings，although based on one person，suggest this could be used to treat movement disorders.
Treatments for Parkinson’s disease include drugs that target parts of the brain which regulates movement，as well as deep-brain stimulation，which changes the electrical signals that cause symptoms.However，many people don’t respond to these treatments，particularly if their condition is advanced，says Courtine.
He and his colleagues wanted to find out whether directly stimulating the spinal cord in a person with severe Parkinson’s disease could help.The team designed the device that specifically targets neurons(神经元) in the spine that are activated when legs walk，which showed promise in non-human primates with Parkinson’s-like symptoms.To test it in a person，the researchers recruited a 62-year-old man called Marc，who has experienced Parkinson’s symptoms for around 30 years.These included pace freezing-sudden and temporary inability to move.
The researchers first had to map the neurons in Marc’s spine.This helped to guide the application of stimulators so they would only target his legs’ neurons.They then placed sensors on Marc’s legs and shoes to monitor the electrical activity of the neurons that activate the muscles in these limbs and his feet.When these sensors detected this electrical activity，they activated the stimulators.
After three months’ training using the stimulators，Marc more or less stopped experiencing pace freezing.Marc says that passing through narrow paths or turning had previously caused pace freezing，which led to him falling five or six times a day.Marc has now been using the stimulator for two years and says he hardly falls any more，allowing him to walk several kilometres at a time.
The stimulation is personalised to Marc.Nevertheless，the team thinks a similar technique could help many people.But there are at least five more years of development before the treatment will reach people outside a trial，says Courtine.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一位帕金森病患者在接受了一种刺激脊髓的装置治疗后，其行走能力得到了显著改善。虽然这项研究只基于一个患者，但研究人员认为这种方法可以帮助许多人。不过，这项治疗还需要至少五年的时间才能推广到试验之外的人群。
5．Why does Courtine’s team design the device
