Brain cells work to actively forget memories during a specific period of sleep. When we sleep our brains clear out the memories we’ve made while we’re awake, deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. Forgetting is an active process, explained the authors of the study published in the journal Science. But less is known about this process during the different periods of sleep.
They found that during the rapid eye movement (REM ) sleep period — or active sleep when we are thought to dream — special nerve cells appear to actively contribute to forgetting. What are known as melanin-concentrating hormone-producing (MCH) neurons (神经元) sit in the hypothalamus (下丘脑): a part of the brain which helps with a range of functions such as sleep, appetite and emotions. Past research has suggested these cells help to control REM sleep patterns: activating the MCH neurons increasing time spentin this period, while preventingthemreducing changes into this period.
The scientists looked at MCH cells in mice, and found 52.8 percent were active during REM sleep, compared with 35 percent when the mice were awake. Study co-author Thomas Kilduff, director of the Center for Neuroscience at SRI International, told Newsweek the team was surprised to find that mice performed better on learning and memory tasks when the MCH cells were prevented. “This result suggests that activation of the MCH neurons may affect memory — that is, MCH neurons may facilitate forgetting,” Kilduff explained.
When asked what motivated the study, Kilduff said, “We hope the work could deepen our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the neural basis of learning and memory is a huge area of neuroscience research because of its effects on our everyday lives, as well as diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Prior to this work, no one suspected that MCH neurons had anything to do with forgetting,” said Kilduff. 4. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. Forgetting is a passive process. B. The forgetting process is known to us.
C. Some memories are forgotten while we are awake. D. Certain memories are removed while we are asleep.
5. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. REM sleep patterns. B. Past researches. C. MCH neurons. D. A range of functions.
6. Why did Kilduff’s team conduct the research? A. To publish the study in the journal Science. B. To know more about Alzheimer’s disease. C. To contribute to human’s forgetting. D. To explore our everyday lives. 7. What can we know about MCH?
A. MCH cells takes control of REM sleep patterns . B. MCH neurons may disturb memory consolidation. C. MCH neurons have nothing to do with forgetting. D. MCH cells help mice performing better on learning.

During the Spring Festival, Chinese cinemas made an estimated $1.5 billion in ticket sales – 71% of takings at the American box office in all of 2020.
With cinemas shut, film-sales agent stopped bringingHollywoodmovies to market. That has given locally made films a chance to excel. Since 2013, domestic films have taken around 60% of total box office earnings. In 2021, that number may get closer to 100%.

At the age of 50, Nina Schoen expects to have a long lifeahead of her, but has thought a lot about death—and why people are so reluctant to talk about it: “It’s going to happen to all of us,” she says, “but it should be a more positive experience than the fear we put into it.”
When she first heard about a new end-of-life process that turns the body into compost (堆肥), “I was really moved by the idea,” says Schoen, who became one of the first to reserve a spot with a Seattle-based company called Recompose, the county’s first funeral home to offer human composting.
Last year Recompose began transforming bodies to soil, more formally known as natural organic reduction. Before that, end-of-life options in the U.S. were limited to burial or cremation (火化), both of which come with environmental costs—U.S. cremations alone dump 1.7 billion pounds of carbon dioxide into theatmosphere every year.
Katrina Spade pioneering the composting movement has spent a decade developing the process in hopes of offering people a greener option for death care. “I wondered, ‘What if we had a choice that helps the planet
rather than harms it?’” Spade tells PEOPLE. “To know that the last gesture you’ll make will be gentle and beneficial and it just feels like the right thing to do.”
After she had her own two sons, she began to wonder what she might do with her body after death. A friend who knew her interest in the topic reminded her that farmers sometimes compost the body of cows, and thatsparkedan idea for her theory: “If you can compost a cow, you can probably compost a human,” she thought, and she set about designing a facility to do just that.
“This is about giving people another choice,” Spade says. “At first, people react with shock—‘You really can do that?’ But so many people today are looking at their impact on the Earth. This is a popular thing because when you die, you can give back to the planet.”
12. How do people react when it comes to death according to paragraph 1? A. They are unwilling to comment. B. They can face it without fear. C. They feel it a positive experience. D. They would like to compost their bodies.
13. What can we know about the company Recompose? A. Its CEO is Katrina Spade. B. It is located in Seattle.
C. It was founded to resist cremation. D. It has spent 10 years composting bodies.
14. What does the underlined word “sparked” probably mean? A. Changed. B. Compromised. C. Quitted. D. Inspired.
15. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. A little things in our life can bring in big outcomes. B. We human beings should do all we can to help the earth. C. Composting is so popular that we should reserve a spot soon. D. We should reject burial because of its harm to environment. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Can Animals Predict Earthquakes?
The belief that animals can predict earthquakes has been around for centuries. In 373 B.C., historians recorded that some animals deserted theGreekCityof Helice in groups just days before a quake hit the place.____16____Fish moving violently and chickens that stop laying eggs were reported. Countless pet owners claimed to have witnessed their dogs and cats acting strangely before the ground shook.
____17____It was documented in news reports that three days before the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, thousands of toads (蟾蜍) appeared on the streets in Mianzhu, a city hit very hard where 2,000 people were killed. Also snakes reportedly left their homes and headed for safety several days before the destructive earthquake.
____18____Some theories are that they feel movements, or weak “shocks”, in the earth before humans do; or that they become aware of gases going out of the earth. Another belief is that animals are very much in tune with Earth’s magnetic (磁性的) field, so they detect electrical signals caused by electromagnetic field changes, causing them to pay attention to the warning that an earthquake is about to happen.
The United States Geological Survey states that there has been no concrete evidence for the fact that animal behavior has a relationship with the occurrence of an earthquake.____19____American experts on earthquakes are also skeptical. They think that animals may have strange behavior at any time due to other reasons—because they are hungry, defending their “countries”, or are about to face a dangerous situation.____20____They continue to follow the “anecdotal evidence”. The hope is that one day what they have learned will prove to be extremely useful in predicting earthquakes more accurately, thus saving millions of lives. A. Exactly what animals have sensed can’t be fully understood. B. The connection between them has never been scientifically made.
C. Other researchers around the world, however, have not given up on the idea. D. It is necessary to know if the animal behavior is an advanced warning signal. E. Records of similar animal foretelling of earthquakes have surfaced ever since. F. Wild creatures also show various kinds of abnormal reactions before earthquakes. G. Perhaps this sense that some animals appear to have can protect us from natural disasters. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）

I love doing housework. I always assist my parents in doing the dish after meals. I also water the flowers in
the yard and tidying up my own bedroom whatever necessary. In my opinion, students can benefit a lot doing some housework. Firstly, doing housework was helpful for us to be a responsible person. Also, it gives our parents more time to do what they are like and it improves the family relationship. What’s most, doing housework can be a form of mentally relaxation from study. That’s our view on housework. And hopes this can inspire more thinking on the topic!
