A

In the study,99 college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a compute, trying to get through a virtual maze（迷宫）.The maze was different place each time they tired—making it even more difficult. They were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was.

For the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants stayed awake and an half were told to take a short nap .Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who took a nap were asked about their dreams before sleep and after sleep—and they were awakened within a minute of sleep to describe their dreams.

Stickgold, a neuroscientist（神经科学家）,wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren＇t moving during sleep.

Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze. Some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working ; others said they dreamed about seeing people in the maze. When these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to find the tree faster than before their naps.

Stickgold suggests the dream itself doesn‘t help a person learn—it＇s the other way around.He suspects that the dream was caused by the brain processes associated with learning.

All four of the people who dreamed about the task had done poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people who didn＇t take a nap, didn＇t show the same improvement.

31. Before having a short nap, participants of the experiment were asked to .

A. stay in a different place in the maze

B. design a virtual maze which is difficult to get through

C. experience the experiment and try to remember something

D. get through a virtual maze on a computer from the same place

32. What can we learn from the text?

A. Participants who took a nap were required to express their thoughts.

B. Some dreams may encourage people to invent something new.

C. Participants who dreamed about films could finish the task more easily.

D. Participants whose dreams had something to do with the maze could find

the tree faster.

33. According to Stickgold, .

A. every person may dream about what they learned

B. people＇s brain processes may still be connected with their learning

in their dreams

C. once people＇s eyes stop moving, they are sure to dream about something

D. no matter how fantastical or boring, dreams are connected with people＇s life

34.What is the best title for this text?

A. Dreams Are Strange B. Not All Dreams Are True

C. Dreaming Makes Perfect D. Stickgold, a Dream Expert

Farmers, especially in developing countries, are often criticized for cutting down forests. But a new study suggests that many farmers recognize the value of keeping trees.

Researchers using satellite images found at least ten percent tree cover on more than one billion hectares of farmland. That is almost half the farmland in the world. Earlier estimates were much lower but incomplete. The authors of the new study say it may still underestimate the true extent worldwide.

The study found the most tree cover in South America. Next comes Africa south of the Sahara, followed by Southeast Asia. North Africa and West Asia have the least.

The study found that climate conditions alone could not explain the amount of tree cover in different areas. Nor could the size of nearby populations, meaning people and trees can live together. There are areas with few trees but also few people, and areas with many trees and many people. The findings suggest that things like land rights, markets or government policies can influence tree planting and protection.

Dennis Garrity, who heads the World Agroforestry Center, says farmers are acting on their own to protect and plant trees. The problem, he says, is that policy makers and planners have been slow to recognize this and to support such efforts.

The satellite images may not show what the farmers are using the trees for, but trees provide nuts, fruit, wood and other products. They also help prevent soil loss and protect water supplies. Even under drought(干旱)conditions, trees can often provide food and a way to earn money until the next growing season.

35. Through the study, the researchers found that .

A. there are more trees on farmlands than expected

B. fewer trees are being cut in developing countries

C. most farmers still don’t realize the value of trees

D. trees play a key role in preventing climate change

36. Which of the following has the least tree cover?

A. Southeast Asia B. West Asia.

C. South America. D. Africa south of the Sahara.

37. In Dennis Garrity’s opinion, .

A. most farmers care about nothing but their own interests

B. there are usually few people living in areas with few trees

C. government plays a small role in tree planting and protection

D. government should support farmers in planting and protecting trees

38. The sixth paragraph mainly tells about .

A. how farmers plant trees B. what products trees can bring

C. the importance of trees to farmers D. the environmental value of tree cover
