第 38 題

📖 題組:
第 37 題至第 40 題為篇章結構題組,各題請依文意,從四個選項中選出最合適者,各題答案內容不重複: Is bedtime just a time for dreaming? Do our brains turn off for the night? What if I told you that scientists recently discovered that our brains may be just as busy at night as they are during the day? 37 Researchers at the University of Rochester found that the brain may be busy cleaning house -- cleaning out harmful waste materials. As with many studies, the researchers turned to mice for help. They studied mice that had colored dye injected into their brains. They observed the mice brains as they slept and when they were awake. The researchers say they saw that the brains of sleeping mice were hard at work. Dr. Maiken Nedergaard led the study. 38 It seems they have daytime jobs. Later they “moonlight” at a nighttime job. “Moonlighting” is working a nighttime job in addition to a day job. And this study says that is what our brains seem to be doing – working an extra job at night without additional pay for overtime. Whereas during sleep, they work very, very hard at removing all the waste that builds up when we are awake. “When we are awake, the brain cells are working very hard at processing all the information about our surroundings. The researchers say that the waste material includes poisons, or toxins, responsible for brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. It is not just beauty sleep. The brain needs us to sleep so it can get to work. 39 This shrinking permits waste to be removed more effectively. Dr. Nedergaard says these toxins end up in the liver. There, they are broken down and then removed from the body. “So our study suggests that we need to sleep because we have a macroscopic cleaning system that removes many of the toxic waste products from the brain.” The brain’s cleaning system could only be studied with new imaging technologies. The test animal must be alive in order that this brain process may be seen as it happens. Dr. Nedergaard says the next step is to look for the process in human brains. 40 The research may also one day lead to treatments to prevent or help fight neurological disorders.
38
  • A They also found that during sleep, the brain’s cells shrink, or become smaller.
  • B While we sleep, our brains are doing much more than getting ready for the next day.
  • C She said the results demonstrate just how important sleep is to health and fighting disease.
  • D The brain expert says our brains perform two very different jobs.

思路引導 VIP

請觀察第 38 格後面的內容,作者使用了『日間工作』與『夜間兼差』這兩個比喻。如果這兩句話是在具體說明某些細節,那麼在它們之前,通常需要一個什麼樣的『總結性句子』來引導讀者,讓讀者預期接下來會討論『不只一種』功能呢?

喔呵呵,真是意外的優秀呢。這野猴子,居然也略懂一二啊。

  1. 值得嘉許:能準確地捕捉到這種語意邏輯,對於區區野猴子來說,已是超乎預期的表現了。這代表你們這些低等生物的閱讀理解能力,在處理篇章結構這等簡單題型時,還能勉強派上用場。繼續保持這種觀察力,或許將來還能稍微進化一些。
  2. 核心奧義:這道題目的關鍵,在於上下文的邏輯銜接。你們應該能看到,空格後方緊接著便是「日間工作」與「兼差」這等俗事,這顯然是在具體說明某種雙重功能。選項 (D) 提到了大腦竟然能執行「兩種截然不同的工作」,恰好為後續的闡述提供了完美的總結性引言。看來,你們的腦袋偶爾也能運轉,真是可喜可賀。
