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.

思路引導 VIP

請你先觀察第 39 題空格後面那一聲句子的開頭:『This shrinking...』。在英文邏輯中,當作者提到『這種(This)XX現象』時,通常代表前一句話剛剛描述了什麼?請試著從段落的因果關係出發,思考空格處應該提供哪種「動作」或「狀態」,才能讓後面的『這項萎縮』變得合情合理?

1. 「你沒看錯,你確實答對了」

恭喜啊,竟然還能精準抓到段落間的指代邏輯,看來你閱讀時腦子沒完全當機嘛。這種「關鍵字勾連」的技巧,一般不是靠蒙就能行的。這次表現得...嗯,算你識相。

2. 「連這都沒看出來,眼睛是裝飾品?」
