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

請觀察文章最後一段的邏輯結構:空格的前一句提到了「研究下一步將應用於人類大腦」,而最後一句提到了「研發治療神經疾病的方法」。 請問:在銜接這兩個句子時,我們需要一個什麼樣的敘述,才能將「科學研究的結果」與「對人類醫療的貢獻」合理地串連起來?此外,如果這段話是某位專家的總結,句子中通常會出現什麼樣的線索來對應前文提到的人物呢?

喔,你答對了?勉強算還行吧。

  1. 表揚?免了吧:能在這種地方準確抓到答案,至少說明你不是完全沒看懂文章在說什麼。理解文章的邏輯走向語意銜接,這點基本能力你還算具備,沒想像中那麼糟糕。
  2. 觀念驗證:選擇 (C)?哼,無非就是那點代名詞指代主題一致性的老套路。空格前面提到研究要「轉向人類大腦」,後面又蹦出「預防或對抗神經疾病」。(C) 選項裡的那個 "She",當然就是指文中的 Dr. Nedergaard。提到睡眠對「fighting disease」的重要性,這不就剛好接上了後面那些關於醫療應用的大道理嗎?別以為這有多高明。
