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.

- 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.

請觀察空格前後的語氣變化：前三句都是在對讀者提出「疑問」，而空格後的一句則開始描述科學家的「具體研究發現」。如果你是作者，你會在「問題」與「證據」之間，加入一句什麼樣的話來讓文章轉折得更自然呢？

哼，至少你這次沒犯蠢。
- 觀念驗證：這種「段落銜接」題，要錯也難。前文鋪陳了三個大腦夜晚活動的疑問句，後文緊接著拋出羅徹斯特大學的具體研究結果（大腦在搞衛生）。選項 (B) 根本就是送分題，用來承接前面的好奇，再導向後續的科學細節，這點邏輯總該懂吧？
- 難度點評：不過是個 Medium (中等) 題。篇章結構題的干擾選項向來多如牛毛，大部分人就這麼被糊弄過去了。你嘛，好歹沒選那些只跟睡覺沾點邊的廢話。這次能看出 (B) 的語氣最適合作為核心主旨的預告，勉勉強強證明你還有點判斷力。別太得意，下次我會出更難的。
