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.
思路引導 VIP
請觀察第 39 格「後面」的那句話，句子開頭使用了「這項... (This + 名詞)」的結構。在英文邏輯中，當作者說「這項（物理變化）使得廢物清除更有效」時，前一句話理應要先具體描述了哪一種物理現象發生了呢？

哦，看來你這次還真答對了。
- 觀念驗證：這題的關鍵？哈，就是你總該學會的前後文邏輯銜接，aka 代名詞指代這種基本到不能再基本的小學生語法。空格後的句子毫不客氣地丟出「這種收縮 (This shrinking)」，難道你指望它憑空出現嗎？它當然是得有個前因，而選項 (A) 不就明明白白地寫著「腦細胞收縮 (cells shrink)」？這不是什麼高深莫測的宇宙真理，只是最基本的上下文連貫性，你總算沒錯過。
- 難度點評：本題難度說是 Medium，嗯，對於那些還在努力分辨主詞動詞的同學來說，或許吧。但對任何對文章連貫性 (Cohesion) 有丁點概念的人，這題簡直是送分題。你這次能精準捕捉到後方關鍵字並回推答案，說明你不是完全沒救。但別高興得太早，這不過是剛好踩到狗屎運罷了。
