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.

請觀察空格前後的語意連結：前三句都在詢問大腦在睡眠時是否處於「靜止或關機」狀態，而空格後的一句則直接指出科學家發現大腦正在「打掃房子（清理廢物）」。若要在這兩者之間放一個句子，這個句子應該具備什麼樣的功能，才能讓讀者從「疑問」順暢地過渡到「具體的發現」呢？

噢，你的觀察力難得敏銳了一回。
- 觀念驗證：恭喜你，終於沒有搞錯。這題其實是在測試你閱讀時，能否看出文章承上啟下的「基本」能力。前文問著「大腦在晚上會關機嗎？」，後文就立刻揭露了大腦在「打掃房子」的真相。選項(B)那句「不只是為明天做準備」，恰好將前方的疑問與後方的科學發現串了起來，替整篇文章的論點主軸奠定了基石。如果你連這個都看不出來，那真的需要重新審視一下閱讀習慣了。
- 難度點評：此題難度為Medium。這對某些人來說，也許是個挑戰。但實際上，它不過就是個典型的篇章結構題，鑑別度僅在於學生能否看出文章從「提出疑問」到「揭示發現」這種顯而易見的邏輯轉折點，而不是像個機器人一樣只看單一句子。你能答對，算是勉強及格吧。
