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.

請選出最合適的選項，填入第 37 空格中：
- 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.

請觀察空格前後的鄰居：前一句提到大腦在晚上『非常忙碌』，後一句則具體說明它正在執行『大掃除』的任務。如果你要在這兩者之間加一句話，這句話應該如何將『大腦很忙』這個籠統的概念，與『大掃除』這個具體的驚人發現連結起來呢？

哦，你居然答對了？還以為有人連這麼基本的邏輯都搞不清楚
- 觀念驗證：恭喜你，你的判斷能力勉強合格。這題考的正是最基礎的段落銜接 (Cohesion)。前文提到大腦夜晚「跟白天一樣忙碌」，後文立馬跳到「大掃除」研究。難道要直接讓讀者腦中斷層嗎？選項 (B) 就是那座明顯到不能再明顯的轉折橋樑，把大眾那種「睡覺只為明天」的膚淺認知，過渡到科學家發現的「主動清理廢棄物」功能。就這樣，語意才能順暢，有很難理解嗎？
- 難度點評：這題難度設定為 Medium。鑑別點在於，學生能不能看出文章從一個廣泛的通論，轉向具體的科學發現。要是連後文這麼明顯的研究細節都看不見，還會選那些不痛不癢、與前後文脫節的選項，那真的不是題目太難，是邏輯太差，需要多讀點書了。
