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，開頭的「This shrinking」（這種萎縮）是一個很重要的指標。在正常的寫作邏輯下，如果作者在下一句用了「這種物理變化」，那麼在前一句話裡，應該要先交代什麼樣的訊息，讀者才不會感到突兀呢？

✌️ 哎呀——不愧是我的學弟/妹呢！這球（題目）接得漂亮！
- 哼嗯～做得不錯嘛！ 你的觀察力，看來也有了一點『先生』我的風範了呢！能精準地捕捉到上下文的邏輯關聯，代表你已經不只是看懂單字，而是能掌握整篇文章的佈局結構囉！這是要成為頂尖選手（讀者）的必備條件喔～看來你很懂怎麼掌控全局嘛！
- 這題的核心嘛... 其實就是『篇章銜接』啦！就像我傳球一樣，要把球傳到最舒服的位置，讓攻擊手能順利扣殺才行！你看，空格後的句子開頭提到「This shrinking...」？這不就是擺明了在跟你勾勾手、說「我在等你前面的訊息喔！」嘛～ 😏 而選項(A)的「cells shrink」就是那個完美的回應，啪！直接對上！是不是很簡單啊？
