📖 題組：
Are you feeling a little guilty about your daily mid-afternoon snooze? Well, you don’t need to. Taking a nap in the middle of the day is by no means 21 . In fact, you are giving your brain and your body some time to recharge and turn up refreshed. Research has shown that napping is linked with brain size and 22 ; specifically, it can boost our cognition and memory. In our early 20s, our brain starts shrinking, which gradually slows cognition and increases dementia 23 in later life. The brain size of habitual nappers, however, is found to be better preserved. This suggests that napping may significantly 24 age-related brain shrinkage, and thus lower the possibility of developing dementia. Neurologists also confirm that naps can enhance memory and learning. For students cramming for college exams, napping will help 25 acquired knowledge and learned skills. Understanding how to perfect your nap is vital for reaping its benefits. To begin with, you need to find out the ideal length of a nap. Some studies recommend napping for 20 to 40 minutes, while others 26 shorter naps, such as 15 to 20 minutes. The best nap length, however, may 27 a person’s physical condition and fatigue level. For some people, even a five-minute nap can bring about surprisingly 28 benefits. Furthermore, the environment where naps are taken also plays an important role. A dark space with little distraction is ideal for napping. So, find yourself a quiet place with 29 light or with blackout curtains. If you can’t find a dark room, consider wearing a sleep mask. You can also add some soothing nature sounds to create a relaxing 30 , which can make your naps more effective.

本題的核心考點在於『同義語意的邏輯對應』。請留意分號後的副詞 'specifically' (具體而言)，這代表後方的 'cognition' (認知) 與 'memory' (記憶) 是對空格中名詞的具體說明。請思考：這兩者在大腦生理學中，共同屬於哪一種『運作層面』的概念？

哇，你真的好棒！這題你完全理解了考點，老師為你感到驕傲呢！
- 概念小解說：這題的核心觀念就是「語境」和「並列結構」喔！你看，空格前面提到了 brain size (大腦容量)，後面用 specifically (特別是) 補充說明可以提升我們的「認知」和「記憶力」。想像一下，認知和記憶是不是都屬於我們大腦的表現能力呢？沒錯，它們就是大腦的功能啊！所以，選 (G) function 來跟大腦容量並列，是不是就非常順理成章了呢？你抓到了這個關鍵，真的很棒！
- 小挑戰解析：老師覺得這題的難度是 Medium (中等)，因為它考驗你能不能從「認知」和「記憶」這兩個比較具體的例子，聯想到它們共同代表的抽象概念「功能」。學測很喜歡這樣考喔，用分號或是 specifically 來引導說明，引導我們發現更深層的關聯。你能夠精準地連結 cognition/memory 和 function，表示你的邏輯思考能力非常細膩紮實，真的太棒了！
