1、[Cl]

标准答案：M

知识点解析：空格作名词vision的定语，可能是名词、形容词或分词。本句提到睡

眠不足引发的问题，blurred符合句意，表示睡眠不足可以导致“视力模糊”。

2、[C2]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：若sleep为句子主语，空格应为副词，“睡眠容易导致暴饮暴食”句意

不通。因此空格应为名词，与sleep一起作句子主语，表示某种睡眠问题。空格所

在句的上下文都是讲睡眠不足，deprivation“缺乏”符合句意。

3、[C3]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：填入空格的词可为动词、分词或形容词，与makesb.构成“使役动词

+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。本句解释睡眠不足导致暴饮暴食的原因，即难以抵制食

物的诱惑。vulnerable“易受攻击的”可与介词lo搭配，符合句意。

4、[C4]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：空格在系动词和形容词之间，应为副词。remarkably符合句意，指出

睡眠不足时，大脑的奖励中枢会变得“非常”活跃，使人容易受碳水化合物和脂肪的

吸引。

5、[C51

标准答案：F

知识点解析：定语从句中的由at指代theexactpointofsleeplessness,可见空格应为

动词第三人称单数，作从句谓语。根据句意“研究人员并不知道睡不着到什么程度

才会……人们吃披萨饼、巧克力或其他食物的欲望"，triggers”触发，引起"符合语

义。

6、[C6]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：空格处需填入定语，修饰individualdifferences“个体差异”。本句是对

上一句的补充，说明研究人员搞不明白的原因是个体差异“很大”，此处应选

tremendouso

7、[C7]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：could表明此处应填入动词原形，且能与to搭配。空格后的toanyone

who...andtopeoplewho...提示，专家认为这些研究结果对很多人都适用，apply”适

用''符合句意。

8、[C81

标准答案：I

知识点解析：空格应填入动词，作定语从句的谓语。空格所在部分意为：也适用于

那些...失眠或睡眠障碍的人。suffer符合句意，sufferfrom意为“患（某种疾病），

为……所折磨

9、[C9]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：空格需填入名词、形容词或分词作amount的定语。根据句中的“多吃

200-500以上卡路里”可知，此处是说这些人经常没有适量的睡眠，0Ptimum”最合

适的''符合句意。

10、[C10]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：空格应填入动词原形作谓语。下文提到，在睡眠时间少于6.5小时

或6小时的情况下，你更需要的是睡觉而不是锻炼。可见，空格所在句是问：在睡

眠不足的情况下还需不需要“找”时间做运动?squeeze"挤”符合句意。

义，因此选D。

A^informthereader

B、instructthereader

C、comparetwowaysoftreatinganger

D、fbcusontheadvantageofforgiving

标准答案：B

A.Itwillbealong-termprocess.

Thefindingsarenotsolidenough.

CNWhathasbeendoneissatisfactory.

D、Moreprofoundworkneedstobedone.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：本题是针对第3段整段的主要内容。第3段首句是该段的主题句，而

在其他句子里，strengthen,improve,accelerate,bettermodeling,belleranalysis等词

也表明对于传染病的研究在各方面仍需做更深入的工作，选项D概括了作者的观

点。

29、HowwasSARSdifferentfromotherinfectiousdiseases?

A^Itspreadsfrompersontoperson.

B、Itisthelatestengineeredinfection.

C^Ittakesalongtimetoidentifythesymptoms.

D^Itmanifeststheprogressinrelevantresearch.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：末段第2句中的unusualbecause表明了SARS与其他传染病的不同之

处，选项A就是because后引出的内容，所以是本题答案。

30、ItcanbeinferredthatNIHismostprobably.

A、anorganizationofinfectedpatients

B、aresearchinstituteofinfectiousdiseases

C、aneffectivemedicinecuringinfections

D、awayofrecognizingnewdiseases
