26、ay.（分数：50.00）(1).A. Originally B. TypicallyC. Strangely D. Precisely（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 副词辨析题。因为睡眠问题日趋严重，所以才有早睡、多睡这一倡导，情况一般是这样的，所以选B：Typically，意为“一般说来，通常”。A：Originally“原来，起初”、C：Strangely“不可思议地”及D：Precisely“恰好地”均不符合文意，故均排除。(2).A. but B. orC. and D. while（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 语篇衔接题。这里所说的“早睡”和“多睡”都

27、是倡导的内容，也就是，既要早睡也要睡得时间长。因此，earlier bedtimes和a longer nights sleep之间的关系是并列的，用and连接，故选C。其他三个选项均不符合原文逻辑，故排除。(3).A. part B. pointC. answer D. solution（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 名词辨析题。缺乏睡眠的问题是由多方面原因造成的，而这种倡导也是造成这个问题的部分原因，所以选A：part。B：point“点，要点”、C：answer“答案”和D：solution“解决，解答”均不符合文意，故排除。(4).A. Rather than B. Ot

28、her thanC. Less than D. Better than（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 介词短语辨析题。Rather than意为“与其说，不如；不是，而是”，符合题意，故A为正确答案。B：Other than“除以外”、C：Less than“少于”和D：Better than“比好”均不符合文意，故排除。(5).A. stimulates B. imposesC. composes D. reinforces（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 动词辨析题。此处所填动词应和conception搭配，根据句意，D：reinforces“加强，强化”为正确答

29、案。A：stimulates意为“刺激，激励”；B：imposes“强加于，强迫接受”，一般和on或upon连用；C：composes“创作，作曲”，此三项均不能和conception连用，故排除。(6).A. adopt B. approachC. approve D. identify（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 动词辨析题。B：approach有“着手于(问题、工作)”的含义，用在此处是指想办法让睡眠更好，故B：为正确答案。A：adopt“采用，采纳”、C：approve“赞同，批准”和D：identify“辨别，确认”均不符合文意，故排除。(7).A. particul

30、arly B. deliberatelyC. intentionally D. unintentionally（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 副词辨析题。医生的本意是要帮助人们得到更好的睡眠，并非有意强化错误观念，所以选D：unintentionally“无意地，非故意地”。A：particularly“特别地，尤其”、B：deliberately“蓄意地，存心地”和C：intentionally“故意地”，均可排除。(8).A. circles B. cyclesC. intervals D. periods（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 名词辨析题。根据句意可知

31、，B：cycles“周期，循环”符合文意，故为答案。A：circles“圈，圆圈”、C：intervals“间隔，距离”和D：periods“期间，时期”均不符合文意，故可排除。(9).A. tossing B. flingingC. bumping D. moving（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 动词辨析题。根据上下文可知，这里说的是睡眠焦虑的表现，即在床上辗转反侧睡不着。A：tossing可指“翻身，翻来翻去”，和后面的turning连用表示“辗转反侧”，符合文意，故为正确答案。B：flinging“用力扔，投”、C：bumping“颠簸，冲撞”和D：moving“移动”均

32、不符合文意，可以排除。(10).A. conceptions B. misconceptionsC. mistakes D. concessions（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 名词辨析题。此处谈到的睡眠焦虑显然是由错误的认知造成的，B：misconceptions“误解，错误的观念”符合文意，故为正确答案。A：conceptions“概念，观念”、C：mistakes“错误”和D：concessions“让步”均不符合文意，故排除。(11).A. then worked B. now workingC. then working D. who working（分数：2.50）

33、A.B.C.D.解析：解析 非谓语动词题。本句的谓语动词是was conducting，而working是现在分词作后置定语，修饰a psychiatrist，并且时间上是过去，不是现在，因此用then，不可用now，由此可确定C：为正确答案。同时可排除B和D；A：then worked不能作定语，故也排除。(12).A. natural B. genuineC. aesthetic D. artificial（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 形容词辨析题。从下面一句中的light bulbs，televisions，computers等词推知，这里的光(light)只能是人工的、

34、人造的，并非自然光，因此D：artificial为正确答案，同时排除A：natural“自然的，天然的”。B：genuine“真正的”和C：aesthetic“美的，美学的”都不符合文意，故排除。(13).A. direction B. distributionC. distraction D. contraction（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 名词辨析题。根据本文开头部分可推知，现代科技对人的睡眠是一种干扰，且空格后是介词from，所以C：distraction“干扰”为正确答案。A：direction“方向，指导”、B：distribution“分配”及D：contrac

35、tion“收缩，缩短”皆可排除。(14).A. on B. throughC. at D. for（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 介词辨析题。through表示“整个，自始至终”，sleep through the night：意为“睡一整夜”，符合文意，故B为正确答案。(15).A. drift B. resumeC. stray D. shift（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 动词辨析题。A：drift本意为“漂流，漂移”，drift back在本句意为“又重新慢慢地入睡”，故为正确答案。B：resume本身即有“重新开始，继续”之意，后面可接名词及动名词，此处

36、用法不符，故排除；C：stray意为“迷路，走失，误入歧途”，一般和from连用，故排除；D：shift“改变，移动”，不符合文意，故排除。(16).A. considering B. asC. given D. by（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 介词辨析题。此处的a chance to be free of modern life是一种假设或条件，C：given可表示“倘若，假定”，符合句意，故为正确答案。A：considering意为“就而论”；B：as表示“作为”；D：by“用，根据”，以上三项皆不符合文意，故排除。(17).A. scattered B. subsequ

37、entC. slipped D. split（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 形容词辨析题。此处说的是和“8小时连续睡眠”相对应的另一种睡眠模式，即不连续的睡眠、分段式的睡眠。D：split“分开的，分割的”符合文意，故为正确答案。A：scattered“分散的，散布的”、B：subsequent“随后的，其后的”和C：slipped“滑倒的”皆不符合文意，故可排除。(18).A. While B. OnceC. Since D. Though（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 语篇衔接题。根据上下文判断，此处应填表示条件的连词，B：Once“一旦”符合句意，故为正确答案

38、。A：While“当时；然而，虽然”、C：Since“自以来；因为；既然”和D：Though“尽管，虽然”皆不符合文意，故排除。(19).A. come in B. come outC. take in D. take on（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 动词短语辨析题。A：come in“开始被采用，流行起来”，符合文意，故为正确答案。B：come out，“显现；出版”、C：take in“收容；理解”和D：take on承担；呈现”均不符合文意，故排除。(20).A. which B. thatC. whether D. when（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析

39、 固定搭配题。此处只有whether能和后面的or搭配，表示“无论是还是”，故选C：whether。其他三个选项均不能与or连用，故排除。Economy, one of the principles of success in the details of housekeeping, consists not alone (1) making advantageous use of fresh material, but in carefully (2) and utilizing the left-over fragments and bits of food. Few cooks can

45、于，存在于”，由此可知，D：in符合句意，故为正确答案。经常与谓语动词consist搭配的介词是of和in，所以选项中的with和by可以排除；而consist of sth的意思是“由组成”，不符合句意，故排除。(2).A. preserving B. reservingC. conserving D. deserving（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 动词辨析题。这句话中谈的是剩余食物的保存，preserve表示“为了防止损害或变质而进行保存”，由此可知，A：preserving符合文意，故为正确答案。D：deserving的意思是“值得，应该得到”，不符合文意，故排除；reserve和conserve都有“保存”的意思，但是有所差别。reserve一般表示为了将来的或其他的用途而有所保留或保存；conserve一般表示保存自然资源、人力或精力等，因此B：reserving和C：conserving均可以排除。(3).A. such B. soC. very D. /（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 固定搭配题。由于空格部分的词语修饰的中心词为calculation，为不可数名词；such用于修饰不可数名词，因此A：为正确答案。在下文中出现了as to，由此可知，这里用到的是such/soas
