40、。2.根据常识可知喝咖啡能提神.3.研究表明,白天小憩有助于你的表现,也能让你夜晚睡得更香。此处的 during your day与句尾的 at night是相对而言的.4.本文主要讲述的是小憩的好处,再结合上题解析可知答案为 better.5.准确地说(actually),到底什么是小憩呢?该句起承上启下作用.6.这种小憩只有(no more than)20 分钟;)故选 B。误解分析: 该题容易误选 D。实际上,no more than与 short意义一致.7.这是由 or连接的并列句,前后分句谓语都是 tried。故由后一分句可判断答案.8.这几句是解释说明“nap”与“sleep”的
41、区别。9.有时醒来,你会发现比睡之前(before)感觉更糟糕。10.该句是描述 power nap的益处。allow sb. to do sth.意思是“允许某人做某事”,符合语意.11.20分钟的 nap会让你感到清爽(refreshing),改善你的记忆力。12.前面提到,power nap 时间很短,但效果奇佳。由此可知,睡眠最初几分钟效果是最佳的。13.小憩时,大脑释放出(give off)某种脑电波,让你感到神清气爽。14.15分钟休息时,不要(instead of)去吸烟,也不要去买饼干吃。就坐在椅子上,打个盹如何? 误解分析:该题容易误选 B、C。instead of doin
42、g sth.意思是“而不是做某事”,符合语境。15.由上题解析可知,该空填 how about,提出建议。16.打盹很简单,闭目(shut)养神即可。17.该句话中的 do it指的是上文提到的 take a nap。18.不要在上床睡觉前打盹,这会让你无法入睡的。依据语境, 这里用 stop sb. doing sth.结构,意思是“阻止某人做某事”。19.上面讲的都是有关 nap的小贴士(tips)。20.纵观全文,讲的是为什么坚持小睡及小睡给身体带来的好处,因此选 D。9答案及解析：12答案： My classmates and I decito do something for our

45、reat sense of chievmntsa.解析： 考査动词的时态。全文以一般过去时为主体叙事时态,故应将 decide 改为 decided 考查冠词。此处泛指“在一次激烈的讨论之后”,故应将 the改为 a。 考查代词。此处指我们的校园生活经历,故将 their改为 our。 考査并列连词。在肯定句中表示“和;并且”要用 and。 考查非谓语动词。动名词作主语,故应将 Edit改为 Editing。 考查主谓一致。动名词作主语,谓语动间用单数形式,故将 were改为 was。 考查介词。动词 debate后可接“疑问词+不定式”结构作宾语,故介词 about 多余,应刪除。 考查形容
