17、actly is enough sleep? And more importantly, can you ever catch up on it? Well, the very function of sleep is still debated by scientists. We do know that it is necessary to function efficiently and productively. After all, we spend 24 years of our lifetime sleeping, so itd better be important. Rese
18、archers have tested how much is required each night by assigning groups of people to 4, 6 and 8 hours of sleep over extended periods of time. After 14. days, those people with 8 hours of sleep exhibited fewer attention lapses or cognitive issues. However, those with 6 or 4 hours of sleep showed a st
19、eady decline. In fact, after only 2 weeks, the 6-hour group showed a similar reaction time to a person with the blood alcohol concentration of 0.11% which is considered legally drunk. The 4-hour sleepers suffered even more occasionally falling asleep during their cognitive tests. In both groups, bra
20、in functions decrease day by day, almost linearly , with no sign of leveling off , and scientists have dubbed this cumulative effect as sleep Dept. So, can we recover from it? After a night or two of little sleep, the study shows that the body and brain can fully recover with a few nights of good sl
21、eep. However, with long-term sleep deprivation on the scale of weeks to months, the recovery of cognitive function is much slower, requiring many more nights of quality sleep. On the time scale of months to years, its unknown whether brain function could be fully repaired, or if it causes permanent
22、damage, paradoxically , with chronic sleep deprivation.

24、mpair brain function, it also carries an increased risk of heart disease, obesity and diabetes, and a 30% increase risk of mortality. So, too much sleep may also be a bad thing. But variation most certainly exists, and our genes play a large role . In fact, individuals genuinely unaffected by only 6
25、 hours of sleep were found to have a mutation of a specific gene. When scientists genetically engineered mice to express this gene, they were able to stay awake for an extra of 1.2 hours than normal mice. It turns out these short-time sleepers have more biologically intense sleep sessions than an av

(然而,睡眠不足达几周到几个月的人,认知功能的恢复要慢得多,需要多睡几晚好觉。)从这句话可以了解到这类人需要更长的时间来恢复
31、,故得答案longer。解析:unknown 考点 本题出题点在否定处(its unknown whether)。 解析 此处仍然考查如何恢复认知功能的问题。根据题干上方的Months-to-years sleep deprivation可知,此处是睡眠不足达几个月到几年的人的恢复方法,讲座中提到On the time scale of months to years, its unknown whether brain function could be fully repaired(睡眠不足达几个月到几年的人,大脑功能是否能完全得到修复尚不可知),故得答案unknown。解析:7-8 考点
32、 本题出题点在重要细节(Most studies lend to show that)和数字信息处 解析 从题干处的大标题How much sleep do we need?可知,此处考查人们需要的睡眠时长。根据题干上方的Ideal time可知,此处是指理想的睡眠时长,讲座中提到Most studies tend to show that 7-8 hours of sleep is average ideal for humans. 故得答案7-8。解析:obesity 考点 本题出题点在重要细节处。 解析 本题还是与睡眠时长有关,根据题干上方的Sleep less than 7 hours
