Taking a Nap During the Day
Medical experts say most Americans do not get 51 sleep. They say more Americans need to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They are advising people to sleep lightly before 52 with other activities.
One study earlier this year found that persons who sleep for a few minutes during the day were less 53to die of heart disease. The study followed more than 2,300 Greek adults 54 about six years. Adults who rested for half an hour 55 three times a week had a 37 present lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who did not nap.
Study organizers said the strongest evidence was in working men. They said naps might improve 56 by mitigating tension caused by work.
Some European and Latin American businesses have supported the 57 of napping for many years. They urge people to 58 work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest briefly in their offices. They believe this reduces 59 and accidents, and 60 increases the amount of work a person can do.
Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important duties when they feel 61 And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is 62 you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effectiveness 63 the end of the day. But experts warn that a nap 64 last no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be 65

答案與解析
51 D本段第二句說“more Americans need to rest for a short period in the middle of the day”,引導我們選擇(not)enough。因為睡眠不夠,才要中午“打個盹”。選項A:文不對題。選項B:bad(sleep)與上下文不符,因為通篇文章沒有提到過,中午打盹的原因上晚上沒有睡好。選項C:明顯不合乎邏輯。“由于沒有睡不好(即:晚上睡好了),白天還要補睡一會兒”,于理說不通。所以,惟一合理的選擇是D。
52 C空格52所在句子的意思是:醫(yī)學專家建議人們在進行其它活動之前,最好小睡一會。四個選項中,只有continuing(選項C)最接近上述的理解。
53 B空格53所在的句子說的是“心臟病致死”的問題,lovely,fondly和finely分別表達“可愛”、“喜歡”和“美好”的意思,明顯不對。less likely是“可能性較低一些”的意思,選擇likely符合上下文的意思。本段最后一句說,成年人白天打盹半小時,一周三次,其心臟病致死的概率比不打盹的人要低37%。這更證實了選likely是正確的。
54 A本句的意思是,調(diào)查進行了六年。about six years之前要用表達一段時間的介詞for。介詞at和with明顯與about six years不搭配,而選項in(about six years)表達的是未來的時間,如:He will come to Beijing in one day or tw0.(他一、兩天之內(nèi)會到北京。)
55 A at first和at last明顯與本句的意思不符。若選at most(最多),本句的意思成了“成年人白天打盹半小時,一周不得超過三次,其心及臟病致死的概率比不打盹的人要低37%”,意思有點令人費解。改說成,“一周至少三次”才說得通。所以at least是答案。
56 B篇文章在闡述白天打盹有益于健康,選項B是答案。
57 C空格57所在的句子的意思是:多年來,歐洲和拉丁美洲的一些公司支持白天打盹的?(空格中填哪一個詞?)。很明顯,空格中填入experiment(試驗)或reform(改革)則離題太遠,而way(方式)肯定沒有idea(想法)好。C是答案。
58 D從上下文判斷,空格58的詞應該與“中止(work)”有關。四個選項中,只有l(wèi)eave合乎這一條件。而其它三個選項repeat(重復)、improve(改進)和change(改變)與后半旬的go home and have a nap搭不上。
59 B前面一句說,美國有些公司讓職員在辦公室打個盹,這樣可以減少些事故等。填入空格59的詞應該與accidents(事故)一樣,是一個負面意思的詞。mistakes(選項B)符合這個條件,是答案。reduce work/energy time都不合理。
60 D打個盹有兩個好處:1)可以減少錯誤和事故;2)可以增加工作效率。從上下文判斷,選also。too從詞義上說也可以,但用法上有問題,因為“…this…too increases the amount…”把too置于動詞increases之前很少見。never和seldom的意思與上下文不匹配。
61 C前半句說,“people should not carry out important duties…”,后半句自然會想到“when they feel sleepy”。而when they feel ready good happy都說不通。
62 A本句的意思是:大約20分鐘的打盹是你所需要的。所以,About twenty minutes of rest is few/any/nothing you need與上述意思不符,只有until(the end of the day)才說得通。
63 C前半句說,“(指打盹)”后面接不搭配,只有C才是答案。
64 D本句的意思是:專家警告說:打盹不能(或不應該)超過30分鐘。這題選should最合適。
65 B本句表達的意思應該是上一句“A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep”引出的結(jié)果。打盹時間長了,就會進入深睡狀態(tài),很難醒過來。選difficult是合適的,其它三個選項的意思脫離了上下文,不會是答案。
