20、的家园,而人工放置鸟巢是保护野生动物的一种方式,所以选B项。四、阅读填句1C首句指出每种动物都要睡觉，但原因仍然是个谜。接下来是具体例证，如实验室的老鼠被剥夺了睡眠，一个月内就会死亡，同样，人类如果连续几天不睡觉，就会生病。故选C。2E该段首句提出了第一个假设，睡眠帮助我们巩固新的记忆。与这个论点相呼应的例子是E项，该项中的that指代的就是前面的假设，也就是说，这个假设能够解释为什么学生在学习完如果有机会睡一觉，他们会在考试中发挥更好。3F由下段首句中的代词he可知，该空中必然包含一个人名，否则he就失去了所指对象，浏览各选项，可锁定F项和G项，但只有F项能与本段的内容衔接，也就是说，睡眠会帮助清除记忆，为新记忆腾出空间。按照研究人员Tononi的说法，“睡眠是我们为学习付出的代价”。4G该段首句说“现在我们有最直接的证据证明他的假设是对的”，那接下来应该是具体描述该证据。此外，该空后面一句话解释了实验的结果和意义。综合看来，只有G项符合语境，指出了研究团队、实验对象及实验内容。5B由最后一段第二句及空格后的“you keep what matters” (你记住要紧的事情)可知B项“这就好像是大脑在保存最重要的记忆”，符合语境。第9页（共9页）
