Thanks in part to technology and its constant sounding and ringing, roughly 41 million people in the United States—nearly a third of all working adults—get six hours or fewer of sleep a night, according to a recent report.
【C1】______, mention of our ever increasing sleeplessness is followed by calls for earlier bedtimes【C2】______a longer night’s sleep. But this directive may be【C3】______of the problem. 【C4】______ helping us to get more rest, the tyranny of the eight-hour block【C5】______ a narrow conception of sleep and how we should 【C6】______ it. Doctors who peddle sleep aid products and call for more sleep may【C7】______ reinforce the idea that there is something wrong about interrupted sleep【C8】______. Sleep anxiety is a common result. Some of the time we spend 【C9】______and turning may even result from 【C10】______about sleep and our bodily needs.
Thomas A. Wehr, a psychiatrist【C11】______ at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Md. , was conducting an experiment in which subjects were deprived of【C12】______ light. Without the illumination and【C13】______ from light bulbs, televisions or computers, the subjects slept【C14】______the night, at least at first. But, after a while, Dr. Wehr noticed that subjects began to wake up a little after midnight, lie awake for a couple of hours, and then【C15】______ back to sleep again.
It seemed that,【C16】______a chance to be free of modem life, the body would naturally settle into a【C17】______sleep schedule.【C18】______ they broke their conception of what form sleep should【C19】______, they looked forward to the time in the middle of the night as a chance for deep thinking of all kinds,【C20】______in the form of self-reflection or getting a jump on the next day.
【C12】
选项
A、natural
B、genuine
C、aesthetiC
D、artificial
答案
D
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、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。
