问题     Nancy Jeschke’s sleeping difficulties began on vacation a few summers ago. She blamed the noisy motel room, but her sleeping did not improve at home. Instead of her usual six to seven hours a night, the 37-year-old teacher slept just three or four. "I’d toss and turn for hours, then get up and pace," she says.
    Nancy tried going to bed earlier, but the slightest noise, even her husband’s breathing, disturbed her. She drank a glass of wine at bed-time and fell asleep immediately, but was awake two hours later. Her doctor prescribed a sleeping pill for two weeks. When she stopped taking the pills, though, she slept worse than ever.
    Most of us have the occasional short period of troubled sleep and then return to normal a few nights later. However, for one in six people insomnia is a continual problem.
    Now the Johns Hopkins’ Sleep Disorders Center in Baltimore has developed a nine-step treatment to help insomniacs cure themselves. It is based on the idea that by deliberately reducing time in bed and by modifying your waking activities you will be able to sleep more soundly.
    Psychologist Richard Alien, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center, considers insomnia a 24-hour disorder. Thus, his treatment, which draws on research done by Arthur Spielman of the Sleep Disorders Center of the City College of New York, includes advice on daytime as well as bedtime behavior.
In the second sentence of Para. 5, the words "draws on" could best be replaced by______.
选项 A、makes use of
B、encourages
C、comes level with
D、comes near
答案A
解析 本题是一道词组含义类问题。问文章第五段第二句话中的词组draws on可以由下面哪个选项替代。利用查阅式阅读法，根据词组所在的上下文可知，心理学家理查德·艾伦是约翰·霍普金斯失眠治疗中心的副主任，他认为失眠症属于24小时神经失调症。因此，他的疗法借鉴了纽约城市学院失眠治疗中心亚瑟·斯毕尔曼的研究成果，包括白天的活动建议和睡眠时的注意事项。由此我们可以推知，所考词组的意思是“借鉴，引用”等含义。因此，本题的正确答案应是A“利用，借用”。
