    "We still don’t know the【C2】______mechanism of the memory process that occurs during sleep, but the【C3】______of this research suggest it is possible to【C4】______up memory consolidation," Karni said.
    Long-term memory【C5】______to  memories that stay with us for years, such as "what" memories -- a car accident that happened yesterday -- or " how to " memories, such as one’s learned【C6】______to play the drums.

选项 A、inclines
B、turns
C、refers
D、confers
答案C
解析 动词辨义题。考查该空前后的关系。空前内容为“长期记忆”，空后内容为“能够跟随我们多年的记忆”。可见该空前后成解释说明的关系，故此处应选朋词组refer to“指的是”。incline to意为“倾向于”；turn to sb. 意为“向某人求助”；confer意为“赠予，协议”，没有与to的搭配。
