記憶有很大的好處”為正確選項(xiàng)。而選項(xiàng)A“夢(mèng)是如何在其過(guò)程中得到改變的“，選

項(xiàng)B“睡眠和蘇醒的區(qū)別”和選項(xiàng)D“好睡眠的功能”均不是他們分歧的觀點(diǎn)。

項(xiàng)為A"急劇活躍的腦電圖”，此題可以定位在第2自然段，且在第3、4段又再次

說(shuō)明。選項(xiàng)D”被研究者很快的反應(yīng)速度”，選項(xiàng)C“復(fù)雜的記憶模式”和選項(xiàng)D“前

39、Fromthefirstparagraphofthepassageweknowthat.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章第1段提到作者小時(shí)候經(jīng)常提出種種問(wèn)題，并對(duì)很多事感到迷

惑，由此可知B“作者過(guò)去常常對(duì)很多事情感到困惑不解”符合文意。文章第2段提

到作者的丈夫，可知A項(xiàng)不正確；C文中未提及；D文中只提及作者猜想圣誕老人

可能在每家都放置了一個(gè)錄音機(jī)，并不能判斷出錄音機(jī)的使用很普遍。

40Theword"his"in"acrosswithnailsstuckthroughhishands"(Line6,Para.1)refers

to.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

掛在十字架上的那個(gè)釘子穿過(guò)其手掌的人會(huì)幫助其他任何人?！睆亩袛喑鲞@里指

們的家人安心外，我們已將信仰問(wèn)題一帶而過(guò)。''由此可推知大多數(shù)美國(guó)家庭都會(huì)

給剛出生的嬰兒洗禮，所以選C。

42、Inthethirdparagraphtheauthorusestheexampleofthesinglemothertoindicate

thatfaith.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章第3段中作者提到的信仰對(duì)有些人來(lái)說(shuō)是一種禮物，對(duì)另一些人

來(lái)說(shuō)是一種選擇；而在舉出這位單身母親的例子時(shí)，提到她突然感到了圣靈，并感

到上帝沁入她的骨髓，這說(shuō)明信仰是一種自發(fā)的沖動(dòng)，囚此選D。
