题目内容
Seeing the stranger _______, the frightened baby couldn’t help ______ crying.
A.burst in; bursting into B.burst into; burst out
C.break in; bursting out D.burst into; burst out
【解析】
试题分析:burst into意思是:爆发成;突然……起来。号啕大哭是burst into tears。特别介绍几个相同意思的词组,burst out,break into均可表示“突然……起来”的意思,区别在于burst into及break into后必须接名词,而burst out后须接动名词或接into再接名词。break in 更强调破门而入。句意:这个受惊的孩子看到陌生人破门而入,情不自禁的大哭起来。
考点:break in ,burst out ,burst into 区别
点评:此类固定短语,在理解句意的基础上,要分清各个之间意思侧重的不同。这就要求学生在平时的学习中,遇到类似的题目需要将用法积累、牢记在脑海中,并且要学会举一反三,这样才能在多变的题目中找到不变的规律。
Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it’s best to sleep on a problem.They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day.
The lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, “Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences.It’s like knowing the difference between dogs and cats even if it’s hard to explain.”
The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols, reports New Scientist.They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept.They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night’s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day.They also found it easier to remember themes that the words had in common.But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake.
Prof.John Groeger, of Survey University’s Sleep Research Centre, said, “People have been trying for years to find out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative (促使康复的)value.”
“We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with them all.”
