题目内容
6.Since Socrates never wrote a book,we know ______ about his philosophy.( )A. | a little | B. | little | C. | few | D. | a few |
分析 因为Socrates从来不写书,所以关于他的人生观我们几乎无从知晓.
解答 答案:B
解析:a little/few用于肯定句,表示肯定含义;little/few用于否定句,表示否定含义.本题中根据前面的never"从不"可知,我们对于他的人生观应该是"知之甚少";故A、D选项排除.关于他的人生观这一方面的"信息"是不可数名词,故C选项排除.综上,本题答案为B选项.
点评 本题考查量词的辨析,做此类题目时一定要清楚各个选项的含义及用法;再结合句意及其它要求确定最终的答案.

15.Sleep,as mysterious as it is vital for our wellbeing,is part of a person's daily physiological activity.Over the decades,researchers have proposed several mechanisms through which sleep helps us(41)C,but we still don't fully(42)Athe big picture.Now,two recently published studies come up with an interesting(43)B:we sleep to forget some of the things we learn during the day.
We store memories in networks in our brains.Whenever we learn something new,we(44)Cnew connections between neurons(神经元),called synapses(突触).In 2003,two biologists proposed something very(45)D:during the day,we learn so much and develop so many synapses that things(46)Dget ourselves confused.
For starters,they showed that neurons can prune out(修剪)some synapses,at least in the lab.But they(47)Cthe same things happens every day,naturally,in our brains-probably during(48)B.
So they set up a painstaking experiment,in which an assistant scientist collected 6,920synapses from (49)A,both awake and sleeping.Then,they(50)Athe shape and size of all these synapses,learning that the synapses in sleeping mice were 18percent smaller than in awake ones.
After this,they designed a(51)Ctest for mice.They placed the animals in a room where they would get a mild electrical shock if they walked over one particular (52)Cof the floor.They injected(注射)some of them with a substance that had been proved to prevent the pruning of new synapses.The mice that experienced this were(53)Alikely to forget about the section and after a good night's sleep,they(54)Bto walk as usual,while mice that slept normally remembered better.
Then,they found that the pruning didn't strike every neuron.Some 20% were unchanged,likely well-established memories that shouldn't be tampered with(被窜改).In other words,we sleep to(55)A-but in a smart way.
