One sheep, two sheep... 632 sheep... still awake...

People always believe that counting sheep1(be) helpful to their sleep. But does it2(real) work?

Scientists at Oxford University tested it. Two sleep researchers looked at the people who had3(difficult) in sleeping. They divided them4different groups. Then they asked them to try all kinds of ways to help5(they) fall asleep quickly.

Surprisingly, it6(take) those who were asked to count sheep more time to fall asleep than those who weren’t. But when they were asked to imagine a relaxing picture-- a beach, for e7, they fell asleep about twenty minutes8(soon) than before, according to a report in The New York Times.

“Sometimes, counting tasks are OK, b9they are thought as stressful by many people,” Dr. Richards told ABC News.

“As10result, it may be a good way to try imagining colored fish slowly swimming in a river to help you sleep at night,” suggested Richards.

【解析】

很多人都有睡眠问题,于是他们采取数羊的方法来使自己入睡,但这个方法有用吗?科学家经实验发现这种方法不一定管用,Richard博士告诉我们想象彩色的鱼在水里慢慢游泳,这个方法可能比较好。

1句意:人们总是相信数羊对他们的睡眠是有帮助的。这是一个主从复合句,believe后跟了一个宾语从句,从句中主语是counting sheep,动名词形式,谓语动词应用单数,短文使用了一般现在时态,故这里应填is。

2句意:但是它真的有用吗?real真的,是一个形容词。根据句意和句子结构可知,这个词修饰的是后面的动词work,故应用副词形式,填really。

3句意:两名睡眠研究人员观察了那些睡眠有困难的人。difficult困难的,是一个形容词。此处使用了句型have difficulty in doing sth.做某事有困难,故应填名词形式difficulty。

4句意:他们把他们分成不同的小组。句中divide意思是“划分”,常用于短语divide …into..分成。故这里填into。

5句意:然后他们要求这些人尝试各种各样的方法帮助自己快速睡眠。they他们,是人称代词主格形式。空前help是动词,故这里应填宾格形式them或者反身代词themselves他们自己。

6句意:令人惊讶的是,那些被要求数羊的人比那些没有被要求数羊的人要花费更多的时间入睡。take花费,是一个动词。这句话中使用了句型It takes +一段时间+to do sth.花费一段时间做某事。根据文意可知,介绍这个实验时使用的是一般过去时态,故这里应填过去式took。

7句意:但是根据《纽约时报》的报道,当他们被要求想象一幅放松的画面时—比如海滩,他们入睡就比以前快了20分钟。example例子,这里for example是固定短语,表示举例,“例如”,故这里填example。

8句意:但是根据《纽约时报》的报道,当他们被要求想象一幅放松的画面时—比如海滩,他们入睡就比以前快了20分钟。soon快,不久,根据句意和空后的than可知,这里应填比较级形式sooner。

9句意:有时候,数羊是可以的,但是很多人认为他们有压力。根据句意前半句counting tasks are OK, 和后面they are thought as stressful可知,他们之间是转折的关系,故这里填but但是。

10句意:Richard建议说:“结果,尝试想象彩色的鱼在河里慢慢游泳可能是一个帮助你睡觉的很好的方法。”这里考查了短语as a result,结果,这是句子的开头,第一个字母要大写,故填As。

这篇短文给我们介绍的是科学家对数羊这种使人们入睡的方法做的实验,证明这个方法并不一定有用。文章内容贴近学生们的日常生活,比较容易理解。题型是用所给单词的正确形式填空或填写适当的单词,考查单词在具体语境中的使用,空格后有提示词的应根据单词在句中的作用以及句中使用的句型,改变单词的形式。这种考查形式常涉及实词的用法,如名词的单复数、动词的时态、语态、非谓语动词等;没有给提示词的,应根据文意填写适当的单词。这时常考查虚词的用法,如介词、冠词、连词等。例如第2小题,所给单词real是形容词,但在句中这个词是来修饰后面的动词work的,应用副词形式,故填really。再如第9小题,考查了连词but,根据句意前半句counting tasks are OK, 和后面they are thought as stressful可知,他们之间是转折的关系故填but。
