【语篇导读】这是一篇介绍说明类文章。人们在刚刚醒来
时,有几分钟非常迷糊,这种现象被叫做“睡眠迷糊”。对于偶
尔的睡眠迷糊不用担心,但睡眠迷糊比较严重的人,应该寻求
专业的帮助
1.C。推理判断题。由第二段中的“ You are, to use the
technical term, suffering sleep drunkenness (2 #), those
first few confused minutes people sometimes experience
after waking, according to a just-published paper in
Neurology(神经学). For the first time, the phenomenon
has been studied in a general adult population.”可知,人们
在刚刚醒来时,有几分钟非常迷糊,这种现象被叫做“睡眠迷
糊”。研究者们首次对这种现象进行了研究。下文介绍了具
体的研究发现。故该文主要是针对患有“slep
drunkenness”的人写的。C选项正确
D。推理判断题。前两段主要介绍了什么是“ sleep
drunkenness”。第三段中,在被调查的19000人中,25%的
人去年经历过睡眠迷糊;12%的人一周至少经历一次睡眠迷
糊,故由此可以推知,睡眠迷糊这种现象比较常见。故D选
项正确
3.A。推理判断题。第四段举了几个睡眠迷糊的例子,有的人
误把闹钟当做电话;有的人半夜醒来,找不到自己家的浴室;
有的人在周六醒来,没有意识到这是周末;有人的在旅馆醒
来,分不清自己身在何处。结合选项可知,睡眠迷糊发生的
场合不一样,具体表现也不一样,故A选项正确
4.D。推理判断题。由最后一段“ For most people,and
especially if this only happens to you every once in a while
it's nothing to worry about. But for people who experience
sleep drunkenness once a week or more, you might as well
refer to professional help to have a sound sleep.”可知,对于
大部分人来说,尤其是偶尔发生睡眠迷糊的人而言,不用担
但是,对于一周至少经历一次睡眠迷糊的人而言,最好
寻求专业的帮助来获得良好的睡眠。根据最后一段内容,很
应该具体介绍一些如何能够获得良
