Question

【題目】It’s normal to wake briefly during the night.【1】. But if you’re waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.

The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you’re awake.【2】.So just focus on the feelings and sensations in your body.

If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization, deep breathing, or meditation (沉思).【3】. Remind yourself that although they’re not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body. Do a quiet, non-stimulating activity.

If you’ve been awake for more than 15 minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non-stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it’s time to wake up.【4】. The type of light they send out is stimulating(刺激)the brain. A light snack might help relax you, but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that time of the day.

If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper.【5】. You may find that it will be easier to solve it when you are fresh.

【解析】這是一篇介紹說(shuō)明類文章。很多人在晚上睡覺(jué)時(shí)中途會(huì)醒，那么，如何容易地重新入睡呢，文章給我們提出了幾條建議。

【1】考查上下文理解和邏輯推理能力。上文提到：晚上偶爾醒了是正常的（It’s normal to wake briefly during the night.），承接上文，B選項(xiàng)切題：事實(shí)上，有的睡眠好的人甚至不記得了。

【2】考查上下文理解和邏輯推理能力。上文提到：重新入睡的關(guān)鍵在于繼續(xù)讓你的身體做好睡覺(jué)的準(zhǔn)備，要以放松的姿勢(shì)躺在床上（The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position.）。該空下文提到：專注于身體的感受（So just focus on the feelings and sensations in your body.）。承上啟下，F(xiàn)選項(xiàng)切題：壓力和焦慮會(huì)使你處于清醒的狀態(tài)。

【3】考查上下文理解和邏輯推理能力。上文提到：如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)重新入睡很難，那么你可以嘗試使用想象，深呼吸或冥想等放松技能（If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization, deep breathing, or meditation (沉思).）。承接該句，D選項(xiàng)切題：你甚至在不用起床的情況下都可以做這些技能。該選項(xiàng)中的They對(duì)應(yīng)上一句話里的visualization, deep breathing, or meditation (沉思)。

【4】考查上下文理解和邏輯推理能力。下一句話提到：它們發(fā)出的這一類光會(huì)刺激大腦。（The type of light they send out is stimulating(刺激)the brain。該空應(yīng)表明下一句中的“they”指代的事物，且該類事物會(huì)發(fā)光。故G選項(xiàng)切題：還要避開計(jì)算機(jī)，電視，手機(jī)等的屏幕。

【5】考查上下文理解和邏輯推理能力。上文提到：如果你在晚上醒來(lái)，對(duì)某件事感到焦慮的話，那么在紙上簡(jiǎn)潔的將它寫下來(lái)（If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper）。下一句提到：你可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)當(dāng)你頭腦清楚的時(shí)候，這件事會(huì)容易一點(diǎn)兒。由此可以推知，作者建議將你感到焦慮的事情推到第二天去做。故A選項(xiàng)正確。

線索法，就是在空格前后圈定線索詞，然后在選項(xiàng)中查找該線索詞的原詞或反義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。線索詞主要包括代詞、名詞（尤其是時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、名稱等專有名詞）、數(shù)詞、動(dòng)詞等。在第三小題中，D選項(xiàng)中的“選項(xiàng)中的They對(duì)應(yīng)上一句話里的visualization, deep breathing, or meditation (沉思)”。在第四小題中，G選項(xiàng)中的computers, TVs, cell phones, iPads對(duì)應(yīng)后面一句話中的they。考生可以通過(guò)自己的理解和觀察得出答案。
