Being roused during a light phase【C8】______ you are more likely to wake up energetic. SleepSmart【C9】______ the distinct pattern of brain waves【C10】______ during each phase of sleep, via a headband equipped【C11】______ electrodes(电极)and a microprocessor. This measures the electrical activity of the wearer' s brain, in much the【C12】______ way as some machines used for medical and research【C13】______ , and communicates wirelessly with a clock unit near the bed.

单选题
【C1】
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】解析:固定搭配。wait为不及物动词,wait for是固定搭配,意为“等待”,wait for sb.to do sth.意为“等待某人做某事”。
【答案解析】解析:动词辨析。只有repeat能够更好地贴合句意,“这些睡眠阶段每90分钟重复一次”,而且后面一句in that cycle也暗示前面提及的现象是一个循环过程,故D项为正确答案。reveal意为“揭示,显示”,reverse意为“反转,颠倒”,resume意为“(中断后)重新开始,恢复”。

B
【答案解析】解析:动词辨析。本句中,how you feel later和have a greater impact是并列的谓语成分,因此所选的动词应该和impact具有相近的意思,B项affect意为“影响”,符合语境,为正确答案。effect作动词时表示“实现,使生效”,reflect意为“反映,反射”,perfect作动词时表示“使完美”,均不符合题意。

D
【答案解析】解析:上下文逻辑。经过对______how you feel later和and may______have a greater impact than…的综合分析,尤其是have a greater impact than…可知,后者程度进一步递增,D项even“甚至”表示递进,符合语境,为正确答案。
【答案解析】解析:动词辨析。during each phase of sleep作后置定语修饰brain waves,brain waves 作所填词的逻辑宾语。故首先可以排除不及物动词proceed“继续进行”和progress“进步,前进”,pronounce“发音;宣布”虽可作及物动词,但是不能用brain waves作宾语。只有produce“生产,产生”能与brain waves构成搭配,故B项为正确答案。
