62、new memories. You end up feeling as though youre amnesiac.A lack of sleep will lead to an increased development of a protein in the brain connected with Alzheimers disease because it is during deep sleep at night that a system within the brain starts to wash away this protein. So if youre not gettin
63、g enough sleep each and every night, more of that Alzheimers-related protein will build up. The more protein that builds up, the greater your risk of developing Alzheimer will be in later life.What are the effects of the lack of sleep on the body? We know that a lack of sleep impacts your immune sys
64、tem(免疫系统).After just one night of four to five hours of sleep, there is a 70%reduction in immune cells called natural killer cells.

So if you were to ask me what is the recycle rate of a h
69、uman being, it does seem to be about 16 hours and we need about eight hours of sleep to repair the damage of wakefulness.32.

72、一篇说明文。文章说明了睡眠不足实际上会阻止大脑产生新的记忆。你最终会觉得自己好像患有健忘症。介绍了睡眠不足对身体的不良影响。【32题详解】词义猜测题。根据上文We already know that a lack of sleep will actually prevent your brain from being able to make new memories.可知我们已经知道,睡眠不足实际上会阻止大脑产生新的记忆。由此可知,本句为上一句的结果,表示睡眠不足最终会导致你觉得自己很健忘。划线单词意思为“健忘的”。A. sleepy困倦的;B. tolerant宽容的;C. relieve
73、d放心的;D. forgetful健忘的。故选D。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中A lack of sleep will lead to an increased development of a protein in the brain connected with Alzheimers disease because it is during deep sleep at night that a system within the brain starts to wash away this protein.可知睡眠不足会导致大脑中一种与阿尔茨海默氏症有关的蛋白质的增加,因为只有在
74、晚上深度睡眠时,大脑中的系统才会开始清除这种蛋白质。由此可推知,晚上深度睡眠可以保护你免受有害蛋白质的伤害。故选C。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中How long can we actually last without sleep before we start to see worsening in your brain function? And the answer seems to be about 16 hours of wakefulness. Once you get past 16 hours of being awake, thats when we start

76、严重损害,你会像喝醉了酒的人一样行动迟缓。由此可知,当你清醒超过16个小时,你的大脑就不能正常运转了。故选A。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段We already know that a lack of sleep will actually prevent your brain from being able to make new memories. You end up feeling as though youre amnesiac.可知我们已经知道,睡眠不足实际上会阻止大脑产生新的记忆。你最终会觉得自己好像患有健忘症。结合文章主要介绍了睡眠不足对人体产生的不良影响。由此可知,B选
