【C1】______, mention of our ever increasing sleeplessness is followed by calls for earlier bedtimes【C2】______a longer night’s sleep.

选项 A、drift
B、resume
C、stray
D、shift

答案 A

解析动词辨析题。[A]drift本意为“漂流，漂移”，drift back在本句意为“又重新慢慢地入睡”，故为正确答案。[B]resume本身即有“重新开始，继续”之意，后面可接名词及动名词，此处用法不符，故排除；[C]stray意为“迷路，走失，误入歧途”，一般和from连用，故排除；[D]shift“改变，移动”，不符合文意，故排除。
