问题     New research conducted by brain researcher Avi Karni of the University of Haifa in Israel explores the possibility that naps help lock in sometimes fleeting long-term memories. A 90-minute daytime【C1】______. might help the most, the study finds.
    "We still don’t know the【C2】______mechanism of the memory process that occurs during sleep, but the【C3】______of this research suggest it is possible to【C4】______up memory consolidation," Karni said.
    Long-term memory【C5】______to  memories that stay with us for years, such as "what" memories -- a car accident that happened yesterday -- or " how to " memories, such as one’s learned【C6】______to play the drums.
    Karni, who【C7】______the study in a recent issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience,【C8】______participants to learn a complex thumb-tapping sequence, then【C9】______the study subjects into two groups: one that【C10】______for an hour, and one that didn’t.

【C15】______, the study also showed just how much【C16】______a 90-minute nap could help lock in long-term memories.

选项 A、enlarge
B、shorten
C、extend
D、reduce
答案 B
解析 动词辨义题。该句意在表达“午睡能够使程序性记忆在较短时间内克服干扰和遗忘。”之所以说能够在较短的时间内，是因为前文研究成果证明午睡对记忆效果有促进作用。故此处应选择shorten the time“缩短时问”。enlarge意为“扩大，扩展”，不用于与时间搭配；extend意为“延伸，扩展”，与句意相悖； reduce意为“缩减，减少”，一般不与时间连用，故都排除。
