    "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.

选项 A、abandoned
B、modified
C、forgot
D、consolidated
答案 D
解析 动词辨义题。第二段有明显提示but the results of this research suggest it is possible to speed up memory consolidation。此处意在说明90分钟的小睡就可以达到巩固记忆的作用。故应选择consolidation的动词形式consolidate。abandon意为“丢弃，抛弃”，与原文意思不符；modify意为“修改”，“大脑修改记忆”说不通；forget意为“忘记”，忘记事情的时间是不可计算的，故不符合文章意思，可排除。
