考题讲解

题目分析:
需要看懂本题中出现的含蓄条件句。(A)(B)中的without adequate amounts of sleep=if there is no adequate amount of sleep。因此(A)(B)没有言明是谁没有足够的睡眠,(C)(D)(E)中显然是人类没有足够的睡眠。

选项分析:

A选项:由于without adequate amounts of sleep是含蓄条件句,所以该状语中没有指明是谁没有足够的睡眠。在逻辑上,只有人类没有足够的睡眠,他们才会无法记住新的知识。另外, also应改为为even。这是因为,“新学习的技术”和“新的信息”之间具有程度的区别。显然地,技术相对来说更不容易被遗忘。

B选项:本选项错误同(A)。

C选项:代词they只能指代名词或名词短语,而本选项其逻辑上的指代对象people在所有格中,其已经变成了newly acquired skills的定语,不再是名词性成分(是形容词性成分了),因此they的指代有误。

D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

E选项:the adequate amount of sleep身后的定语从句they need是赘余的。因为the adequate本身已经表示了“足够”的概念,这个足够中包含了“人类需要”的概念。另外,amount应改为amounts。由于主语people是复数,很多人不能需要同一个足够的睡眠量。
