    "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.

    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. The people who took an afternoon snooze showed【C11】______improvement in their performance by that evening.

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

选项 A、Regardless
B、Apart
C、Instead
D、Inspite

答案C

解析 固定搭配题。该句又是一个对比,意在表明“不用睡6到8个小时,只需90分钟,大脑就可巩固记忆”,故应选择instead of“代替,而不是”。regardless of意为“不管,不顾”;apart不能与of构成同定搭配,但常用apart from的表达方式,意为“除……之外”;inspite of等于despite 意为“尽管”。但三者在此处均不合适,可排除。
