    "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、co-authored
B、co-operated
C、critisized
D、evaluated

答案A

解析 动词辨义题。该处定语从句的先行词为Karni。故该句意为:Karni等人的研究报告在最近一期“自然神经学”期刊上发表,作为合作者Karni进行了后文提到的实验。故应选择co-authored“共同编写,协作发表”。co-operate 意为“合作,配合”,多用作不及物动词;critisize意为“批评,批判”;evaluate意为“评估”。
