There was also a third,【S5】______rule, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem. The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups, half were allowed to sleep after the training while the【S6】______were forced to stay awake. They noticed that the group that had slept after the training were twice as【S7】______to figure out the third rule as the other group. "You have a memory representation in your brain of the problem you want to solve, and then you sleep. Sleep can act on the problem." Born said in a telephone interview.

选项

答案N)

解析 动词辨义题。空格前有情态动词can,后面有名词作宾语,此处应填入动词原形。文章开头提到睡眠可以让不可能解决的问题变得可以解决,此处也应该是说“良好的睡眠有助于改进人们的洞察力和解决问题的能力”,N) improve“改进,改善”符合句意。strengthen指加强和巩固原有的基础和能力,而此处文章强调睡眠会改变我们的思维和解决问题的能力。
