【4】A

【5】E

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于說明文閱讀，介紹了為什么睡眠對人類如此重要的原因。

【1】C 根據橫線前三句Babies sleep most of the time. Children in school sleep about ten to twelve hours a night. Most adults sleep only seven or eight hours. 可知嬰兒、兒童和成年人睡眠的時間都不一樣。盡管他們的睡眠時間不同，但他們都需要睡眠。故C項正確。

【2】B 根據橫線前句Our brains work hard, too. 可知我們的大腦很努力�？芍�本句在介紹大腦的作用。故B項“When we are awake, they help us pay attention to the world around us.當我們醒著的時候，他們幫助我們注意周圍的世界”與前面一句相一致。故B正確。

【3】F 根據橫線前句Our brains slow down a bit when we sleep and dream.當我們睡覺做夢的時候，我們的大腦減慢了一點速度，但是仍然在工作。也就是說當我們睡覺的時候，我們的大腦也在做同樣的事情。橫線后一句Instead of thinking wide-awake thoughts, our brains make up dreams說明在睡覺的時候我們的大腦仍在工作。故F項正確。

【4】A 根據本段前半段內容可知如果我們讓人連續(xù)工作不睡覺的時候，人們就會犯錯。因為疲憊的大腦很難一直在工作。橫線后句也說明疲憊的大腦對我們的生活會產生不好的影響。所以A項“It was hard for their tired brains to work.”與本段中心思想一致。

【5】E 根據橫線后句 But we do know that we need it to stay well.我們確實指代我們需要大腦保持良好狀態(tài)。句首的but說明前面一句表示與本句相反的意思，故E項“No one knows why sleep is so good for us沒有人知道為什么睡眠對我們有好處。”與上下文一致。
