A study 62.____________ experts from the London School of Economics and Political Science found that people who tend to go to bed later have 63.____________(high) IQs. 64.____________ study authors believe the root of why this is lies in our evolution—because nighttime was a more dangerous time, and our ancestors who were to stay up instead of going to sleep 65.____________(need) to be more intelligent.

第二节
解题导语】 研究表明,有熬夜习惯的人有更高的智商。
61.is rooted 解析:考查固定用法。根据语境可知,这种电影的情节可能来源于真实情况。be rooted in sth.“起源于某事物”是固定用法,且此处叙述的是一般情况,应用一般现在时,故填is rooted。
62.by 解析:考查介词。根据语境可知,此处是说一项由专家所做的研究,故填by。
63.higher 解析:考查形容词比较级。根据上下文及空前的“go to bed later”可知,这里是说睡觉更晚的人有更高的智商,故此处用high的比较级higher。
64.The 解析:考查冠词。这里特指上文提到的研究的作者们,故用定冠词The。
65.needed 解析:考查动词的时态。根据语境可知,此处叙述的是发生在过去的事情,应用一般过去时,故填needed。
66.staying 解析:考查动名词。分析句子结构可知,此处为动名词短语作主语。
67.that/which 解析:考查连接词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词a new idea,在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
68.simply 解析:考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词,故用simple的副词形式simply修饰其后的different。
69.problems 解析:考查名词的单复数。根据句意“也许他们熬夜是因为他们倾向于独处,喜欢深夜不分心来思考和解决问题”,且problem为可数名词可知,此处应用problem的复数形式,故填problems。
70.to get 解析:考查非谓语动词。remember to do sth.“记得去做某事”为固定用法,故填to get。
