Sleep insufficiency makes people extra prone to illness and infection because _______.
A. it leaves people with reduced immunity
B. people do not realize the health issues associated with insufficient sleep
C. it always causes high blood pressure
D. the all-natural healing process of sleep is essential
题目解答
答案
A. it leaves people with reduced immunity
解析
本题考查睡眠不足对健康的影响,核心在于理解睡眠与免疫系统的关系。题目要求选择最直接、科学的解释。关键点在于明确睡眠不足如何削弱身体防御机制,从而增加患病风险。需注意选项中可能存在的干扰项,如意识问题或间接影响(如高血压),而非直接生理机制。
选项分析:
- 选项A(免疫力下降):
睡眠不足会直接影响免疫系统功能,导致身体对病毒、细菌的抵抗力下降。这是医学研究中已证实的直接原因,符合题干逻辑。 - 选项B(意识不足):
虽然人们对睡眠健康的认识不足可能引发问题,但“意识不到”本身并非导致患病的直接原因,属于间接因素。 - 选项C(高血压):
高血压是睡眠不足的潜在后果之一,但与感染风险无直接关联,且“always”(总是)表述过于绝对。 - 选项D(自然愈合过程):
虽然睡眠对修复重要,但选项未明确说明如何导致感染风险增加,表述笼统。
结论:选项A最直接、科学地解释了睡眠不足与易感染之间的因果关系。
