Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 40.
"I've been sleepwalking since I was a kid," Sarah confessed, a hint of amusement in her
voice. "I remember one time, I walked right out of the house in my pajamas and slippers, and my
mom had to chase me down the street to bring me back." Sarah's experiences are far from
uncommon. Sleepwalking, or somnambulism, is a sleep disorder where individuals of every
generation engage in complex behaviors while still mostly asleep.
While it can be alarming for those who witness it, sleepwalking is generally harmless. Most
episodes occur during the deep sleep stage, known as NREM sleep. During this stage, the brain is
less active, and the body is relatively paralyzed. However, in some individuals, the paralysis
mechanism malfunctions, allowing them to move around while still asleep.
Sleepwalkers often perform routine activities, such as walking, talking, or even driving. They
may also experience sleeptalking, which is a related phenomenon where people speak while
asleep. While sleepwalking can be disruptive to a person's sleep and those around them, it rarely
poses a serious threat.
"I've tried to figure out what triggers my sleepwalking," Sarah continued. "Sometimes it seems
to happen when I'm stressed or haven't gotten enough sleep. But other times, it just seems to
happen out of the blue." While the exact causes of sleepwalking are not fully understood, stress,
fatigue, and certain medications can increase the risk.
If you or someone you know is experiencing sleepwalking, it's important to consult with a
healthcare professional. They can help determine the underlying cause and recommend
appropriate treatment. In some cases, lifestyle changes, such as improving sleep hygiene or
managing stress, may be sufficient. For more severe cases, medication or cognitive-behavioral
therapy may be helpful.
34. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Sleepwalking Phenomenon B. Sarah's Sleepwalking Adventures
C. Understanding Sleep Disorders D. The Dangers of Sleepwalking
35. The word “malfunctions” in the passage is CLOSEST in meaning to _________.
A. fails B. delays C. opposes D. drops
36. The pronoun “it” in the passage refers to _________.
A. a person’s sleep B. sleepwalking C. those around them D. a related phenomenon
37. Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?
A. Sleepwalking is a common sleep disorder that can affect people of all ages.
B. Sleepwalking episodes often occur during the deep sleep stage, known as NREM sleep.
C. Sleepwalking can be triggered by stress, fatigue, or certain medications.
D. Sleepwalking is always a sign of a serious underlying medical condition.
38. According to the passage, if you or someone you know is experiencing sleepwalking, you
should _____________
A. ignore it, as it's a normal part of sleep. B. try to wake them up immediately.
C. seek professional medical opinion. D. give them a sedative to help them sleep better.
39. The phrase “out of the blue” in the passage is OPPOSITE in meaning to __________.
A. unpredictably B. appropriately C. systematically D. tolerably
40. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. Sleepwalking is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
B. Sleepwalkers are typically aware of their surroundings and can control their actions.
C. Sleepwalking is a relatively harmless condition that can be best managed with theraphy.
D. Lifestyle changes and medical interventions can be effective treatments for sleepwalking.
