第3題【單選題】

【閱讀選擇］Duringthehourswhenyoulabourthroughyourworkyoumaysaythat

accordingtothepassage?

A、Unawarenessofenergycycles.

B、Familiarmonologues.

C、Achangeinafamilymember/senergycycle.

D、Attemptstocontroltheenergycycleofotherfamilymembers.

【正確答案】A

（答案解析］本題的關(guān)鍵是看懂本段的最后一句（即："Muchfamilyquarrellingends

whenhusbandsandwivesrealizewhattheseenergycyclesmean,andwhichcycle

eachmemberofthefamilyhas,同時聯(lián)系本段的第四句和第五句（即："Forsome

peoplethepeakcomesduringthemorning.Forothersitcomesintheafternoonor

evening.〃）的意思。該句的直接意思是〃如果丈夫和妻子能明白能量周期是怎么

回事，以及家庭每個成員有什么樣的周期，很多家庭爭吵就會停止J也就是說，

家庭爭吵的發(fā)生是因為丈夫和妻子不了解能量周期是怎么回事，更談不上了解每

個家庭成員有什么樣的能量周期了。因此A項：Unawarenessofenergycycles（不

知道能量周期）應是正確答案。

【正確答案】A

【答案解析】答案選A。問題句說〃迄今為止在美國沒有一個女人曾經(jīng)被選舉為

總統(tǒng)”。本段說的是“1969年，美國總統(tǒng)RichardNixon很有信心地預測：’在下一

個50年里，我們將會看見一個女總統(tǒng)，這或許比你想象的更快些'。今天距離

Nixon總統(tǒng)給出的最終期限已經(jīng)不遠了，美國人現(xiàn)在正關(guān)注這可能性〃。相鄰語句

的句意相關(guān)，顯然，定冠詞結(jié)構(gòu)"thepossiNlity"指答案相關(guān)句中提到的"可能出現(xiàn)

美國女總統(tǒng)從該句中可以推斷出〃從1969年到現(xiàn)在為止，美國還沒有出現(xiàn)女

總統(tǒng)〃。因此問題句提供了正確信息。
