【解析】试题分析:文章大意:本世纪初,科学家们就已经发现人体不仅有血肉组成,还有时间。因此,根据这个发现,他们能够证明在人体内存在生物钟。
1.B 形容词辨析。根据这个发现,他们能够证明在人体内存在生物钟。be anxious to do渴望做某事,此处没有强调科学家的心理活动,故排除。be able to do 能够干某事,所以答案选B。
2.A 词义辨析。根据常识及文中第一句we’re built not just of flesh and blood but also of time.可知生物钟是在我们的体内(inside)所以答案选A。
3.D 名词辨析。空格上所缺词应与and后面的fall 构成互补关系,即用rise与fall相对,表示起伏。A.运动;B供应; C.使用 D.升起,根据句意生物钟能控制我们体内能量的起伏,选择D。
4.C 动词辨析。结合前一句话中的controls可知,生物钟能使我们每天的表现不一样。show 证明,展示,指示;treat对待;change使改变。make+宾语+宾补 使……怎么样。如选change就意为使我们发生变化,与上下文意思不符。所以答案选C。
5.D 名词辨析。“生物钟”只是科学家经过研究而得出的一种结论或观点。所以选择D idea。opinion表示个人的看法。
6.C 形容词辨析。根据空格后面的原因状语从句“因为大部分生物的生命都受一天24小时循环的控制。”可知“生物钟”这种观点并不令人惊奇(surprising),所以答案选C。其他选项A 困难的 B兴奋的 D有趣的
7.B 介词辨析。前面用的是……are controlled 被动形式,只能与by连用。句意:大部分有生命的动物都受到日夜轮回这个时间循环的控制。
8.B 形容词辨析。结合常识可知,人工作一天,到晚上应是比较劳累tired。另外,后面的fall asleep 应是由劳累引起的。dreamy多梦的,不应出现在fall asleep之前。
9.C 形容词辨析。人休息了一晚上,第二天又充满了生机lovely、和活力energetic。
10.A动词辨析。如果时间循环被打乱disturbed,大部分人就会不舒服。A. 打搅 B缩短 C重新设置 D 惹麻烦,所以答案选择A。
11.B 名词辨析。结合下一句的例子可知,此处应为人感到不舒服或者说有不愉快的感觉unpleasant feelings。A时候,时刻 B感觉;感情 C感官,意识 D 效果,影响
12.D 考查动词辨析。be used to doing something习惯于……。不习惯于在晚上工作的人如果晚上工作,工作就会做不好。其它选项不与doing连用,而是用to do动词不定式。
13.C 词意辨析。lack此处为名词,在从句中做主语,lack of sleep缺乏睡眠。B none of 一点没有;D need of 需要,
14.A 名词辨析。缺乏睡眠导致第二天工作表现不好。A perform工作;表现 B 表演;显示 C经营;管理 D 掌握;控制
15.B 词意辨析。根据后面的also可得知对应的“和……一样”用as well as答案。
16.D 动词辨析。人类的日夜循环分为两段时间:即睡眠时sleeping的时间和醒着的时间waking。
17.C 动词辨析。根据后面的longer than one day 可知,此处last“持续”。A 重复 B仍然 D发生;碰巧
18.A 动词辨析。大部分人都有这种体验,都同意(agree)这种看法。
19.D 代词辨析。上文提到了some days与之相对应的是other days即others。
