A、Unawarenessofenergycycles.

B、Familiarmonologues.

C、Achangeinafamilymember'senergycycle.

D^Attemptstocontroltheenergycycleofotherfamilymembers.

【正確答案】A

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

whenhusbandsandwivesrealizewhattheseenergycyclesmean,andwhichcycle

eachmemberofthefamilyhas.z,),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」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。

A、KillingPowerofAncientVolcanicEruptions

B^AccountingfortheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

C、CalculationoftheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

D、AMassExtinction

volcanoes...；Wignall計算了這些火山的"滅絕效率"；其中killingefficiency與

killingPower意思差不多，屬于同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換，因此選擇B或C,但是accountfor意

思是：（在數(shù)量方面）占；說明（原因等）不符合句意，因此不選擇B。

yourenergy-,也就是說早上慢慢起床可以節(jié)省能量。緊接該句的三個句子都是

慢慢起床的具體做法。因此選項A是正確答案。
