B、Familiarmonologues.

C、Achangeinafamilymember'senergycycle.

20

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。"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(yīng)是正確答案。

【正確答案】D

山或冰川的形式存在，還有的被污染，因而實際上人類能用的水要低于3%。
