第6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】本題的關鍵是看懂本段的最后一句（即："Muchfamilyquarrellingends

whenhusbandsandwivesrealizewhattheseenergycyclesmean,andwhichcycle

eachmemberofthefamilyhas.同時聯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。
