阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you're “hot”. That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak(高峰). For some people the peak comes during the time before afternoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later that you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do daily work in the afternoon and save taske requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
1．If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.
[ ]
A．he is a lazy person
B．he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C．he is not sure when his energy is low
D．he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
2．Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
[ ]
A．No idea of energy cycles.
B．Familiar monologues.
C．A change in a family member's energy cycle.
D．Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family member.
3．If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ________.
[ ]
A．change his energy cycle
B．overcome his laziness
C．get up earlier than usual
D．go to bed earlier
4．You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ________.
[ ]
A．help to keep your energy for the day's work
B．help you to control your temper early in the day
C．enable you to fix your mind upon your everyday work
D．keep your energy cycle under control all day
5．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
[ ]
A．Getting off to work with the least effort helps save one's energy.
B．Dr Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.
C．Habit helps a person get used to his own energy cycle.
D．Children have energy cycles, too.
题目解答
答案
解析
核心考查点：
- 理解文章主旨：文章主要介绍Dr. Kleitman的“每日能量循环”理论，解释为何不同人有不同的高效时段，并提出适应能量周期的生活建议。
- 细节推理能力：需结合上下文，判断选项是否与文章内容一致。
- 逻辑关系分析：如家庭争执的原因、如何应对低谷期等，需抓住因果关系。
破题关键：
- 能量周期的个体差异（如“peak时间不同”）是解题核心。
- 习惯的作用（如调整作息）是应对能量低谷的关键方法。
- 反向推理（如第5题需注意文章未解释“为何高峰时间不同”）。
第1题
问题：若某人难以早起，最可能的原因是什么？
关键句：
- “John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening”（某人若在下午/晚上达到高峰，则早晨处于低谷）。
选项分析： - D正确：若某人能量高峰在下午或晚上，则早晨精力不足，导致早起困难。
- A、B、C均未提及文章中的能量周期理论，属于干扰项。
第2题
问题：哪项可能导致家庭争执？
关键句：
- “Much family quarrelling ends when... realize what these energy cycles mean”（不了解能量周期会引发争执）。
选项分析： - A正确：若家庭成员不了解彼此的能量周期（如一方早晨低效、另一方要求早起），易产生矛盾。
第3题
问题：如何在早晨低谷期高效工作？
关键句：
- “rise before your usual hour... work better at your low point”（提前起床可提升低谷期效率）。
选项分析： - C正确：通过调整作息，适应低谷期的工作状态。
第4题
问题：为何建议起床时伸懒腰？
关键句：
- “Get off to a slow start which saves your energy”（缓慢起床可节省能量）。
选项分析： - A正确：缓慢起床有助于保留能量，应对全天工作。
第5题
问题：哪项陈述不正确？
关键句：
- “No one has discovered why this is so”（文章未解释为何高峰时间不同）。
选项分析： - B错误：文章未说明“为何人们在不同时间达到高峰”，仅提出现象。
