fivecentenariansliveinaveryfriendlycommunity.

A、True

B、False

【答案解析】答案选Co题目说的是"这五位百岁老人生活在一个非常友好的社

第26题【单选题】

accordingtothepassage?

A>Unawarenessofenergycycles.

B、Familiarmonologues.

C、Achangeinafamilymember'senergycycle.

D、Attemptstocontroltheenergycycleofotherfamilymembers.

【正确答案】A

12

【答案解析】本题的关键是看懂本段的最后一句（即："Muchfamilyquarrellingends

whenhusbandsandwivesrealizewhattheseenergycyclesmean,andwhichcycle

eachmemberofthefamilyhas.同时联系本段的第四句和第五句（即:"Forsome

peoplethepeakcomesduringthemorning.Forothersitcomesintheafternoonor

evening."）的意思。该句的直接意思是"如果丈夫和妻子能明白能量周期是怎么

回事，以及家庭每个成员有什么样的周期，很多家庭争吵就会停止。"也就是说，

家庭争吵的发生是因为丈夫和妻子不了解能量周期是怎么回事，更谈不上了解每

个家庭成员有什么样的能量周期了。因此A项：Unawarenessofenergycycles（不

知道能量周期）应是正确答案。

洋的其他部分分开。答案是C,因为它的第一个词是“They”，该词指“TheCaribbean

Islands"；而且在语义上也有很好的衔接。
