1

11

A、Unawarenessofenergycycles.

B>Familiarmonologues.

C、Achangeinafamilymember'senergycycle.

D、Attemptstocontroltheenergycycleofotherfamilymembers.

【正确答案】A

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

whenhusbandsandwivesrealizewhattheseenergycyclesmean,andwhichcycle

eachmemberofthefamRyhas."),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。
