Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. It tells plants when to【C1】______ flowers and insects when to leave protective cocoon (茧)and fly away. And it tells animals and human beings when to【C2】______ , sleep and seek food. It controls our body temperatures, the【C3】______ of some hormones and even dreams.
Events【C4】______ the plant and animal affect its actions. Scientists recently found that a tiny animal called Siberian hamster changes the color of its【C5】______ because of the number of hours of【C6】______ . In shorter days of winter its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray-brown in longer【C7】______ of daylight in summer.
【C8】______signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some internal one seems to order birds to begin their【C9】______ flights two times each year. Birds prevented from flying become【C10】______ when it is time for the trip.【C11】______ they become calm again when the time of the flight has ended. A mix of outside and internal events controls some biological clocks; such things as heartbeat and the daily change from sleep to walking take place because of both external and internal signals.
Scientists are beginning to learn【C12】______ parts of the brain contain the biological clocks. A researcher at Harvard University, Dr. Martin Moore Ede, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seemed to control the【C13】______ of some of our actions. Probably there are other cells to control other body activities. He is studying【C14】______ they affect the way we do our work. Most of us have great difficulty if we【C15】______ often change to different work hours.【C16】______ can take many days for a human body to【C17】______ a major change in work hours. Industrial officials should have a better【C18】______ of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such an understanding could【C19】______ sickness and accidents at work, and would help increase【C20】______ . [br] 【C19】
选项
A、decrease
B、diminish
C、decline
D、reduce
答案
D
解析
动词辨析题。根据语意推断这句话的意思是:对生物钟的了解能够减少在工作中突发的疾病和事故。可见,这里的“减少”是人为造成的疾病和事故数量上的下降,reduce指人为地使某物在数量或重量方面的减少或降低,因此选择D。
