答案與解析

1.D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第一段最后一句可以看出正確答案是D。

2.B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第三段最后一句中“…individuals who ate closer to their melatonin onset…would have a higher percentage of body fat.”可以知道正確答案是B。

3.C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第四段最后一句“…a relationship between eating later and gaining weight per se， rather that timing of when you consume calories， relative to your own biological timing.may be an important factor for your health.”意思是“然而，這并不意味著他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了吃得晚與體重增長(zhǎng)本身的關(guān)系，而是發(fā)現(xiàn)了什么時(shí)候攝入熱量，與自己的生物鐘相比較，可能是影響健康的重要因素?！惫蔆正確。

4.A。詞義推測(cè)題。選項(xiàng)含義：A.假設(shè)；B.斷言；C.存取；D.指控。從后文中as引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句可以看出A正確。

長(zhǎng)難句分析

1. However， this didn't mean they found a relationship between eating later and gaining weight per se（本身），rather that timing of when you consume calories， relative to your own biological timing，may be an important factor for your health.然而，這并不意味著他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了吃得晚與體重增長(zhǎng)本身的關(guān)系，而是發(fā)現(xiàn)了什么時(shí)候攝入熱量，與自己的生物鐘相比較，可能是影響健康的重要因素。

這是個(gè)復(fù)合句。主句是this didn't mean...后面的賓語(yǔ)從句中又有賓語(yǔ)從句，這個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句主語(yǔ)是a relationship，謂語(yǔ)是may be，后面是表語(yǔ)，其中between后面是定語(yǔ)，rather“而不是”后面的內(nèi)容和between...and...連接的內(nèi)容并列，relative to的介詞短語(yǔ)做calories的定語(yǔ)。

2. We actually hypothesize that the mechanism driving this result is a lower amount of energy expended to break down food that is consumed during the night， as we have shown that to be true during controlled laboratory studies.我們實(shí)際上假設(shè)導(dǎo)致這一結(jié)果的機(jī)制是夜晚攝入食物時(shí)，分解食物的能量更低，在控制實(shí)驗(yàn)研究中，這一假設(shè)被證明是正確的。

這是個(gè)復(fù)合句。第一個(gè)that是hypothesize的賓語(yǔ)從句，第二個(gè)that是food的定語(yǔ)從句，as引導(dǎo)的是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，as表示“正如”之義。
