问题   The idea that people might be chosen or rejected for jobs on the basis of their genes disturbs many.Such【1】may,however,be a step【2】 ,thanks to work just published in Current Biology by Derk-JanDijk and his colleagues at the University of Surrey,in England.Dr.Dijk studies the biology of time-keeping—in particular of the part of the internal body-clock that【3】people to sleep and wakes them up.One of the genes involved in【4】this clock is known as PER3 and【5】in two forms.Dr.Dijk’s work【6】that one of these forms is more conducive to night-shift work than the other.
  The two forms of PER3 7 into two slightly different proteins,one of which is longer than the other.8 work by this group showed that people with two short versions of the gene are more likely to be“owls”,【9】to get up late and go to bed late.“Larks”【10】,early risers,have two long versions.Pursuing this 11 of enquiry.Dr.Dijk and his team have been studying how such people【12】to sleep deprivation.Two dozen volunteers.some genetic owls and some genetic larks,were forced to stay awake
  for two days.The genetic larks reacted to this worse than the owls did【13】larks given memory tests and puzzles to【14】between the hours of four and eight in the morning turned【15】far worse performances than did owls.
  What 【16】that may have for employers is not fully clear Nevertheless.it is intriguing.There may【17】come a time when employers【18】night shifts will want a blood sample from【19】employees【20】 to protect themselves against negligence suits should someone have an accident.

选项 A、in case
B、that is
C、if only
D、or else

答案C

解析 考查逻辑关系。空格前阐述:实行夜班制的雇主会想要一份潜在雇员的血液样本。空格后阐述:如果发生事故,就可以避免因为失职而被起诉。if only可以表示“即使仅仅因为”,代入文中,表示原因,符合逻辑。in case“如果,假使”,that is“也就是说”,or else“要不然”,均不可接后面的“to protect…”。
