问题     A. so that        B. preference        C. normal        D. circle        E. calls for
    F. problem        G. longer            H. cycle         I. matter        J. illustrates

    The normal human daily cycle of activity is some 7-8 hours’ sleep alternation with some 16-17 hours’ wakefulness and that the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness. Our present concern is how easily and to what extent this【C1】________can be modified.
    The question is not merely an academic one. The ease with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a【C2】________ of growing importance in industry where automation【C3】________ round-the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a【C4】________routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week. This【C5】________ that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to another,【C6】________much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.
    One answer would seem to be【C7】________periods on each shift, a month, or even three months. However, recent research has shown that people on such systems will go back to their【C8】________ habits of sleep and wakefulness during the weekend and that this is quite enough to destroy any adaptation to night work built up during the week. The only real solution appears to be to【C9】________the night shift to those permanent night workers whose【C10】________ may persist through all weekends and holidays.
【C5】
选项
答案O
解析 分析本句结构，发现主句缺少谓语，因此空格处应填入动词。This回指上一句的“企业一般每周换班一次”，空格后说“刚刚适应一种生活规律时又不得不转换成另一种”，这是对上一句的解释，词库中的动词means“意味着”符合上下文语义要求。illustrates“阐明”通常是指“通过图表阐明”，用于此空不符合语境。
