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.

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 biologicaI 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.

【C10】

选项 A、ruthless
B、annoyed
C、restless
D、anxious

答案C

解析 形容词辨析题。通过下文得知,当鸟类迁徙结束后,它们又恢复以前的状态。由此判断,当迁徙时间已到,而又被阻止不能迁徙的鸟类应有的状态是“不平静的”(calm的反义词)。所以选C.restless,表示“不平静的,不安宁的”。ruthless“无情的,残忍的”;annoyed“苦恼的”;anxious“担忧的,渴望的”。
