问题 The description of humans as having an internal clock is not a (i)________. Or rather, it is – you do not have a tiny watch in your cerebellum – but it also refers to (ii)________, a specialized bundle of cells that regulates cyclical processes.
Blank (i)    Blank (ii)
A. euphemism D. an elusive psychological phenomenon
B. cliché    E. a standard literary trope
C. metaphor  F. a real biological feature
选项
答案C,F
解析 先看空格(ii)，逻辑连接标志是逗号，表示前后同义重复。逗号前说但它指的是________，后面说它是一组专门调节节律的细胞束(a specialized bundle of cells that regulates cyclical processes)，空格(ii)与其同义对应，选项中符合这一描述的是F项a real biological feature(一个真实的生物特征)。再看空格(i)，空格(i)的解题线索实际上在第二句。第二句开头的or rather it is是个省略句，is后面省略了空格(i)。it指代的是开头的the description of humans as having an internal clock。因此，将省略的内容补充完整就是：the description of humans as having an internal clock is a________ you do not have a tiny watch in your cerebellum。破折号后明确说明人体内并没有钟表，因此前面对于人的体内有钟表的说法只能是个比喻，因此空格(i)选C项metaphor(比喻)。
