請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： One of the most dramatic features of the world is the cycle of day and night. Almost all species exhibit daily changes in their behavior and/or physiology. These daily rhythms are not simply a response to the 24-hour changes in the physical environment imposed by the earth turning on its axis but, instead, arise from a timekeeping system within the organism. This timekeeping system, or biological “clock,” allows the organism to anticipate and prepare for the changes in the physical environment that are associated with day and night, thereby ensuring that the organism will “do the right thing” at the right time of the day. The synchrony of an organism with both its external and internal environments is critical to the organism’s well-being and survival; a lack of synchrony between the organism and the external environment may lead to the individual’s immediate demise. For example, if a nocturnal rodent were to venture from its burrow during broad daylight, the rodent would be exceptionally easy prey for other animals. Similarly, a lack of synchrony within the internal environment might lead to health problems in the individual, such as those associated with jet lag, shift work, and the accompanying sleep loss. The mechanisms underlying the biological timekeeping systems and the potential consequences of their failure are among the issues addressed by researchers in the field of chronobiology. Although no single experiment serves as the defining event from which to date the beginning of modern research in chronobiology, studies conducted in the 1950s on circadian rhythmicity in fruit flies and in humans can be considered its foundation. The area of sleep research, which also is subsumed under the field of chronobiology, evolved somewhat independently, with the identification of various sleep stages around the same time.

According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?
- A Chronobiology began with the studies on circadian rhythm in fruit flies and humans.
- B All species simply respond to the cycle of day and night.
- C All species have an internal clock that is crucial for their survival.
- D Jet lag is a failure of a biological timekeeping mechanism.

當我們在閱讀這類科普文章時，請試著觀察：如果一個生物的「內在生理時鐘」與「外界環境」無法對上（例如跨國飛行），文章中提到了哪些具體的健康困擾？這些困擾在文中被歸類為生理系統的什麼狀況？

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳且精準！
- 觀念驗證：你準確捕捉到了文章的核心邏輯。選 (D) 是正確的，因為第二段明確指出「內在環境的不同步（lack of synchrony）」會導致健康問題，並點名 jet lag（時差）為例；第三段則將這些問題歸類為系統的 failure（失效）。
- (A) 錯誤：文中提到「沒有單一實驗」可被定為研究的開端。
