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.

請觀察文章中關於生物如何應對晝夜變化的描述：文中提到這種行為「不只是」對環境的反應，更多是源於什麼？如果這個「內在系統」與外在環境或生物內部需求對不上時，文中舉了哪些具體的健康問題作為例子？

真是萬幸，你居然答對了。
- 觀念驗證：恭喜，你這次沒選錯。原文第二段說得清清楚楚，什麼內在環境失去同步，什麼健康問題，連時差都點名了。第三段也提到，研究人員在搞清楚生理計時系統的機制和它失效的後果。所以，把時差當成機制失效的表現？嗯，勉強說得過去。
- 難度點評：此題難度 Medium。大多數人就敗在「極端字眼」上。像 (C) 選項的「所有」和文中「幾乎所有」，一字之差，能考倒不少自以為是的。選項 (A) 把「研究基礎」硬要解讀成「確切開端」，這種腦補還真是常見。你能避開這些低級錯誤？不錯，起碼說明你不是完全沒看懂文章，展現了一點閱讀精準度，勉強及格。
