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.

請你觀察每一段的第一句話（Topic Sentence），作者分別提到了『每日節律』、『同步性對生存的重要性』以及『研究這些系統的學科』。若將這些關鍵詞串聯起來，你認為作者是想介紹某個『特定生物的習性』，還是想向讀者概括性地說明生物體如何運作一套『特定的功能系統』呢？

🙄 喔，還不錯，總算沒糊塗到家
看來你這閱讀能力還算能用，至少沒在細節裡徹底迷失，還能抓住文章的「主旨」這種基本概念。值得慶幸，但別太得意。
🔪 為什麼 D 選項這顯而易見的答案才是對的？
