Line         Scientists long believed that two nerve clusters in
  the human hypothalamus, called suprachiasmatic
  nuclei (SCNs), were what controlled our circadian
  rhythms. Those rhythms are the biological cycles
(5) that recur approximately every 24 hours in
  synchronization with the cycle of sunlight and
  darkness caused by Earth’s rotation. Studies have
  demonstrated that in some animals, the SCNs
  control daily fluctuations in blood pressure, body
(10) temperature, activity level, and alertness, as well as
  the nighttime release of the sleep-promoting agent
  melatonin. Furthermore, cells in the human retina
  dedicated to transmitting information about light
  levels to the SCNs have recently been discovered.
(15)      Four critical genes governing circadian cycles
  have been found to be active in every tissue,
  however, not just the SCNs, of flies, mice, and
  humans. In addition, when laboratory rats that
  usually ate at will were fed only once a day, peak
(20) activity of a clock gene in their livers shifted by
  12 hours, whereas the same clock gene in the
  SCNs remained synchronized with light cycles. While
  scientists do not dispute the role of the SCNs in
  controlling core functions such as the regulation of
(25) body temperature and blood pressure, scientists
  now believe that circadian clocks in other organs
  and tissues may respond to external cues other than
  light—including temperature changes—that recur
  regularly every 24 hours.


题目:

The author of the passage would probably agree with which of the following statements about the SCNs?

选项:

A、The SCNs are found in other organs and tissues of the body besides the hypothalamus.
B、The SCNs play a critical but not exclusive role in regulating circadian rhythms.
C、The SCNs control clock genes in a number of tissues and organs throughout the body.
D、The SCNs are a less significant factor in regulating blood pressure than scientists once believed.
E、The SCNs are less strongly affected by changes in light levels than they are by other external cues.

答案:

B

提问:

这道题我选了D,这个是这么排除的呢?以前科学家认为SCNs是唯一控制circadian circles,后来发现还有其他4个基因。这样也能说明SCNs在控制血压方面没有科学家以前认为的那么重要。
