    A

    Most moods and actions are not voluntary because they are actually produced by the production of hormones in the body.

    B

    Because the effects of hormones are difficult to measure, scientists remain unsure how far-reaching their effects on moods and actions are.

    C

    When the body is not producing enough hormones, urgent treatment may be necessary to avoid psychological damage.

    D

    The influence of many hormones is not easy to measure, but they can affect both people’s psychology and actions extensively.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    原文高亮处的意思是:最普遍的荷尔蒙的影响力是不显著的,但是却很深远而且难以追踪:他们可以改变情绪,影响人类的行为,甚至会影响通常看来是自发的那些行为。A选项将句意的重点放在了情绪和行为上,但文中的句子的重点则是荷尔蒙及其作用,因此A选项错误。B选项中提到的科学家现在还不肯定荷尔蒙的影响的深远程度属于无关信息。C选项中的urgent treatment属于无关信息。D选项的意思是:荷尔蒙的影响难以衡量,但是它们可以影响人类的心理和行动。正确。
