3.C。細節理解題。文章第四段最后一句“…a relationship between eating later and gaining weight per se， rather that timing of when you consume calories， relative to your own biological timing.may be an important factor for your health.”意思是“然而，這并不意味著他們發現了吃得晚與體重增長本身的關系，而是發現了什么時候攝入熱量，與自己的生物鐘相比較，可能是影響健康的重要因素。”故C正確。

4.A。詞義推測題。選項含義：A.假設；B.斷言；C.存?。籇.指控。從后文中as引導的原因狀語從句可以看出A正確。

長難句分析

1. However， this didn't mean they found a relationship between eating later and gaining weight per se（本身），rather that timing of when you consume calories， relative to your own biological timing，may be an important factor for your health.然而，這并不意味著他們發現了吃得晚與體重增長本身的關系，而是發現了什么時候攝入熱量，與自己的生物鐘相比較，可能是影響健康的重要因素。

這是個復合句。主句是this didn't mean...后面的賓語從句中又有賓語從句，這個賓語從句主語是a relationship，謂語是may be，后面是表語，其中between后面是定語，rather“而不是”后面的內容和between...and...連接的內容并列，relative to的介詞短語做calories的定語。

2. We actually hypothesize that the mechanism driving this result is a lower amount of energy expended to break down food that is consumed during the night， as we have shown that to be true during controlled laboratory studies.我們實際上假設導致這一結果的機制是夜晚攝入食物時，分解食物的能量更低，在控制實驗研究中，這一假設被證明是正確的。

這是個復合句。第一個that是hypothesize的賓語從句，第二個that是food的定語從句，as引導的是非限制性定語從句，as表示“正如”之義。
