【2】time

【3】Taking

【4】different

【5】Evening

【6】between

【7】Finally

【解析】

文章介绍了生物钟的重要性，它会告诉我们一天的什么时候大脑的状态最活跃，什么时候适合运动和吃饭等等。不同的人有不同的生物钟，所以每个人的大脑活跃时段都是不一样的。

【1】句意：近期许多研究表明，我们应该关注我们的生物钟。

根据下文“It can tell us at what time of day we are able to perform best”可知，告诉我们什么时候状态最好的应该是生物钟，body clock意为“生物钟”，故答案为clock。

【2】句意：这是因为体温在一天中升高需要时间。

根据through the day可知，体温需要在一天中慢慢升高，所以需要的是时间，故答案为time。

【3】句意：当你醒来时，洗个温水澡能帮助体温加速升高。

根据a warm shower可知，这里应该是说洗温水澡，take a shower意为“洗澡”；动词短语作主语时，动词要用动名词形式，在句首首字母大写，故答案为Taking。

【4】句意：但是每个人的生物钟不同，而且有些人有特殊的模式。

根据“…and some have special patterns.”可知，有些人的生物钟比较特殊，所以每个人的生物钟都是不一样的，用different表示“不同的”，故答案为different。

【5】句意：晚睡的人会起床晚，但他们的大脑在一天结束的时候工作状态更好。

根据上文“Morning people will get up early and work better early in the day.”可知，这里是拿早起的人和晚睡的人作对比，他们的大脑活跃的时间段不同，Morning对应的是Evening，故答案为Evening。

【6】句意：体能在下午三点到六点之间最好。

根据上文“…we are better at some activities at certain times of the day.”可知，运动的时候在特定的时间段内会表现更好，所以3pm and 6pm是一个时间段，用between…and表示“在……之间”，故答案为between。

【7】句意：最后，在我们活跃的时段吃饭最好。

前面已经提出了多种研究得出的结论，本句在文章的最后一段，所以这是最后一个结论，用Finally表示“最后”，故答案为Finally。
