Question

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
___【小題1】___ But science may have just proved them right because beautiful women are more likely to have daughters than their plainer counterparts, according to a study.
As parents tend to pass on genes that determine looks, this could result in handsome men becoming rather thin on the ground. ___【小題2】___ For example, Yasmin Le Bon is signed to the same modelling agency as her daughter Amber, and Jerry Hall's daughters Elizabeth and Georgia Jagger have both taken to the catwalk.
Dr Satoshi Kanazawa, of the London School of Economics, analysed data from a survey of 17,000 babies born in Britain in March 1958 and tracked them throughout their lives. ___【小題3】___ When they reached 45, they were asked about the gender of any children they had.
Those rated as attractive were equally likely to have a son or daughter as their first child  but the unattractive sorts were more likely to have a son. ___【小題4】___
Dr Kanazawa believes that parents tend to produce children who benefit from their own features. ___【小題5】___ So it pays for attractive women to have daughters. But couples blessed with strength and aggression rather than looks are better off having boys, as these characteristics are of more use to males.

A．Women are becoming more beautiful over the generations because attractive women have more children than plain ones.

B．Single girls have always complained that good-looking men are difficult to find.

C．Beauty is of more benefit to a woman than a man.

D．At the age of seven, their attractiveness was rated by their teachers.

E.Put another way, the beautiful women were more likely to have daughters.
F.And it may also explain why many models have daughters who follow in their fascinating footsteps.
G.Famously good-looking parents like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are more likely to have girls than uglier couples.

Answer 1

【小題1】B
【小題2】F
【小題3】D
【小題4】E
【小題5】C

解析試題分析：
【小題1】B 根據(jù)下一句But science may have just proved them right because beautiful women are more likely to have daughters than their plainer counterparts, according to a study.說明科學(xué)證明漂亮的女人生出漂亮的女兒較多。那么也就是說漂亮的男性較少了。這正和B項(xiàng)相符。
【小題2】F 根據(jù)前句As parents tend to pass on genes that determine looks, this could result in handsome men becoming rather thin on the ground說明父母會(huì)把決定容貌的基因傳給子女，那么F項(xiàng)的說法正確，模特的女兒通常都很漂亮，可能追隨父母的腳步，繼續(xù)做模特。故F項(xiàng)符合上下文。
【小題3】D 根據(jù)下一句When they reached 45, they were asked about the gender of any children they had.說明本句是在小的時(shí)候由老師，故D項(xiàng)符合上下文。
【小題4】E 根據(jù)前一句the unattractive sorts were more likely to have a son.說明下一句應(yīng)該是與這句意思相似的，故E項(xiàng)正確。
【小題5】C 根據(jù)下一句So it pays for attractive women to have daughters說明對(duì)女人來(lái)說容貌更重要，故C項(xiàng)符合上下文的串聯(lián)
