根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
【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 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. |

科目:高中英語 來源:2015屆福建省晉江市高一下學(xué)期期中考試英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up(分開) with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late.
Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy!” That is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (應(yīng)得) your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase(短語) that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.
1.When the writer thinks of some of the things that happened between him and his friends, he .
A.feels happy, thinking how nice his friends are to him
B.feels he might not have understood his friend’s true feelings
C.thinks it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend
D.is sorry that his friends let him down
2.When the writer talks about the saying, “You’re a lucky dog!”, he is saying that .
A.the speaker is just friendly
B.this sentence suggests the same as “You’re a lucky guy!”
C.the word “dog” should not be used to apply to(運用到) people.
D.sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious.
3.This passage tries to tell you how to .
A.a(chǎn)void mistakes about money and friends
B.get an idea of friendly people
C.a(chǎn)void mistakes in understanding what people tell you
D.keep people friendly without trusting them
4.The writer suggests that should be trusted.
A.everybody B.nobody C.a(chǎn)ll the people D.not all the people

We can make mistakes at any age.Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul, why didn’t you pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends-or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog, ”and that’s being friendly.But “l(fā)ucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words.Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little, what he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another.It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole.But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important.It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
