参考答案【正确答案：D】
细节题。本题的关键信息词Bowman’s experiment虽然在文章第五段才出来，但是第四段中已经把有吸引力的容貌对于男女的不同作用表达充分了，而第五段第一句告诉我们“This is true even in politics.”所以无论是从文章第四段中获取信息，还是看文章第五段都会得到同样的观点，即有吸引力的容貌对于女性的影响远比男性复杂。在政治层面容貌的优势反而成为阻碍。即选项D所表达的内容。

- 7 【英译汉】 When people in developing countries worry about migration, they are usually concerned at the prospect of their best and brightest departure to Silicon Valley or to hospitals and universities in the developed world. These are the kind of workers that countries like Britain, Canada and Australia try to attract by using immigration rules that privilege college graduates . Lots of studies have found that well-educated people from developing countries are particularly likely to emigrate. A big survey of Indian households in 2004 found that nearly 40% of emigrants had more than a high-school education, compared with around 3.3% of all Indians over the age of 25. This "brain drain "has long bothered policymakers in poor countries. They fear that it hurts their economies, depriving them of much-needed skilled workers who could have taught at their universities ,worked in their hospitals and come up with clever new products for their factories to make.

- 120 presidents and prime ministers will gather in New York for a UNconference on climate change. It is the first time the subject has brought somany leaders together since the ill-fated Copenhagen summit of 2009. Now, asthen, they will assert that reining in global warming is a political priority.Some may commit their governments to policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gasemissions. According to scientists, cutting carbon-dioxideemission is an essential part of reducing catastrophic risk from climatechange. Yet governments are persistently reluctant to provide estimates of howmuch carbon a policy saves. That may because, in countries where climate changeis controversial, it makes more sense to talk about the other benefits a schemeoffers rather than its effect on carbon. Or it may be that, in countries whichare enthusiastic about renewable energy, pointing out that it may not save thatmuch carbon is seen as unhelpful. Or perhaps governments think climate changeis so serious that all measures must be taken, regardless of cost.
