1、The Ideal HusbandScience now might be able to explain women\'s fascination with Brad Pitt\'s face ａｎｄ　George Clooney\'s eyes. Women seem to judge potential mate by how masculine their features are, new research shows. Men with square jaws ａｎｄ　well-defined brow ridges are seen as good short-term partners, while those with more feminine traits such as a rounder face ａｎｄ　fuller lips are perceived as better long-term mates.In the study by Daniel Kruger at the US\'s University of Michigan, 854 subjects viewed a series of male head shots that had been digitally changed to exaggerate ｏｒminimize masculine traits. They then . answered questions about how they expected the men in the photos to behave.Most participants said that those with more masculine features were ____ to be risky, competitive, ａｎｄ　more apt to fight, challenge bosses, cheat on spouses ａｎｄ　put less effort into parenting. Those with more feminine faces were seen as good parents ａｎｄ　husbands, hard workers ａｎｄ　emotionally supportive mates.But, despite all the negative characteristics, when asked who they would choose fｏｒa short-term relationship, women selected the more masculine looking men. Brad ａｎｄ　George, both chiseled jaws ａｎｄ　well-defined brows, then would be good fｏｒa brief romance, not fｏｒsomething longer.The study was published in the December issue of the US journal Personal Relationships.Kruger said that from an evolutionary perspective, this makes sense. The key is testosterone, the hormone responsible fｏｒthe development of masculine facial features ａｎｄ　other sexual characteristics. It has been found to affect the body\'s ability to fight disease: men with high levels of the hormone are typically strong ａｎｄ　healthy- traits women want to pass on to their children.However, increased testosterone has also been linked to cheating ａｎｄ　violence in relationships. So, these men might produce high quality offspring, but they don\'t always make great parents ｏｒfaithful mates, Kruger says.The scientific community have shown skepticism toward physiognomy, which links facial characteristics to certain behavioral traits. But Kruger argues that the research is a valuable tool fｏｒunderstanding mating strategies. And, of course, fｏｒexplaining why Tony Leung ａｎｄ　Takeshi Kanesshiro have millions of female fans. It might have to do with their genes. ｏｒsomething to do with ours.【单选题】

2、Smallpox virusIt\'s now a fair bet that we will never see the total extinction of the smallpox virus. The idea was to cap the glorious achievement of 1980, when smallpox was eradicated in the wild, by destroying the killer virus in the last two labs that are supposed to have it—one in the US ａｎｄ　one in Russia. If smallpox had truly gone from the planet, what point was there in keeping these reserves?In reality, of course, it was naive to imagine that everyone would let go of such a potential weapon. Undoubtedly several nations still have a few vials. ａｎｄ　the last “official” stocks of live virus bred mistrust of the US ａｎｄ　Russia, ____ no obvious gain.Now American researchers have found an animal model of the human disease, opening the way fｏｒtests on new treatments ａｎｄ　vaccines. So one again there\'s a good reason to keep the virus—just in case the disease puts in a reappearance.How do we deal with the mistrust of the US ａｎｄ　Russia? Simple. Keep the virus under international auspices in a well-guarded UN laboratory that\'s open to all countries. The US will object, of course, just as it rejects a multilateral approach to just about everything. But it doesn\'t mean the idea is wrong. If the virus is useful, then let\'s make it the servant of all humanity—not just a part of it.【单选题】

A.since

B.for

C.because

D.of

正确答案:B

答案解析:整个句子说的是，美、俄“官方”的最后的活病毒储备由于不能带来明显的好处而引起大家对这两个国家的不信任。no?obvious?gain是名词短语。for可跟名词短语，表示原因。because不跟名词短语。since可跟名词短语，但跟表示时间的名词短语。of可跟名词短语，但常表示“所属”关系。故B为正确答案。

4、Life Expectancy in the Last Hundred YearsA hundred years ago, life expectancy in developed countries was about 47 in the early 21st century, men in the United States ａｎｄ　the United Kingdom can expect to live to about 74. Women to about 80, ａｎｄ　these ages are rising all the time. What has brought about these changes? When we look at the life span of people 100 years ago, we need to look at the greatest killers of the time. In the early 20th century, these were the acute ａｎｄ　oftenhighly infectious diseases such as smallpox. Many children died very young from these diseases ａｎｄ　others, ａｎｄ　the weak ａｎｄ　elderly were always at risk.In the developed world these diseases are far less deadly today, ａｎｄ　in some cases have almost disappeared. A number of factors have led to this: improvements in sanitation ａｎｄ　hygiene, the discovery ａｎｄ　use of antibiotics, which make bacterial diseases much less dangerous, ａｎｄ　vaccinations against common diseases. ____, people\'s general health has improved with improvements in our general environment: cleaner air, better means of preserving food, better ａｎｄ　warmer housing, ａｎｄ　better understanding of nutrition.Genetically, we should all be able to live to about 85 but while people do live longer today, there are still some big killers around that are preventing US from consistently reaching that age. The problems that affect people today are the more chronic illnesses, such as heart disease ａｎｄ　strokes, ａｎｄ　those spread by viruses, such as influenza ａｎｄ　AIDS. Of course, cancer is a huge killer as well. In most cases these diseases affect older people, but there are worrying trends in the developed world with problems such as obesity leading to more heart disease ａｎｄ　illnesses such as diabetes at younger ages.The killers today can be classed as "lifestyle diseases", which means that it may be possible to halt their progress.【单选题】

A.And

B.Therefore

C.In addition

D.Nevertheless

正确答案:C

答案解析:前面说的是对疾病的防范和控制加强，后面说的是整体环境的改善，两者为并列关系，但是and在书面语中不能这样使用，所以只能选in addition。

5、Smoking Can Increase Depressive Symptoms in TeensWhile some teenagers may puff on cigarettes to "self-medicate" against the blues, scientists at the University of Toronto ａｎｄ　the University of Montreal have found that smoking may actually increasedepressive symptoms in some teens."This observational study is one of the few to examine the perceived emotional benefits of smoking among teens," says lead researcher Michael Chaiton, a research associate at the Ontario Tobacco Research Unit of the University of Toronto." Although cigarettes may appear to have self-medicating effects ｏｒto improve mood, in the long term we found that teens who started to smoke reported higher depressive symptoms. "As part of the study, some 662 high school teenagers completed up to 20 questionnaires about their use of cigarettes to affect mood. Secondary schools were selected to provide a mix of French ａｎｄ　English participants, urban ａｎｄ　rural schools, ａｎｄ　schools located in high, moderate ａｎｄ　low socioeconomic neighborhoods. Participants were divided into three groups: never smokers; smokers who did not use cigarettes to self-medicate, improve mood ｏｒphysical state; smokers who used cigarettes to self-medicate. Depressive symptoms were measured using a scale that asked how felt too fired to do things: had trouble going to sleep ｏｒstaying asleep; felt unhappy, sad, ｏｒdepressed; felt hopeless about the future; felt vexed, antsy ｏｒtense; ａｎｄ　worried too much about things."Smokers who used cigarettes as mood ____ had higher risks of elevated depressive symptoms than teens who had never smoked," says co-researcher Jennifer O\'Loughlin, a professｏｒat the University of Montreal Department of Social ａｎｄ　Preventive Medicine. "Our study found that teen smokers who reported emotional benefits from smoking are at higher risk of developing depressive symptoms."The association between depression ａｎｄ　smoking exists principally among teens that use cigarettes to feel better. "It\'s important to emphasize that depressive symptom scores were higher among teenagers who reported emotional benefits from smoking after they began to smoke," says Dr. Chaiton.【单选题】

A.reducers

B.improvers

C.creators

D.removers

正确答案:B

答案解析:第一段和第二段都说到，抽烟缓解抑郁心情最终导致更抑郁。本句Smokers who used cigarettes as mood had higher risks of elevated depressive symptoms than teens who had never smoked. 表达的是同样的意思。文章第二段和第三段都出现improve mood，所以，mood后面要填入的词应该是improvers选项A、C、D的意义均不符合上下文。
