One theory is that males must【S5】______for female attention. Females are not subject to such pressure. If this theory is correct, the effect will be especially【S6】______in those varieties where males rival for the attention of lots of females. Conversely, it will be reduced or absent where they do not.

Most scholars of ageing agree that an animal’s【S7】______lifespan is set by how long it can reasonably expect to escape predation (捕食), disease, accident and damaging【S8】______by others of its kind. If it will be killed quickly anyway, there is not much reason for evolution to divert scarce resources into keeping the machine in excellent condition.

选项
答案
D
解析
副词辨析题。空格处位于be动词和表语obvious之间,因此需填副词修饰obvious。该句想表达的意思为“世界各地女性的寿命都比男性长,但原因尚不 能 得知。”由此推断,immediately“立即,马上”符合题意。
