In the cause of equal rights, feminists (女权主义者) have had much to complain about. But one striking piece of inequality has been【S1】______: lifespan. (In this area, women have the【S2】______hand. All round the world, they live longer than men. Why they should do so is not【S3】______obvious.

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. Those resources should, instead, be【S9】______to reproduction. And the more【S10】______the outside world is, the shorter the lifespan should be.

选项
答案
I
解析
形容词辨析题。空格处位于be动词和副词especially之后,因此需要形容词作表语。根据上下文可知,此句要表达的句意为“如果这种理论正确,那么在那些雄性为赢得众多雌性青睐而争夺的种群中,这种结果就会特别——”,形容词选项中只有evident“明白的,明显的”符合题意。
