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.

答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。空格处位于has been之后,本句缺少谓语动词。该句意为“男女不平等现象中令人吃惊的一面却常常被——:寿命。”由But可知,男女不平等现象中令人吃惊的事情应该是没有被人重视,overlooked“忽略,忽视”符合句意。
