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.

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
J
解析
动词辨析题。空格处位于must之后,缺少谓语动词,并且该词与介词for连用,因此需要填入不及物动词。该句想表达的句意为“一种理论认为,雄性必须靠竞争来赢得雌性的注意”,结合各选项,只有compete“竞争;比赛”符合题意。compete for“为……而竞争”。
