根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
___小题1:___ But science may have just proved them right because beautiful women are more likely to have daughters than their plainer counterparts, according to a study.
As parents tend to pass on genes that determine looks, this could result in handsome men becoming rather thin on the ground. ___小题2:___ For example, Yasmin Le Bon is signed to the same modelling agency as her daughter Amber, and Jerry Hall"s daughters Elizabeth and Georgia Jagger have both taken to the catwalk.
Dr Satoshi Kanazawa, of the London School of Economics, analysed data from a survey of 17,000 babies born in Britain in March 1958 and tracked them throughout their lives. ___小题3:___ When they reached 45, they were asked about the gender of any children they had.
Those rated as attractive were equally likely to have a son or daughter as their first child  but the unattractive sorts were more likely to have a son. ___小题4:___
Dr Kanazawa believes that parents tend to produce children who benefit from their own features. ___小题5:___ So it pays for attractive women to have daughters. But couples blessed with strength and aggression rather than looks are better off having boys, as these characteristics are of more use to males.
A.Women are becoming more beautiful over the generations because attractive women have more children than plain ones.
B.Single girls have always complained that good-looking men are difficult to find.
C.Beauty is of more benefit to a woman than a man.
D.At the age of seven, their attractiveness was rated by their teachers.
E.Put another way, the beautiful women were more likely to have daughters.
F.And it may also explain why many models have daughters who follow in their fascinating footsteps.
G.Famously good-looking parents like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are more likely to have girls than uglier couples.
答案

小题1:B
小题2:F
小题3:D
小题4:E
小题5:C
解析

试题分析:
小题1:B 根据下一句But science may have just proved them right because beautiful women are more likely to have daughters than their plainer counterparts, according to a study.说明科学证明漂亮的女人生出漂亮的女儿较多。那么也就是说漂亮的男性较少了。这正和B项相符。
小题2:F 根据前句As parents tend to pass on genes that determine looks, this could result in handsome men becoming rather thin on the ground说明父母会把决定容貌的基因传给子女,那么F项的说法正确,模特的女儿通常都很漂亮,可能追随父母的脚步,继续做模特。故F项符合上下文。
小题3:D 根据下一句When they reached 45, they were asked about the gender of any children they had.说明本句是在小的时候由老师,故D项符合上下文。
小题4:E 根据前一句the unattractive sorts were more likely to have a son.说明下一句应该是与这句意思相似的,故E项正确。
小题5:C 根据下一句So it pays for attractive women to have daughters说明对女人来说容貌更重要,故C项符合上下文的串联
点评:此类文章重在把握上下文之间的逻辑关系,通过前后的意思连贯性及细致性用心的答题,定能完成的很好。

As far as I know, time is not always enough all of us. So first of all, you need to arrange your time good. You’d better to make a long-term study plan. That is to say, an one-month plan with more efforts to take up his weak subjects. And a short-term plan is equal necessary, if not more important. You have to make sure what you need to do each day, each class or even each minute. At the same time, it’s quite essential to keeping healthy. So take exercise for at least one hour and sleep for no less than seven hour a day. And don’t forget to eat well. More fruit was always right for you.

根据短文内容,从下框A~F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项,选项中有一项为多余项。
A. Don’t be afraid of risks.
B. Find ways to solve problems.
C. Learn from successful people.
D. Don’t give up easily.
E. Know the meaning of success.
F. Enjoy facing your failure.
小题1:Look around---who has the success that you envision(想象)for yourself? What are they doing? How do they approach a successful life? Become their students. Ask them for advice. Spend time around them, if you can. Learn from them. They will bring you much useful experience.
小题2:You cannot have success if you don’t know what it means to you. Set clear goals and be realistic. Your standards should be specific or else you will spend your entire time chasing after a vague goal. For example, you want to be good at your job. However, this is not a specific goal. Instead, specify this goal as: “My goal is to only be late for work five times per year, at the most.” This is a specific goal that when achieved, give you a sense of satisfaction and completion, making you feel successful and confident.
小题3:Successful people think big and act big. It can be scary to do, but if you don’t, then how will you ever be successful? Don’t wait for opportunities. Dig them out. Successful people make big investments (in their careers, in their business, in their education) and all investments involve some degree of risk. Study your risks, and be brave.
小题4:People who are successful like solving problems and answering questions. No matter where you are or what you are doing, look around and try to think of ways you can find, for example, what are people struggling with or complaining about? How can you make life easier for them in an effective way? Can you redesign or reorganize some aspects of the situation so that things can run more smoothly?
小题5:You should learn to persist. It is also the key factor to success. When asked about his 10,000 failed attempts to develop a storage battery, the prolific(多产的)American inventor Thomas Edison replied: “I have not failed; I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. So, if your first attempt didn’t work, don’t quit and don’t give up.”
