The Ideal Husband

In the study by Daniel Kruger at the US's University of Michigan,854 subjects viewed a series of ___3____ head shots that had been digitally changed to exaggerate or minimize masculine.traits2 They then ____ 4____ questions about how they expected the men in the photos to behave.

Most participants said that those with more masculine features were ____5____ to be risky,competitive,and more apt to fight,challenge bosses,cheat on spouses and put less effort into parenting.Those with more feminine ___6___ were seen as good parents and husbands,hard workers and emotionally supportive mates.

But,despite all the negative characteristics,when asked who they would choose for a short-term relationship,women selected the more masculine

___7___ men.Brad and George,both chiseled jaws and well-defined brows,then would be good for a ___8____ romance,not for something longer.

The study was published in the December issue of the US journal Personal Relationships.

Kruger said that from an evolutionary perspective,this ___9___ sense.The key is testosterone,the hormone responsible ___10___ the development of masculine facial features and other sexual characteristics.It has been found to affect the body's ability to fight disease:men with high levels of the hormone are typically ___11___ and healthy - traits women want to pass on to their children.

However,increased testosterone has also been linked to ___12___ and violence in relationships.So,these men ___13___ produce high quality offspring,but they don't always make great parents or faithful mates,Kruger says.

The scientific community3 have ___ 14____ skepticism toward physiognomy,which links facial characteristics to certain behavioral traits.But Kruger argues that the research is a valuable tool for understanding mating strategies.And,of course,for explaining why Tony Leung and Takeshi Kanesshiro have millions of female ___15___ .It might have to do with their genes.Or something to do with ours.

答案與題解：

1.B 這四個(gè)詞的意思是：make：做；judge：判斷；date：約會(huì)；meet：見面。本文的主題是講女人找伴侶。從所在句子的表示方式的介詞短語(yǔ) by how masculine their features are（根據(jù)他們男性特征的情況），選擇judge在語(yǔ)義上比較一致。

2.C 前后兩個(gè)小句表達(dá)的是一種對(duì)比，因此用while是對(duì)的。

3.D female:女性的；beautiful：漂亮的；attractive:吸引人的；male：男性的。該提問的是：854個(gè)調(diào)查對(duì)象看了一系列什么樣的頭部鏡頭？在第一題的題解中我們說(shuō)到，本文的主題是講女人找伴侶，同時(shí)也說(shuō)到女人是根據(jù)男性的特征來(lái)選擇配偶的。因此在這四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選male是對(duì)的。

4.A answer:回答；ask:問；construct:構(gòu)造；build:建造。 該提問的是：這854個(gè)調(diào)查對(duì)象看完一系列的男性的頭部鏡頭后還要做什么？顯然，應(yīng)該是回答問題而不是提問題。因此選answered 是對(duì)的。

5.A likely:可能的；possible：可能的；probable：可能的； necessary:必然的。合適的選項(xiàng)是likely.其它的選項(xiàng)填入后生成的都是錯(cuò)誤的句子。

6.D body:軀體；hand:手；arm：手臂； face：臉。由于調(diào)查對(duì)象看的是男士的頭部，因此選face是對(duì)的。

7.C seem：好像；appear：出現(xiàn)；look：看上去；pretend:假裝。我們可以說(shuō):These men look very masculine.這些男人看上去非常男性。也可以說(shuō)these masculine looking men.因此用looking 是對(duì)的。

8.B fast：快；brief：短暫；quick：快；swift:快。這里有三個(gè)表示“快”的英文詞，肯定不是合適的選項(xiàng)。另外，緊隨其后的短語(yǔ)是重復(fù)，其中有l(wèi)onger（更長(zhǎng)一點(diǎn)）這個(gè)詞，這就提醒我們應(yīng)該用brief這個(gè)詞。

9.A make：制造； cause：使得；do：干； form:形成。make senses 是“說(shuō)得通的意思，是固定的用法。”

10.C 這四個(gè)都是介詞。responsible 后面跟for.

11.D normal：正常的； ordinary：普通的；weak：弱；strong：強(qiáng)。And是個(gè)并立詞。主意并立詞要求所銜接的詞、詞組或句子在語(yǔ)義上能匹配。可以看出“strong and healthy”是匹配的，但是“weak and healthy” 就不匹配。

12.D 這事同一個(gè)詞表現(xiàn)出的不同形態(tài)變化。Link后面的to 是介詞to 而不是不定式to,因此須用cheating.

13.B must：必須；might：可能；have to:必須； should:應(yīng)該。女人根據(jù)男人的特征選擇伴侶這只是一個(gè)因素，因此下結(jié)論應(yīng)該留有余地，用 might是比較合適的。

14.A show：顯出； tell:告訴； state:陳述； say:說(shuō)。除 shown 之外,told、stated 或said 填入后生成的句子都是錯(cuò)的。

15.B spouse：配偶； fan：狂熱仰慕者；partner：配偶； mate：伴侶。我們的世界知識(shí)告訴我們，任何人都不可能有數(shù)百萬(wàn)的配偶，所以只有fans是合適的選擇。
