But body size isn’t the only factor that【B1】______how long dogs survive. Personality influences life span, too, according to a new study that might help explain how animal【B2】______evolve.

选项
答案
researches
解析
语义推断题。此空被形容词evolutionary修饰,所以应填入名词。联系上下文可知,有关这些动物“性格”进化的研究很难操作,由此推测此处应该是说明操作或研究的形式。结合录音,不难填人researches。
