问题 　　Sexual selection, a mechanism of evolution that can drive the appearance of bright feathers and elaborate horns, is often assumed to operate largely among males.【B1】________a fresh look at the data suggests it is more widespread among females than many researchers【B2】________
　　It was Charles Darwin who【B3】________suggested that males often compete【B4】________other males for females to mate with-which he argued could help explain why, for instance, some male birds have【B5】________bright plumage【B6】________this makes them a more obvious【B7】________for predators.
　　More recently, biologists have begun to realize that sexual selection【B8】________widely among females too, although Tim Janicke at the Centre for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology in France and his colleagues say it is still assumed to be a【B9】________peculiarity.
　　Now, Janicke and his colleagues have【B10】________evidence of female-orientated sexual selection in 72 species across the animal kingdom from scientific literature【B11】________between 2015 and 2020. They say the analysis suggests that【B12】________for mates in females should be considered the【B13】________
　　" We believe that our view of how we see sex differences in【B14】________, and also sexual selection in particular, is still very【B15】________towards males," says Janicke.
　　The analysis shows evidence of female sexual selection in a broad【B16】________of animals.【B17】________, in various species of pike, it is the female that is more colorful, with more【B18】________to attract mates. And in some tropical wading birds, such as jacanas, females fight each other【B19】________the attention of the highest quality male. The researchers invite investigators to spend more time studying such behavior in females.
　　" Sexual selection is a process that may【B20】________any sex," says Ingrid at Uppsala University in Sweden.
【B6】
选项 A、even though
B、for fear that
C、as though
D、in case
答案[A]
解析 even though本题考查连词辨析。四个选项分别为[A]even though“即使，纵使(表示退一步设想，引导一个条件状语从句，含有不肯定的意味)”；[B]for fear that“以免”；[C]as though“仿佛，好像”；[D]in case“假使，万一”。空格6处引导了一个从句，根据主从句意思之间的逻辑关系，可知空格处引导的是一个让步状语从句。故选项[A]正确。
