All round the world, they live longer than men. Why they should do so is not【C3】______obvious. But the same is true in many other【C4】______From lions to antelope and from sea lions to deer, males, for some reason, simply can’t go the distance.

If this theory is correct, the effect will be especially【C6】______in those varieties where males rival for the attention of lots of females. Conversely, it will be reduced or absent where they do not.

Most scholars of ageing agree that an animal’s【C7】______lifespan is set by how long it can reasonably expect to escape predation(捕食), disease, accident and damaging【C8】______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.

A)overlooked F)threatening K)spontaneous
B)upper G)undoubtedly L)devoted

D)immediately I)evident N)upright
E)clumsy J)compete O)maximum
【C10】
选项
答案

解析
形容词辨析题。空格处缺少形容词修饰the outside world。结合上下文可知,该句的句意为“外界的环境越——,这种动物的寿命也就越短”,各选项中只有threatening“带有威胁的”符合题意。
