问题     Few scientific fields are as full of risk as that of research into human intelligence.  The two questions that【1】over and over again are "is it a result of nature or nurture?" and "does race make a difference?"
    Making【2】comments about the second question can be a【3】move, as James Watson, a co-discoverer of DNA structure, recently found. He suggested that he was "【4】about the prospect of Africa"【5】"all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours (white people) 【6】all the testing says not really". Such【7】are not merely【8】, they are scientifically weird. If the term race has any useful scientific meaning, then Africa, the continent where modern【9】began, is most racially diverse. The resulting【10】forced Dr Watson to leave his laboratory.
    【11】, the study of【12】between intelligence and genetics has some wiser practitioners. One of them, Terrie Moffitt, of King’s College, has just【13】a project【14】the relative importance of nature and nurture. Dr Moffitt’s team【15】the effect on intelligence of breastfeeding, but in a genetic context. Previous studies have shown that breastfed children are more intelligent,【16】about six IQ points, than those given baby formulas.
    The team, however,【17】the involvement of a gene called FADS2, which comes in two varieties, known as C and G. The researchers【18】if these two varieties【19】differently with breast milk.【20】on data two groups of people, they found that the intelligence increase associated with breastfeeding only happened to people having inherited at least one copy of the C variety. The effect did not depend on the social classes or IQs of the parents.
选项 A、polices
B、tests
C、remarks
D、questions
答案C
解析 本题需填入的名词用指示代词such修饰，由此可见，此处填入的词在上文已经出现过或此处填入的词是对上文内容的概括，上文中心是围绕making comments(发表评论)展开的内容，由此可推断出空格处填入的词应是comments的近义词，比较四个选项只有remarks符合要求，因此C选项为正确答案。
