Small dogs generally live longer than big dogs so that small Yorkshire terrier (猎狐狗) next door could be around for a long time. 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.

Biologists have proposed that temperaments (性情) evolved along with life history.【B5】______, violent animals use a lot of energy fast in【B6】______short lives, the thinking goes, whereas calmer animals last longer, saving themselves to【B7】______ later in life.

"All these breed differences reflect an experiment on artificial selection," says Vincent.【B9】______—the ability to chase foxes into holes, or herd sheep, or sit attractively on a sofa.

答案
determines
解析
语义推断题。此空所在定语从句缺少谓语,故空格处应填入动词。开篇以狗为例表明体型小的狗比体型大的狗寿命长,而本句用But转折说明狗的体型大小并不是“影响”或“决定”狗的寿命的唯一因素。结合录音,不难填人determines。
