The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name. But Gregory Cochran is【C1】______ to say it anyway. He is that 【C2】______bird, a scientist who works independently【C3】______any institution. He helped popularize the idea that some diseases not【C4】______thought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections, which aroused much controversy when it was first suggested.
【C5】______he, however, might tremble at the【C6】______of what he is about to do. Together with another two scientists, he is publishing a paper which not only【C7】______that one group of humanity is more intelligent than the others, but explains the process that has brought this about. The group in【C8】______ are a particular people originated from central Europe. The process is natural selection.
This group generally do well in IQ test,【C9】______12-15 points above the【C10】______value of 100, and have contributed【C11】______to the intellectual and cultural life of the West, as the【C12】______of their elites, including several world-renowned scientists,【C13】______. They also suffer more often than most people from a number of nasty genetic diseases, such as breast cancer. These facts,【C14】______, have previously been thought unrelated. The former has been【C15】______to social effects, such as a strong tradition of【C16】______education. The latter was seen as a(n)【C17】______of genetic isolation. Dr. Cochran suggests that the intelligence and diseases are intimately【C18】______. His argument is that the unusual history of these people has【C19】______them to unique evolutionary pressures that have resulted in this【C20】______state of affairs.
【C20】
选项
A、paradoxical
B、incompatible
C、inevitable
D、continuous
答案
A
解析
考查形容词辨析。本句意为“这些人不同寻常的历史致使他们承受了独特的进化压力,这些压力导致了这种______的状态”。结合上文可知,this state of affairs指的是前文中“一方面,这类人作出了杰出贡献;另一方面,他们更容易患上恶性疾病”,这是两种矛盾的状态,因此选A.paradoxical“自相矛盾的”。incompatible“不相容的,不能同时成立的”;inevitable“不可避免的”;continuous“连续的,持续的”:均不符合语境。
