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、had
B、examined
C、discovered
D、suggested
答案
B
解析
空格所在句子的句意为:Moffitt博士的团队______母乳喂养对智力的影响。可见解答本题的要点是找出可以和effect(影响)搭配的谓语动词。如选择A选项和D选项,放入原句,意思别扭,首先可排除;比较B选项和C选项,B选项意为:调查研究母乳喂养对智力的影响,显然句意通顺;C选项意为:发现了母乳喂养对智力的影响,这种表达虽然句意通顺,但是根据上文的主旨,Moffitt博士的团队只是进行研究,并没有揭示研究的结果,因此该项背离文意,由此可知,B选项为正确答案。
