参考答案: B
参考解析: make做；judge判断；date约会；meet见面。本文的主题是讲女人找伴侣。从所在句子 的表示方式的介词短语by how masculine their features are（根据他们男性特征的情况），选择 judge在语义上比较一致。
前后两个句子根据句义表达的是一种对比，因此用while是对的。
female女性的；beautiful漂亮的；attractive吸引人的；male男性的。该句提问的是：854 个调查对象看了一系列的＿头部镜头？在第一题的题解中我们说到，本文的主题是 讲女人找伴侣，同时也说到女人是根据男性的特征来选择配偶的。因此在这四个选项中选 male是对的。
answer回答；ask问，;construct构造；build建造。该句意思是：这854个调查对象看完一系列的男性的头部镜头后就要 这些问题。显然，应该是回答问题而不是提问题。 因此选answered是对的。
likely可能的；possible可能的；probable很可能的（比possible的可能性要大一些）;nec- essary必然的。本题考查be likely to do（多半，很可能）的搭配。
body躯体；hand手；arm手臂；face脸。由于调查对象看的是男士的头部，故选D。
seem好像；appear出现；look看上去；pretend假装。我们可以说： These men look very masculine．这些男人看上去非常男性。也可以说these masculine looking men。故选C。
fast快（侧重速度）;brief短暂的；quick快（侧重急速，机敏）;swift快（侧重敏捷、麻利）。 这里有三个表示“快”的英文词，肯定不是合适的选项。另外，紧随其后的短语是对空白处的 解释，其中有not for...longer，这就提醒我们应该用brief这个词。
make制造；cause使得；do干；form形成。make senses"（话等）有意义，合理，有道理， 讲得通”，是固定的用法。
这四个都是介词。be responsible for是固定搭配，表示“为······负责；是造成······的原因”。
normal正常的；ordinary普通的；weak弱；strong强。and是个并列连词，表示并列或对 称关系。并列连词要求所衔接的词、词组或句子在语义上能匹配。healthy是形容词，意为“健 康的”，与strong的语义最为匹配，故选D。
空白处的前边是be linked to，表示“与······连接，相连”，其中to是介词，应接动名词形 式，故选D。
must必须；might可能；have to不得不；should应该。本句的意思是“因此，这些男人 __________会有高质量的后代······”，在下结论时应该留有余地，不应用绝对的语气，所以用 might是比较合适的。
show显出tell告诉；state陈述；say说。本句的意思是：学术界对观相术_________怀 疑的态度。除shown之外，told ,stated或said填入后生成的句子都是说不通的。故选A。
spouse配偶；fan狂热仰慕者；partner配偶；mate伴侣。本句的意思是“······有数百万的女性_________。”我们的现实生活知识告诉我们，任何人都不可能有数百万的配偶和伴侣，所 以只有fans是合适的选择。故选B。
