根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    【小题1】     But science may have just proved them right because beautiful women are more likely to have daughters than their plainer counterparts, according to a study.
As parents tend to pass on genes that determine looks, this could result in handsome men being rather thin on the ground.     【小题2】     For example, Yasmin Le Bon is signed to the same modelling agency as her daughter Amber, and Jerry Hall's daughters Elizabeth and Georgia Jagger have both taken to the catwalk.
Dr Satoshi Kanazawa, of the London School of Economics, analysed data from a survey of 17,000 babies born in Britain in March 1958 and tracked them throughout their lives.     【小题3】     When they reached 45, they were asked about the gender of any children they had.
Those rated as attractive were equally likely to have a son or daughter as their first child  but the unattractive sorts were more likely to have a son.     【小题4】    
Dr Kanazawa believes that parents tend to produce children who benefit from their own features.     【小题5】     So it pays for attractive women to have daughters. But couples blessed with strength and aggression rather than looks are better off having boys, as these characteristics are of more use to males.A.Women are being more beautiful over the generations because attractive women have more children than plain ones.B.Single girls have always plained that good-looking men are difficult to find.C.Beauty is of more benefit to a woman than a man.D.At the age of seven, their attractiveness was rated by their teachers.E.Put another way, the beautiful women were more likely to have daughters.
F.And it may also explain why many models have daughters who follow in their fascinating footsteps.
G.Famously good-looking parents like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are more likely to have girls than uglier couples.B

(答案→)B 
解析:
【小题1】B 根据下一句But science may have just proved them right because beautiful women are more likely to have daughters than their plainer counterparts, according to a study.说明科学证明漂亮的女人生出漂亮的女儿较多。那么也就是说漂亮的男性较少了。这正和B项相符。
【小题2】F 根据前句As parents tend to pass on genes that determine looks, this could result in handsome men being rather thin on the ground说明父母会把决定容貌的基因传给子女,那么F项的说法正确,模特的女儿通常都很漂亮,可能追随父母的脚步,继续做模特。故F项符合上下文。
【小题3】D 根据下一句When they reached 45, they were asked about the gender of any children they had.说明本句是在小的时候由老师,故D项符合上下文。
【小题4】E 根据前一句the unattractive sorts were more likely to have a son.说明下一句应该是与这句意思相似的,故E项正确。
【小题5】C 根据下一句So it pays for attractive women to have daughters说明对女人来说容貌更重要,故C项符合上下文的串联
