参考答案
正确答案:A
解析:本题属推理题,问“第四段暗含了什么意思”。作者在本段提到“Before long,however,this sort of deception may be ruinous. If the signals of offspring became totally unreliable,parents would no longer benefit from paying attention. Some evolutionary biologists have proposed that natural selection should therefore favor so-called honest advertisements.”也就是说当父母发现一些嗷叫有欺骗性时,后果很惨。当父母意识到孩子在发假信号时,他们就不再关注这些信号了、有的进化生物学家认为自然选择可能因此会有利于那些发出真实信号的孩子。在这段的最后一句,作者还提到“The mothers,in response,begin to ignore most of their babies’distress calls,since most turn out to be false alarms.”即母亲开始忽略大部分孩子的嚎叫,既然它们绝大多数是假叫,可以从中推出,母亲会关注那些发真实信号的孩子。因此,A“发真实信号的孩子可能会最终赢得母亲的关注”正确。
