36、 “high happiness” trend. “The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year， the researchers wrote。Apart from the emotional trends， researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a “c

The dominant hypothesis(假设） suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force。 But our new study done in an unusual way shows that human brain expansion is l

44、ikely driven by ecology（生态）Scientists have tested the ecological and social hypotheses before。 The common approach is to look at many species and investigate whether large brains are associated with specific problems. For example， do primates or other animals with large brains have a diet that is ch

45、allenging to find but nutritionally rewarding? This would indicate an ecological origin。 Or do they live in large groups where they face lots of social problems？While many studies have found such associations， there is a problem。 It cannot tell whether large brains evolved to solve the difficult pro

46、blems or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems.To find out the causes of brain expansion， we recreated the scenarios(可能出现的情况） of the two hypotheses using a mathematical model。 We found that a combination of ecological and social challeng

47、es do produce the brain size we see in humans. But it was ecological challenges that expanded brains。 In contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation， we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size.

53、大小是由生态环境和文化知识积累的共同作用决定的；大脑并非越大越好，如果大脑过大，则人类将无法适应社交活动.1A解析：细节理解题.根据第一段第二句“The dominant hypothesis(假设)suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force.”并结合第一段内容可知，大部分人认为棘手的社交活动是人类大脑进化的动力，故A项正确。2B解析:细节理解题.根据第三段第二句“It cannot tell whether large brains evolved to solve the difficult problems

54、or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems。”可知，传统的研究方法无法解释清楚大脑进化的原因和影响，故B项正确。3D解析：推理判断题。根据第五段第二、三句“Why dont they all have large brains？ We found that ecological problems only lead to human.sized brains when individuals can keep learning ha

55、rd skills as they grow。”可知,只有当个体在成长过程中不断学习艰难的技能时，生态环境才会影响人类特定大小的大脑。据此可推知，动物在成长过程中并没有持续学习艰难的技能，所以动物没有大的大脑，故D项正确.4B解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第四句“In contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation， we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size。可知，与主流观点及我们自己的预期相反，我们发现社会挑战导致大脑变小。据此可知，社会挑
