2018考研英语常见语法长难句解析（18）

 　Men have a long history of fighting with one another for dominance, but why such duels did not leave tribal unity in tatters and warriors less capable of working together to fend off attacks from predators and hostile clans remains a mystery. One common theory is that men more readily make up after fierce physical conflicts than do women. And an experiment run recently at Harvard University, by Joyce Benenson and Richard Wrangham, and published in Current Biology, suggests this may be true.

　　KK三步法

　　K1 定位

　　One common theory is that men more readily make up after fierce physical conflicts than do women.题干中的commonly 就可以帮助我们找到这句话!而且前一句就是题干中的结果!

　　leave tribal unity in tatters and warriors less capable of working together=题干中的tragic consequence;

　　好好看一下上一句的结构!

　　Why…is a mystery.

　　下一句就解释原因!

　　这样可以直接排除A和C，这属于典型的定位错误!

　　K2 替换

　　B选项中的reconcile=make up 和解，妥协;

　　fierce physical conflicts=duel格斗;

　　K3 排除

　　实话说第四个选项就是我在机舱里写这个题的时候胡编的一个选项，到现在我都不知道是什么意思。我就是把文中的几个词凑在一块而已。只要定位正确就能直接排除!
