Immediately relevant to game theory are the sex ratios in certain parasitic wasp species that have a large excess of females. In these species, fertilized eggs develop into females and unfertilized eggs into males. A female stores sperm and can determine the sex of each egg she lays by fertilizing it or leaving it unfertilized. By Fisher‘s genetic argument that the sex ratio will be favored which maximizes the number of descendants an individual will have and hence the number of gene copies transmitted, it should pay a female to produce equal numbers of sons and daughters. Hamilton, noting that the eggs develop within their host—the larva of another insect—and that the newly emerged adult wasps mate immediately and disperse, offered a remarkably cogent analysis. Since only one female usually lays eggs in a given larva, it would pay her to produce one male only, because this one male could fertilize all his sisters on emergence. Like Fisher, Hamilton looked for an evolutionarily stable strategy, but he went a step further in recognizing that he was looking for a strategy.
The author suggests that the work of Fisher and Hamilton was similar in that both scientists

文章大意:
十八世纪晚期英国文学的权威们似乎认为相比于小说而言,女性应该去喜欢历史而非小说,因为阅读历史被认为是有好处的,这一点可以从Hanway的一部小说中看出,小说女主人公喜欢读历史,所以大家就觉得她比她不喜欢读历史的妹妹更有美德、更聪明。在简奥斯丁的另一部小说里也体现了这一点,一个角色不喜欢历史,而另一个更聪明、成熟的角色则喜欢历史。然而,这两个例子中对历史的赞扬其实是双刃剑。简奥斯丁小说里的那个角色之所以不喜欢读历史,是因为她不喜欢充满了男性、而几乎没有女性的历史书,这体现了从女权主义角度对历史的一种批评。而Hanway在其小说中给主人公对历史的阅读带来了政治上的争议,把那个时代最富有争议的两个宗教怀疑这列为自己最喜欢的历史作者(Hume和Gibbons)。虽然Hume写的历史不如他的哲学那么引起人们的争议,在Hanway的那个时代也有着广泛的对于Hume作为一个历史作家的道德上的怀疑,而Gibbons对于古典异教的支持从他关于罗马的历史出现的第一天就引起了争议。
题目1:The author’s primary purpose is that
参考答案:a particular issue is more complex than it might appear
题目2: The highlighted sentence exemplifies which of the following?
(Readers of Marry Ann Hanw ay’s novel Andrew Stewart, or the Northern Wanderer, learning that its heroine delights in David Hume’s and Edward Gibbon’s histories, could conclude that she was more virtuous and intelligent than her sister, who disdains such reading.)
参考答案:An instance in which a particular judgment about the value of reading history is apparently presupposed
题目3:作者支持以下哪项下面关于Hume的说法( 这道是讲义中没有的题目)
对应文章原句:Hume&rsquo...
