【C12】
选项 A、indispensable
B、responsible
C、sufficient
D、dominant
答案B
解析 形容词辨析题。句意为：现在意大利的研究人员认为他们已经找到了大脑负责嫉妒的区域。首先排除dominant，它通常不跟for构成搭配。其余三个形容词都可以跟for构成搭配，但含义不同。indispensable for表示“对……必需的”，例如：The work lawyers do is in fact indispensable for our society．(律师的工作对于我们的社会来说是非常必要的。)responsible for“是……的原由，为……负责”；sufficient for“足够的，充分的”，例如：When the messaging network is small，the free desktop-based usertools are usually sufficient for this purpose．(在消息传递网络较小时，通常基于桌面的免费用户工具就足以满足此用途了。)根据句意，responsible for是正确答案。
