The answer lies apparently not in the increased energy costs of exaggerated begging—such energy costs are small relative to the potential gain in calories— but rather in the damage that any successful cheater would do to its siblings,which share genes with one another.

托福阅读长难句类型：插入成分+复杂修饰成分

本句中有一个由两个破折号引导的比较长的插入成分，我们先跳过插入成分，完整的读下来句子应该是 The answer lies not in the increased energy costs but rather in the damage ，其他的都是非重点的次要句子成分，同学们只要能读出来本句的核心意思是答案不在高能量消耗而在伤害，就可以了。至于其他的修饰成分，只要搞清楚谁修饰谁就可以。 ETS 非常喜欢这种层层追加修饰的方法，把句子搞得很长，但是实际上没有什么重要信息。
