(b)2012扬州模拟did you know that womens brains are smaller than mens? the average womens brain weighs 10% less than mens. since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent than women. right? wrong. men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. why? after years of study, researchers have concluded that its whats inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. the brain consists of “grey matter” and “white matter” while men have more of the latter, the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes. it has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in womens brain. this means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. when it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, its women who come out on top every time. there are other important differences between two sexes. as white matter is the key to spatial (空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “a great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go, ” says one researcher. that may explain one of lifes great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions. . . and women often need to! the differences begin when fetuses (胎儿) are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children as young as one year old. a boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. these brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. it may all go back to our ancestors, among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research. if all this disappoints you, it shouldnt. “the brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it. ” says a biologist. 5. which of the following is true according to the first paragraph? a. womens brain is 10% less than mens. b. grey matter plays the same role as white matter. c. both sexes have the same amount of white matter. d. grey matter controls thinking in the brain. 6. what can we infer from the second and third paragraphs? a. men do better in dealing with one job at a time. b. women prefer doing many things at a time. c. women do not need to ask for directions. d. men have weaker spatial abilities. 7. which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph? a. young boys may be stronger than young girls. b. more women take up jobs requiring speech skills. c. women may have stronger feelings than men. d. our ancestors needed more spatial skills. 8. what is the writers attitude in writing this passage? a. defensive. b. persuasive. c. objective. d. supportive. 答案解析. 1. in possession of 2. scores of 3. lead to 4. by coincidence 5. a great deal 6. on the other hand 7. appeal to 8. in the flesh 9. concentrate on 10. lie in. 1.
