And they all got the same answer: The sexes are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical ideas. Boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve（神经）tracks. The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic creation and the expression for emotions. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, its the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a mans brain are connected by a smaller nerve than the two sides of a womans brain are.36. Which of the following is best to outline（概括）the article?A. Research on the Brain B. Differences between Men and WomenC. Peoples Different Brains D.

Mr. Johnson took the only escape route - through the boot（行李箱）.Mr. Johnsons car had finished up in a ditch at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldnt force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”His hands and arms cut and bruised（擦伤）, Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmers wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.41. What is the best title for this newspaper article?A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet SalesmanB.

It may be inferred from the passage that _.A. the ditch was along a quiet country roadB. the accident happened on a clear warm dayC. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditchD. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attendedCFor thousands of years humans have used herbs, roots, and other things from nature to cure disease. Scientists looking for new cures often visit traditional healers. They find out what plants are used in healing. Then they look at what the plant contains. They find the active ingredient（成分）, which is the chemical in the plant that works to heal. Many of the drugs we use, including aspirin, have come from these natural medicines.In recent years, many people in the US have taking what are legally known as dietary supplements（补药）. They may be vitamins or minerals. They may be herbs that help with health problems, such as depression. Some of them are teas. Others are capsules or tablets. They are sold in natural food stores, drug stores, and groceries. Most people think that because these products are natural they are also safe. This is not always true. There are many plants that are poisonous. There are others that have bad side effects.The New England Journal of Medicine publishes medical research. A recent edition called for the government to regulate dietary supplements. Several doctors wrote to the Journal and told of bad experiences people have had with dietary supplements.Dietary supplements arent tested in the same way as drugs. There is not always proof that the supplement really does what it is supposed to do. There is also a problem with purity of the supplements. Supplements have been found to contain things that are bad for the body. For example, the California Department of Health found that of 260 herbs grown in China, one third contained heavy metals. These are minerals such as lead and mercury（水银）. They are very poisonous, even in tiny amounts.46. The scientists study the cures from the healers in order to _.A. find out if the plant is poisonousB. find out what in the plant works to cure diseaseC. look for aspirin in the plantD. make sure that the plant can cure disease47. We can infer from the second paragraph that _.A. it is legal to take dietary supplement in the USAB. supplements are safe because they are natural medicines.C. all the supplements are poisonousD. none of the supplements has bad side effects48. The underlined word “regulate” in the third paragraph means _.A. punish B. remove C. control D. manage49. The problem with dietary supplement may be in that _.A. the supplements cant be tested like drugsB. the supplements may contain something uselessC. the supplements may be polluted seriouslyD. there is no clear evidence that the supplement does work well50. Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?A. Scientists think herbs roots can be used to cure disease.B. People believe dietary supplements contain vitamins and minerals.C. It is right that the dietary supplements are always safe.D. Dietary supplements are harmful to your health.DIf you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her nose, a tattoo（纹身）design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic（麻药）and this tooth filing is really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to become an adult.In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the “Papaung”. They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that theres nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.So now Im sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.51. What is mainly talked about in paragraph one?A. Womens design.B. Beautiful body decoration.C. Attractive decoration.D. Body decoration.52. What does the underlined word “trolley” mean?A. schoolbag B. luggage C. shopping cart D. basket53. On Bali, it is believed that _.A. a person with sharp teeth looks uglyB. a person with straight, flat teeth looks uglyC. a teenagers teeth points must be filed off with anestheticD. no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off54. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Most African people think that a girl with shinny skin is beautiful.B. Many people think that a woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.C. It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali.D. Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.55. What is the best title of the passage?A. Who is a beautiful woman?B. What is beautiful?C. Different ideas about beautiful.D. Body Decoration.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。将选项涂在标号为56-60的答题卡上。注意：如果选E项，同时涂黑AB;如果选F项, 同时涂黑CD。首先，请阅读下列演唱会的信息：A.
