Note that there is one word more than you need TexyhMII9t There is a tendency to think of each of the arts as a separate area of activity Many artists however would prove that there has always been a warm relationship between the 41 areas of human activity For example in the late nineteenth century the connections between music and painting were 42 close zhucanqi Artists were invited to design clothes and settings for operas and ballets but sometimes it was the musicians who were inspired by the work of 43 painters Of the musical compositions that were considered as responses to the visual arts perhaps the most famous is Mussorgsky s Pictures at an Exhibition TexyhMII9t Mussorgsky 44 the piece in 1874 after the death at the age of 39 of the artist Victor Hartmann Though their friendship

longer and reproduce more than those elephants in zoos TexyhMII9t When it comes to living in a zoo many species do well but elephants don t said Georgia Mason one of the researchers of the study Many animals live longer in zoos than they do in the wild This isn t surprising when you consider that zoo animals are not threatened by predators 掠食者 always have plenty to eat P F Productions and have professionals on hand to care for them TexyhMII9t When it comes to elephants however the situation is different The world s largest land animals live much longer in the wild than they do in zoos

Mason said TexyhMII9t The researchers say that zoos do not offer enough space for animals that can travel as far as 48 kilometers a day Too little exercise and too much food means captive elephants

laptop showed the sharpest increaseTexyhMII9t C Women s minds work differently from men s Psychologists view the subject either as a matter of failure or a joke Now the biologists have moved into this field and some of them have found that there are real differences between the brains of men and women But being different they point out hurriedly is not the same as being better or worse TexyhMII9t There is however a definite structural variation between the male and female brain The difference is in a part of the brain that is used in the most complex intellectual processes the link between the two halves of the brain TexyhMII9t The two halves are linked by a trunkline 主干线 of between 200 and 300 million nerves the corpus callosum Scientists have found quite recently that the corpus callosum in women is always larger and probably richer in nerve fibres 纤维 than it is in men This is the first time that a structural difference has been found between the brains of women and men and it must have some significance The question is What and if this difference exists are there others Research shows that present day women think differently and behave differently from men Are some of these differences biological and inborn a result of evolution We tend to think that is the influence of society that produces these differences But could we be wrong TexyhMII9t Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together The better the connections the more harmoniously the two 10 17 halves work Usually women have the better connections TexyhMII9t But it isn t all that easy to explain the actual differences between the skills of men and women on this basis In schools throughout the world girls tend to be better than boys at language subjects and boys better at math If these differences correspond 相符合 with the differences in the trunkline there is an unchangeable distinction between the sexes TexyhMII9t We shan t know for a while partly because we don t know of the exact relationship between abilities in school subjects and the functioning of the two halves of the brain And we cannot understand how the two halves interact through the corpus callosum But one thing is certain nothing in our world is still even scientific thought TexyhMII9t 74 Which of the following statements is TRUE A Biologists are doing research where psychologists have given up TexyhMII9t B Brain differences point to advantage of one sex over the other TexyhMII9t C The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known TexyhMII9t D The brain difference is the only difference between the sexes TexyhMII9t 75 According to the passage it is commonly believed that brain differences are caused by factors TexyhMII9t A biologicalB psychologicalC physicalD socialTexyhMII9t 76 The expression of these differences refers to those in TexyhMII9t A skills of men and womenB school subjects C the brain structure of men and womenD learning habitsTexyhMII9t 77 What is the main purpose of the passage A To discuss the various factors that cause brain differences TexyhMII9t B To explain the link between sex and brain structure TexyhMII9t C To suggest new areas in brain research D To indicate the many differences between the sexes TexyhMII9t Section C Directions Read the following passage and then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words TexyhMII9t You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia s fast food generation Dr Chwang director of the Department of Food
