Question

In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women. And they all got the same answer: The sexes(性別) 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(神經(jīng)) tracks. The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic creation(創(chuàng)造) and the expression for emotions(情感). In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it’s 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 man’s brain are connected by a smaller number of nerves than the two sides of a woman’s brain are.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述了男性和女性的不同點(diǎn)，男性一般更善于數(shù)學(xué)和運(yùn)動(dòng)，女性一般更善于語言和表達(dá)，這些不同主要是由于他們大腦的構(gòu)成是不一樣的。

1.】主旨大意題。這篇短文講述了男性和女性的不同點(diǎn)，男性一般更善于數(shù)學(xué)和運(yùn)動(dòng)，女性一般更善于語言和表達(dá)，這些不同主要是由于他們大腦的生長構(gòu)成是不一樣的，因此B選項(xiàng)是最符合題意的。故選B。

2.】推斷分析題。從文中第三段中“ What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. ”可以看出使男人和女人想法不一樣的主要原因是大腦的不同。故選A。

3.】細(xì)節(jié)分析題。從文中的第二段中“ 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.”可以看出女生在外語學(xué)習(xí)上會(huì)更優(yōu)于男生。故選C。

4.】正誤判斷題。從文中的第二段中“ 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.”在另一方面，女孩子開始說話的年齡比男孩子早，而且她們普遍在黑夜看得更清楚，在外語學(xué)習(xí)中更優(yōu)于男生，從中可以判斷出D選項(xiàng)是正確的。故選D。

5.】細(xì)節(jié)分析題。從文末中“ Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are connected by a smaller number of nerves than the two sides of a woman’s brain are.”可以看出男生和女生在大腦神經(jīng)構(gòu)成中是不一樣的。故選B。
