【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

They Just Can't Help It

My theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy the ability to understand other people and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. _【1】_ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.

You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case.

A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. _2__ It has also been observed (that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. __3__ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines.

Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men.

__4__ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.

Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. __5__ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.

A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.

B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.

C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.

D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.

E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.

F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.

G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】F

【3】C

【4】D

【5】G

【解析】

试题分析:本次七选五依然为常考的说明文,题目”They Just Can’t Help It”,由我的观点入手,说明男性与女性头脑用途取向不同,并用男性与女性杂志的选择性不同作例子。进而第二段先提出观点差异由后天培养造成,后文话锋一转,提出男性女性差异是先天生理决定的。第三段进一步说明差异的原因:女性左右脑连接神经是男性的四倍。结尾客观说明我的观点阐述男性与女性差异各有优缺点。文章结构清晰,干扰选项较易排除,整体难度不大。

【1】A 前文叙述男女大脑用途不同,且根据后文提示,For example 的提示,举例说男性与女性在选择杂志上的区别,故此处应为一个总起性质的句子,强调区别。故A正确。

【2】F 第二段总起的观点为男性与女性在选择上的差异是后天培养的,However 话锋一转,说新生儿在选择上的差异,因此提出新的观点“暗示男性与女性选择上的差异是天生的,即为生理差异决定的。”故F正确。

【3】C 前文提及男孩对搭建玩具塔楼以及功能性较强的玩具有强烈的倾向,后文说建筑类工作多为男性,故前后文都是描述男性相同的选择倾向,只是发生的年龄和场所不同,故选择C。

【4】D 前文提及女性更具有同时从事多个任务的能力,与D 选项many sources 及at the same time 呼应。

【5】G 前文提到my theory “男性与女性各有优缺点”,后文说“it is not true”,故此处引出一个容易误解的观点。G 选项提及的theory,且这里的观点认为“我的观点会让男性女性模式化,故选择G。
