　　Musa Kayairanga of Rwanda is a traditional healer．He uses natural medicines to treat his patients．He learned how to use computers at a rural telecommunications center in his country．Musa Kayairanga says he exchanges information with doctors as far away as Canada．He also says the computer has improved his knowledge of using plants to treat diseases．Many people in rural areas are now able to communicate with the rest of the world．This is one example of how technology is changing life in developing countries．

　　Andrew Burns is an economist at the World Bank in Washington, D．C．He led a recent study of technology in developing countries．The study found that technology has spread faster in such countries than in rich nations．It also found that technological progress has helped raise wages in developing countries．And it reduced the percentage of people living in extreme poverty from twenty-nine percent in 1990 to eighteen percent in 2004．

　　By analyzing academic data from 10 states, representing the testing of more than 7.2 millions of youths, U．S．researchers found that gender differences in math scores were extremely small among all ethnic groups in grades 2－11．

　　These findings are in contrast to earlier results from 1990 that indicate measurable differences favoring males in complex problem-solving, beginning in the high school years．

　　Janet Hyde from University of Wisconsin and colleagues reported their study results in the journal Science on Friday．

　　Currently, women are largely absent from the highest levels of careers in mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering．In the United States, Ph．D．programs in engineering currently average only about 15 percent women, and similar statistics have led to stereotypes(成见)about girls and women lacking in mathematical ability．

　　Now, it is clear that the general population no longer shows a gender difference in mathematical skills, according to this latest report．

　　And this new data on academic performance in the United States shows that students are tested frequently on "recall" and "skill/concept" items, but rarely on "strategic thinking"(战略思维)or "extended thinking" concepts．

　　If standardized tests do not assess(评估)the sorts of reasoning that are crucial to careers in science and math, then the skills may not be taught, putting American students at a disadvantage to students in other countries where testing and instruction focuses on more challenging content．"This is a gap that should be fixed," Hyde said．

(1)

What is the best title of the passage?
[　　]
A．	A new study result about math．
B．	No gender differences in math．
C．	Girls are not good at math．
D．	Girls do better in math than boys．

(2)

Earlier research results ________．
[　　]
A．	are the same as that of this latest report
B．	indicate that boys are much better in complex problem-solving than girls
C．	indicate that girls are much better in complex problem-solving than boys
D．	are completely wrong

(3)

The underlined word “crucial” in the last paragraph most probably means ________．
[　　]
A．	necessary
B．	unimportant
C．	important
D．	cruel

(4)

What Hyde said in the last paragraph means that ________．
[　　]
A．	standardized tests should assess the sorts of reasoning so that the skills may be taught
B．	testing and instruction focuses on more challenging content in the USA
C．	students in other countries are cleverer than American students
D．	students should be tested frequently on "recall" and "skill/concept" items

(5)

The passage is most probably taken from ________．
[　　]
