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(性别) 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(创造) 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】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述了男性和女性的不同点，男性一般更善于数学和运动，女性一般更善于语言和表达，这些不同主要是由于他们大脑的构成是不一样的。

1.】主旨大意题。这篇短文讲述了男性和女性的不同点，男性一般更善于数学和运动，女性一般更善于语言和表达，这些不同主要是由于他们大脑的生长构成是不一样的，因此B选项是最符合题意的。故选B。

2.】推断分析题。从文中第三段中“ 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样的主要原因是大脑的不同。故选A。

3.】细节分析题。从文中的第二段中“ 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.”可以看出女生在外语学习上会更优于男生。故选C。

4.】正误判断题。从文中的第二段中“ 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，女孩子开始说话的年龄比男孩子早，而且她们普遍在黑夜看得更清楚，在外语学习中更优于男生，从中可以判断出D选项是正确的。故选D。

5.】细节分析题。从文末中“ 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脑神经构成中是不一样的。故选B。
