Women's minds work differently from men's.At least,that is what most men are convinced of. Psychologists view the subject either as a matter of frustration or a joke.Now the biologists have moved into this minefield,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.
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一the link between the two halves of the brain.
The two halves are linked by a trunk line 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 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?
Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions,and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together. For most people,the left half is used for word-handling, analytical and logical activities;the right half works on pictures,patterns and forms.We need both halves working together. And the better the connections,the more harmoniously the two halves work.And,according to research findings,women have the better connections.
But it isn't all that easy to explain the actual differences between 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 maths and physics.If these differences correspond with the differences in the hemispheric trunk line,there is an unalterable distinction between the sexes.
We shan't know for a while,partly because we don't know of any precise 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 via the corpus callosum.But this striking difference must have some effect and,because the difference is in the parts of the brain involved in intellect,we should be looking for differences in intellectual processing.

The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

参考答案：错误

第4题：

The most striking phonetic difference between American and British English is the pronunciation of__________ in words.

A. r
B. a
C.wh
D.er

答案：A
解析：
考查美式英语与英式英语的差别。美语与英语在语音上的最显著差异在于辅音r是否发音。例如：car美语中发／kar／，而英语中为／ka：／。其他的字母a、wh和er在英式和美式发音上也有区别，但没有r的区别显著，故选A。

第8题：

The most appropriate title for this text is.

［A］Differences between Two Webs

［B］The Humanization of Computer Software

［C］A New Solution to World Problems

［D］The Creator and His Next Creation


正确答案：D

本题通过选标题的形式考查了文章的主旨。文章主要介绍了著名科学家伯纳斯·李以及他将要研究出的语义万维网，所以［D］项正确。在分析中，为了说明将来的网络，把它和现在的万维网进行了比较，但这仅仅是为了更好说明语义万维网的优点。所以不选［A］项。［B］项是未来万维网的一个目标，只是文章所述内容的一个方面，不能作为文章主旨。［C］项在文章最后点到，也不是主旨。

Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did.After a short career in law,he turned to teaching,but he discovered how inadequate the available schoolbooks were for the children of a new and independent nation.
In response to the need for truly American textbooks,Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language,a three-volume work that consisted of a speller,a grammar,and a reader.The first volume,which was generally known as The American Spelling Book,was so popular that eventually it sold more than 80 million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of his life.Can you imagine that?
Anyway,in 1807,Noah Webster began his greatest work,An American Dictionary of the English Language.In preparing the manuscript,he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages,and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828,An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States.Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,pronunciations,and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing many of the simplified spelling forms that distinguish American English from British.
Webster was the first author to gain copyright protection in the United States by being awarded a copyright for The American Spelling Book and he continued to lobby over the next fifty years for the protection of intellectual properties,that is,for author's rights.By the time that Webster brought out the second edition of his dictionary,which included 70,000 entries instead of the original 38,000, the name Webster had become synonymous with American dictionaries.It was this second edition that served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced by others, ironically,under the uncopyrighted Webster name.

Webster's purpose in writing An American Dictionary of the English Language is to prove that American English was superior to British English.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案：B
解析：
诺亚·韦伯一直是老师。第一段第二句话：After a short career in law , he turned to teaching…在法律界工作没多久，他就改行教书。因此本句是错误的。
《英语语言文法规则》的出版是为了满足美国国内对于课本的需要。依据是第二段第一句话：In response to the need for truly American textbooks , Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language…为了满足这种对于真正美国化课本的需要，韦伯出版了《英语语言文法规则》。因此该句话是正确的。
1828年出版的《韦氏英语字典》是韦伯最伟大的著作。依据是第三段第一句话：Noah Webster began his greatest work , An American Dictionary of the English Language.1807年，韦伯开始编写他最伟大的著作《韦氏英语词典》。因此该句话是正确的。
韦伯反对奴隶制而且对于废除美国奴隶制作出了很大的贡献。文中对此没有提及。
韦伯编写《韦氏英语字典》的目的是为了证明美式英语优于英式英语。第三段倒数第二句提到：Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,pronunciations,and spellings from those of British English.韦伯编写这本字典旨在于证明美国的语言在继承了英式英语后逐渐形成了自己特有的意义、发音和拼写。因此这句话是错误的。
韦伯终其一生积极维护版权。最后一段第一句中提到：Webster was the first author to gain copyright protection in the United States…and he continued to lobby over the next fifty years for the protection of intellectual properties, that is, for author's rights．根据参考译文可以得知这句话是正确的。
对于很多美国人来说，一说起字典就会想到韦伯。最后一段倒数第二句中提到：the name Webster had become synonymous with American dictionaries．韦伯已经成为了美国字典的代名词。因此该句话是正确的。
