【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文]26-30 Do you believe that men and women think differently? Many people say no. They say men and women are born with exactly the same abilities to think and learn. They think social life affects their ways of thinking. In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women and they all got the same conclusion: men and women are different because their brains are different and this makes men and women see the world in different ways. Boys, for example, are generally better than girls at mathematical ideas involving objects and their relationships. Boys also are generally faster in response than girls of hand and eye movements in ball games. Girls, on the other hand, generally start speaking earlier and can see better in the dark and are better at learning foreign language than boys. What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides. The nerves on the left side are for mathematics, speech, reading, etc. , while those on the right side are for artistic creation and other senses. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it is the area for mathematics; and in girls it is the area for language learning that develops better. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man's brain are interconnected by a smaller number of nerves than in the case of a woman, so the flow of information between them is more limited. Scientists think this affects some of our abilities. [分析] 推理判断题。 根据原文开篇可知人们通常认为男人和女人生来具有相同的能力去思考和学习。直到过去十年科学家们通过研究才发现men and women are different because their brains are different由此可判断人们长久以来认为男人女人的大脑是一样的。因此A项的说法“男人女人的大脑是一样的”与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 根据上下文时间线索判断相关信息处。本题问人们长久以来的想法，原文并未明确提出。但根据开篇介绍的人们通常对男女的认识和后面In the past ten years科学家的发现可推断出题干要求的答案信息处。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 通常情况下男人球类运动比女人玩的好，其原因根据原文Boys also are generally faster in response than girls of hand and eye movements in ball games可知在球类运动中男孩子手眼运动通常反应比女孩子快，由此可见选项C的说法与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 根据句内逻辑判断因果关系。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据原文．．．the two sides of a man's brain are interconnected by a smaller number of nerves than in the case of a woman，so the flow of information between them is more limited可知由于男人大脑内部起联接作用的神经数量比女人少，脑部神经间的信息流量会受到更多限制。由此可见，男孩子比女孩子接受到的信息少，因此B项内容与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 根据表结果的信号词so判断上下文因果关系。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[分析] 主旨题。 本文首先提出传统观点，而后以科学家的研究为证提出自己观点，即男女大脑并不相同。接着讲话者详细阐释说明，论证本文主题。因此B项内容与原文主要内容相符，该项是正确答案。 [解题关键] 把握全文基本结构和脉络是解题的关键。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据题干中关键词learning foreign languages定位到原文相关信息处The nerves on the left side are for mathematics，speech，reading．．．In men and women，different areas in each side of the brain develop differently．In boys，for example，it is the area for mathematics；and in girls“is the area for language learning that develops better可知人类大脑左部发展数学、言语、阅读等，男女左右半脑不同区域发展情况不同。男孩数学区域，女孩语言区域发展都优于对方。由此可判断，对于女孩，左半脑司掌语言的区域发展优于男孩。因此A项内容与原文意思相符，是正确答案。 [解题关键] 掌握比较级的用法是解题的关键。
