10、e they are going.第二部分：阅读理解（每小题2分，共40分） Do womens minds work the same as mens? Absolutely not.At least, that is what most men are convinced of.Psychologists view the subject either as a matter or frustration or a joke.Now the biologists have moved into this minefield, and some of them have found that

11、 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 mo

12、st complex intellectual processes-the link between the two halves of the brain.The two halves are linked by a trunkline 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 fibr

13、es 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 d

14、ifferently 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 call

15、osum enabled them to work together.For most people, the left half is used for word handing, 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, acco

16、rding to research findings, women have the better connections.But it isnt 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

17、 differences correspond with the differences in the hemispheric trunkline, here is an unalterable distinction between the sexes.We shant know for a while, partly because we dont know of any precise relationship between abilities in school subject and the functioning of the two halves of the brain, a

18、nd 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.1Which of the following state

19、ments is CORRECT?A.Results of scientific research fail to support popular belief.B.Brain differences point to superiority of one sex over the other.C.Biologists are conducting research where psychologists have given upD.The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known.2Th

20、e corpus callosum functions in _.A.forming the nerve fibers.B.differing man from woman.C.enabling the brain to work.D.processing the most complex intellectuality.3According to the passage it is commonly believed that brain differences are caused by _A.social B.psycological C.physical D.biological4 t

21、hese differences in paragraph 5 refer to those in _.A.school subjectsB.skills of men and womenC.the brain structure of men and womenD.activities carried out by the brain5At the end of the passage the author proposes more work on _.A.the brain structure as a wholeB.the functioning of part of the brai

22、nC.the distinction between the sexesD.the effects of the corpus callosum People around the world are superstitious about numbers; even those ancient Greeks believed that all numbers and their multiples had some mystical significance.Those numbers between 1 and 13 were in particular to have a powerfu

23、l influence over the affairs of men.For example, it is commonly said that luck, good or bad, comes in threes; if an accident happens, two more of the same kind may be expected soon afterwards.The arrival of a letter will be followed by two others within a certain period.Another belief involving the

24、number three has it that it is unlucky to light three cigarettes from the one match.If this happens, the bad luck that goes with the deed falls upon the person whose cigarette was the last to be lit.The ill-omen linked to the lighting of three things from one match or candle goes back to at least th

25、e 17th century and probably earlier.It was believed that three candles alight at the same time would be sure to bring bad luck; one, two, or four, were permissible, but never just three.Seven was another significant number, usually regarded as a bringer of good luck.The ancient astrologers believed

26、that the universe was governed by seven planets; students of Shakespeare will recall that the life of man was divided into seven ages.Seven horseshoes nailed to a house will protect it from all evil.Nine is usually thought of as a lucky number because it is the product of three times three.It was mu

27、ch used by the Anglo Saxons in their charms for healing.Another belief was that great changes occurred every 7th and 9th of a mans life.Consequently, the age of 63 (the product of nine and seven) was thought to be a very perilous time for him.If he survived his 63rd year he might hope to live to a r

28、ipe old age.Thirteen, as we well know, is regarded with great awe and fear.The common belief is that this derives from the fact that there were 13 people at Christs Last Supper.This being the eve of his betrayal, it is not difficult to understand the significance given to the number by the early Chr

29、istians.In more modern times 13 is an especially unlucky number of a dinner party, for example.Hotels will avoid numbering a floor the 13th; the progression is from 12 to 14, and no room is given the number 13.Many home owners will use 12 1/2 instead of 13 as their house number.Yet oddly enough, to

30、be born on the 13th of the month is not regarded with any fear at all, which just shows how irrational we are in our superstitious beliefs.6What does the underlined sentence mean?A.If one good thing happens, two bad things will follow it.B.If one bad thing happens, two good things will follow it.C.I

31、f one good thing happens, two more good things will follow it.D.Three good things and three bad things always come together.7According to the passage, which of the following groups of numbers will certainly bring good luck to people?A.3 and 7 B.7 and 9 C.3 and 9 D.3 and 138What does the underlined w

32、ord perilous in paragraphy 7 mean:A.dangerous B.instable C.unlucky D.unhealthy9The ill luck associated with 13 is supposed to have its origin in _.A.legendB.popular beliefC.religionD.certain customs10What is the authors attitude towards peoples superstitious beliefs?A.His attitude is not clear.B.He

33、is strongly critical.C.He is in favour of them.D.He is mildly critical.Attitude isnt quite everything when it comes to being successful, but attitude plays a part in every stage of your life. A poor attitude gets more people fired than any other single factor, and a good attitude gets people jobs an

34、d helps them keep those jobs more than any other factor.Your attitude affects many people, from your family to the stranger on the street corner. Your attitude is particularly important when you face seemingly hopeless situations. Losing a job or a friend because of a poor attitude is unfortunateesp

35、ecially because a bad attitude can be fixed.You can find at least two ways to look at everything. A pessimist looks for difficulty in the opportunity, while an optimist looks for opportunity in the difficulty. A poet of long ago put the difference between optimism and pessimism(悲观主义) this way: two m

36、en looked out of the prison barsone saw mud while the other saw stars.Unfortunately, many people look only at the problem and not at the opportunity that lies within the problem. Many employees complain about the difficulty of their jobs, for example, not realizing that if the job was simple, the em

37、ployer would hire someone with less ability at a lower wage. A small coin can hide even the sun if you hold the coin close enough to your eye. So when you get too close to your problems, to think objectively(客观地) about them, try to keep in mind how your vision（视觉）can be obstructed. Take a step back,

38、 and look at the situation from a new angle.You cant do anything to change the fact that a problem exists, but you can do a great deal to find the opportunity within that problem. Youre guaranteed a better tomorrow by doing your best today and developing a plan of action for the tomorrows that lie a

39、head. Just remember to maintain a positive mental attitude.11What does the author mean by saying the first sentence in Paragraph 1?A. If you have a good attitude, you will be successful.B. Your attitude makes a great influence on your life.C. Your attitude has nothing to do with your success.D. Your

40、 success is very important to your life.12In Paragraph 3, the writer shows us _.A. two ways to look at everythingB. the ways to look for opportunityC. the explanation of pessimist and optimistD. the ways to look out from prison bars13The writer mentions the example of many employees in Paragraph 4 t

41、o tell people to _.A. ignore the problemB. make their jobs easy to doC. wait for the problem to be solvedD. look for opportunity in the problem14The underlined word “obstructed” in Paragraph 4 probably means _.A. dropped B. blocked C. improved D. shared15Who can be the target(目标) readers of the pass

42、age？A. teachers B. students C. bosses D. OfficersEvery year, I tell my sons what Id like for Mothers Day: a letter, something written from the heart and offered freely rather than bought from a store and wrapped neatly. I dont always get my wish, nor do I always take the time to write to my own moth

43、er.This year, my boys will be in two different states on Mothers Day. My mom and dad will be away together, and Ill be driving home from a writers workshop in Massachusetts. Thinking of the fact that many friends have already lost their mothers and that a few have lost children, I am deeply grateful

44、 that what separates us, for now at least, is merely distance. It wont always be so, and there is no way to prepare for that fact other than to appreciate the moment that is. My sons know that they can please me on Sunday with a phone call or an e-mail, and that is enough as I love their words. The

45、very best gift they can possibly give me is their own happiness, the very fact of their busy, full and well-lived lives.Still, knowing that my years of staying with my sons are over, I do feel doleful. The truth is, I miss being the center of the universe to two little boys. And this holiday can be

46、a bit painful.I wonder if my own mother ever felt nostalgic (怀旧的，乡愁的) for the passing of my childhood. I wonder if she realizes that she is still at the center of my universe and always has been. I dont often pause to think about it, but of course she is the one who has been right there, at my side

47、from the moment I drew my very first breath. How to ever fully appreciate the woman whose presence and love and example have shaped me into the adult I am? How to describe even a small part of the sharing, sacrificing, and support she has given me over the years?16The author mainly wants to tell us

48、through the first paragraph that_.A. she hopes to get her sons letters very muchB. her sons dont often write to her on Mothers DayC. Mothers Day is the very date that she longs for mostD. Children are often careless about their parents s request.17The author is deeply grateful for the present life b

49、ecause_.A. her sons dont live far away from her homeB. her parents and children are still aliveC. her parents are coming to her house to spend Mothers DayD. her sons can please her on Sunday with a phone call18According to the author，_.A. young people nowadays tend to ignore their parentsB. parents

50、should not give their children too much freedomC. childrens happiness and success are the biggest comfort to parentsD. parents are not the center of their childrens universe when children grow up19What does the underlined word doleful in Paragraph 3 mean?A. sad B. excited C. guilty D. uncomfortable2

51、0What will the author probably tell about after the last paragraph?A. Shell tell the reader about her mothers present situation.B. Shell talk about how her mother educated and cared for her.C. Shell describe the reunion of her family on Mothers Day.D. Shell tell the reader about her mothers achievem

64、they always delay doing something that must be done at once. Moreover, because they often put off their plans till “tomorrow”, they are less likely to achieve their goals and will give up their dreams and goals finally.

Actually, its surprising how much you can do if you just decide to do little things with the little time you have. Also those who often procrastinate

67、 can always find a good reason for something they refuse to do at once.If you are one of those who often delay, then its time for you to make a decision to act now because things happen only when we decide to act.

80、ng. To achieve the goal of losing weight, people take different measures. Some people work out regularly in the gym, some other people go on a diet or eat only vegetables, and there is also a small number of people taking weight-loss pills or even turning to plastic surgery, doing harm to their health. But in my opinion,
