Do women’s minds work the same as men’s? 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 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-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 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 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, 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 trunkline, here 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 subject 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.

1.Which of the following statements 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 up

D.The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known.

2.The 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.

3.According to the passage it is commonly believed that brain differences are caused by ______

A.social　 B.psycological　 C.physical　 D.biological

4. "these differences" in paragraph 5 refer to those in ________.

A.school subjects

B.skills of men and women

C.the brain structure of men and women

D.activities carried out by the brain

5.At the end of the passage the author proposes more work on ________.

A.the brain structure as a whole

Women ________ a more and more important part in today’s society. They hold up half the sky.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

A great woman once said, “Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others. “These are the words of US pilot Amelia Earhart（1897- 1937）, a pioneer in aviation（航空领域）, who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean

Her story ended in mystery when she disappeared without a trace（踪迹）during a flight over the Pacific Ocean. Theories about what happened to Earhart were proposed, but nothing was ever confirmed—until now. A study published in March conducted by Richard Jantz from the University of Tennessee, US, determined that bones found in 1940 on a remote Pacific island belonged to Earhart. Following the discovery, the world’s memories of the legendary female pilot were brought back to life.

Earhart was born in 1897. When she was young, she was very interested in stories about women who were successful in male-dominated（男性为主的）professions, such as engineering and law. But in 1920, Earhart’s life changed after her first experience of being a plane passenger. As soon as the plane left the ground, Earhart knew that she loved flying, so she found herself a teacher and started to learn how to fly for herself. To pay for the lessons and buy a plane of her own, she took all sorts of jobs.

Inl932, Earhart flew solo（独自地）across the Atlantic, becoming the first woman ever to do so. She also designed a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who led active lives. When she was nearly 40, Earhart was ready for a final challenge—to be the first woman to fly around the world. Her first attempt was unsuccessful but she tried again in 1937 with her navigator（领航员）Fred Noonan. But one month later, they disappeared in bad weather in mid-flight.

Even though it’s still not clear how she ended up on the island, we’re one step closer to finding the answer. And no matter what, Earhart will be forever remembered as a brave pioneer, both as a pilot and as a woman.

1.When did Earhart first fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone?

A. In 1920.　　 B. In 1932.

C. In 1937.　　 D. In 1940.

2.What started Earhart’s interest in flying?

A. Her parent’s influence.　　 B. Her teachers’ encouragement.

C. Her first experience as a passenger.　　 D. Her childhood love for engineering.

3.Which of the following words best describes Earhart?

A. Open-minded and patient.　　 B. Creative and helpful.

C. Talented and outgoing.　　 D. Pioneering and determined.

4.What’s the article mainly about?

A. The discovery of Earhart’s bones.

B. What made Earhart a great pilot.

C. The inspiring life story of Earhart

D. Some possible causes of Earhart’s death.
