第二部分：阅读理解

(第一节20小题，第二节5小题;每小题2分，满分50分)

第一节：阅读下列短文， 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

Men have always believed that they are smarter than women. Now， a study has found that while this is certainly true， men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.

In the study， scientists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent， but also in the bottom two percent.

The study‘s participants were tested on science， maths， English and mechanical abilities.

Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group， there were also twice as many men among the dolts.

The aggregate scores of men and women were similar.

One of the study‘s authors， psychology professor Timothy Bates， said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their home.

”The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground.，” the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates， of Edinburgh University， as saying.

The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.

It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.

A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds， while men are continuing to receive more thirds.

The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women‘s steady approach.

41. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.

A. man are smarter then women

B. man are more stupid the women

C. a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been found

A. they are born stupid

B. they have to spend more time to tale care of their home than men

C. they don’t like to take risk

D. they are not expected to be high achievers

43. The underlined word tallies with in the eighth paragraph means________.

A. agree withB. deal withC. go againstD. go with

44. It can be inferred from the passage that______.

A. Women are steadier in their learning.

B. men are more ready to take risk in everything

C. women are securing more firsts and seconds

D. women are doing much better in academy

45. Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage?

A long-term American study shows the importance of early education for poor children. The study is known as the Abecedarian(初步的) Project. It involved more than one-hundred young children from poor families in North Carolina.

Half of the children attended an all-day program at a high-quality childcare center. The center offered educational， health and social programs. Children took part in games and activities to increase their thinking and language skills and social and emotional development. The program also included health foods for the children

The children attended the program from when they were a few weeks old until the age of five years. The other group of children did not attend the childcare center. After the age of five， both groups attended public school.

Researchers compared the two groups of children. When they were babies， both groups had similar results in tests for mental and physical skills. However， from the age of eighteen months， the children in the educational child care program did much better in tests.

The researchers tested the children again when they were twelve and fifteen years old. The tests found that the children who had been in the childcare center continued to have higher average test results. These children did much better on tests of reading and mathematics.

A few years ago， organizers of the Abecedarian Project tested the students again. At the time， each student was twenty-one years old. They were tested for thinking and educational ability， employment， parenting and social skills. The researchers found that the young adults who had the early education still did better in reading and mathematics tests. They were more than two times as likely to be attending college or to have completed college. In addition， the children who received early education were older on average， when their first child was born.

The study offers more evidence that learning during the first months and years of life is important for all later development.

The researchers of the Abecedarian Project believe their study shows a need for lawmakers to spend money on public early education. They believe these kinds of programs could reduce the number of children who do not complete school and are unemployed.

46. The Abecedarian Project has lasted______.

A. almost one yearB. about five years

C. more than 20 yearsD. no more than 15 years

47. Those who had been in the child-care center_______ compared with those who hadn’t.

A. have their children at later ages

B. have no parenting or social skills

C. are poorer at reading and mathematics

D. get more help from other people

48. What don’t we know about the Abecedarian Project after reading the text?

A. How important early education is for poor children.

B. What the children learned at the child-care center.

C. How many children are involved in the Abecedarian Project.

D. Whether lawmakers will spend money on public early education.

49. The study if Abecedarian project shows that early education____.

A. leads to a lower birthrate

B. costs a lot of money

C. is not important for later development
