Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that its whats inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain is made up of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the white matter, the amount of “thinking” brain is almost the same in both men and women.It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls may learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of different information at the same time. When it es to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, its women who e out on top every time.There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of lifes great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions and women often need to!The differences begin when fetuses（胎儿）are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children when they are very young. A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would ask for help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors, among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.25. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?AGrey matter controls thinking in the brain.BMen s brain is 10% less than womens.CGrey matter plays the same role as white matter.DMen and women have the same amount of white matter.26. What can you infer from Paragraphs 2 and 3?AMen have weaker spatial abilities.BWomen do not need to tell directions.CWomen prefer doing many things at a time.DWomen do many jobs at a time better than men.27. What can you learn from Paragraph 4?AOur children needed more spatial skills.BWomen may have more feelings than men.CYoung boys may be stronger than young girls.DMore women take up jobs requiring speech skills.28. The passage is mainly about _.Aways of being more intelligent Bdifferences between men and women Cstudies on brains between two sexes Dstudies on white matter and grey matterCWhy do you go to the library? For books, yesbut you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone elses life. At one type of library, you can do just thateven though theres not a single book.At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the bookmeaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individuals experience. “Books” are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination (歧视) based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their life.For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype. You can speak with a refugee (难民), a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs to truly get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about.According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.” It provides the opportunity for the munity to share and understand the experiences of others in their munity.The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in xx. Ronni Abergel and his colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since.Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most arent places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you dont need a library cardanyone can e and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio.The stories these “books” tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between. And thats the very point of the organizationto prove that no person can be summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly cant judge a book by its coveror by its title or label.29. The “books” in human libraries are_.A. long-held beliefs attracting individualsB. inspiring stones motivating people in troubleC. events in which people can talk to volunteersD. unfairly-treated people sharing their experiences30. The event in Copenha gen is significant because it_.A. aimed to help the young suffering from violenceB. attempted to replace traditional physical librariesC. laid a foundation for the Human Library OrganizationD. led to a pleasing development for the munity with racism31. In human libraries, the readers are likely to_.A. deepen their understanding of peopleB. enrich their own personal experiencesC. hear the stories told by celebrities from all over the worldD. make quick judgments about the “books”32. The main purpose of the passage is to_.A. evaluate and educate B. inform and explainC. discuss and persuade D. analyze and suggest D Printable Tags Turn Everyday Objects into Smart DevicesEngineers have developed printable metal tags (标签)that could be attached to everyday objects and turn them into smart Internet of Things devices.The metal tags are made from copper foil (铜箔) printed onto thin, flexible, paper-like materials to reflect WiFi signals. The tags work essentially like “mirrors” that reflect radio signals from a WiFi router(路由器). When a users finger touches these “mirrors”, it disturbs the reflected WiFi signals in such a way that can be remotely sensed by a WiFi receiver like a smartphone.The tags can be nailed onto objects that people touch every day, like water bottles, walls or doors. These objects then bee smart and connected devices that can signal a WiFi device whenever a user interacts with them. The tags can also be shaped into thin keypads or smart home control panels that can be used to remotely operate WiFi-connected speakers and other Internet of Things devices.Xinyu Zhang, a professor of electrical and puter engineering, named the technology LiveTag. He pictures people using LiveTag technology to track human interaction with everyday objects. For example, LiveTag could potentially be used to assess the recovery of patients who have suffered from stroke (中风). “When patients return home, they could use this technology to provide data based on how they interact with everyday objects at home, whether they are opening or closing doors in a normal way, or if they are able to pick up bottles of water, for example. The amount, intensity and frequency of their activities could be recorded and sent to their doctors to evaluate their recovery,” said Zhang. “And this can all be done in the fort of their own homes rather than having to keep going back to the clinic for frequent testing,” he added.The researchers note several limitations of the technology. LiveTag currently cannot work with a WiFi receiver further than one meter away, so researchers are working on improving the tag sensitivity and detection range. Ultimately, the team aims to develop a way to make the tags using normal paper and ink printing, which would make them cheaper to mass produce.33.When people touch a printable metal tag,_.A. they are actually touching a mirrorB. the WiFi router will stop sending signalsC. the reflected WiFi signals will be disturbedD. their fingers can be sensed by a WiFi router34.LiveTag can probably be used to_.A. precisely locate everyday objectsB. remotely control a WiFi-connected TVC. easily block signals from WiFi devicesD. greatly improve ones physical condition35.LiveTag helps stroke patients by_.A. evaluating the process of their recoveryB. sending data of their activities to doctorsC. connecting their smartphones with doctorsD. recording doctors assessments of their recovery 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Want to live in a perfectly clean environment and make it shine brightly? _36_Then you will not need to purchase expensive cleaning products.
