Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent（聪明的） 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（数量）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 comes 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 come out on top every time.There are other important differences between two sexes（性别）. 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.（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?A . Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.B . Mens brain is 10% less than womens.C . Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.D . Men and women have the same amount of white matter.（2）What can you infer from Paragraphs 2 and 3?A . Men have weaker spatial abilities.B . Women do not need to tell directions.C . Women prefer doing many things at a time.D . Women do many jobs at a time better than men.（3）What can you learn from Paragraph 4?A . Our children needed more spatial skills.B . Women may have more feelings than men.C . Young boys may be stronger than young girls.D . More women take up jobs requiring speech skills.（4）The passage is mainly about _.A . ways of being more intelligentB . differences between men and womenC . studies on brains between two sexesD . studies on white matter and grey matter24. （6分）阅读理解Is Being Active Helpful for Better Grades?For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isnt always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains. In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally difficult subjects, such as maths.What does this mean for children who arent active? Researchers think that if kids dont get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes, played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didnt do any activities. They took part in testing both before the experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for maths and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy, but will also negatively (消极地) affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.Parents complain children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr. Belton, an expert, she said: If youd like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play.（1）What does the expression rest easy in Paragraph I probably mean? A . Stop worryingB . Keep changingC . Avoid goingD . Continue learning（2）What does the writer want to tell us? A . Doing more homework can get better marks.B . All work and no play can do better on testing.C . Being active can do better on school subjects.D . Spending more time on exercise can have a better body.（3）To help children get better grades, parents should . A . ask the researchers for help.B . encourage them to do more activities.C . help them to organize their schoolwork.D . let them solve problems by themselves.四、 句型转换 (共5题；共21分)25. （1分）I am going to take summer classes at Beijing University.(对画线部分提问)_you going to take summer classes?26. （10分）句型转换，一空一词。 （1）She has read the book，too.
