26、九、SECTION 2: STUDA SKI(总题数：6，分数：60.00)How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.Most fashio

27、n magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does n

28、ot apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boys hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our

29、friends think we are odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats for example, in cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside.

30、 In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats. More American men followed his example.There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they droppe

31、d to ankle length, then they got shorter and shorter and miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again.Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your

32、 hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy“ look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then

33、we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if yo

34、u dont look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and youll see that no one else does either!（分数：10.00）(1).The author thinks that people are_.A. satisfied with their appearanceB. concerned about appearance in old ageC. far from neglecting what is in fashionD. reluctant to follow the trends

35、in fashion（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Fashion magazines and TV advertisements seem to link fashion to_.A. confidence in lifeB. personal dressC. individual hair styleD. personal future（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Causes of fashions are_.A. uniformB. variedC. unknownD. inexplicable（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Present-day so

36、ciety is much freer and easier because it emphasizes_.A. uniformityB. formalityC. informalityD. individuality（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Care about appearance in formal situations.B. Fashion in formal and informal situations.C. Ignoring appearance in informal

37、 situations.D. Ignoring appearance in all situations.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.Womens minds work differently from mens. At least, that is what most men are convinced of. Psychologists view the subject either as a matter of frustration or a joke. Now the biologists have moved into this minefield, and some of

38、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

39、that is used in the most complex intellectual processesthe 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 probabl

40、y richer in nerve fibers 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

41、 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

42、 and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together. For most people, the left half is used for word-handling, 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

43、 the two halves work. And, according 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 be

44、tter at maths and physics. If these differences correspond with the differences in the hemispheric trunkline, there 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 subjects and the function

45、ing of the two halves of tile brain, and we cannot understand how the two halves interact via the corpus callosum. But this striking difference must have some effects and, because the difference is in the parts of the brain involved in intellect, we should be looking for differences in intellectual

46、processing.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements is true?A. Results of scientific research show that biology causes the gender differences.B. The author holds that nurture rather than nature determines the sex differences.C. Brain differences point to superiority of one sex over the other.D. The research shed light on the relationship between the skills and the functioning of the brain.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, it is commonly believed that brain diffe
