At least, that is what most men are convinced of. Psychologists view the subject e
33、ither as a matter of 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,
34、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 processesthe link between the two halves of the brain. The two halves are linked by a trunk line of between 200 and 300 million nerves, the corpus
35、 callosum (胼胝体). Scientists have found quite recently that the corpus callosum in women is always larger and probably 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. T
36、he 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 produc
37、es 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 pic
38、tures, 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 w
39、omen 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 trunk line, there is an unalterable distinction between the sexes. We shan“t know
40、 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
41、 the difference is in the parts of the brain involved in intellect, we should be looking for differences in intellectual processing.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following statement is CORRECT?（分数：1.00）A.Biologists are conducting research where psychologists have given up.B.rain differences point to sup
42、eriority of one sex over the other.C.Results of scientific research fail to support popular belief.D.The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known.(2).According to the passage it is commonly believed that brain differences are caused by _ factors.（分数：1.00）A.biologicalB

44、in structure as a wholeB.the functioning of part of the brainC.the distinction between the sexesD.the effects of the corpus callosum(5).What is the main purpose of the passage?（分数：1.00）A.To outline the research findings on the brain structure.B.To explain the link between sex and brain structure.C.T
45、o discuss the various factors that cause brain differences.D.To suggest new areas in brain research.十三、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Can electricity cause cancer? In a society that literally runs on electric power, the very idea seems preposterous. But for more than a decade, a growing band of scientist
46、s and journalists has pointed to studies that seem to link exposure to electromagnetic fields with increased risk of leukemia and other malignancies. The implications are unsettling, to say the least, since everyone comes into contact with such fields, which are generated by everything electrical, f
47、rom power lines and antennas to personal computers and micro-wave ovens. Because evidence on the subject is inconclusive and often contradictory, it has been hard to decide whether concern about the health effects of electricity is legitimateor the worst kind of paranoia. Now the alarmists have gain
48、ed some qualified support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In the executive summary of a new scientific review, released in draft form late last week, the EPA has put forward what amounts to the most serious government warning to date. The agency tentatively concludes that scientific e
49、vidence “suggests a casual link“ between extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fieldsthose having very longwave-lengthsand leukemia, lymphoma and brain cancer, While the report falls short of classifying ELF fields as probable carcinogens, it does identify the common 60-hertz magnetic field as “a possible, but not proven, cause of cancer in humans“. The report is no reason to panicor even to lost sleep. If there is a cancer risk, it is a small one. The evidence is still so controversial that the draft stirred a great d
