The researchers found that 72 percent of girls successfully completed their high school education. That compared to 65 percent o
36、f boys. The newspaper Education Week noted earlier this year that, in some ways, what people are worried about now is really not new.

37、tates. Education Week noted the results of an international reading test in 2003. Fifteen-year-olds took the test in 41 countries. Girls scored higher than boys in almost every country.

38、ay an important part. But recent findings suggest that another part of the answer lies in differences between the male and female brains. These include differences in learning rates.

42、 scored lower than girls on tests in the National Assessment of Educational Progress since at least 1971可知至少从1971年起男孩在全国教育进步评价的考试中的成绩就低于女孩。由此可见，题干说过去 20年来女孩的成绩一直优于男孩，与原文意思相符，是正确的。 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 事实细节的找寻和判断。根据原文 the differences are not limited to the United States可知这一差别并非只出现在美国。由此可见，题干说法与原文相符，是正 确
43、的。 3 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 事实细节的找寻和判断。关于男孩女孩的不同，根据原文 Cultural and economic influences play an important part But recent findings suggest that another part of the answer lies in differences between the male and female brain可知文化和经济影响起了重要作用，但近来研究结果表明另一因素是男女大脑的 不同。由此可见，题干的说法是不全面的，因此与原文不符是错误的。 4 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析
44、】 推理判断题。根据原文 But recent findings suggest that another part of the answer lies in differences between the male and female brain可知近来研究结果表明另一因素是男女大脑的不同。而后说者详细对此作出详尽阐释。由此可推断题干说男孩女孩成绩不同的主要原因是因为男女大脑的差异，与原文主要内容相 符，是正确的。 5 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 事实细节的找寻和判断。根据原文 boys may not be able to develop language and reading
45、skills as well as girls do可知男孩发展语言和阅读技能的能力也许不如女孩好。由此可见，题干 “女孩学习语言的能力比男孩强 ”与原文相符，是正确的。 6 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 事实细节的找寻和判断。原文在谈到女孩在数学和科学课的问题时说 Efforts to improve the situation for girls included hiring more female teachers由此可知，为了提高女孩在数学和科学方面的学习能力，学校雇佣了更多的女教师。因此题干的说法与原文显然不符，是错误的。 7 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 因果关系的找寻和判断
