30、re is no denying it: Boys think differently from girls. Even though recent brain research evidence is controversial(争议的 ), that conclusion seems inescapable. One clue to brain differences between the sexes came from observation of infants. One study found that from shortly after birth, females are m
31、ore sensitive to certain types of sounds, particularly to a mothers voice. Female babies are also more easily awoken by loud noises. Tests show girls have increased skin sensitivity, particularly in the fingertips, and are better at fine motor performance. Female infants speak sooner, have larger vo
32、cabularies and rarely show speech mistakes. (Stuttering, for instance, occurs almost only among boys.) Girls exceed boys in language abilities, and this early linguistic bias(倾向 ) often continues throughout life. Girls read sooner, learn foreign languages more easily and, as a result, are mole likel
33、y to enter to occupations involving language mastery. Boys, in contrast, show an early visual superiority. They are also clumsier, performing poorly at something like arranging a row of beads, but excel at other activities calling on total body coordination. A study of preschool children by psycholo
34、gist Diane McGuinness of Standford University found boys more curious, especially in regard to exploring his environment. Her studies also confirmed that males are better at manipulating three-dimensional space. There is evidence that some of these differences in performance are differences in brain
35、 organization between boys and girls. Overall, verbal and spatial abilities in boys tend to be “packaged“ into different hemisphere: the right hemisphere for nonverbal tasks, the left for verbal tasks. But in girls nonverbal skills are likely to be found on both sides of the brain. The hemispheres o
36、f womens brains may be less specialized for these functions. 66 Which is true of this passage? （ A） The other families might not even know a family that lived close by in the past. （ B） We live in an age of machines when machines can do everything. （ C） Neighboring is not as common as it used to be.

38、cessary in our time of machines. （ D） Machines call replace good neighbors as they can work for people and entertain people. 68 Which statement do you agree with after your reading? （ A） When the power failure hit New York City, people only minded their own business. （ B） Nobody needs all the machin
39、es we have made till now. （ C） People used to pay each other with their building, raising, and so on. （ D） People have difficulties in finding a good neighbor today. 69 Research has shown that excessive noise damages peoples hearing. In fact many young people now suffer from deafness from regularly
40、going to discos where the level of noise is so high that they have to shout to make themselves heard. Unfortunately, in spite of modern technology, noise is very much part of our modern world planes flying overhead, traffic thundering along busy roads, television, portable radios, all produce noise
41、to which we have become so accustomed that we hardly notice it. In fact people going on country holidays have been known to complain that it is too quiet. They actually miss the noise they are used to in their daily lives. The problem is that noise, though it does not necessarily cause deafness, cau
42、ses anxiety and this can in the long run prove harmful. However, the decision about more or less noise cannot be left to the scientists alone. It is up to us to decide what kind of world we want to live in. 69 Noise is sure to lead to _ in the long run according to the article. （ A） the loss of list

The first is known as “documents against payment“ and the second “documen
46、t against acceptance.“ In both cases the first step is for the exporter to deliver goods on board ship and, in exchange; he receives the Bill of Lading from the shipping company. Secondly, the exporter writes the Bill of Exchange, which is a sort of cheque. Then the exporter takes the Bill of Lading
47、, the Bill of Exchange and the other shipping documents to his bank. The bank sends the documents to the importers bank. When the procedure is “documents against payment,“ the importer next goes to his bank in Australia. He pays the money which the Australian bank sends to the exporters bank in the
48、UK. In exchange the bank gives him the Bill of Lading and other documents. Finally, when the ship arrives at its destination, the importer gives the captain the Bill of lading and receives the goods. When the procedure is “documents against acceptance,“ the first four steps are the same, but then th
49、e importer does not pay his bank the money for the goods. Instead he writes the word “accepted“ on the Bill of Exchange and signs it. This means that he promises to pay the money at a later date usually 90 or 180 days after the Bill is written. The bank then gives him the Bill of lading and other documents. The importers bank sends the accepted Bill of Exchange to the exporter, who now has proof that he will be paid in the future. When the ship arrives at its de
