It’s an age-old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from Venus. Males and females __21_ different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to basic differences in __22_ structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets and __23__ math problems while women are better at memorizing words and_24__faces. Why the differences?
A test of the brain’s electrical activity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions---one controlling the sense of space, __25__, the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains _26__from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women cared for the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids.
Whatever the __27__, the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed __28__ differently, men and women may be equally capable. They may simply __29__different abilities. Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her __30__ of landmarks. Both of them find the car. But chances are, they’ll still argue about who’s the better driver and who’s better at finding the way home.

举一反三
B
Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.
A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.
45. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.
A. the government is usually the first to name a place
B. many places tend to have more than one name
C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named
D. people prefer the place names given by the government
46. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Change suddenly. B. Change significantly(有重大意义的).
C. Disappear mysteriously. D. Disappear very slowly.
47. Which of the following places is named after a person?
A. Raffles Place. B. Selector Airbase.
C. Piccadilly Circus. D. Paya Lebar Crescent.
48. Bras Basah Road is named _______.
A. after a person B. after a place C. after an activity D. by its shape

One student took a box of chicken to class,another carried on a cell phone 31 and still another whistled loudly every time the 32 turned his back.
Reform school? No. College.
More and more, professors say, they are coming across 33 students in their classrooms. Many of today’s young scholars (学者) arrive late, leave 34 , talk loud or take care of personal 35 such as paying bills during class.
Why are the students behaving badly?
“Because they can,” said a student of University of North Texas. “A lot of the time, the professors let them get 36 with it.”
Some educators say it is time to bring politeness back to their classrooms—and even 37
taking some of the blame for bad behavior. They say that rude students are by no means the majority but that one of them can ruin an entire 38 .
People are 39 when they learn that impolite behavior is becoming more and more common in 40 education, says Dr Gerald Amanda, a counselor at City College of San Francisco. They 41 some high school students to misbehave but think those who get to 42 will behave more politely.
Dr Amanda believes that society in 43 has become more tolerant (容忍的) of rude behavior and 44 people in power, including professors, no longer 45 standards for 46 . That leads to a growing imprudence (轻率行为) 47 some college students. “There’s a great 48 of bad behavior in the world around them, and young people see it and 49 disrespect,” said Dr Amanda, 50 that sometimes students “have no idea that they are being rude.”

The polarization has aroused wide concern among the public in recent years. The State Development and Reform Commission(国家发改委) said the Gini Coefficient had reached 0.47 for China, up from o.29 two decades ago. Usually, a country with a number above 0.4 is warned to pay attention to the income inequality problem.
To find out the people’s view, the survey covered 10,250 respondents, between the ages of 20 and 30 with a college education and a monthly salary between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan. Surprisingly, most disagreed with the view of experts who claim the urban-rural difference is causing the widening gap. More than 70 percent of the respondents believed that “ the group of special interests” is the prime reason for the polarization, followed by “people in power” 68 percent, and “bosses” 50 percent.
Another unexpected finding is that almost all agreed that a good educational background and knowledge were not the decisive factors in gaining wealth. About 95 percent said rich people are not necessarily those who are able to speak English or have a college education.
Today in China, rich people , accounting for 10 percent of the population, control 45 percent of the total social fortune, and poor people, also 10 percent of the population, only control 1.5 percent, according to an investigation published by the National Bureau of Statistics last June.

D.a measure of income inequality |
A.the urban-rural difference | B.the group of special interests |
C.the people in power | D.the bosses |
小题4:What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Close the Gap between the Rich and Poor |
B.Surveys conducted by China Youth Daily |
C.Higher education, Higher pay |
D.Rich-Poor Divide Serious, Study Finds |
Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability.
In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements(违反;侵犯)of civil rights. Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes.
Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.
Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.
Only when public attitudes advance as far as laws have will disabled people be fully able to take their rightful place in society.
36. A “developmental" disability ______.
A. develops very slowly over time
B. is caused by forces
C. occurs in youth and affects development
D. is getting more and more severe
37.Most disabled people used to die early because ______.
A. disabilities destroyed major bodily functions
B. they were not very well looked after
C. medical techniques were not available
D. they were too poor to get proper treatment
38. In the author"s opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society, ______.
A.more laws should be passed
B.public attitudes should be changed
C.government should provide more aids
D.more public facilities should be set up
39. Which of the following cannot be inferred(推断)from the passage ?
A.Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life.
B.The public tends to look down upon the disabled people.
C.The disabled people feel inferior to those surrounding them.
D. Discriminatory laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others.
40. The best title for this passage might be ______.
A.Handicaps(不利条件;障碍;)of People with Disabilities
B.The physical difficulties of the Disabled
C.The Causes for Disabilities
D.Medical Treatments for Disabilities
The person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat.Your talkative seatmate doesn’t understand your need for sleep.And the aircraft’s bathroom is a total mess.These situations can make even a short flight unbearable.Hopefully you don’t cause these unpleasant experiences for others.Instead,you can set an example by following these common airplane courtesies.
Always recline your seat slowly.There’s nothing worse than suddenly being slammed in the knees by the seat in front of you.In addition,don’t keep your seat reclined for the entire flight.Always keep it upright position before going to the restroom(or anytime you leave your seat).
Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtime.Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays have been collected.It’s hard for passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays.And when using the bathroom,always clean up after your-self-the next user will be grateful!
Keep your body--and your possessions-to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your in-flight seatmate(s).Share the armrest,especially on a long flight.Also,be careful not to kick or push on the seat in front of you,and don’t allow your children to do so either.
While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight,not everyone does.Some people may want to nap,read or work.If the conversation seems one—sided,take the hint.
If you are traveling with someone and want to chat,keep your voices low.If using electronic gadgets,keep the volume down.People can still hear through your headphones if the volume is too high.
When exiting the plane,if others are having trouble with their carry-on luggage,help them if you can.If you can’t help,wait patiently,and don’t push past people to get off the airplane.
On your next flight,remember that it all boils down to the golden rule.Treat others the way you want to be treated !
