is
a
passage
with
ten
blanks.
You

required

select
oneword
for
each
blank
from
a
list
of
choices
given

before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a

Many men and women have long bought into the idea that there are
“
male
”
and
“
female
”
brains ,believing that explains just about every
difference between the sexes.A new study 26 that belief, questioning
whether brains really can be distinguished by gender.
In
the
study,
Tel
Aviv
University
researchers
27
for
sex
differences
throughout the entire human brain
And what did they find? Not much. Rather than offer evidence for 28
brains as
“
male
”
or
“
female
”
,research shows that brains fall into a
wide range , with most people falling right in the middle.
Daphna Joel ,who led the study, said her research found that while
there
are
some
gender
‐
based
29
,many
different
types
of
brain
can
’
t
always
be distinguished by gender.
While
the
“
average
”
male
and
“
average
”
female
brains
were
30different,
you couldn
’
t tell
it
by looking
at individual brain scans. Only a small
31of people had
“
all-male
”
or
“
all- female
”
characteristics.
Larry
Cahill,
an
American
neuroscientist(
神经科学家
)
,
said
the
study
is an important addition to a growing body of research questioning 32
beliefs about gender and brain function. But he cautioned against
concluding from this study that all brains are the same, 33 of gender.
“
There
’
s
a
mountain
of
evidence
34
the
importance
of
sex
influences
at all levels of brain function ,
”
he told The Seattle Times.
If
anything,
he
said,
the
study
35that
gender
plays
a
very
important
role in the brain
—“
even when we are not clear exactly how.
”
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are requir
ed to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word ban
k following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your
choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the cor
responding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through th
e centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
It’
s our guilty pleasure: Watching TV is the most common everyday activity,
after work and sleep, in many parts of the world. Americans view five hours of
TV each day, and while we know that spending so much time sitting
(
36
)
can le
ad to obesity (
肥胖症
) and other diseases, researchers have now quantified just
how
(
37
)
being a couch potato can be.
In an analysis of data from eight large
(
38
)
published studies, a Harvard
-led group reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association that for
every two hours per day spent channel
(
39
)
, the risk of developing Type 2 di
abetes(
糖尿病
) rose 20% over 8.5 years, the risk of heart disease increased 15%
over a
(
40
)
, and the odds of dying prematurely
(
41
)
13% during a seven-yea
r follow-up. All of these
(
42
)
are linked to a lack of physical exercise. But
compared with other sedentary(
久坐的
) activities, like knitting, viewing TV may
be especially
(
43
)
at promoting unhealthy habits. For one, the sheer number
of hours we pass watching TV dwarfs the time we spend on anything else. And oth
er studies have found that watching ads for beer and popcorn may make you more
likely to
(
44
)
them.
Even so, the authors admit that they didn’t compare different sedentary ac
tivities to
(
45
)
whether TV watching was linked to a greater risk of diabetes,
heart disease or early death compared with, say, reading.
A) climbed B) consume C) decade D) determine E) effective F) harmful G) outcom
es
H) passively I) previously J) resume K) suffered L) surfing M) term N) terminal
s O) twisting
参考答案解析
:
36. passively
解析:
sitting passively
被动坐着
从词性判 断,
36
题应该选一个副词来修饰
sitting
这个动名词,而备选项中只 有两个副词,
一个是
passively
被动地,一个是
previousl y
之前,再根据语义逻辑,坐着那看电视的行
为应该是一种被动行为,而不存在前后之分。
37. harmful
解析:
quantified just how harmful being a couch potato
量化长时间看电视的严重危
害
通过分析
how ( ) being a couch potato can be
这句话的句子成分,
得出
how
这个副
词之后应该接一个形容词,符合词性条件的备选项,一个是
effective
有效的,一个是
ha
rmful
有害的。根据语义逻辑,长时间看电视是有害 的,故选
harmful
。
38. previously
解析:
previously published studies
之前公布的研究
38
题空格处应该填一个副词来修饰
publis hed
这个词,参考
36
题的解析,备选项中现在只
剩下一个副词就是
previously
,刚好填入此处。
39. surfing
解析:
spent channel surfing
,直接翻译为在频道冲浪,意 译为看电视。这里的
channel
频道指代
television
电视;而 “surfing
冲浪”指代“watchin
g
看”,我们经常看到上网
常 用
surfing
一词,
这里运用了仿词,
将
“上网冲浪”
的
surfing
借过来用来指
“看电视
“。
以上可以理解为英语中 的委婉表达。
40. decade
