25、echnology，engineering，and mathematics(STEM) careers is often attributed (归因于) to men being believed to be better at the sort of thinking those fields require. Though studies have debunked the view,they have largely been based on results acquired from various several standardized tests. Now, research
26、ers from Pennsylvania S Carnegie Mellon University have found evidence that is hard to overlook; MRI (磁共振成像) proves that young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems. The groundbreaking study to evaluate the biological gender differences in the math t
27、alent of young children was led by the university s professor of neuroscience, Jessica Cantlon. For their study ,the team selected 104 young children, between 3 and 10 years old, divided almost equally by gender. The scientists used a functional MRI to observe their brain activity as they engaged in
28、 math tasks. These included watching age appropriate educational videos and doing math exercises such as counting and addition,as well as reading for comparison. “We looked at which areas of the brain respond more strongly to mathematics content in the videos and tasks, compared to non math content
29、like reading or the alphabet, Cantlon said.“When we do that in lite girls, we see a particular network of the brain respond,and when we do that same analysis in boys, we see the exact same regions.” So why do girls and young women tend to avoid math and STEM careers in general? Cantlon thinks it may
30、 be rooted in social and cultural conventions. Previous studies have indicated that parents tend to spend more time with young boys in play that inspire spatial cognition (空间认知)-such as toys that involve learning number skills and shapes and solving puzzles. Educators were also observed to spend mor

33、 C. Boys and Girls: Equally Talented in Math D. STEM Careers: Calling for More w omen 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇说明文。研究表明，年轻男孩和女孩大脑中使用相同的机制和网络来解决数学问题。并 介绍了研究的过程以及解释了女孩和年轻女性一般都倾向于避开数学和 STEM 职业的原因。 【8 题详解】 词义猜测题。第一段中的“The low percentage of women in science ，technology，engineering，and math
34、ematics(STEM) careers is often attributed (归因于) to men being believed to be better at the sort of thinking those fields require.”女性在科学、技术、工程和数学职业上的低比例往往归因于男性被认为更 擅长这些领域需要的思考方式。“young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems.”年轻男孩和女孩大脑中使用相同的机制和网络来解决数学问题。
35、根据句意，并 且 though 表示转折，可以推断出前后观点不一致，所以，研究结果驳斥了前面的观点。由此可知 “debunked”的意思是反驳，故选 A项。 【9 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的内容“the team selected 104 young children, between 3 and 10 years old, divided almost equally by gender. The scientists used a functional MRI to observe their brain activity ”在他 们的研究中，研究小组选择了 104名年龄在 3到
36、10岁之间的儿童，他们的性别几乎相同。科学家们使 用功能性核磁共振成像来观察可知，第二段讲述了研究对象，观察的方法，研究的内容等，所以 第二段关注了研究的过程。故选 B 项。 【10 题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段的内容“it may be rooted in social and cultural conventions. Previous studies have indicated that parents tend to spend more time with young boys in play that inspire spatial cognition (空 间认知)su
37、ch as toys that involve learning number skills and shapes and solving puzzles. Educators were also observed to spend more time with boys during math class.” Cantlon 认为这可能根植于社会和文化习俗。 之前的研究表明，父母倾向于花更多的时间和小男孩一起玩能激发他们空间认知能力的游戏，比如学 习数字技能、形状和解决谜题的玩具。研究还发现，教育工作者在数学课上花更多的时间和男孩在一 起。可知，传统的偏见导致了 STEM职业中缺少女性。故选
38、 C项。 【11 题详解】 主旨大意题。 文章第一段中的“young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems”（年轻男孩和女孩大脑中使用相同的机制和网络来解决数学问题。 ）是全文的 主题句，后文解释了研究的过程以及女孩和年轻女性一般都倾向于避开数学和 STEM 职业的原因。可 知，所以这篇文章最合适的题目是“男孩和女孩:在数学方面同样有天赋”，故选 C项。 【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过 关键词句来概括(如
39、议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映 人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心 的。该文是介绍一个研究结果的，该类文章的中心一般就在第一段。因此，考生直接抓住第一段中的 “young girls and boys use the same mechanisms and networks in the brain to solve math problems”即可找 到文章中心。 D Algorithms (算法) affect nearly every part of a persons experience
40、 on the Internet. Search engines are most people s entry to the Internet.If a person wants to find information about something, they usually start with a search bar.As soon as they start typing or choosing links,the algorithm starts gathering data about every choice users make and uses that data to
41、try to find the websites or information that most directly relate to what the user is looking for.

She says search engine algorithms can help you find what might be the most useful information faster. But she says it is in the interests of Internet compani
44、es to keep users on the Internet for as long as possible so they see more ads. The current generation of young people grow up using the Internet and they are prone(易于遭受) to distrustful information That is why schools must train students how to use the Internet more wisely in their Studies.It is the
45、duty of education to keep students informed about the world around them. Yet it is not the duty of education alone. And lawmakers should consider increasing data protection rules. Individuals can also use a wide variety of websites to avoid algorithmic controls. 12. How do algorithms affect users In

48、 most likely from? A. Science. B. Entertainment. C. Advertisement. D. Fashion. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 本文是议论文。文章分析了搜索引擎算法在用户搜索中所起的作用、存在的问题。以及如何应对 搜索引擎算法控制。 【12 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As soon as they start typing or choosing links, the algorithm starts gathering data about every choice users make
49、 and uses that data to try to find the websites or information that most directly relate to what the user is looking for.（一旦用户统计输入或选择链接，算法就开始收集用户 做出的每一个选择的数据，并使用这些数据试图找到与用户在寻找的内容最直接相关的网站或信 息。 ） ”由此可知， 算法是收集与用户寻找的内容相关的网站或信息， 因此算法决定用户接收到的内容， 从而影响用户的上网体验。 故选 D 项。 【13 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中 Hobbs 所说的话“Renee Hobbs, director of the Media Education Lab at
