After 20 years of marriage, a husband
may still not understand his wife. How is it that
she is never at a 1
for words? How can she recall the names of a couple they met on
holiday years ago? Now we know 2
to tell him: it’s her brain.
Although there are obviously cultural
reasons for the differences in emotions and behavior, recent
breakthrough research reveals that the root of many puzzling
differences between men and women may 3
in the head. Men’s and women’s brains
4 much in common, but
they are definitely not the same
5
size,
structure or insight. Broadly speaking, a woman’s
brain, like
her body, is ten to fifteen percent smaller than
a man’s, 6
the regions
dedicated to language may be
more densely packed with brain cells.
Girls generally speak earlier and
read faster. The reason may be 7
females use both sides of the brain when they
read. In 8 , males
rely only on the left side. At every age,
women’s memories top men’s. They have a greater ability to
associate names with faces than men do, and they
are 9 at recalling
list. The events people remember best are those
that an emotion is attached to. Since women use more of their right
brains, which process emotions, they may do this
automatically.
While we don’t yet know what all
these findings imply, one thing is 10
: male and female brains do
the same things, but they do them differently.

【内容概要】
本文以夫妻之间的表达能力及记忆能力的差异为切入点，科学地解释了女性大脑分管语言区域的脑细胞排列紧密，以及女性擅长记忆的原因。最后，作者总结两性大脑不同的行为方式决定了两性在记忆及表达上的差异。【参考译文】
结婚20年了，丈夫还是不太了解他的妻子——她为什么总能巧舌如簧？她怎么还能清楚地记得多年前度假时碰到的夫妻的姓名？现在这些问题有答案了：她的大脑。
尽管情绪和行为上的许多差异源于文化差异，但是最近的研究有了突破性的发现，即两性之间的诸多难以解释的差异在于大脑的差异。两性的大脑有许多相似之处，但是尺寸、结构或者洞察力存在差别。总体来说，同躯干一样，女性的大脑尺寸比男性的小10%~15%，因此分管语言区域的脑细胞排列得更为紧密。
女孩会说话的时间较早、阅读速度较快，可能是由于她们阅读时左右脑并用，而男性仅依赖于左脑。在任何年龄段，女性的记忆力总优于男性。女性比男性更擅长将容貌与姓名联系在一起。女性更擅长回忆清单上的内容。由于人们记忆的事件总是那些引起情绪波动较大的事件，而女性更多使用她们的右脑分管情绪，所以会自然而然地增加记忆。
虽然我们不太明确这些发现的深层含义，但是有一点是清楚的：两性的大脑做着同样的事情，但是是用不同的方式。【精解精析】
1. C。【答案详解】本题考查固定短语搭配。短语at a loss for
words表示“茫然而语塞”。
2. A。【答案详解】本题为推理判断题。从后面的it’s her
brain可知，空格处应填的词能够引导的是名词性短语，选项中可以引导名词性短语或从句的只有what。
3.
D。【答案详解】本题考查固定短语搭配。选项中的lie可以组成短语lie
in“存在，在于”，在表达“原因在于…”的时候经常与in连用，成为固定搭配。
4. A。【答案详解】本题考查固定短语搭配。短语have
something in common表示“有共同点”。
5.
A。【答案详解】本题考查介词的用法。in多指“在某点上，就某一点来说”；at多指“在某一程度上”；with一般表示伴随的状态；for表原因。故选A。
6.
C。【答案详解】推理判断题。从上文来看，本句是由上文得出的结论，选项C．thus有“因此，于是”的意思，表结果，符合题意。A.yet仍，至今；B.hence因此，从此；D.then当时，然后。
7.C。【答案详解】本题考查表语从句。名词reason作主语时，后面的表语从句表示原因时要用that引导。
8.B。【答案详解】本题考查固定短语。A.
in fact实际上；B. in contrast相反；C.
in addition此外；D. in
consequence因而，由于…。这里是把两性进行比较，并与前文形成转折，故选B。
9.
B。【答案详解】本题为文意理解题。对男女的记忆力进行比较，前文已经说过女人在记名字方面比男人强，这句话承接上文，我们可以推断说：女人的记忆力比男人强。故选B。
10.
D。【答案详解】本题为文意理解题。句首的while含有“对比，相反”的转折意思，因此主句应该表达的含义与前面的don’t yet
know“尚不清楚”相反，即“清楚的(clear)”。

【难句解析】
① Although there are obviously
cultural reasons for the differences in emotions and behavior,
recent breakthrough research
reveals that the root of many puzzling differences between men and
women may lie
in the head.
该句主干为包含although引导的让步状语从句的主从复合句。主句中谓语动词reveals后接由that引导的宾语从句。宾语从句中的主语“the
root”为比喻用法，指代“the basic reason”。
② Broadly speaking, a woman’s brain,
like her body, is ten to fifteen percent smaller
than a man’s, thus the regions
dedicated to language may be
more densely packed with brain cells.
此句中“Broadly speaking”是插入语，统领主句，“like
her body”作插入语，补充说明主语“a woman’s
brain”。从句由thus引导表示结果的状语从句，结果状语从句的主语是“the
regions”，后接分词短语“dedicated to
language”作后置定语。
