第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文,从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A

A controversial new study has claimed that men really are more intelligent than women．The study concluded that men’s IQs are almost four points higher than women’s.

British-born researcher John Philippe Ruston says the finding could explain why so few women make it to the top in the workplace. He claims the “glass ceiling” phenomenon is probably due to inferior (差的) intelligence，rather than lack of opportunity.

The University of Western Ontario psychologist reached his conclusion after scrutinizing the results of university ability tests taken by 1 00,000 students aged 17 and 18 of both sexes.

A focus on the factors such as the ability to quickly grasp a complex concept，verbal reasoning skills and creativity― some of the key factors of intelligence ―showed the male teenagers had IQs that were an average of 3.63 points higher. The average person has an IQ around 100.

The findings，which held true (适合) for all classes and levels of education, overturn (推翻) 100-year opinion that men and women average the same in general mental ability. They also conflict with evidence that girls do better in school exams than boys.

But Professor Ruston argues that the faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining (胜过) boys in the classroom.

46. The report is mainly about ______.

A. a study that shows men are cleverer than women B. the “glass ceiling” phenomenonC. Professor Ruston’s theory on IQ D. the difference between male and female

47. The underlined word “scrutinizing” in the third paragraph probably means ______.

A. making up B. carrying out C. looking at D. examining carefully

48. We can infer that the average woman has an IQ of ______.

A. a little less than 100 B. 100 C. more than 100 D. 96.37

49. Which of the following opinions does Professor Ruston NOT accept?

A. Men’s IQs are almost four points higher than women’s.

B. Few women make it to the top in the workplace.

C. Men and women average the same in general mental ability.

D. The faster maturing of girls leads to them outshining boys in the classroom.
