“T repair ancient bks, we have a lt t d,” says Sng Jing, 34, wh has been wrking in the restratin divisin fr ancient bks at the Natinal Library f China in Beijing fr eight years. Befre starting a restratin prject, Sng and her clleagues have t evaluate the subject t cnsider what prblems can be slved thrugh restratin and thse that cannt. Fearing the chemicals in cmmercially prduced pastes (胶水) might harm the bks, they have t make the glues they need by themselves, starting frm remving starch(淀粉) frm flur.
“The restratin als requires high levels f cntrl in brushing the paper. If the pressure is nt prperly cntrlled during the brushing prcess, the paper may tear, but if the tuch is t light, the paper wn’t stick,” Sng explains.
Sng was determined t jin the field frm an early age. As a child, she was attracted by dcumentaries abut the wrld’s cultural relics (遗物) and became deeply interested in the art f artifact restratin.
In senir middle schl, thse earlier experiences helped her t set her sights n becming a master restrer f ancient bks.
There were nt many schls ffering cultural-relic restratin curses back then, and her dream destinatin, Peking University, nly ffered penings every ther year.
As Sng lked int undergraduate curricula (本科课程) arrangement fr that particular field f study, she fund it was mstly related t chemistry. Therefre, she chse t start a chemistry degree at Fudan University in Shanghai in 2008. In her spare time, she cntinued t read up n cultural relics and study hw museums perate.
“I gt t learn hw certain aspects f chemistry are ging a lng way in restring cultural relics,” she says.
After graduating frm Fudan, she was accepted as a master’s candidate t the cultural heritage preservatin prgram at Peking University. Frm then n, she has been n a missin t make her dreams a reality.

Financial regulatins in Britain have impsed a rather unusual rule n the bsses f big banks. Starting next year, any guaranteed bnus f tp executives culd be delayed 10 years if their banks are under investigatin fr wrngding. The main purpse f this “clawback” rule is t hld bankers respnsible fr harmful risk-taking and t restre public trust in financial institutin. Yet fficials als hpe fr a much larger benefit: mre lng-term decisin-making nt nly by banks but als by all crpratins, t build a strnger ecnmy fr future generatins.
“Shrt-termism” r the desire fr quick prfits, has wrsened in publicly traded cmpanies, says the Bank f England’s tp ecnmist, Andrew Haldane. He qutes a giant f classical ecnmies, Alfred Marshall, in describing this financial impatience as acting like “Children wh pick the strawberries ut f their pudding t eat them at nce” rather than putting them aside t be eaten last.
The average time fr hlding a stck in bth the United States and Britain, he ntes, has drpped frm seven years t seven mnths in recent decades. Transient (短期的) investrs, wh demand high quarterly prfits frm cmpanies, can hld back a firm’s effrts t invest in lng-term research r t build up custmer lyalty. This has been called “quarterly capitalism”.
In additin, new digital technlgies have allwed mre rapid trading f equities (股票), quicker use f infrmatin, and thus shrtens attentin spans in financial markets. “There seems t be an advantage f shrt-term thinking at the expense f lng-term investing,” said Cmmissiner Daniel Gallagher f the US Securities and Exchange Cmmissin in speech this week.
In the US, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act f 2002 has pushed mst public cmpanies t delay perfrmance bnuses fr senir executives by abut a year, slightly helping reduce “shrt-termism.” In its latest survey f CEO pay, The Wall Street Jurnal finds that “a substantial part” f executive pay is nw tied t perfrmance.
Much mre culd be dne t encurage “lng-termism,” such as changes in the tax cde and quicker disclsure (披露) f stck acquisitins. In France, sharehlders wh hld nt a cmpany investment fr at least tw years can smetimes earn mre vting rights in a cmpany.
Within cmpanies, the right cmpensatin design can prvide mtivatin fr executives t think beynd their wn time at the cmpany and n behalf f all sharehlders. Britain’s new rule is a reminder t bankers that sciety has an interest in their perfrmance, nt just fr the shrt term but fr the lng term.
28、One reasn fr impsing the new rule is the regulatins _________.
A. enhance banker’s sense f respnsibility
B. help crpratins achieve larger prfits
C. build a new system f financial regulatin
D. guarantee the bnuses f tp executives
29、What can be learned abut “Shrt-termism” frm the passage?
A. Children always pursue shrt-term prfits by eating strawberries first.
B. The influence f it n the cmpanies can be negative in the lng run.
C. It will bring high prfits fr the cmpany, thus keeping its custmers.
D. Digital technlgy acts as a dminant cntributr t its wrsening.
30、The US and France examples in paragraph 5 and 6 are used t illustrate ________.
A. the bstacles t preventing “shrt-termism”
B. the significance f lng-term thinking
C. the appraches t prmting “lng-termism”
D. the ppularity f shrt-term thinking
31、Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Failure f Quarterly Capitalism
B. Patience as a Crprate Virtue
C. Decisiveness Required f Tp Executives
D. Frustratin f Risk-taking Bankers
“Tw centuries ag, Lewis and Clark left St. Luis t explre the new lands acquired in the Luisiana Purchase,” Gerge W. Bush said, annuncing his desire fr a prgram t send men and wmen t Mars. They made that jurney in the spirit f discvery. America has ventured frth int space fr the same reasns.
Yet there are vital differences between Lewis and Clark’s expeditin and a Mars missin. First, they were headed t a place where hundreds f thusands f peple were already living. Secnd, they were certain t discver places and things f immediate value t the new natin. Third, their venture cst next t nthing by tday’s standards. A Mars missin may be the single mst expensive nn-wartime undertaking in U.S. histry.
Appealing as the thught f travel t Mars is, it des nt mean the jurney makes sense, even cnsidering the human calling t explre. And Mars as a destinatin fr peple makes abslutely n sense with current technlgy.
Present systems fr getting frm Earth’s surface t lw-Earth rbit are s fantastically expensive that merely launching the 1,000 tns r s f spacecraft and equipment a Mars missin wuld require culd be accmplished nly by cutting health-care benefits, educatin spending, r ther imprtant prgrams—r by raising taxes. Absent (缺乏)sme remarkable discvery, astrnauts, gelgists, and bilgists nce n Mars culd d little mre than analyze rcks and feel awestruck (敬畏的) staring int the sky f anther wrld. Yet rcks can be analyzed by autmated prbes withut risk t human life, and at a tiny prtin f the cst f sending peple.
It is interesting t nte that when President Bush unveiled (公开) his prpsal, he listed these recent majr achievements f space explratin: pictures f evidence f water n Mars, discvery f mre than 100 planets utside ur slar system, and study f the sil f Mars. All these accmplishments came frm autmated prbes r autmated space telescpes. Bush’s prpsal, which calls fr reprgramming sme f NASA’s present budget int the Mars effrt, might actually lead t a reductin in such unmanned science—the ne aspect f space explratin that’s wrking really well.
Rather than spend hundreds f billins f dllars t hurl (投) tns tward Mars using current technlgy, why nt take a decade r tw r hwever much time is required researching new launch systems and advanced prpulsin (推进力)? If new launch systems culd put weight int rbit affrdably, and advanced prpulsin culd speed up that lng, slw transit (运输) t Mars, the dream f stepping nt the red planet might becme reality. Mars will still be there when the technlgy is ready.
32、What d Lewis and Clark’s expeditin and a Mars missin have in cmmn?
A. Instant value.B. Human inhabitance.
C. Venture cst.D. Explring spirit.
33、Bush’s prpsal is challenged fr the fllwing reasns EXCEPT that ______.
A. great achievements have already been made in Mars explratin in America.
B. American peple’s well-being will suffer a lt if it is carried ut.
C. its expense is t huge fr the gvernment t affrd.
D. unmanned Mars explratin sunds mre practical and ecnmical fr the mment.
34、Which f the fllwing can be cncluded frm the passage?
A. Ging t Mars using current technlgy is quite sensible.
B. A Mars missin will in turn prmte the develpment f unmanned prgram.
C. Bush’s prpsal is based n three recent great achievements f space explratin.
D. The achievements in space explratin shw hw well manned science has develped.
35、What is the main idea f the passage?
A. Risky as it is, a Mars missin helps maintain America’s psitin as a technlgical leader.
B. A Mars missin is s cstly that it may lead t an ecnmic disaster in America.
C. Smeday peple may g t Mars but nt until it makes technlgical sense.
D. A Mars missin is unnecessary since the scientists nce there wn’t make great discveries.
三、七选五
36、Have yu ever had smene tell yu "If yu eat befre bed, yu are mre likely t get fat!"? ①_______ This belief riginated when researchers fund the relatin between individuals snacking late at night and having a BMI that categrizes them as bese(肥胖的）。
Is eating late at night, especially after 8 pm, really ging t make yu gain weight? One thery is that yur metablism(新陈代谢) slws dwn when yu are asleep. ②_______ Thus the calries yu eat right befre bed wuld nt be burned ff as much as they wuld be while yu're awake. Althugh the science seems pretty sund, recent studies have shwn that metablism changes very little, if at all, while yu are asleep. ③_______ The heart is still beating, lungs are still wrking, and the brain is still very active. All f these actins take energy, meaning while we are asleep, we are still burning calries.
④_______ As we knw, ne physilgical effect f insulin(胰岛素）is string fat. Fd being cnsumed late at night will mre likely be stred away due t the higher levels f insulin present in the bld system. Hwever, insulin levels at night are shwn t be n different than insulin levels during mid-day. If it is true that eating with high insulin levels causes yu t gain weight, anyne eating anytime after the mrning will becme fat.
S hw cme individuals have higher BMI s when they snack at night? It is simply a result f eating t many calries. Snacks that individuals tend t eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calries, such as ice cream, candy, ptat chips and sft drinks. Put simply, if yu eat mre calries than yu burn,regardless f the time f the day, yu will gain weight. ⑤_______
A. With a slw metablism, few calries are being burned.
B. While asleep, yur bdy still functins in many ways.
C. All living matter underges a prcess f metablism.
D. The time these snacks are cnsumed des nt matter.
E. Withut ever questining it, peple quickly assume this t be true.
F. Besides, insulin levels are dramatically lwer in the mrning than at night.
G. Anther thery is that late-night snacking leads t rising insulin levels.

Girls are better at reading and writing than bys as early as furth grade, accrding t a study, and the gap cntinues t widen until senir year.
Scientists generally agree that bys and girls are psychlgically mre alike than they are different. But reading seems t be a(n) 1 , with grwing evidence suggesting a similar 2 in writing. The study, published in the jurnal American Psychlgist, prvided further 3 t supprt this view.
David Reilly, lead authr f the study, said the study 4 the cmmnly held view that bys and girls start grade schl with the same cgnitive abilities. “It appears that the gender gap fr writing tasks has been greatly 5 , and despite ur best effrts with changes in teaching methds, that des nt appear t be 6 ver time,” he said.
Factrs explaining the results culd include learning 7 being mre prevalent amng bys; the pressure t cnfrm t masculine (男子汉的) ideals and the idea f reading and language being feminine (女性的); and slight 8 in hw bys and girls use their brain hemispheres (半球), the authrs believe.
T investigate hw 9 levels differed between bys and girls in the U.S., the team studied data cllected ver three decades in the Natinal Assessment f Educatinal Prgress. This database f test scres n ver 3 millin students in the furth, eighth, and twelfth grades 10 natinal and state perfrmances in a range f subjects, and cnsidered such variables such as disabilities r whether children were English learners. Reading and writing was 11 accrding t children’s understanding f a range f different passages and genres.
12 , girls were fund t perfrm significantly better in reading and writing tests by furth grade when cmpared with bys f the same age. As children prgressed t eighth and twelfth grades, girls cntinued t 13 bys, but the difference was mre nticeable in writing than reading. But what caused this difference in abilities? Evidence suggests 14 prblems, such as being disruptive（扰乱性的） in class r being aggressive culd be linked t neurlgical cnditins. What is knwn as lateralizatin (偏侧化) culd als play a rle. Bys are believed t use ne hemisphere when reading r writing, while girls appear t use bth. The data did nt, hwever, prvide evidence t argue 15 the tw genders having different learning styles.

52、Beauty bias: We tend t think pretty peple are mrally superir
Humans have always assciated beauty with gdness. The prevalence (流行，普遍) f the assumptin that beautiful peple are gd ①_______(study) fr the past few decades, with extensive research n the subject ging back t the 1970s. ②_______ yu start thinking that yu’d never judge smebdy by hw they lk, the studies suggest that yu likely d it all the time — very quickly and nt fully aware f it.
This bias has real-wrld impacts. The attractive are ③_______ (likely) t be fund guilty by simulated juries (陪审团) and mre likely t get reduced punishments when they are. Peple tend t vte fr mre attractive pliticians, prmte better-lking underlings, and even give mre attentin t better-lking children than thse with —④_______ Gerge Carlin put it — “severe appearance deficits”.
A study recently published in the Jurnal f Nnverbal Behavir shed new light n the bias. Different frm previus studies, ⑤_______ nt nly lked t see whether peple assciate psitive traits with gd-lking peple (we knw they d), but als tk a clser lk at which traits are assciated with appearance, with tw tests respectively fcused n purely mral traits, such as being fair, trustwrthy, r hnest, and psitive but nn-mral traits, such as being funny, ⑥_______ (rganize), r calm.
Lining up with previus studies ⑦_______ (shw) that peple assciate beauty with all manner f psitive traits, the results f bth tests als gave new insight int ⑧_______ traits are mst affected by the “hal effects” (光环效应) that gd lks prvide. In bth studies, mral traits were mre likely t be assciated with beauty than nn-mral traits. The effect was particularly bvius in the secnd study, in which beautiful peple were 20% mre likely t be cnsidered ⑨_______ (have) these traits than the average persn, cmpared t nly a 10% increase in the perceived likelihd they wuld have the nn-mral traits.
The authrs f the study nted that they expect their findings t have real-wrld implicatins. Given hw many previus studies demnstrate that there are serius cnsequences frm this bias, their stance shuld nt surprise us. They pinted ut, hwever, that despite the lng histry f science knwing that this bias exists, “there is n interventin available that may reduce prejudice tward r discriminatin ⑩_______ unattractive individuals.”

When I left the ffice fr a news assignment that early summer evening, I had abslutely n idea what life held in stre fr me.
As a yung phtgrapher, I was n my way back frm a pht sht. I had sht rlls f films featuring beautiful scenery and scenes f daily life in the cuntryside. What a fulfilling day! Nw what 1 needed was a ht bath and a gd rest. I culdn’t wait t return hme. On the cuntry rad, with my camera bag cntaining my equipment and a phnebk n my back, I rde my mtrbike s merrily that all the tiredness disappeared instantly. Suddenly, a big rck hit me frm nwhere.

I was thrwn away frm my bike and hit the rad. Befre I lst cnsciusness, I saw all my things scattered(分散的), my helmet(头盔) lying at a distance. Hurs, maybe days later, I pened my eyes. I realized I was n a hspital bed and later learnt that I had been shifted t the ward after7 days in the ICU. The crash was s severe that my head had been injured seriusly, leading t ther terrible cnditins. Althugh I survived, there were a series f surgeries needed befre I culd fully recver—a recnstructin f the knees, my brken right wrist t be fixed and an peratin n my nse.
I had n relatives in Delhi as I lived alne. After my accident, sme warm-hearted strangers dnated bld and resurces t help me survive, which made me really tuched. But every time I tried t piece tgether that hrrible Tuesday, I felt like there remained sme missing puzzles. Wh discvered and saved me? Hw was I sent t the hspital? Where can I find my her? Such questins bthered me until ne day Amy, wh was the first t learn f my accident came t see me when visits were allwed.

(促进“长期主义”投资还有很多方法,比如修改税法和加快股票收购的披露。)可推断出第五、六段是以美法为例来说明促进“长期主义”投资的方法。故选C。
31、答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句和最后一句“Financial regulatins in Britain have impsed a rather unusual rule n the bsses f big banks. fficials als hpe fr a much larger benefit: mre lng-term decisin-making nt nly by banks but als by all crpratins, t build a strnger ecnmy fr future generatins. (英国的金融法规对大银行的老板实施了一项相当不寻常的规定。……然而，官员们也希望获得更大的好处：不仅是银行，而且所有企业都能做出更长期的决策，为子孙后代建设更强大的经济。)” 可知英国颁布的新规定是为了促进金融投资的“长期主义的规划”。文章尾段“Britain’s new rule is a reminder t bankers that sciety has an interest in their perfrmance, nt just fr the shrt term but fr the lng term. (英国的新规定提醒银行家们，社会对他们的表现感兴趣，不仅是短期的，而且是长期的。)”再次呼应首段：英国新政府提醒银行家们注重“长期主义”投资，长期的投资需要耐心（patience）。由此可知B选项“Patience as a Crprate Virtue(耐心是公司的美德)”可以概括全文，为最佳标题。故选B。
32、答案：D

33、答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Present systems fr getting frm Earth’s surface t lw-Earth rbit are s fantastically expensive that merely launching the 1,000 tns r s f spacecraft and equipment a Mars missin wuld require culd be accmplished nly by cutting health-care benefits, educatin spending, r ther imprtant prgrams—r by raising taxes.(目前从地球表面到近地轨道的系统是如此昂贵，以至于仅仅发射火星任务所需的1000吨左右的航天器和设备就只能通过削减医疗福利、教育支出或其他重要项目——或通过提高税收来实现。)”可知，对于布什总统的提议，如果实施，美国人民的福祉将受到很大损害。同时它也是费用高昂的，导致美国政府不得不提高税收来实现，仅靠政府是负担不起的。同时根据倒数第二段中“Bush’s prpsal, which calls fr reprgramming sme f NASA’s present budget int the Mars effrt, might actually lead t a reductin in such unmanned science—the ne aspect f space explratin that’s wrking really well.(布什的提案呼吁将NASA现有的预算重新规划到火星计划中，这实际上可能会导致这种无人驾驶科学的减少——这是太空探索中非常有效的一个方面。)”可知，布什的提案也变相的减少了无人驾驶科学的预算，因此B,C,D三个选项都可以作为反对布什的提案的理由。根据倒数第二段中“he listed these recent majr achievements f space explratin: pictures f evidence f water n Mars, discvery f mre than 100 planets utside ur slar system, and study f the sil f Mars. (他列举了最近太空探索的主要成就：火星上有水的证据的照片，太阳系外100多个行星的发现，以及对火星土壤的研究。)”可知，布什的提案是在美国在火星探测方面已经取得了巨大的成就的基础上提出来的，由此不会作为反对布什的提案的理由。故选A。
34、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“It is interesting t nte that when President Bush unveiled (公开) his prpsal, he listed these recent majr achievements f space explratin: pictures f evidence f water n Mars, discvery f mre than 100 planets utside ur slar system, and study f the sil f Mars. (有趣的是，当布什总统公布他的提议时，他列出了最近太空探索的主要成就：火星上有水的证据的照片，太阳系外100多个行星的发现，以及对火星土壤的研究。)”可知，布什的提议是基于最近太空探索的三项伟大成就而提出来的。故选C。
35、答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“If new launch systems culd put weight int rbit affrdably, and advanced prpulsin culd speed up that lng, slw transit (运输) t Mars, the dream f stepping nt the red planet might becme reality. Mars will still be there when the technlgy is ready.(如果新的发射系统能够以合理的价格将重量送入轨道，并且先进的推进系统能够加快去往火星的漫长而缓慢的旅程，那么踏上这颗红色星球的梦想可能会成为现实。当技术成熟时，火星仍然会在那里。)”以及通读全文，文章介绍了美国关于火星探索的进程，同时也指出在未来的某一天只有当技术有一定的发展，梦想才能成为现实即人类才能登上火星。故选C。
36、答案：①-⑤EABGD
解析：本文是说明文。文章通过常听到的一句话“睡前吃东西会胖！”这一观点引出两种理论：1.睡着时，代谢比较慢；2.睡着时，胰岛素分泌较多。最后得出晚上吃零食体重指数会更高是由于摄入太多卡路里，并且和吃零食的时间没有关系。
①上文“Have yu ever had smene tell yu "If yu eat befre bed, yu are mre likely t get fat"?（是否曾有人告诉你“如果你睡前吃东西，你更容易发胖”？）”及下文“This belief riginated when researchers fund the relatin between individuals snacking late at night and having a BMI that categrizes them as bese.（当研究人员发现人们在深夜吃零食和体重指数间的关系时,这一观点就产生了。）”可知，下文所说的“This belief ”指的就是前文提出问题之后，所给出的相关肯或否的回答。E项中的“Withut ever questining it”就是对上文问题的肯定回答，“peple quickly assume this t be true.”和下文用深夜零食和体重指数的关系来解释人们为什么认为这是真的一致。故选E项。
②上文“One thery is that yur metablism(新陈代谢） slws dwn when yu are asleep.（一种理论认为，当你睡着时，你的新陈代谢会减慢。）”以及下文“Thus the calries yu eat right befre bed wuld nt be burned ff as much as they wuld be while yu're awake.（因此，睡前摄入的卡路里不会像清醒时那样被消耗掉。）”可知，设空处用来说明新陈代谢减慢和卡路里之间的关系，起到承上启下的作用。A项前半句“With a slw metablism”承接上文所讲的新陈代谢减慢，后半句“few calries are being burned”引出下文所说的卡路里。故选A项。
③上文“metablism changes very little, if at all, while yu are asleep.（当你睡着的时候，如果有新陈代谢的话，变化也很小。）”以及下文“The heart is still beating, lungs are still wrking, and the brain is still very active.（心脏还在跳动，肺还在工作，大脑仍然非常活跃。）”可知，设空处为睡着时，新陈代谢和身体机能的关系。B项前半句“While asleep”承接上文睡着时这一前提，后半句“yur bdy still functins in many ways.”引出下文各项身体器官的机能。故选B项。
④根据文章行文逻辑及前文已经提及的“One thery is …（一个理论是……）”以及下文“As we knw, ne physilgical effect f insulin is string fat.（众所周知，胰岛素的一个生理作用是储存脂肪）”说明设空处为另一种和胰岛素相关的理论。G项中“Anther thery is…”和上文One thery is 相对应，“that late-night snacking leads t rising insulin levels”和下文所提胰岛素和脂肪关系一致。故选G项。
⑤上文“if yu eat mre calries than yu burn, regardless f the time f the day, yu will gain weight.（如果你摄入的卡路里比你燃烧的多，不管一天中的哪个时间，你的体重都会增加）”说明卡路里摄入多于燃烧时就会长胖，与摄入时间无关。D项“The time these snacks are cnsumed des nt matter.”与上文一致，说明吃这些零食的时间并不重要。故选D项。
37、答案：B
解析：考查名词词义辨析。句意：但阅读似乎是个例外，越来越多的证据表明，写作也有类似的模式。A. distinctin 差别；区别；B. exceptin 例外；C. bjectin 发对；D. limitatin 限制。上文“Scientists generally agree that bys and girls are psychlgically mre alike than they are different.(科学家们普遍认为，男孩和女孩是很相似的)”此句与上句转折，说明此处要表达的是男孩与女孩不相似的方面——阅读，也就是说阅读是一个例外，故选B。
38、答案：A
解析：考查名词词义辨析。句意：参见上题。A. pattern 模式；B. standard 标准；C. circumstance 环境；D. feature 特色。根据上文“Scientists generally agree that bys and girls are psychlgically mre alike than they are different. But reading seems t be a(n) 1 , (科学家们普遍认为，男孩和女孩是很相似的，但阅读似乎是个例外)”可知，科学家认为男孩和女孩是很相似的，但是阅读是一个例外，所以此处表达的是写作也和阅读一样，有相似的模式，也是个例外，是男孩和女孩有差异的方面，故选A。
39、答案：D
解析：考查名词词义辨析。句意：这项发表在《美国心理学家》杂志上的研究为支持这一观点提供了进一步的证据。A. strategy 策略；B. signal 信号；C. sign 迹象；标志；D. evidence 证据。根据空后“t supprt this view(来支持这种观点)”可知，用来支持观点的，应该是证据，故选D。
40、答案：C
解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：这项研究的主要作者David Reilly说，这项研究质疑了人们普遍认为的男孩和女孩在上小学时认知能力相同的观点。A. cnfirmed 证实；B. represented 代表；C. questined 质疑；D. intrduced 介绍。根据第一段“Girls are better at reading and writing than bys as early as furth grade, accrding t a study, and the gap cntinues t widen until senir year.(一项研究表明早在四年级，女生的阅读和写作能力就比男生强。)”再根据空后宾语，人们认为男孩和女孩在上小学时认知能力相同，可知此处表达这项研究是质疑了这个观点，故选C。
41、答案：A
解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：他说：“看上去写作任务上的性别差异被极大的低估了，尽管我们在教学方法的改进方面做出了最大的努力，但随着时间的推移，该差异似乎并未渐渐减小。”A. underestimated 低估；B. veremphasized 过多强调；C. underrepresented 代表不足；D. justified 证明……正确。结合上题“David Reilly, lead authr f the study, said the study 4 the cmmnly held view that bys and girls start grade schl with the same cgnitive abilities. (这项研究的主要作者David Reilly说，这项研究质疑了人们普遍认为的男孩和女孩在上小学时认知能力相同的观点。)”可知，人们普遍认为男孩和女孩在上小学时认知能力相同，而研究却表明男孩和女孩在读写方面是有差异的，所以此处表达是这种差异是被低估的，故选A。
42、答案：D
解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：参见上题。A. increasing 增加；B. prmting 促进；提升；C. accepting 接受；D. reducing 减少。根据此句中的介词“despite(尽管)”以及句意，可知，此处要表达尽管在教学方法改进方面做了最大的努力，但是差异并没有减少，故选D。
43、答案：C
解析：考查名词词义辨析。句意：作者认为，解释这一结果的因素可能包括学习困难在男孩中更为普遍；男孩面临遵循男性化标准的压力，认为阅读是女性的技能；男孩和女孩使用大脑半球的方式也略有不同。A. bjectives 目标；B. drills 培训；C. difficulties 困难；D. advantages 优势。结合上面小题“It appears that the gender gap fr writing tasks has been greatly 5 (看上去写作任务上的性别差异被极大的低估了)”分析可知，女孩在读写方面能力比男孩强，此段分析了这种情况的原因，既然男孩读写方面能力相对来说弱，那么可能他们学习的困难更普遍，故选C。
44、答案：B
解析：考查名词词义辨析。句意：参见上题。A. cntributins贡献；B. differences不同；C. cmmunicatins交流；D. similarities相似之处。根据本句“in hw bys and girls use their brain hemispheres (半球)(男孩和女孩使用大脑半球的方式)”可知，男孩和女孩使用大脑半球的方式是不同的。故选B。
45、答案：A
解析：考查名词/形容词词义辨析。句意：为了调查美国男孩和女孩的读写水平的差异，研究小组研究了30多年来在国家教育进展评估中收集的数据。A. literacy读写能力；B. literary 文学的；C. academic 学术的；D. cgnitive 认知的。根据第一段“Girls are better at reading and writing than bys as early as furth grade, accrding t a study, and the gap cntinues t widen until senir year.(一项研究显示，女孩早在四年级时就比男孩更擅长阅读和写作，而且这种差距一直持续到高三。)”可知，早在四年级，女生的阅读和写作能力就比男生强，所以此处表达的是为了调查男孩和女孩的读写水平的差异，此空是名词作定语，故选A。
46、答案：D
解析：考查动词短语辨析。句意：这一数据库收集了超过300万名四、八、十二年级学生的考试成绩，将他们在国家和州的一系列科目上的表现进行了细分，并考虑了诸如残疾或儿童是否是英语学习者等变量。A. pulled dwn 拆毁；降低；B. settled dwn 安定下来；C. turned dwn 调小；拒绝；D. brke dwn 将……分成若干部分；分解。根据本句“in a range f subjects, and cnsidered such variables such as disabilities r whether children were English learners. (一系列科目上的表现进行了细分，并考虑了诸如残疾或儿童是否是英语学习者等变量)”可知，为了调查美国男孩和女孩的读写能力的差异，研究小组研究了一些数据，这些数据详细划分了学生在国家和州的科目上的具体表现，还考虑到一些变量，就是为了让调查结果更准确，故选D。
47、答案：B

52、答案：①has been studied②Befre③less likely④as⑤it⑥rganized⑦shwing⑧which⑨t have⑩against
解析：这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人们拥有美貌偏见：我们倾向于认为漂亮的人在道德上更高尚。
①考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的几十年里，人们一直在研究“漂亮的人就是好人”这一假设的普遍性，关于这个问题的广泛研究可以追溯到20世纪70年代。此处缺乏谓语，由时间状语fr the past few decades，且主语The prevalence f the assumptin…和谓语动词study是被动关系，用现在完成时的被动语态，主语不可数，谓语单数形式。故填has been studied。
②考查时间状语从句。句意：在你开始认为你永远不会根据一个人的长相来判断他之前，研究表明你可能一直都在这么做——非常快，而且没有完全意识到这一点。两句间缺乏连词，结合句意可知，用befre (在……之前)引导时间状语从句，首字母大写。故填Befre。
③考查比较级。句意：有吸引力的人不太可能被模拟陪审团判有罪，而且在他们被判有罪时，更有可能得到减轻的惩罚。结合句意和后面的mre likely可知，用比较级less likely (不太可能的)。故填less likely。
④考查固定句型。句意：人们倾向于投票给更有魅力的政客，提拔长相更好的下属，正如Gerge Carlin所说，人们更关注长相更好的孩子，而不是那些“严重的外貌缺陷”的孩子。固定句型as sb. put it (正如某人所说)。故填as。
⑤考查代词。句意：与之前的研究不同，这项研究不仅考察了人们是否将积极特质与长相英俊的人联系在一起（我们知道他们会这样做），还更仔细地研究了哪些特质与长相有关，两项测试分别侧重于纯粹的道德特质，如公平、可信或诚实，以及积极但非道德的特质，如风趣、有条理，或者冷静。用代词it指代上文的A study recently published in the Jurnal f Nnverbal Behavir。故填it。
⑥考查形容词。句意：与之前的研究不同，这项研究不仅考察了人们是否将积极特质与长相英俊的人联系在一起（我们知道他们会这样做），还更仔细地研究了哪些特质与长相有关，两项测试分别侧重于纯粹的道德特质，如公平、可信或诚实，以及积极但非道德的特质，如风趣、有条理，或者冷静。结合形容词funny和calm，用形容词rganized (有条理的)作表语。故填rganized。
⑦考查现在分词。句意：与之前表明人们把美丽与各种积极的品质联系在一起的研究结果一致，这两项测试的结果也让人们对哪些品质最容易受到美貌所带来的“光环效应”的影响有了新的认识。主句已有谓语gave且无连词，动词shw用非谓语形式，逻辑主语previus studies与动词shw是主谓关系，用现在分词（ding）表主动，做名词短语previus studies的后置定语。故填shwing。
⑧考查宾语从句连接词。句意：与之前的研究结果一致，这两项测试的结果表明，人们把美丽与各种积极的品质联系在一起，这两项测试的结果也让人们对哪些品质最容易受到美貌所带来的“光环效应”的影响有了新的认识。介词int后接宾语从句，意为“哪些品质”，该空做名词traits的定语，用连接代词which。故填which。
⑨考查动词不定式。句意：在第二项研究中，这种影响尤其显著，在第二项研究中，漂亮的人被认为具有这些特征的可能性比普通人高20%，相比之下，他们被认为具有非道德特征的可能性只增加了10%。固定搭配be cnsidered t d sth. (被认为做某事)，have用动词不定式形式。故填t have。
⑩考查介词。句意：没有有效的干预措施可以减少人们对相貌不佳的人的偏见或歧视。设空处后为名词作宾语，设空处应用介词的形式，表示“反对；（行为）违背……”应用against，discriminatin against歧视。故填against。
