(2020·浙江六校協(xié)作體聯(lián)考)Who’re happier, men or women? Research shows it’s a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isn’t really that helpful, because basically, happiness is different for women and men.
Women’s happiness has been declining for the past 30 years, according to recent statistics. And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men. Gender(性別) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological, psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.
Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings. Women are more likely to express happiness, warmth and fear, which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver, while men display more anger, pride and disrespect, which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.
Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially, but also genetically related. Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons(鏡像神經(jīng)元) than males when they process feelings. Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other people’s view, to understand their actions and intentions. This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness. Women tend to experience more negative feelings, such as more guilt, shame and to a lesser degree, embarrassment.
Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings. With the exception of anger, women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others. Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness. This supports the theory that women’s happiness is more dependent on relationships than men’s.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文從社會、生理和心理三個方面介紹了男性和女性在幸福感上的差異。
1.Which feeling are men more likely to show compared with women?

C.a(chǎn) nursery guide D.a(chǎn) health magazine
D 解析:文章出處題。根據(jù)本文內(nèi)容可知,本文主要從社會、生理和心理三個方面分析了男性和女性在幸福感上的差異。由此可推知,本文有可能摘自一本健康雜志,故選D項。

B
You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink of an eye. But in fact, humans blink about 15 times per minute on average. Have you ever missed anything because you blinked? Probably not. Why is that?
According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink. It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.
In order to understand how this works, a group of scientists at the German Primate Center and the University Medical Center Go·· ttingen in Germany conducted an experiment. In the study, the participants were asked to look at patterns on a screen whose direction could be interpreted in different ways, such as horizontally(水平地) or vertically(垂直地). When one pattern was about to disappear and the next one was about to come, the participants had to indicate the direction that the next pattern would appear.
The researchers found that when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction.
“The medial prefrontal cortex(額葉皮層) adjusts current visual information with previously obtained information, and thus enables us to perceive the world with more stability, even when we briefly close our eyes to blink,” Caspar Schwiedrzik explained in Science Daily. He is the first author of the study and also a scientist at the German Primate Center.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文是一篇說明文。研究發(fā)現(xiàn),眨眼并不會錯過細(xì)節(jié)并解釋了其原因。
4.We don’t miss anything when blinking because our brain can ________.
A.deal with the missing image
B.remember all that we see
C.imagine what our eyes miss
D.put our pieces of memory together
A 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink.”可知,根據(jù)九月份發(fā)表在《當(dāng)代生物學(xué)》雜志上的一項新研究,我們的大腦有能力跳過我們眨眼時形成的暫時黑暗。據(jù)此可推知,由于我們的大腦能處理丟失的圖像,所以眨眼不會讓我們錯過任何東西,故A項正確。
5.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Our brain.
B.Visual information.
C.Current Biology.
D.The temporary darkness.
B 解析:代詞指代題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.”可知,大腦可以在短時間內(nèi)保存視覺信息,然后將其組合在一起形成不中斷的圖像,故可推知,it指代上文中的“visual information”,故B項正確。
6.What do we know about the experiment?
A.The two patterns appear at the same time.
B.Visual memory can be more activated by similarity.
C.Participants can interpret patterns differently.
D.The different directions activated visual memory.
D 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“...when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction.”可知,當(dāng)兩個模式的方向不一致時,掌握視覺記憶的大腦區(qū)域被激活;當(dāng)兩種模式在同一個方向時,這個區(qū)域顯示出較少的活動。據(jù)此可知,不同的方向能激活視覺記憶,故D項正確。
7.What would be the best title for this passage?
A.The Brain’s Structure
B.The Brain’s Activated Patterns
C.The Brain’s Special Skill
D.The Brain’s Orientation
C 解析:標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文可知,本文主要介紹了一個科學(xué)研究。研究表明,眨眼不會錯過細(xì)節(jié)并解釋了其原因,即大腦有能力在短時間內(nèi)保存視覺信息,然后將其組合在一起形成不中斷的圖像信息。故C項最適合作本文的標(biāo)題。
【難句分析】 You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink of an eye.
分析:該句為主從復(fù)合句,句中“while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show”為while引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句,其中省略了you are; “in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink of an eye”為in case引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句。
譯文:在觀看籃球比賽或精彩的煙花表演時,你努力睜大眼睛,以防轉(zhuǎn)眼之間錯過一些令人興奮的事情。
