大学英语四级改革适用（阅读）模拟试卷795
词汇理解
It\’s an age-old dispute: Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. Males and females show【C1】________behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to basic differences in brain【C2】________and activity. Studies show men are better at【C3】________targets and solving math problems while women are better at memorizing words and recognizing faces. Why the difference?
A test of the brain\’s electrical activity shows that women【C4】________use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions—one controlling the sense of space, for example, the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains【C5】________from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women cared for the children. Men had to have good【C6】________. Women had to talk to the kids.
Whatever the explanation, the battle of the sexes【C7】________. And although their brains are constructed slightly differently, men and women may be【C8】________capable. They may simply rely on different abilities. Take a couple【C9】________over the location of their car in a parking lot The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman 【C10】________on her recognition of landmarks. They both find the car. But chances are, they\’ll still argue about who\’s the better driver and who\’s better at finding the way home.
A) continues E) presumably I) commonly M) equally
B) arguing F) inferior J) hitting N) structure
C) aim G) relies K) ventured O) evolved
D) gradual H) mission L) different
1.【C1】
L
解析：此处应为形容词，修饰behaviors。根据上下文说到的内容，以及males，females，differences等关键词，可以推断男人和女人有不同的行为，即different，为本题答案。
2.【C2】
N
解析：此处应为名词。本句解释为什么男人和女人有不同的行为，空白处的名词应与activity并列，可与brain构成特定搭配，在词库中只有structure一词合适。brain structure意为“大脑结构”。
3.【C3】
J
解析：空白处前为短语be better at，后为名同targets，提示此处应填及物动词的动名词形式。如不确定be better at后应接动词的什么形式，后文的are better at memorizing…可用作参照。在词库中可与target搭配的动词只有hitting，表明男人较善于射中目标。
4.【C4】
I
解析：此处应为副词，作use的状语。本句要说明的是男人与女人在用脑方面的区别，而句子开头的A test of…shows…表明这是通过实验证明的，并不是推测的，因此commonly是最合适的单词，而presumably虽然语法上说得通，但语义不符合上下文的要求。
5.【C5】
O
解析：此处应为动词，且为过去式，作that引导的宾语从句的谓语。本句想要说明男女用脑方式的差异是从远古时发展而来的。因此空白处的动词应具有“发展”、“进化”之义，由此可推断evolved是最合适的词。
6.【C6】
C
解析：此处应为名词，作have的宾语。本句与上句提到的men hunted密切相关，因为男人负责狩猎，他们必须擅长瞄准目标，因此本题答案为aim。
7.【C7】
A
解析：此处应为不及物动词，且为第三人称单数，作句子的谓语。从本句的Whatever一词可以推断不论怎样，两性之间的战争仍然继续着。因此continues最合适。
8.【C8】
M
解析：此处应为副词，修饰capable。本句中的although表明主句的内容与从句相反，因此主句中的副词应与从句中的differently相反，再结合本句句意，equally是最合适的单词。
9.【C9】
B
解析：此处应为可与over搭配的不及物动词的现在分词，与后面的over the location of…一同作couple的后置定语。本句中的take…表明这是一个说明男女区别的例子，因此空白处的动词应表示“产生分歧”“有不同意见”等意思，对照词库，只有arguing最合适。
10.【C10】
G
解析：此处应为动词，且为第三人称单数形式，并可与on搭配。本句中的while一词表明前后两个分句意思相反但结构相似。前面的分句表明男人通常依靠空间感，而后面的分句应表明女人通常依靠辨认地标，在词库中表示“依靠”的单词只有relies。
