Apparently, when men listen to othe
2、r men about the things they care about, they use only the frontal area of their brains. However, when they listen to women its different story.

3、tually telling the truth, though not in a good way. Im sure a lot of women could recall times when they have wasted hours explaining why they are completely right about everything in the world, only to wake up the next day to discover that not one brilliant point got through. Those times when men ha
4、vent listened to me, I just thought I was being ignored. I didnt realize I just wasnt singing their favorite music. If Id realized I was being heard as music, I would have had a bit of fun with it.

6、r control next. Even if there is something in it, we have to take into account that most relationships are likely to become boring. Thats the truth of the matter.

7、es are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise. 1The author of this passage tries to _. A. throw doubts on a commonly accepted idea B. explain a commonly accepted idea as it is C. give some a
8、dvice on a common problem D. argue against a common belief 答案解析：答案为B。本题考查文章的写作目的。本文第二段就揭示了为什么男性听不进去女性的话的原因，文章后面的内容对此进行了阐述。故答案为B。2According to the new study, men dont listen to women because _ . A. what women say are usually boring B. they dont care about what women say C. they cant deal with female
9、voices D. they regard female voices as music 答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第三段的内容可知，男性在听同性的话语的时候只是用了大脑的前面区域；然而听女性的话语的时候，却更费力，因为要使用通常用来听音乐的那部分的大脑区域。故可推断，男性不听女性的话是因为他们大脑不能非常容易地处理女性的声音。故答案为C。干扰性最强的D选项 “他们把女性的声音当成音乐” 与文意不符。故错误。3The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph shows that the author is _. A. realistic
10、B. humorous C. serious D. funny 答案解析：答案为B。本题为句意推断题。结合第五段的内容，作者以女性的口吻谈到如果她早意识到她是因为 “音乐”而被男人倾听，她会为此而感到些许开怀。无论何时，如果她想要一场“讨论”，就会带上自己的乐队，弦号俱全。故可以推断，划线部分的语言显得幽默。4What does the author think of the finding of the new study? A. She thinks it doubtful. B. She thinks it interesting. C. She thinks it needs furt
11、her proof. D. She thinks it right. 答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推断题。由倒数第三段首句 “It is difficult not to be suspicious of ” 可知，本句话的同义词就是doubtful.故答案为A。5The author would most probably agree that _. A. men should accept what women say B. women should talk less and do more housework C. however beautiful voices may be, t
12、hey will finally become boring D. the relationship between men and women should always be improving 答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。从最后一段 “When your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noi
13、se.” 可知，当你美妙的旋律每天都出现在男人日常生活中的时候，最后也会变成背景噪音。故答案为C. A、B未提及；倒数第二段首句提到了 “ most relationships are likely to become boring.” D选项与此不符，故错误。阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(五)】 ABoys need friends，suffer when they dont believe they have any，and worry over the ups and
