A scientific team is studying the thinking ability of eleven-and-a-half-month-old children. The test is a simple one. The baby watches a sort of show on a small stage.
In Act I of the show, a yellow cube is lifted from a blue box and moved across the stage. Then it is returned to the box. This is repeated six times. f261Act II is similar, except that the yellow cube is smaller. Baby boys do not react at all to the difference in the size of the cube, but girls immediately become excited.
The scientists interpret the girls’ excitement as meaning they are trying to understand what they have just seen. They are wondering why Act II is odd and how it differs from Act I. In other words, the little girls are reasoning.
This experiment certainly does not definitely prove that girls start to reason before boys. But it provides a clue that scientists would like to study more carefully. Already it is known that bones, muscles, and nerves develop faster in baby girls. Perhaps it is early nerve development that makes some infant girls show more intelligence than infant boys.
Scientists have also found that nature seems to give another boost to girls. Baby girls usually talk at an earlier age than boys do. Scientists think that there is a physical reason for this. They believe that the nerve endings in the left side of the brain develop faster in girls than in boys. And it is this side of the brain that strongly influences an individual’s ability to use language and remember things.
26. What is the difference between Act I and Act II in the test?
27. How do the scientists interpret their observation from the experiment?
28. What does the speaker say about the experiment?
29. According to scientists, what is another advantage given to girls by nature?
选项
A、Boys enjoy playing with cubes more than girls.
B、Girls tend to get excited more easily than boys.
C、Girls seem to start reasoning earlier than boys.
D、Boys pay more attention to moving objects than girls.
答案
C
解析
录音提到,男婴对立方体的大小不同没有做出反应,而女婴则立即兴奋起来,科学家们把女婴的兴奋情绪解释为她们试图弄明白所看到的东西,换句话说,女婴们在思考,故C“女婴开始思考的时间似乎早于男婴”正确。
