It is well known that teenage boys tend to do better at math than girls, that male high school students are more likely than their female【C1】______ to tackle advanced math courses like calculus, that virtually all the great mathematicians have been men.
Are women born with【C2】______ mathematical ability? Or does society’s sexism slow their progress? In 1980, two Johns Hopkins University researchers tried to【C3】______ the eternal nature/ nurture debate. Julian Stanley and Camilla Benbow had【C4】______ 10,000 talented seventh- and eighth-graders between 1972 and 1979. Using the Scholastic Aptitude Test, in which math questions are meant to measure ability rather than knowledge, they discovered【C5】______ sex differences.
While the verbal abilities of the males and females【C6】______ differed, boys twice as many as girls scored over 500(on a scale of 200 to 800)on mathematical ability; at the 700 level, the ratio was 14 to 1. The conclusion: males have【C7】______ superior mathematical reasoning ability.
Benbow and Stanley’s findings, which were published in "Science", disturbed some men and not a few women. Now there is【C8】______ for those people in a new study from the University of Chicago that suggests math is not, after all, a natural male domain. Prof. Zalman Usiskin studied 1,366 tenth graders. They were selected from【C9】______ classes and tested on their ability to solve geometry proofs, a subject requiring both abstract reasoning and spatial ability. The conclusion【C10】______ by Usiskin: there are no sex differences in math ability. [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
A
解析
空格应填入副词修饰differed。空格后提到男女生数学能力差异较大,根据本句While可知,男女生在语言能力的差异应是比较小的,因此应选表示“小”的副词,备选副词中的hardly“几乎不”符合上下文语境。virtually“事实上”具有肯定的意味,代入并不能表示“差异比较小”,故排除。
