23、echnology (ICT), the gender divide between boys and girls, shows no sign of closing.This is bad news for the ICT industry where men outnumber women by over five to one. The industry needs at least an extra million recruits(新成員) over the next five years. Obviously, women as well as men are going to h

24、ave to fill these recruitment gaps. The ICT companies are worried about the shortage of men and women to fill their vacancies(空缺) in the future.It is believed that women are very well suited to working in ICT.

25、 kind of personal skills which are considered essential in developing “new technology”.

26、e a difference to modern life, you have to understand how people live and work.In spite of the fact that ICT jobs are well paid and women tend to do well in them, research shows that girls opinions of the industry are uniformly negative.

27、4% for law and 26% for medicine. Up to the age of 11 girls see ICT as entertaining and interesting but after that age negativity sets in. By the age of 13 this negative view of ICT is confirmed.After school activities encourage some girls to use Information Technology, and getting ICT staff and othe

28、r teachers together helps to develop imaginative use of ICT. Imaginative use of ICT especially in music, art, drama, geography and media studies, all helps to open girls eyes to the fact that careers in computing can cut across so many different areas.There is a significant difference in the learnin

They enjoy working in teams and like looking for creative connections.（人們相信，女性非常適合在信息通信技術(shù)領(lǐng)域工作。她們喜歡團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，喜歡尋找有創(chuàng)造性的聯(lián)系。）”可知，女性適合信息通信技術(shù)領(lǐng)域工作的理由是他們喜歡

35、團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，喜歡尋找有創(chuàng)造性的聯(lián)系。故選C項(xiàng)。9. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段“By the age of 13 this negative view of ICT is confirmed.（到13歲時(shí)，這種對(duì)信息和通信技術(shù)的負(fù)面看法得到了證實(shí)。）”可推斷，當(dāng)女孩們成為青少年時(shí)，她們對(duì)信息通信技術(shù)是不感興趣的（uninterested）。故選B項(xiàng)。10. 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“This is known to inspire girls to develop their ICT skills and to show them that ICT can be both creative

36、 and interesting.（眾所周知，這可以激勵(lì)女孩發(fā)展她們的信息和通信技術(shù)，并向她們展示信息和通信技術(shù)既具有創(chuàng)造性又有趣。）”可猜測(cè)，“Another initiative”意為“另一項(xiàng)舉措”，是激勵(lì)8到14歲的年輕女孩發(fā)展的措施。故選A項(xiàng)。11. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“This is known to inspire girls to develop their ICT skills and to show them that ICT can be both creative and interesting.（眾所周知，這可以激勵(lì)女孩發(fā)展她們的信息和通信技術(shù)，并向她們展示

37、信息和通信技術(shù)既具有創(chuàng)造性又有趣。）”及文章最后一段“We cant afford to have girls missing out.（我們不能讓女孩們錯(cuò)過(guò)。）”可推斷，現(xiàn)在是我們采取措施讓更多的女孩進(jìn)入信息和通信技術(shù)領(lǐng)域的時(shí)候了。故選D項(xiàng)。Even if we used to know the truth, our brains can start repeating false information that is against the facts.Our brains are wired to believe information automatically even if it

38、s false because it helps us learn efficiently. “In many instances its a useful skill for us to accept what people tell us, because often what people tell us is true,” says David Rapp, PhD, a psychology and education professor at Northwestern University in Illinois, US.When we hear new information, t

39、hose fresh facts dont override what we already knew before. Instead, both the new and old information live together in our minds. A few factors determine which one well draw on when the situation comes up.Oftentimes, well quote (引用) the information we heard most recently even if its wrong. Because t

40、heyre fresher in our minds, short-term memories are easier for our brains to access than facts we heard longer ago. Wed have to think back further to remember previous knowledge, so people will often ignore those facts in favour of new inaccurate information, says Dr Rapp, who recently published an

41、article on recalling inaccurate information in the journal Current Directions in Popular Science. “Previous knowledge isnt difficult to recall, but it isnt as readily available,” he says.We are also used to buying into the facts that seem more believable. Often, this means they fit better with what

42、we want to believe, which could explain why people quote such different facts in political debates. “Both candidates said something that was objectively true or not, but people would ignore that information and go with their hopes, wishes, or preferences because it goes along with what they hope to

43、be true,” says Dr Rapp.Youre especially unlikely to bother thinking critically about information when youre reading for pleasure, like with a novel or a We-Chat status, because your brain is in the mindset of relaxing, not keeping an eye out for falsehood, says Dr Rapp.With all that potentially fals

44、e information overload, its worth putting in the extra effort to double-check information that strikes you as doubtful. Seek out reliable sources that back up what they say with data, quotes and other evidence, says Dr Rapp. “With the ease that we can look things up on the internet, theres no reason

45、 not to,” he says.12.

46、racy when they read for pleasure.B. We vote for a candidate because what he says is true.C. Our short-term memory is more reliable when we quote.D. Believing what people tell us often improves learning efficiency.14. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A. The methods of deal

47、ing with doubtful information.B. The results of believing in false information.C. The effect of overloaded information.D. The source of right information.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Where do we find reliable information?B. How do we choose proper information?C. Wh

48、y do we remember false information?D. Whether should we believe fresh information?【答案】12C13D14A15C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。即便我們知道真相，但我們的大腦還是會(huì)選擇與事實(shí)相反的錯(cuò)誤信息，文章分析了其的原因并提供了應(yīng)對(duì)辦法。12. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“When we hear new information, those fresh facts dont override what we already knew before. Instead, both the new and old

49、 information live together in our minds. (當(dāng)我們聽(tīng)到新信息時(shí)，這些新事實(shí)并不會(huì)推翻我們之前已經(jīng)知道的信息。相反，新的和舊的信息一起生活在我們的頭腦中)”可知，新舊信息會(huì)共存。故選C項(xiàng)。13. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Our brains are wired to believe information automatically even if its false because it helps us learn efficiently. (即使信息是錯(cuò)誤的，我們的大腦會(huì)也自動(dòng)地相信，因?yàn)檫@有助于我們高效地學(xué)習(xí))”可知，相信別人告訴我們的信息可以提高

50、學(xué)習(xí)效率。故選D項(xiàng)。14. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“its worth putting in the extra effort to double-check information that strikes you as doubtful. (值得付出額外的努力來(lái)檢查那些讓你感到懷疑的信息)”和“With the ease that we can look things up on the internet, theres no reason not to, (由于我們可以很容易地在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上查找信息，沒(méi)有理由不去做)”可推知，作者在最后一段想告訴我們處理可疑的信息的方法：在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上查找。故

51、選A項(xiàng)。15. 主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文章第一段“Even if we used to know the truth, our brains can start repeating false information that is against the facts.(即使我們?cè)?jīng)知道真相，我們的大腦也會(huì)開(kāi)始重復(fù)與事實(shí)相反的錯(cuò)誤信息)”講生活中存在一種現(xiàn)象：即便我們知道真相，但我們的大腦還是會(huì)重復(fù)與事實(shí)相反的錯(cuò)誤信息，第三段“A few factors determine which one well draw on when the situation comes up. (當(dāng)情況出現(xiàn)

52、時(shí)，有幾個(gè)因素決定了我們大腦將選擇哪一個(gè)信息)”講信息的選擇是由幾個(gè)因素決定的，第四、五和六段分別列舉了3個(gè)影響我們大腦作出選擇的因素，即我們選擇與事實(shí)相反的錯(cuò)誤信息的原因，所以本文主要說(shuō)明了，為什么我們會(huì)選擇記住錯(cuò)誤的信息。故選C項(xiàng)。二、七選五Most students hate tests.
