39、 had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school
40、chose to study those subjects.Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “Its great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.A survey recently showed that three
41、 of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. Its a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days its as important as reading
42、 and writing. Ive realized that at university Id achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I dont want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to
43、know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could.

C【解析】这是一篇记叙文。作者以自己的经历告诉读者：女性也应该学习理科，不要拘泥于传统的性别观念。【24题详解】词义理解题。由第二段中的“In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and math
47、s and women do arts or languages”可知，作者是“a gender stereotype”的受害者，that从句解释了“a gender stereotype”。a gender stereotype指的是男性学习理科和数学，女性学习艺术和语言。结合选项，很明显，a gender stereotype指的是人们传统的性别观念。故C选项正确。【25题详解】细节理解题。由第三段中的“Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “Its gre
48、at that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.”可知，当作者参加工作面试的时候，面试官经常问她：“你会说外语这很棒，但是你还会做什么呢？”但是对于作者那些学理科的朋友，面试官从来没有问过他们这样的问题。很明显，学习艺术、语言影响了作者找工作。由此可以推知，学理科在找工作时比较有优势。故A选项正确。【26题详解】推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“Ive realize
49、d that at university Id achieved the wrong kind of literacy”可知，作者认识到自己在大学里选择语言学习是错误的，由此可以推知她很后悔自己的选择。故D选项正确。【27题详解】标题归纳题。作者在文中以自己的经历告诉读者：女性不应该只学习艺术或语言。女性也应该学习理科。最后一段作者以自己的女儿为例，进一步强调女性要学习理科，这样才会有更好的未来。故C选项是最佳标题。COne way to prevent anxiety from getting out of control is to recognize its benefits.

76、第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Music is an art form which deals with the representation of emotion through the medium of sound. It can have a physical effect on us because it is closely linked with emotion, perhaps even more than the abstract nature of words. The numbe
77、r one reason why people listen to music is to adjust their emotional state. _36_Numerous studies leave us in no doubt that music can affect our mood state and stress level. _37_ For example, they have found that background music shuts out distractions. It calms them before a large task and then they
78、 can stay focused for longer. Also it can help their creativity and make studying more enjoyable._38_ Firstly, it depends on what the task it. The more difficult the challenge is, the more likely background music will interrupt the learning process. For less challenging learning tasks, music can gre
79、atly assist in providing a positive learning state. Secondly, it depends on the characteristics of the music well come to in a moment. And thirdly, extroverts(性格外向者)enjoy and often require more external stimulation(刺激)and are likely to handle background noise better than those who are quiet and shy.
80、Actually, its not about the type of music, but the natural musical characteristics which aid or disrupt study. One of these characteristics is the tempo(拍子). The recommended tempo for background music is in the range 70-110 beats per minute, slightly faster than the heartbeat at rest. _39_ And very
81、slow music lowers the heartbeat, creating a state that might be too relaxed for study purposes.In addition, lyrics are the most distracting aspect of background musical listening._40_More particularly, studies have found that the most distracting background is fast and familiar vocal music, chosen a

Moreover, those who like studying with background music have found a lot of benefits.【答案】36. B 37. G 38. F 39. E 40. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐是一种通过声音来表现情感的艺术形式。文章说明了决定了音乐对学习的影响的几个因素。【3
84、6题详解】结合上文It can have a physical effect on us because it is closely linked with emotion, perhaps even more than the abstract nature of words. The number one reason why people listen to music is to adjust their emotional state.(音乐可以对我们产生生理上的影响，因为它与情感紧密相连，甚至可能比语言的抽象本质更紧密。人们听音乐的首要原因是为了调整他们的情绪状态)可知，音乐可以与
85、人的情感紧密相连，那么音乐也能将人与人的内心联系在一起。本句承接上文说明音乐将人们的内心联系在一起。故B选项“在一个非常真实的意义上，音乐把我们和我们的内心联系在一起”符合上下文语境，故选B。【37题详解】根据下文For example, they have found that background music shuts out distractions.(例如，他们发现背景音乐可以屏蔽干扰)可知，此处是在说明用背景音乐的好处。故G选项“此外，那些喜欢用背景音乐学习的人也发现了很多好处”符合上下文语境，故选G。【38题详解】根据后文Firstly, it depends on what t
86、he task it. The more difficult the challenge is, the more likely background music will interrupt the learning process. For less challenging learning tasks, music can greatly assist in providing a positive learning state.(首先，这取决于任务是什么。挑战越困难，背景音乐越有可能打断学习过程。对于不太具有挑战性的学习任务，音乐可以极大地帮助提供一个积极的学习状态)可知，此处是在说明
