Women are, on the whole, more verbal than men. They are good at language and verbal reasoning, while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial abilities. In fact, along with aggression, these are most commonly accepted differences between the sexes.
Words are tools for communicating with other people, especially information about people.They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology (神经生理学), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain, males are specialists while women are generalists.
But no one knows what, if anything, this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both visual and spatial, and it’s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car, tasks that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves , we all know men for whom machines seem to be extensions of their identity. A woman is most likely to see her car, rifle, or computer as a useful tool, but not in itself fascinating.
The word "accepted" in the last sentence of the first paragraph roughly means______.
选项
A、believed
B、assumed
C、received
D、reconciled
答案
A
解析
本题是一道词汇含义类问题。问第一段最后一句话中的accepted是什么意思。根据文章上下文和自己的词汇量,我们可以推断出此题的正确答案应是A“认为,以为”。
