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.
【C7】

答案
J
解析
空格应填入副词修饰形容词superior“出众的”。根据上文的born with等表述以及得出的实验数据并未涉及后天努力等因素,可推断Julian Stanley和Camilla Benbow得出的结论是男性天生更擅长数学,故选J项inherently“生来就有地”。
