问题     Men and women approach problems with similar goals but with different considerations. While men and women can solve problems equally well, their approach and their process are often quite different. For most women, sharing and discussing a problem presents an opportunity to explore, deepen or strengthen the relationship with the person they are talking with. Women are usually more concerned about how problems are solved than merely solving the problem itself. For women, solving a problem can profoundly impact whether they feel closer and less alone or whether they feel distant and less connected. The process of solving a problem can strengthen or weaken a relationship. Most men are less concerned and do not feel the same as women when solving a problem.
    Men approach problems in a very different manner than women. For most men, solving a problem presents an opportunity to demonstrate their competence, their strength of resolve, and their commitment to a relationship. How the problem is solved is not nearly as important as solving it effectively and in the best possible manner. Men have a tendency to dominate and to assume authority in a problem solving process. They set a-side their feelings provided the dominance hierarchy was agreed upon in advance and respected. They are often distracted and do not attend well to the quality of the relationship while solving problems.
    Some of the more important differences can be illustrated by observing groups of young teenage boys and groups of young teenage girls when they attempt to find their way out of a maze. A group of boys generally establish a hierarchy or chain of command with a leader who emerges on his own or through demonstrations of ability and power. Boys explore the maze using scouts while remaining in distant proximity to each other. Groups of girls tend to explore the maze together as a group without establishing a clear or dominant leader. Relationships tend to be co-equal. Girls tend to elicit discussion and employ "collective intelligence" to the task of discovering a way out. Girls tend to work their way through the maze as a group. Boys tend to search and explore using structured links and a chain of command.
"Scouts" can be best described as
选项 A、boys who are dispatched from the group to gather information.
B、boys who rank comparatively low in the hierarchy.
C、tools which can indicate directions precisely.
D、tools which are convenient for the group’s communication.
答案A
解析 根据最后一段第3句中的while可以推断using scouts应该是与remaining in distant proximity to eachother意思相对。remaining in distant proximity to each other的中心词是proximity，表示男孩子们虽然保持相互之间的距离，但他们仍然保持联系，不会走远，由此可推断using scouts是一种让男孩子独立行动保持距离的方式，这样整句的意思就完整了。整句表示男孩子既能独立行动保持相互距离但同时又能保持亲近，四个选项中只有A的内容与“独立行动”有关，因此A为本题答案。
