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.
【C5】

答案
O
解析
空格填入形容词修饰sex differences“性别差异”。由下文的at the 700 level,the ratio—was 14 to 1(而在高于700分的人群中,男女生比例拉大到了14:1),可看出男女生的数学能力有着明显差别。备选形容词中的distinct“明显的”符合要求。instinct“直觉”为形近干扰,将之代入空格,句意不通,可排除。
