问题     It is well known that teenage boys tend to do better【C1】________math than girls, that male high school students are more likely than their female counterparts【C2】________advanced math courses like calculus, that virtually all the great mathematicians【C3】________men. Are women born with【C4】________mathematical ability? Or does society’s sexism slow their progress? In 1980, two Johns Hopkins University researchers tried【C5】________the eternal nature/nurture debate. Julian Stanley and Camilla Benbow【C6】________10,000 talented seventh- and eighth-graders between 1972 and 1979.Using the Scholastic Aptitude Test, in which math questions【C7】________to measure ability rather than knowledge, they discovered【C8】________sex differences.【C9】________the verbal abilities of the males and females【C10】________differed, 【C11】________girls scored over 500 (on a scale of 200 to 800)【C12】________mathematical ability; at the 700 level, the ratio was 14 to 1.The conclusion: males have【C13】________superior mathematical reasoning ability.
    Benbow and Stanley’s findings, 【C14】________were published in Science, disturbed some men and【C15】________women. Now there is【C16】________for those people in a new study from the University of Chicago that suggests math【C17】________not, after all, a natural male domain. Prof Zalman Usiskin studied 1, 366 tenth graders. They were selected from【C18】________classes and tested on their ability to solve geometry proofs, a subject requiring【C19】________abstract reasoning and spatial ability. The conclusion【C20】________by Usiskin: there are no sex differences in math ability.
【C11】

选项 A、many boys twice as
B、twice many boys as
C、twice as many boys as
D、boys twice as many as

答案D

解析 此处要表达的是“数学能力得分在500分以上的男生是女生的两倍”,可以用“A+倍数+as+形容词+as+B”结构表示倍数,故本题选D项。
