问题     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.
Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?
选项 A、Because they have no visual-spatial skills.
B、Because they are only good at language and verbal reasoning.
C、Because they are less likely to see their charming or interesting aspects.
D、Because they rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc.
答案C
解析 本题是一道具体细节题。问为什么女士似乎不大可能爱上客观实物本身。利用查阅式阅读法，我们可以在文章的最后一段的最后两句话中找到相关信息。这两句话指出，不过，妇女们确实不大可能爱上客观实物本身，而且我们都知道，对于男人来说，机器似乎是他们个人特点的扩展。对于妇女来说，她很可能把她的汽车、步枪或计算机视为有用的工具，而并不对这些工具本身着迷。因此，本题的正确答案应是C“因为她们不大可能看到这些实物令人着迷的或者有趣的方面”。
