People with bigger brains tend to score higher on standard tests of intelligence, according to new study findings. However, study author Dr. Michael A. McDaniel emphasized that these findings represent a general trend, and people with small heads should not automatically believe they are less intelligent. For instance, Albert Einsteins’s brain was "not particularly large", McDaniel noted. "There’s some relationship between brain size and intelligence on average, but there’s plenty of room for exceptions," he said.[20]Inter-est in the relationship between brain size and intelligence grew in the 1830s, when German scientist Frederick Tiedmann wrote that he believed "there was a connection between the size of the brain and the mental energy displayed by the individual man". Since that statement, scientists have conducted numerous studies to determine if Tiedmann’s argument was, in fact, correct. More recently, researchers have published additional studies on intelligence and brain size. For his study, McDaniel analyzed more than 20 studies that investigated the relationship between brain size and intelligence in a total of 1,530 people. The studies showed that on average, people with bigger brains tended to be more intelligent. The relationship between brain size and intelligence was stronger in women than men, and in adults than children, McDaniel noted. In an interview, McDaniel noted that he’s not sure why the relationship was stronger for adults and women.[21]Previous research has shown that women, on average, tend to have smaller brains than men, but score just as well—if not higher—in tests of intelligence, he said.
19. What does Dr. McDaniel believe?
20. When did the study on the relationship between brain size and intelligence become popular?
21. What can we infer from the previous research mentioned in the passage?
选项
A、Adults and women tend to be more intelligent.
B、Women on average have the same mental level with men.
C、Women tend to score lower than men in intelligence tests.
D、Women are generally more intelligent than men.
答案
B
解析
短文末句提到了之前的一些研究结果,这些研究发现“平均来说,女性的脑子比男性小,但在智力测试中的得分却和男性一样”。故B“平均来说,女性智力水平与男性相当”正确,同时可排除C“女性得分比男性低”和D“女性比男性更聪明”。
