If nn-musicians play arhythm-based (基于韵律的) game using musical instruments fr eight weeks, they can becme better at remembering recently seen faces; that is, their shrt-term memry fr nn-musical tasks imprves, a new research shwed.
Previus researches have shwn that musicians tend t have better shrt-term memry than nn-musicians abut music-related tasks. Hwever we dn’t knw whether the benefit still exist when it cmes t nn-musical tasks r t nn-musicians wh are learning t play an instrument. It is nt clear hw the change might actually be seen in the brain.
Thedre Zant at the University f Califrnia, San Francisc thinks the benefit will cntinue t exist. His research team perfrmed a research f 47 nn-musicians fr eight weeks, wh were divided int tw grups. Grup l was asked t play a musical rhythm training game and grup 2 was asked t play a wrd search game. At the start and end f the research, participants tk a shrt-term memry test t measure their ability t remember a face they saw secnds befre. Only grup 1 shwed an imprvement n their scres.
Brainwave data (数据) shwed an increase f activity in the right superir parietal lbe (上顶叶), a brain regin assciated with encding (编码) visual infrmatin and attentin. This suggests, says Zant, that the rhythm training is imprving the brain’s ability t fcus attentin n a task and change what yu are ding int memry.

A. Rhythm training can prevent memry lss.
B. Rhythm-based games influence memry greatly.
C. Playing instruments can imprve shrt-term memry.

A new study shws girls and bys as yung as seven have the chice f jbs with gender differences. Girls chse jbs based n care and lve, while bys chse jbs based n mney and pwer.
Prfessr Laura Schles and Dr Sarah McDnald surveyed 332 Year 3 students frm 14 Australian schls. They fund that the tp prfessins fr bys included sprts and STEM (science, technlgy, engineering and mathematics) related jbs, while girls, n the ther hand, wanted t be teachers r nurses.

In the girls’ sectin, yu’ll see tys related t cleaning, dlls, kitchens, makeup, jewellery and crafts.”
“This results in lwer numbers f girls taking STEM subjects at schl. In turn, this means fewer wmen are ging t wrk in the sciences.” Prfessr Schles’s cmments came as wmen make up nly 2 percent f the STEM wrkfrce, with the biggest gap in the highest-paid jbs f cmputer science and engineering.
In Australia, sme brands are n lnger targeting bys r girls with their tys.

B. Because f their desire t be teachers r nurses.
C. Because f their hbbies based n care and lve.
D. Because the jbs cncerned with sciences are lw-paid.
14．What did sme brands d in Australia?
A. Advertise their prducts fr bys.
B. Advertise their prducts fr bth genders.
C. Target bys r girls with their prducts.

(他们发现，最受男孩欢迎的职业包括体育和STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)相关的工作，而另一方面，女孩则想成为教师或护士。)”以及D项“化妆师”本身就是一个女性主导的职业，可知，男孩倾向于选择程序员的工作，故选A。
13．答案： A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“Prfessr Schles said the influence f gender steretypes (刻板印象) n such chices begins in early childhd. “Bright pink tys fr girls and blue tys fr bys are sld n stre shelves arund the wrld.” she said, “In the bys’ sectin, yu’ll find science, cnstructin and warfare tys—perhaps a rbt r a telescpe. In the girls’ sectin, yu’ll see tys related t cleaning, dlls, kitchens, makeup, jewellery and crafts.”(斯科尔斯教授表示，性别刻板印象对这些选择的影响始于童年早期。世界各地的商店货架上都有亮粉色的女孩玩具和蓝色的男孩玩具。她说，“在男孩区，你会发现科学、建筑和战争玩具——也许是机器人或望远镜。”在女孩区，你会看到与清洁、娃娃、厨房、化妆品、珠宝和工艺品相关的玩具。”)”和第四段““This results in lwer numbers f girls taking STEM subjects at schl. In turn, this means fewer wmen are ging t wrk in the sciences.” Prfessr Schles’s cmments came as wmen make up nly 2 percent f the STEM wrkfrce, with the biggest gap in the highest-paid jbs f cmputer science and engineering. (“这导致在学校学习STEM课程的女孩人数减少。反过来，这意味着更少的女性将从事科学工作。”斯科尔斯教授发表此番言论之际，女性仅占STEM劳动力的2%，在计算机科学和工程等收入最高的工作岗位上，女性与女性的差距最大。)”可知，根据斯科尔斯教授的说法，选择STEM科目的女孩越来越少是因为性别刻板印象的影响。故选A。
14．答案： B
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“In Australia, sme brands are n lnger targeting bys r girls with their tys. Danish ty giant Leg last week annunced that they wuld remve gender steretypes frm their tys, after a glbal study fund that 71 percent f bys feared being made fun f fr playing with tys marketed at girls. Leg said its prducts were mainly used by bys, but it prmised t wrk t remve gender preference frm its tys and instead market them fr bth genders. (在澳大利亚，一些品牌的玩具不再以男孩或女孩为目标。丹麦玩具巨头乐高上周宣布，他们将取消玩具中的性别刻板印象，此前一项全球研究发现，71%的男孩担心玩面向女孩的玩具会被取笑。乐高表示，其产品主要由男孩使用，但它承诺将努力消除玩具中的性别偏好，销售不再有性别差异。)”可知，在澳大利亚，一些品牌玩具消除具中的性别偏好，为他们的产品做男女通用的广告。故选B。
15．答案： D
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study shws girls and bys as yung as seven have the chice f jbs with gender differences.(一项新的研究表明，七岁的男孩和女孩在选择工作时存在性别差异。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍研究表明性别差异影响孩子的工作选择。所以“Gender differences affect jb chsing fr children(性别差异影响孩子的工作选择)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。
16．答案：
16.CADEF
解析：①根据前句“It smetimes feels difficult fr sme peple t find ut a prper way t express gratitude in daily life.

(心理学家克里斯蒂娜·科斯塔研究了感恩对大脑的积极影响，她提供了一些建议，告诉人们如何对最小的事情心存感激，以及如何更容易地表达感激之情。)”可知，这里为承上启下句，一些人认为在日常生活中如何表达感激是困难的，但专家认为不难。所以选择项C‘But experts say it desn’t have t be s hard.(但专家表示，这并没有那么难。)符合上下文语境。故选C。
②解析：这里为本段中心句。根据后文Make it a habit t put dwn the things that yu’re thank ful fr. “Set up a timer. I like writing in my jurnal in the mrning because that sets my day up best. Or d it n yur phne. Make it as easy as pssible,” says Csta. (养成习惯，把你感激的事情写下来。“设置一个计时器。我喜欢在早上写日记，因为这样可以让我的一天变得最好。或者在手机上做。让它尽可能简单，”科斯塔说。)可知，本段主要介绍通过写感恩日记来表达日常生活中的感激。所以选择项A Start a gratitude jurnal. (开始写感恩日记。)符合上下文语境。故选A。
