参考答案：A

解析：[听力原文]26-30 Do you believe that men and women think differently Many people say no. They say men and women are born with exactly the same abilities to think and learn. They think social life affects their ways of thinking. In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women and they all got the same conclusion: men and women are different because their brains are different and this makes men and women see the world in different ways. Boys, for example, are generally better than girls at mathematical ideas involving objects and their relationships. Boys also are generally faster in response than girls of hand and eye movements in ball games. Girls, on the other hand, generally start speaking earlier and can see better in the dark and are better at learning foreign language than boys. What makes men and women better at one thing or another The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides. The nerves on the left side are for mathematics, speech, reading, etc. , while those on the right side are for artistic creation and other senses. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it is the area for mathematics; and in girls it is the area for language learning that develops better. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are interconnected by a smaller number of nerves than in the case of a woman, so the flow of information between them is more limited. Scientists think this affects some of our abilities.

[分析]： 推理判断题。 根据原文开篇可知人们通常认为男人和女人生来具有相同的能力去思考和学习。直到过去十年科学家们通过研究才发现men and women are different because their brains are different由此可判断人们长久以来认为男人女人的大脑是一样的。因此A项的说法“男人女人的大脑是一样的”与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。[解题关键] 根据上下文时间线索判断相关信息处。本题问人们长久以来的想法，原文并未明确提出。但根据开篇介绍的人们通常对男女的认识和后面In the past ten years科学家的发现可推断出题干要求的答案信息处。
