Two People，Two Paths
You must be familiar with the situation：Dad is driving. Mum is telling him where to go. He is ___31___ that they need to turn left. But she says it is not for another two blocks.
___32___ has the better sense of direction？Men or women？They both do，a new study says，but in different ways. Canadian researchers have found men and women have ___33___ methods of finding their way. Men look quickly at landmarks and head off in what they think is the right direction. Women，however，try to picture the whole route in ___34___ and then follow the path in their head. “Women tend to be more detailed，while men ___35___ to be a little bit faster and a little bit more intuitive（直觉感知的）”，said Edward Cornell.
In fact，said Cornell，"sense of ___36___” is not one skill but two. The first is the "survey method". This is when you see all area from above，such as a printed map. You can see，for example，where the hospital is，___37___ the church is and that the supermarket is on its right. The second skill is the “route method"，this is when you use a series of directions. You ___38___ from the hospital，then turn left，turn right，go uphill-and then you see the supermarket. Men are more ___39___ to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions. Both methods work, and ___40___ is better.
【第35题】根据文章，选择对应的句子。A. direction;B. who;C. sure;D. start;E. likely;F. what;G. where;H. neither;I. different;J. both;K. tend;L. detail
【正确答案】：K
【题目解析】：此题需要填一个动词作谓语。备选单词有两个动词：start和tend，根据上下文意思判断tend为正确答案，因为此处前面提到了”women tend to be more detailed"，那么此处则是”men tend to be a little bit faster...”。此外tend to是固定用法，意思是“趋向，偏重”，因此无论是根据语境还是固定搭配，此题都应选K。
