A finding in recent years shows that men cannot manufacture blood as efficiently as women
can. This makes surgery riskier for men. Because they do not breathe as often as women, men also need more oxygen. But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk. They draw more of the air when it is polluted.
Men's bones are larger than women's and they are arranged somewhat differently. The feminine walk that evokes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure. A man has broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis, which makes him stride out with no waste motion. A woman's wider pelvis, designed for childbearing, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of jiggle and sway as she walks.
If you think a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean out the roof gutters, don't forget it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a woman's thigh is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her, no matter whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is tackling.
A man's skin is thicker than a woman's and not nearly as soft. This prevents the sun's radiation from getting through, which is why men wrinkle less than women do. Women have a thin by- er of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve. It acts as an invisible ful coat to keep a woman wanner in the winter. Women also stay cooler in summer. Because the far layer helps insulate them against heat. Men's fat is distributed differently. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more lean mass. 41 percent of a man's body is muscle compared to thirty-five percent for women, which means that men have more muscle power. When we mention strength, almost 90 percent of a man's weight is strength compared to about 50 percent of a woman's weight.
The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five more calories a pound than fat does just to maintain itself. So when a man wants to lose
weight, the pounds roll off much faster. For all men's muscularity they do not have the energy reserves women do. They have more start-up energy, but the fat tucked away in women's nooks and crannies provides a rich energy reserve that men lack.
Cardiologists at the University of Alabama who tested healthy women on treadmills discovered that over the years the female capacity for exercise far exceeds the male capacity. A woman of sixty who is in good health can exercise up to 90 percefit of what she could do when she was twenty.
A man of sixty has only 60 percent left of his capacity as a twenty-year-old.

參考譯文
近年來的一項發(fā)現表明男人造血的能力不如女人強。這使得外科手術對男人來說風險更大。另外由于他們呼吸的頻率沒有女性高,男人需要更多氧氣。但男人的呼吸更深,這樣他們又多了一樣危險?諝獗晃廴緯r他們會吸入更多的空氣。
男人的骨骼比女人的大而且構造也不同。女人走路會招來很多口哨聲是由于骨骼結構的原因。男人肩膀寬髖骨窄,這使他可以大步前進而沒有多余的動作。女人的骨盆更寬是為了孕育后代,這迫使她每走一步都得做更大的動作,結果走路時就顯得有點搖搖擺擺。
如果你覺得男人勇敢,因為他能爬上梯子清潔排水檐溝,那么不要忘了這活對男人來說比對女人要容易些。女人的大腿和膝蓋相接的角度使得攀登對她來說很困難,不論是爬梯子,爬樓梯還是爬山。
男人的皮膚比女人的厚而且不如女人的皮膚柔軟,這有效地阻止了陽光輻射穿過,這就是男人不像女人那樣容易起皺紋的原因。女人有一層薄薄的皮下脂肪,比男人多的這一點脂肪貯存有它的用處。它無形中起著毛皮大衣的作用,使女人在冬天里感覺更加溫暖。女人在夏天里也更涼爽。因為這層脂肪有助于隔絕熱量。男人的脂肪分布不均勻。而且他們沒有那層皮下脂肪。事實上,他們的脂肪比女人少得多,但肌肉比女人多。男人身體的41%是肌肉,相比之下女人只有35%的肌肉,這意味著男人有更大的力量。說到力量,幾乎男人的體重的90%都有力量,而女人相應的比例是大約50%。
肌肉比脂肪的比例大使男人更容易減肥。為了維持自身能量,一磅肌肉比一磅脂肪多燃燒5個卡路里。所以當男人想要減肥時,他的體重下降得更快。盡管男人肌肉發(fā)達,他們缺少女人擁有的能量儲備。他們的爆發(fā)力強,但是女人身體各處貯藏的脂肪可以提供豐富的能量儲備,這是男人所不具備的。
阿拉巴馬大學的心臟病學家對從事繁重工作的健康婦女做了測試后發(fā)現隨著時間流逝女性身體運動的能力遠遠優(yōu)于男性。一個健康的60歲的婦女可以做的身體運動能達到她20歲時的90%,而一個60歲的男人的運動能力只是他20歲時的60%。.
答案及解析
36.C【解析】從文章第一段最后兩句But men breathe more deeply andthis exposes them to another risk.They draw more of the air when it is polluted。
37.A【解析】文章第二段開頭:Men’s bones are larger than women,s andthey are arranged somewhat differently.然后下面列舉了男人和女人各自移動身體的不同,歸根到底是因為他們骨骼構造的不同。
38. B【解析】從文章可得出結論:選項A:男人受陽光輻射的損害比女人更多。這顯然是錯的,恰恰相反。選項8:長途旅行后男人比女人更容易疲勞,因為男人的肌肉占的比例大。選項C:女人身體里的脂肪比例高,所以女人減肥更容易,這顯然是錯的。選項D:男人老了以后還可以像年輕時一樣運動,這顯然不正確,最后一段說男人只能做年輕時運動量的60%,而女人能做90%。
39. D【解析】由文章的內容來看,答案只能在選項C和選項D中選,選項C是對男人和女人的相同和不同的研究。文章只說了不同.沒提相同,所以D項是最合適。
40. B【解析】根據文章判斷哪個是錯的。選項A:男人做手術時需要準備更多氧氣。正確,第一段提到了。選項8:男人的勇氣和身體結構無關。錯誤,文章第三段第一句提到了don’t forget it is easi—er for him than for a woman.接著說了女人身體結構對于爬高的不利。選項c:女人夏天涼快冬天暖和。正確,第四段中間部分提到了。選項D:男人減肥容易。正確,男人脂肪少。
