【題目】My husband and I had been married nearly twenty-two years when I acquired Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a disorder where my immune system (免疫系統(tǒng)) responded to a virus by producing painful blisters (水皰). Although my long-term evaluation was good, I, who had been so fiercely independent, rapidly became absolutely helpless.

My husband, Scott, stepped up to the plate, taking care of kids and cooking dinners. He also became my personal caretaker, applying the medicine to all of my blisters because my hands couldn’t do the job. Needless to say, I had negative emotions, bouncing from embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.

At one point when I had mentally and physically hit bottoms I remember thinking that Scott must somehow love me more than I could ever love him. With my illness, he had become the stronger one, and I the weaker one. And this disturbed me.

I recovered from my illness, but I couldn’t seem to recover from the thought that I loved my husband less than he loved me. This seeming distinction in our love continued to annoy me for the year following my illness.

Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride. He’s an experienced cyclist; I’m quite the green hand. At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my tired legs, I really thought I couldn’t go any further. Seeing me struggle, Scott pulled in front of me and yelled over his shoulder, “Stay close behind me.” As I fell into the draft of his six- foot- three- inch frame and followed his steps, I discovered that my legs quit burning and I was able to catch my breath. My husband was pulling me along again. At this very moment I woke up to what I now believe: during these and other tough times, love has the opportunity to become stronger when one partner learns to lean on the other.

I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy. But if he should ever become the struggling one, whether on a bike ride or with an illness, I trust I’ll be ready to call out to him: Stay close behind me-my turn to pull you along.

【4】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “stepped up to the plate” in paragraph 2?

【3】C

細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第四段 Seeing me struggle, Scott pulled(拉) in front of me and yelled over his shoulder, Stay close behind me(緊緊跟著我). 和 My husband was pulling me along again. 可知作者進(jìn)行長(zhǎng)途的騎車運(yùn)動(dòng)時(shí)，她的丈夫一路上給她支持和鼓勵(lì)，B選項(xiàng) backed her up all the way 意為 一路上支持她 ，符合題干，故選C.

【題目】Haad Farang (Haad Sai Yao),KohMuk

This small but striking bay in Thailand has waters free from riptides（激流）,making it safe for families to play water in the sun.As its nickname implies—Farang is Thai for foreigners—you'll find a large concentration of backpackers here.Still,with only a couple of simple food shops,it's a far cry from the noises of Chaweng beach on Koh Samui or Kamala on Phuket,which makes it to be one of the top tourist destinations.

Where to eat

The Ko Yao Viewpoint Hotel is the best place for tourists.Drink the sweet cocktails in favour of an icy Chang beer and sit in the last rays of the day.

Where to stay

Cheaper hotels of comparable quality are set slightly back in the forest,but if you want beachfront access it's worth choosing one of the basic hotels at Koh Mook Charlie Beach Resort (bungalows from￡32).

Getting there

Fly from Bangkok to Trang with Air Asia (from￡30),then take a one-hour Tigerline ship from Hat Yao Pier (￡19).Besides,a five-hour ship from Phuket at Rassada Pier(￡41) goes directly to the island and will drop passengers at Haad Farang.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Traditionally, across the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions (情感) and encourage them to take part in activities such as art, dance and music.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to take part in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和…相符) the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".
The findings of the study go against accepted wisdom that boys do better when taught together with girls.
Tony Little, head master of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor (量身定做) lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine（女性的） and prefer the modern genre （類型） in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.
（1）The author believes that a single-sex school would __________.
A.force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"
B.help boys to be more competitive in schools.
C.encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
D.naturally strengthen boys' traditional image of a man
（2）It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys __________.
A.behave more responsibly.
B.grow up more healthily.
C.perform relatively better.
D.receive a better education.
（3）According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is __________.
A.teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B.boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
C.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D.teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit
（4）What does the underlined word “acute” in paragraph 8 mean?
A.lovely
B.sharp
C.serious
D.dull
