【題目】Boy’s schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art dance and music. Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(陽剛) , the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to agree with a stereotype, a US study says.

Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to agree with the “boy code”of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.

The report, presented at a conference of the International Boys’Schools Coalition in London attended by the heads of private and state schools, goes against_______that boys do better when taught alongside girls. Tony little, headmaster 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 their females peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills. But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boy’s 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 interest them. Because boys generally have more acute(sharp)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 type in which violence and sexism are major themes” James wrote.

Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to agree with a stereotype that men should 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】In the eyes of the author, a single-sex school would__________.

A. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real man”

B. help to develop masculine aggressiveness in boys

C. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely

D. naturally stress in boys the traditional image of a man

【2】The phrase “received wisdom” (paragraph 3) is most likely to mean____________.

A. better education B. common belief

C. good behavior D. strong responsibility

【3】What does Tony Little think of the British education system?

A. It fails more boys than girls thoroughly

B. It makes boys more emotional than girls

C. It fails to give boys the attention they need

D. It focuses more on mixed school education

【4】Which is one of the advantages of single-sex schools according to Abigail James?

A. Teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys

B. Boys can focus on their lessons without being disturbed

C. Boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in

D. Teaching can be designed to promote boy’s team spirit

【5】According to Abigail James’s report, which of the following is characteristic of boys?

A. They enjoy being in charge and master

B. They love to be greatly encouraged

C. They are violent and sexist

D. They have sharper vision

【題目】When I left home for college, I sought to escape the limited world of farmers, small towns, and country life. I long for the excitement of the city, for the fast pace that rural life lacked, for adventure beyond the horizon. I dreamed of exploring the city, living within a new culture and landscape, and becoming part of the pulse of an urban jungle.

Yet some of my best times were driving home, leaving the city behind and slipping back into the valley. As city life disappeared and traffic thinned, I could see the faces of the other drivers relax. Then, around a bend in the highway, the grassland of the valley would come into being, offering a view of gentle rolling hills. The land seemed permanent. I felt as if I had stepped back in time.

I took comfort in the stability of the valley. Driving through small farm communities, I imagined the founding families still rooted in their grand homes, generations working the same lands, neighbors remaining neighbors for generations. I allowed familiar farmhouse landmarks to guide me.

Close to home, I often turned off the main highway and took a different, getting familiar farms again and testing my memory. Friends lived in those houses. I had eaten meals and spent time there; I had worked on some of these farms, lending a hand during a peak harvest, helping a family friend for a day or two. The houses and lands looked the same, and I could picture the gentle faces and hear familiar voices as if little had been changed. As I eased into our driveway I’d returned to old ways, becoming a son once again, a child on the family farm. My feelings were honest and real. How I longed for a land where life stood still and my memories could be relived. When I left the farm for college, I could only return as visitor to the valley, a traveler looking for home.

Now the farm is once again my true home. I live in that farmhouse and work the permanent lands. My world may seem unchanged to casual observers, but they are wrong. I know this: if there’s a constant on these farms, it’s the constant of change.

The good observer will recognize the differences. A farmer replants an orchard (果園) with a new variety of peaches. Irrigation is added to block of old grapes, so I imagine the vineyard has a new owner. Occasionally the changes are clearly evident, like a FOR SALE sign. But I need to read the small print in order to make sure that a bank has taken possession of the farm. Most of the changes contain two stories. One is the physical change of the farm, the other involves the people on that land, the human story behind the change.

I’ve been back on the farm for a decade and still haven’t heard all the stories behind the changes around me. But once I add my stories to the landscape, I can call this place my home, a home that continues to evolve and changes as I add more and more of my stories.

A poet returns to the valley and says, “Little has changed in the valley, and how closed–minded you all are!” He comments about the lack of interest in sports, social and environmental issues in the poverty and inequality of our life. He was born and raised here, so he might have the right to criticize and lecture us. Yet he speaks for many who think they know the valley. How differently would others think of us if they knew the stories of a grape harvest in a wet year or a peach without a home?

【1】The most important reason why the writer wanted to move to the city is that_________.

A. he did not want to work on the farm

B. he wanted to make new friends

C. he was eager for a different life there

D. there were more things to do there

【2】What made the writer relax as he drove from the city to the country?

A. He could see for miles and miles.

B. The traffic moved more slowly.

C. The people he passed seemed to be calmer.

D. The land seemed familiar to him.

【3】When driving through the valley the writer was guided home by________ .

A. familiar farmhouses which left him a good memory

B. houses that had sheltered generations of the same family

C. land that had been worked by a family for generations

D. large farms which stretched out right before him.

【4】When he was in college, why was the writer sad when he returned to his family home?

A. He remembered how hard he used to work.

B. He realized that he was only a visitor.

C. He recognized the old housed and land.

D. He remembered his next door neighbors.

【5】Which of the following most likely indicates that there is a sad human story behind a physical change on the farm?

A. A new variety of peach is being planted.

B. Irrigation is being added to a grape operation.

C. A piece of land is being sold by a bank.

D. A farm is being sold to a large corporation.

【6】The fact that most upsets the writer with the poet is that________.

A. the poet prefers to live in the urban area

B. the poet thinks that the folk people are backward

C. the poet says that little has changed in the valley

D. the poet’s criticism and comments are not objective
