Question

14．Boys'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 conform to a stereotype．a(chǎn) 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 conform to the"boy code"of hiding their emotions to be a"real man"．
The findings of the study go against received wisdom 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 female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills．
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor 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 they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be"masterful and in charge"in relationships．"In mixed schools boys feel compelled to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means，"the study reported．

63．The author believes that a single-sex school wouldC．
A．force boys to hide their emotions to be"real men"
B．help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys
C．encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
D．naturally reinforce in boys the traditional image of a man
64．According to the passage，in mixed schools boysD．
A．grow up less healthily
B．behave less responsibly
C．get an unequal education
D．perform relatively worse
65．What does Tony Little say about the British education system？C
A．It fails more boys than girls academically．
B．It focuses more on mixed school education．
C．It fails to give boys the attention they need．
D．It places more pressure on boys than on girls．
66．According to Abigail James，one of the advantages of single-sex schools isB．
A．teaching can be designed to promote boys'team spirit
B．teaching can be made to suit the characteristics of boys
C．boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D．boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述的是單獨的男生學校的優(yōu)點和好處，在這樣的學校里，可以根據(jù)男性的特點組織教學，不受女生發(fā)展的影響．

解答 63．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一段Boys'schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art，dance and music．可知在a single-sex school，男孩更自由地表達自己的觀點．故C正確．
64．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章2，3段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 obey a stereotype（陳規(guī)舊俗），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 obey the"boy code"of hiding their emotions to be a"real man"．可知在這樣的學校里，男生可能會表現(xiàn)得更好．故D正確．
65．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第5段1，2行Tony Little，headmaster of Eton，warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls．可知他認為在英國，老師給予了女性太多的關注．給男性的關心太少．故C正確．
66．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor 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．
可知他認為在這樣的學校里，老師可以根據(jù)男性的特點來進行教學活動，故B正確．

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
