22、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(阳刚) , 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

23、Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 【1】 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 【2】This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.

【3】 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 【4】When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.

There are many common methods used to cook fish. 【5】First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices. Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.

A．Do not buy it.

B．If you like it, you can buy more.

C．The easiest is to steam it.

E．It just requires a little knowledge.

F．When buying fish, you should first smell it.
