单选题

The text indicates that private schools are very selective because they ______.

have no reliable methods to pick students for a class

want a good mixture of boys and girls for classes

encounter more demand than they can cope with

prefer to enroll children of their relatives

参考答案和解析

正确答案： B

解析：
分析推理题。由第三段倒数第二句可知，学校可以挑剔地选择生源的原因当然是学生过多，而学校过少，故C项为正确答案。由第四段第二句可知，学校也知道，孩子们这么小，要从中挑出一个班来并非易事。而A项中用的则是have no reliable methods（没有可靠的办法），与原文不符。B项虽对应于第四段倒数第二句（They also want a diverse mix），但选项中的boys and girls为增添内容。D项意为“更愿意招收亲戚的孩子”，未被提及。

第2题：

The text indicates that private schools are very selective because they

[A] have no reliable methods to pick students for a class.

[B] want a good mixture of boys and girls for classes.

[C] encounter more demand than they can cope with.

[D] prefer to enroll children of their relatives.

正确答案：C
43．C该题为推理题。根据第三段“The problem for the applicants is that while demand has increased．supply has not.”可知申请私立学校的人数在增加，但私立学校的招生名额却没有增加。接着第四段详细讲了一些私立学校如何选择学生。由此可推断，私立学校对学生如此精挑细选的原因在于有太多的学生申请，他们不得不通过各种方法来选择学生。选项A与文章的意思有所出入，第四段第二句“Schools know there is no easy way to pick a class when children are so young.”可知学校认为选择学生没有简单的方法，并不是如A项所表示的选择的方法不可靠。选项B是某些学校选择生源的方法，即男女比例协调，由此可知A、B两项不能作为学校精心选择学生的原因。选项D在文中没有提及，故选C。

第3题：

People usually think that boys are stronger，heavier and taller than girls． Maybe it's true．Some people even think that boys are smarter than girls．

Expert's view:l can' t agree with them． If you say that girls learn faster than boys，you may be right，at least when it comes to young chimps(猩猩) using tools．

People found that girl chimps in Tanzania，East Africa，use sticks to find tasty insects(昆虫) two years earlier than boy chimps． This is because young girl chimps watch their moms col-lect bugs，while the boy chimps climb trees．

But young boy chimps may hunt and throw(扔) sooner than girl clumps．It's also true for humans．It-s easier for girls to learn to write and draw earlier，but boys often run and throw balls earlier than girls．

Teacher's view:l think boys and girls both have their special advantages． Boys are good at sports． They are very athletic． But girls do well in performance． They are very calm．

( )26． People usually think boys are _________'than girls．

A． taller

B． stronger

C． heavier

D． All of the above

第4题：

In the college-admissions wars, we parents are the true fighters． We're pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes so they can get into the college of our first choice． I've twice been to the wars, and as I survey the battlefield, something different is happening． We see our kids' college background as a prize demonstrating how well we've raised them． But we can't acknowledge that our obsession is more about us than them． So we've contrivedvarious justifications that turn out to be half-truths, prejudices or myths． It actually doesn't matter much whether Aaron and Nicole go to Stanford．
We have a full-blown prestige panic; we worry that there won't be enough prizes to go around． Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever． Underlying the hysteria is the belief that scarce elite degrees must be highly valuable． Their graduates must enjoy more success because they get a better education and develop better contacts． All that is plausible--and mostly wrong． We haven't found any convincing evidence that selectivity or prestige matters． Selective schools don't systematically employ better instructional approaches than less selective schools． On two measures--professor's feedback and the number of essay exams--selective schools do slightly worse．
By some studies, selective schools do enhance their graduates' lifetime earnings． The gain is reckoned at 2-4% for every 100-point increase in a school's average SAT scores． But even this advantage is probably a statistical fluke． A well-known study examined students who got into highly selective schools and then went elsewhere． They earned just as such as graduates from higher-status schools．
Kids count more than their colleges． Getting into Yale may signify intelligence, talent and ambition． But it's not the only indicator and, paradoxically, its significance is declining． The reason:
so many similar people go elsewhere． Getting into college isn't life's only competition． In the next competition--the job market and graduate school--the results may change． Old-boy networks are breaking down． Princeton economist Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph．D． program． High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didn' t．
So, parents, lighten up． The stakes have been vastly exaggerated． Up to a point, we can rationalize our pushiness． America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that． But too much pushiness can be destructive． The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment． One study found that, other things being equal, graduates of highly selective schools experienced more job dissatisfaction． They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything less disappoints．
Why do parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever?

A.They want to increase their children's chances of entering a prestigious college．
B.They hope their children can enter a university that offers attractive scholarships．
C.Their children will have a wider choice of which college to go to．
D.Elite universities now enroll fewer students than they used to．

答案：A

第6题：

Text 4 Despite the general negative findings, it is important to remember that all children who live through a divorce do not behave in the same way. The specific behavior. depends on the child’s individual personality, characteristics, age at the time of divorce, and gender. In terms of personality, when compared to those rated as relaxed and easygoing, children described as temperamental and irritable have more difficulty coping with parental divorce, as indeed they have more difficulty adapting to life change in general. Stress, such as that found in disrupted families, seems to impair the ability of temperamental children to adapt to their surroundings, the greater the amount of stress, the less well they adapt. In contrast, a moderate amount of stress may actually help an easygoing, relaxed child learn to cope with adversity.

There is some relationship between age and children’s characteristic reaction to divorce. As the child grows older, the greater is the likelihood of a free expression of a variety of complex feelings, an understanding of those feelings, and a realization that the decision to divorce cannot be attributed to any one simple cause. Self-blame virtually disappears after the age of 6, fear of abandonment diminishes after the age of 8, and the confusion and fear of the young child is replaced in the older child by shame, anger, and self-reflection.

Gender of the child is also a factor that predicts the nature of reaction to divorce. The impact of divorce is initially greater on boys than on girls. They are more aggressive, less compliant, have greater difficulties in interpersonal relationships, and exhibit problem behaviors both at home and at school. Furthermore, the adjustment problems of boys are still noticeable even two years after the divorce. Girls’ adjustment problems are usually internalized rather than acted out, and are often resolved by the second year after the divorce. However, new problems may surface for girls as they enter adolescence and adulthood. How can the relatively greater impact of divorce on boys than on girls be explained? The greater male aggression and noncompliance may reflect the fact that such behaviors are tolerated and even encouraged in males in our culture more than they are in females. Furthermore, boys may have a particular need for a strong male model of self-control, as well as for a strong disciplinarian parent. Finally, boys are more likely to be exposed to their parents’ fights than girls are, and after the breakup, boys are less likely than girls to receive sympathy and support from mothers, teachers, or peers.

第36题：Temperamental, irritable kids have difficulty adapting to parental divorce because_____.

［A］ they care too much about the life change

［B］ the great stress of their families diminishes their ability

［C］ they tend to lose temper easily and are sensitive to the life change

［D］ they are faced with more parents’ fights than the relaxed, easygoing children

正确答案：A

本题考查事实细节。第一段第三句提到，“喜怒无常、性格急躁的孩子与个性温和、容易相处的孩子相比，更难以应对父母的离异，因为他们一般更难以适应生活上的变化”。该句中as引导原因状语从句。因此［A］为正确答案，其中“care too much about”是原文“have more difficulty adapting to”的改写。［B］有较大干扰性，该段第四句进一步分析指出，压力使孩子难以适应生活上的变化，但这种压力可能来自家庭也可能来自其它方面。［C］中前一部分“容易发脾气”不是原因，只能算是不适应环境的表现。［D］本身从文中无法推知，更不是原因。全文末句提到的是“男孩比女孩面临父母更多的争吵”。

第三篇

Boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and are more likely to get involved in activities such as art,dance and music,according to research released today.
Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity,the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to a stereotype,the U.S. 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 report,presented at a conference of the International Boys' Schools Coalition in London attended by the heads of private and state schools,goes against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.
The headmaster of Eton,Tony Little,warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls.He criticised teachers for failing to recognise that boys are actually more emotional than girls,despite the fact that girls"turn on the waterworks".
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become demoralised when their female counterparts do better earlier in verbal skills and reading,because the left side of the brain develops faster in girls.They also felt they had to be"cool"rather than studious.
But in single-sex schools teachers are able to 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,education expert Abigail James,of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with specifically"boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because,the researchers say,boys generally have better spatial skills,more acute vision,learn best through touch,are more impulsive and more physically 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 and prefer the modern genre 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 gained from the media by girls that men should be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "in the present sexualised atmosphere prevalent in mnixed schools,boys feel coerced into acting like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,"the report said.

It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys__________.
A:perform relatively better
B:grow up more healthily
C:behave more responsibly
D:receive a better education

答案：A

解析：

文章第三段讲到：在男子学校里，一男生们可以有更多的杯会参与文化和艺术活动，还有助于他们发展情感表现力。他们不用强迫自己遵守“男性代码”，隐藏内心的感情，表现的像个“真正的男人”。
第四段最后讲到：报告驳斤了认为男生跟女生二起能学得更好的传统认识。因此得出人们通常认为“in a mixed school boys perform relatively better"。
第五段讲到：现在的英国教育体系太过关注女生，可能会造成对界李的教育失败。他批评教师们没有意识到，虽然女生很容易哭终，停男生其牢些幸生情感更丰富。
答案相关句是第七段第，句",..tahers are ab卜迄叹禅or lessons to boys' learning style...”······教师会为男生们量身制作适合体们学习方式的课程······。
相关句在第八段第二句：“...boys generally have better spatia1 skill, more acute vision, learn...”所以B项为正确答案。
