B

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2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3题:

    According to the author, the reason why parental divorce has greater effect on boys than on girls is that_____.

    [A] all cultures encourage male aggression and noncompliance

    [B] boys are always involved in their parents’ fights

    [C] males are usually viewed as the models in self-control and strong will

    [D] boys are basically more self-disciplined than girls


    正确答案:C

    本题考查推理引申。第三段中间作者提出了一个问题,怎样解释离婚对男孩影响比女孩大的原因呢?接下来文章从三个方面进行了解释:一,我们的文化更能容忍男孩具有攻击性和不驯服;二,男孩更希望树立起自律的强悍的男人形象,也希望父母严格自律;三,男孩较少受到他人的同情与支持。[C]符合第二点原因,是正确项。[A]错在“所有文化”,文章中是“我们的文化”。[B]错在“卷入(involved in)”,全文最后一句提到的是“男孩更容易看到(be exposed to)父母吵架”。[D]这种说法无从推知。

    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。

    Teaching Math,Teaching Anxiety
    In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school,the psychologists at the University of Chicago Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn:If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills,then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.
    If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades,it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement said Levine. In other words,girls may end up learning math anxiety from their teachers. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are,then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.
    Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult,teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn一and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone. Researchers use the word“anxiety”to describe such feelings:anxiety is uneasiness or worry.
    The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math,that feeling can influence how her female students feel about math. The study involved 65 girls,52 boys and 17 first-and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year,and the researchers compared the scores.
    The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers:To find out which teachers were anxious about math,the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math,such as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt,for example,was probably anxious about math.
    Boys,on average,were unaffected by a teacher's anxiety. On average,girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus,on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy,20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math一and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety.
    “This is an interesting study,but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need of replication with a larger sample,”said David Geary,a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia.

    What is the result of the research at the University of Chicago,according to the first paragraph?
    A:Girls comfortable with their own math skills are better than boys at math.
    B: Girls uncomfortable with their own math skills are not as good as boys at math.
    C: Female teachers'math skills have influence over girl students'math skills.
    D: Female teachers'confidence in their math skills is related to girls'math skills.

    本题考查推理引申。全文提到了多个决定父母离异对孩子影响的因素,包括性格、年龄、性别。第一段指出,喜怒无常、性格急躁的孩子更容易受影响。第二段提到,随着年龄的增长,一些影响会消失或新的影响出现。第三段则提到,父母离异最初对男孩的影响较大,而女孩受到的影响较隐蔽,进入青春期或成年期后,新的问题又浮出水面。因此[A]是最全面的论述。文中没有提到“孩子交流”的问题,排除[B]。[C]涉及性别和个性两个因素,因此无法判断谁受到的影响更大;[D]太片面,只考虑了性别因素。

    What Makes Me the Weight I Am?
    There's no easy answer to this question.Your genetic makeup,the physical traits that get passed down to you from your parents,plays a big part in determining your size and weight. ______(46)But if your parents are smaller than average,you may want to rethink that professional basketball career!
    The same goes for your body type.Have you ever heard someone say a person is"big boned"?It's a way of saying the person has a large frame,or skeleton.Big bones usually weigh more than small bones. ______(47) Like your height or body type,your genes have a lot to say about what your weight will be.But that's only part of the story.Being overweight can run in someone 's family , but it may not be because of their genes._______ (48 ) And even though some kids gain weight more easily than others , when they eat right and exercise , most kids can be a healthy and happy weight that's right for them.It's true the way you live can change the way you look.
    How much you weigh is a balance between the calories you eat and the calories you use. ______(49)If you spend your free time watching TV, your body won' t use as many calories as it would if you played basketball,skated,or went for a walk.If you are in balance,your weight will stay right for you as you grow.But if you eat more and exercise less,you may become overweight.______(50)

    ______(50)
    A:That's why it's possible for two kids with the same height but different weight,to both be the right weight.
    B:If you eat more calories than your body needs to use,you will gain too much weight.
    C:Poor eating and exercise habits also run in families and this may be the reason the members.of a family are overweight.
    D:However , many overweight people have difficulty reaching their healthy body weight.
    E:On the other hand, "you eat less and exercise more, you, may lose weight.
    F:If both your parents are tall,there is a good chance you'II be tall.

    答案:E
    解析:
    空格前后句中都出现了parents,因此判断空格处也谈及parents的可能性很大,因此首先注意F项。而且空格前句中的your size and weight呼应F项中的tall,而空格后句中的smal-ler也是在说身高的问题,因此判断F是答案。
    由此空前文内容可知,人的骨骼有大小之分,而大骨架通常比小骨架要重,因此才有可能出现这种现象,即身高相同、体重不同的两个孩子体重均正常。
    前一句讲,身体超重有可能在家族中代代相传,但又不一定是基因遗传所致,接下来的句子就应说明其原因,即不良的饮食与运动习惯也代代相传,而这可能正是家族成员普遍超重的原因。
    空格前后句中都出现了“calories(热量)”,因此判断空格处出现该词的可能性较大,因此首先重点注意B项。空格后面的句子结构是“if you… , your body…”,该结构也正好与B呼应,形成排比结构,因此判断B是答案。
    前一句表明,如果一个人吃得多而运动得少,就有可能超重。“反之亦然”,即“吃得少而运动得多,体重就会减轻”,这显然应该是下一句要表达的意思。

    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.

    The author believes that a single-sex school would________.
    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

    答案:C
    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”。

    Teaching Math,Teaching Anxiety
    In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school,the psychologists at the University of Chicago Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn:If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills,then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.
    If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades,it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement said Levine. In other words,girls may end up learning math anxiety from their teachers. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are,then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.
    Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult,teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn一and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone. Researchers use the word“anxiety”to describe such feelings:anxiety is uneasiness or worry.
    The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math,that feeling can influence how her female students feel about math. The study involved 65 girls,52 boys and 17 first-and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year,and the researchers compared the scores.
    The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers:To find out which teachers were anxious about math,the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math,such as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt,for example,was probably anxious about math.
    Boys,on average,were unaffected by a teacher's anxiety. On average,girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus,on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy,20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math一and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety.
    “This is an interesting study,but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need of replication with a larger sample,”said David Geary,a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia.

    The sixth paragraph tells us that the research findings______.
    A:prove a strong link between female teachers'math anxiety and their female students' math achievements
    B: show that male students are less likely to be affected by their math anxiety than female students
    C: provide strong evidence that math superstars are more likely to be males than females
    D: discover a strong link between teachers'math anxiety and their students'math achievements

    问答题
    ◆Topic 9: Primary Functions of University Education  Questions for Reference:  1. Most people think that teachers should teach students how to judge right and wrong and how to behave well. Please discuss this view.  2. Why do you think lots of teachers pay much more attention to teaching students academic subjects than other aspects?  3. What’s your opinion of the primary functions of university education? Why do you think so?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    There is no doubt that helping students find a job is one of the primary functions of university education, but universities do exist for other purposes such as improving students’ analytical skills and raising students’ moral standards.
    A university education can be seen as a process of improving students’ analytical thinking. The variety of courses offered at university inspires students in various ways, therefore improving their analytical ability. For example, science courses such as math and biology help students develop a rational way of thinking whereas arts courses such as literature let students ponder over issues from a logical, multi-dimensional perspective; and courses in social sciences force students to recognize the ideas that have been traditionally assumed to be acceptable and unproblematic. With the development of these types of analytical thinking, graduates can face future challenges with more confidence and enthusiasm.
    Also, university education is expected to improve students’ moral standards. This is rooted in universities? Belief that students’ awareness of responsibility towards their community and their country is of high importance. In this ever-degrading society and civilization, students are encouraged actively participate in improving the local community. A university that provides care and facilities for physically disadvantaged students may inspire the graduates to better handle situations in the future where they may have to interact with the disabled community. A successful university education is supposed to produce morally sound graduates, therefore increasing their employability.
    In conclusion, university education not only helps students locate a decent job but will also develop other qualities such as enhancing their analytical skills and cultivating their hunger and spirit for life.
