21、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 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 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

22、Promoting Body Positivity Movement

“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the popular saying goes. It reminds us that something’s appearance shouldn’t be the most important thing when we are determining its value. 【1】 Its message is that we should value ourselves for who we are warts and all. So what can we do to promote body positivity?

Not comparing your body to others, particularly celebrities, is a good first step. 【2】 Comparing only creates a standard we think we need to reach and leads to feelings of disappointment if we aren’t up to scratch.

【3】 When someone says something nice, embrace it — don’t push it away or play it down. And flatter others too. If you think someone looks nice, or someone has a good idea, tell them, which can lift them up.

Appreciate your body for what it can do — walking, yoga, playing sports or otherwise. 【4】 You can be an incredible man regardless of your shape or size.

And finally, don’t forget that low self-esteem and body confidence issues affect everyone. There aren’t a lot of guys that are pushing the idea of body positivity. The only person who can truly affect your body positivity is you. Becoming comfortable with yourself is unlikely to be accomplished overnight — but don’t give up and just move. Remember that everyone is insecure sometimes. 【5】 Love what you look like.

A．This is what the body positivity movement is all about.

B．Regular workout brings you a strong and capable body.

C．Stopping judging ourselves against our imperfections is important.

D．Be unapologetic about who you are and what you want as a person.

E．Learn to express your admiration, which promotes positive mental health.

F．Being insecure in your daily life is common and sometimes necessary.

G．We are surrounded by these idealized images of what it is to be beautiful.

23、Sallows, the owner of a barbershop(理发店), designed a wheelchair-accessible barber chair, which was brought to reality by the engineers in the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. They have developed the device that will help individuals with physical disabilities have a more tailored, comfortable and safe experience at the barbershop. “It’s a barber chair—that was the first concept,” said Sallows. “But now we are in the process of creating, developing, and applying new technologies for applications in multiple settings such as dentist chairs or stadium seats,” said Sallows.

Sallows worked in a hospital as a certified therapist(治疗专家)for nearly 20 years. He enjoyed his career but decided to learn a trade. “I want something in the wheelhouse of therapists,” said Sallows. “I need something fulfilling, so I think barbering.” In one way, some may see it as a big career change, but Sallows says he is still a therapist. “I joke, I say I’ve gone from therapy to ‘hairapy’,” said Sallows. “Barbering gives me that therapeutic kind of environment that allows me to still talk. People know me as a therapist when they come in, not only as a barber, and so, just the conversations are really cool.”

Sallows learned that a barbershop proved complex for clients in wheelchairs. Having one’s hair washed or getting a close shave often means being physically lifted out of the wheelchair and into a barber chair—an experience that is both difficult and embarrassing. So Sallows, with the help of the UPMC, has created the barber chair that lifts and tips a wheelchair back safely and comfortably. The user rolls onto the barber chair and is raised one or two feet, much like what one would see in a car shop. Sallows hopes that the device will provide clients with the kind of service people have come to appreciate at a barbershop.

【1】What is Sallows’s achievement?

A．He was named as the best therapist.

B．He became an engineer of the UPMC.

C．He created tailored and comfortable dentist chairs.

D．He designed a barber chair for the wheelchair-bound.

【2】Why did Sallows choose to work in barbering trade?

A．He could talk to cool clients.

B．He was eager to make a fortune.

C．He could use his former experience.

D．He wanted to start a different career.

【3】Which of the following best describes Sallows?

A．Cooperative and generous.

B．Innovative and caring.

C．Talented and competitive.

D．Modest and competent.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A Tailored Cut

B．A Flexible Wheelchair

C．A Skilled Barber

D．A Special Barbershop

24、If you are trying to achieve big goals in your life and work, the chances are that, from time to time, you hit rock bottom. Nothing works, nothing goes right, and nothing succeeds. At times like these, you may feel like throwing in the towel. But before you do, read the following story. It might just change your mind.

One day, a small business owner decided he'd had enough. Enough of the endless work, enough of the lack of response, enough of the disturbing loneliness.

He went into the woods to have one last talk to the wise man. "Mr. wise man," he said. "Can you give me one good reason why I shouldn't give up?"

The answer took him by surprise. "Look around you," the wise man said. "Do you see the fern f蕨类植物）and the bamboo?"

“Yes:' the man replied.

“When I planted the fern and the bamboo, I took very good care of them. I gave them both equal amounts of food and water. I gave them sunlight in spring and protected them from the storms in autumn. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not give up on the bamboo. In the, second year, the fern grew even better than before but nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not give up on the bamboo. In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But l would not give up. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. Still would not give up."

Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout(芽)came out from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small. But day by day the sprout grew. Within six months, the sprout had risen to a height of 100 feet. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it  what it needed to survive." "Did you know, young man, that all this time you have been struggling,  you have been growing? Grow the roots that you need to produce your fruit."

"Don't compare yourself to others. All things have different purposes, and different journeys.  The bamboo has a different purpose from the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come. You will rise high."

The small business owner left the forest. And never went back.

If nothing seems like it is happening in your life, despite all the work you're putting in,  remember that you're probably growing roots not fruit. Stick with it. One day not far from now,  there'll be a great harvest.

【1】The underlined phrase "throwing in the towel" in Paragraph l probably means .

A. crying out     B. showing off

C. giving up   D. running away

【2】After the wise man planted the fern and the bamboo,

A. he cared for the fern only

B. they didn't receive any care from him

C. he gave up the bamboo in the fifth year

D. the bamboo seed never stopped growing

B. not give up in face of difficulties

C. give up his business later

D. grow some bamboo later

【4】Which of the following best describes the story in the passage?

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

In 2000, when I was around seven years old, all my family were coming back from a T-ball game, which was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway – two adult geese and a small goose. Obviously startled by our return, the adults flew away in panic, with their baby, too young to fly, left in place, tiny and delicate.

Hours passed one after another, and night eventually fell. However, with it also came a deep chill and a fear of watchful animals. It was apparent that the gosling needed protection, warmth, and food to make it to the morning, so we had to help it, and we brought him onto our back yard.

We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to drive the goose away to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn’t go to them, though, and neither would they come close enough to claim him. We kept this up for five days, but no luck. Realizing the young goose had clearly decided we were his family by then, we had to give him a name, calling the little guy Peeper, because he would often follow us around the yard making a peeping (唧唧叫) noise, nonstop. Besides, we decided that Peeper was a boy. I don’t know why; it just felt right.

A year passed and we settled into a routine. Peeper slept on our back yard each night and, in typical goose fashion, used it as a latrine (公共厕所). My dad would spray off all the goose droppings daily. Part of this ceremony included Dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he could flap its wings and flew a loop （圈）around the house, and then came back again once the porch was clean.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months.
