【题目】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.

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Tom: Sandy. It seems that only half of the students passed the final exam.

Sandy: Really? The exam【1】have been very difficult this time.

Tom: Well, I’m really【2】(surprise) too. There are many students who definitely didn’t fail. According to Jack, there are eight boys in his class who failed,【3】(include) himself and Scott.

Sandy: Oh! Scott is【4】of the top students in the college. What about his sister, Kate? Did she pass?

Tom: Oh, yes. It seems she【5】(get) good marks.

Sandy: That’s【6】(absolute) unbelievable. ! Scott was【7】much better student than his sister, and has been working so hard for the last few months.

Tom: It seems【8】(fair), doesn’t it? But, from【9】I’ve heard, perhaps he worked too hard. He was ill during the week of the exam.

Sandy: Oh, I see. These things happen, sometimes. I suppose the teacher will take his illness into account and give him a pass.

Tom: Well, there is a rumor going around【10】the head of the Department is leaving.

Sandy: Because of the bad result, you mean?

Tom: Well, I suppose so. I’m not sure. Maybe Mr. Smith is going to be the new Department Head.

【题目】—Morning，Madame，can I help you?

【题目】Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time．Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage．But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?

Here are some tips from Dr. Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia．

1． Laceration （裂口）

The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration．【1】 A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep. However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention．

2． Fingertips cut off

Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery to repair．【2】More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful．

3． Bleeding

【3】 Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous （静脉的） bleeding． This means the blood flows steadily from the injury．The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound． In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to rive minutes would do．But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial （动脉的）bleeding．【4】

Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection． Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water． 【5】 Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage．

A．How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is．

B．That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip

C．This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible．

D．The first signs of this disease include difficulty in opening the mouth．

E．Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty．

F．With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood．

G．The length is usually not as important as the depth．

【题目】The Human Genome Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life. But those communities and policy makers are also careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.

For the last few years, the genetic advances in the fast developing field of biotechnology have provided material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the population imagination.

While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research in the Untied States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with as yet terrible diseases, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.

Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome; as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.

【1】Why did the scientists work so hard at mapping the human genome?

A. Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses.

B. Because the genetic map’s completion can help to get rid of many diseases.

C. Because they wanted to be better known than others.

D. Because the Human Genome Project can provided a lot of chances of work.

【2】According to the passage, which of the following countries is the most advanced in genetic research?

A. Japan B. Germany C. The United States D. China

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. If the genes can be found, scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses.

B. The United States began genetic research early in the 19th century.

C. Many medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.

D. The scientists have made great progress in connecting some genes with the cancers.

【4】What is mainly talked about in this passage?

A. The great human genome. B. The discovery of genes.

C. Unlocking the genetic code. D. Genes and scientists.
