Let’s become volunteers D. Make our world without hunger C It is commonly believed that all over the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.‎ Always 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 correspond to(和…相符) the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".‎ Surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.‎ George Carl, 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 girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.‎ But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust 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, 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 appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute 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 genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.‎ Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to 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.‎ ‎28. The writer argues that a single-sex school would __________.‎ A. force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men".‎ B. help boys to be more competitive in schools.‎ C. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely D. naturally strengthen boys’ traditional image of a man ‎29. Traditionally, in a mixed school boys __________.‎ A. perform relatively better. B. behave more responsibly.‎ C. grow up more healthily. D. receive a better education.‎ ‎30. In Abigail James’ opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.‎ A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in B. teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit C. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted D. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boys ‎31. The underlined word “acute” in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______ .‎ A. lovely                  B. sharp                   C.  serious    D. dull ‎ D During Tom’s growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him do all kinds of housework. But when Tom reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He was more satisfied with his job, his marriage, and his health. For him, life seems easy.‎ ‎ A study that followed the lives of 450 teenage boys from New York revealed the finding, which showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Smith, the ‎ psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”‎ ‎ Smith’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Smith, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.‎ The finding revealed the link between childhood activities and adulthood job is sharp. Working---at any age----is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence---the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live meaningfully in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”‎ ‎32. Tom is a person who ______.‎ A. received little love from his family.‎ B. had few childhood friends.‎ C. enjoyed his life when he grew up.‎ D. was envied by others in his childhood.‎ ‎33. Smith’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.‎ A. a description of personal values and social values B. an analysis of how work was related to competence C. an example for parents’ expectations of their children D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men ‎34. Smith’s team got their findings by _____.‎ A. recording the boys’ effort in school B. evaluating the men’s mental health C. comparing different sets of scores D. measuring the men’s problem solving ability ‎35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. competent adults know more about love than work.‎ B. Emotional health is important to a wonderful adult life.‎ C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.‎ D. Independence is the key to one’s success.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ When we think about the dreams we have, it is surprising to see how many people failed even if they could have succeeded.
