高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

At a primary school in a small town in the east of South Carolina, second-grade teachers Garneau and Lynne are convinced that separating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement in both genders(性别).

David Chadwell, South Carolina’s coordinator of single gender education says, “Boys and girls learn, hear and respond to their surroundings differently. We can teach boys and girls based on what we now know.”

Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains. The composition of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction. “Boys interpret the world as objects moving through space,” he says.

The male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver and black. It’s no accident boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy colorful family, like girls do in their class.

The female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colors like red, yellow and orange. To attract girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesn’t need to move as much as in boy’s class. Using descriptive phrases and lots of colors in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attention.

Boys and girls also hear differently. “When someone speaks in a loud tone, girls interpret it as yelling,” Chadwell says. “They think you’re mad and can shut down.” Girls are more sensitive to sounds. He advises girls’ teachers to watch the tone of their voices. Boys’ teachers should sound more forceful, even excited.

A boy’s nervous system causes him to be more cautious when he is standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 69 degrees Fahrenheit. Stress in boys, he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focused. Girls are more focused when seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Girls also respond to stress differently. When exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts(肠道), leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.

These differences can be applied in the classroom, Chadwell adds. “Single gender programs are about maximizing the learning.”

1.What is David Chadwell’s attitude toward separating elementary-age boys and girls while learning?

A. Supportive               B. Worried            C. Concerned                D. Uninterested

2. To engage boy in a class, the teacher ______.

A. must have a moving object in this hand   B. needs to wear clothes in warm color

C. has to speak politely                              D. had better move constantly while teaching

3.Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?

(= Paragraph 1  ‚= Paragraph 2  ƒ= Paragraph 3  ….. ˆ= Paragraph 8)

A.                                  B.

C.                                     D.

4.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. Ways of teaching boys and ways of teaching girls

B. Boys and girls should be separated

C. How boys and girls learn differently

D. How to teach more effectively

5.Which of the following students is most likely to be focused?

A. A boy sitting in a warm room                 B. A standing boy who is faced with stress

C. A girl standing in a cold room                D. A girl who is facing a lot of pressure

As with many churches,its walls are graced with a collection of beautiful stained-glass windows. Known as the“John Allen window”, one window portrays the short life of a local man,John Allen,who died in 1915 in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey.

Divided into two parts，one depicts (描绘) St.George，the patron saint (守护神) of soldiers，while the other has an angel of peace, along with the words at the bottom,“John Hugh All Gallipoli,6th June,1915”. Two trees with local birds on the branches can be seen and a kiwi walks at the bottom- reminders that John was a lover of birds.

“There are many war memorials in the church," says the church. “However the ‘John Allen window' stands out; it touches people because of the beautiful design, the New Zealand birds and because John's story, of a life so full of promise ending tragically in the war,reflects the lives and stories of so many others involved in World War I.”

Something strange happened after I drove a long 41  and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to 42 , but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the 43  that I had made the 44  mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it 45 , I decided to go on. “If 46  people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I 47  myself

The short cut, to my surprise ,was not that 48 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road, 49  up and down two low 50 .There was 51  traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and 52  with cows and horses. My fear was 53  with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立体声), I drove on and 54  the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me 55 . It was just in this light heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.
