試題分析:此篇文章先談到了考生考前緊張的原因,因?yàn)榭荚嚱Y(jié)果直接決定了他們能否進(jìn)入自己夢(mèng)寐以求的大學(xué)。但是Sian Beilock告訴我們,緊張是會(huì)影響考生的發(fā)揮。因?yàn)榫o張會(huì)導(dǎo)致注意力分散、記憶力下降。接下來(lái)用Professor Beilock 和Gerardo Ramirez兩個(gè)教授做的一個(gè)科學(xué)對(duì)比實(shí)驗(yàn)來(lái)表明這種緊張是可以克服的,考生可以在考前十分鐘用筆寫(xiě)下自己對(duì)這場(chǎng)考試緊張?jiān)颉?/span>

【1】whether。連詞,是否。學(xué)生考前緊張是因?yàn)樗麄儞?dān)心考試結(jié)果,而這個(gè)考試結(jié)果就決定了他們是否能進(jìn)入大學(xué)。Whether引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句,故填whether。

【2】them。Prevent sb from doing sth “阻止某人做某事”這里說(shuō)的是考生們擔(dān)心考試會(huì)影響他們能否進(jìn)入他們夢(mèng)寐以求的大學(xué)。故填them。指代這些考前緊張的考生們。

【3】actually。副詞“事實(shí)上,實(shí)際上!焙笪恼f(shuō)到當(dāng)他們緊張的時(shí)候,他們就用盡了注意力和記憶里。而actual是一個(gè)形容詞不能表示程度,只有把它變成副詞才能表示緊張的結(jié)果。故填actually。

【4】a。后面的名詞“possible solution”可能的解決辦法是一個(gè)單數(shù),而且是本篇文章中第一次提到它。故要用a修飾,故填a。

【5】writing。Spend sometimes (in) doing sth“花一些時(shí)間做某事。這是一個(gè)固定搭配,也做Spend sometimes (on) doing sth。Professor Beilock 和Gerardo Ramirez,兩個(gè)教授做了一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn),讓考試緊張的人考前花十分鐘將自己的緊張寫(xiě)下來(lái)。故填writing。

【6】What。What引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)主語(yǔ)從句,“ students put it(their stress)down on paper, is“ we think happens .”所以真正的主語(yǔ)是is后面的短語(yǔ)。故填what。

【7】prevents。及物動(dòng)詞,阻止。Prevent的主語(yǔ)是it,it指的是上文中提到的write about their worries about the test.這里是第三人稱(chēng)單數(shù),故填prevents。

【8】researchers?瞻滋幒竺嬲劦健皌ested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students.”實(shí)驗(yàn)一定是需要人來(lái)做,而這個(gè)主語(yǔ)就是括號(hào)處的詞語(yǔ),因此是研究者而不是研究。故填researcher,又上文中提到,這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)是Professor Beilock 和Gerardo Ramirez兩個(gè)教授一起做的實(shí)驗(yàn),故researcher需要變成復(fù)數(shù)形式researchers。

【9】After。副詞,在…之后。Professor Beilock 和Gerardo Ramirez他們做的是兩個(gè)數(shù)學(xué)測(cè)試,所以在第一個(gè)完了之后教授們讓被實(shí)驗(yàn)者安靜坐著或者寫(xiě)下他們的緊張。因此此處填after。

【10】or。介詞,或者。either…or用在并列句中,二者選其一,“要么…要么…;不是…就是…”這里說(shuō)的是第一場(chǎng)數(shù)學(xué)測(cè)試過(guò)了之后,教授讓被實(shí)驗(yàn)者安靜坐著或者寫(xiě)下他們的緊張。二者選其一,故填or。

【題目】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(陽(yáng)剛) , 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.
