In a cold winter, a couple had to move out from the luxury villa because of bankruptcy. The husband worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “he doesn't love me anymore, he just cares his business...not me”.

One day, she began to take a bath, he stopped her at the door, "Let me take it first, OK?" "Why not let me shower first," she asked. "I was tired, sweetie, you take it later, OK?" She was totally depressed.

On a morose day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer, a few words blurred her eyes...it was his diary:

Today, I was quite sad, she asked me why I was always taking the bath first, and I said to her, I was exhausted. She was unhappy, in her mind, I treated her not as well as usual, but how can I do? I wasn’t as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, there was only a shower in such a freezing winter. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a litter warm, so every time I rushed to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, at least1℃,2℃or 3℃

Now I can't give her comfortable life, bring her the luxury restaurant, buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1℃love.

56. Why was the husband always taking the bath first?

A.　　 Because he was tired from work.

B.　　 Because he didn’t love her anymore.

C.　　 Because he wanted to get the bathroom warmer.

D.　　 Because he treated his wife not as well as usual.

57. What does the underlined word “bankruptcy” in the first paragraph probably mean?

A.　　 crash

B.　　 moving

C.　　 diseases

D.　　 failure

58. The best title of the passage may be ______.

A.　　 A trouble

B.　　 1℃love

C.　　 Husband and wife

D.　　 A romantic love story

56.C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a litter warm, so every time I rushed to the bathroom first可知C正確。

57.D考查推測詞義。根據(jù)“他們從豪華別墅搬出，進(jìn)入小公寓，證明他們的公司破產(chǎn)失敗”。

58.B考查文章的主旨要義。根據(jù)文章的整體大意可知，丈夫先洗澡是因?yàn)樗赐旰笏疁貢?度。全文突出了這個思想，故選B。

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學(xué)年廣東省六校高三第一次聯(lián)考英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

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(性別).

       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(腸道), 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
