13、ved in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak E
14、nglish with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. “We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happenedMy friends spoke
15、little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacations”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, b
16、ecause they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In E
17、nglish, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different roadWhen my friends saw the word DIVERSION on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. On

22、d to express my politenessBMaurice Sendaks childrens book, Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963, has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.The books main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed wi
23、thout any supper. Before long, Maxs room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away to a land where monsters live. Max isnt scared (害怕的), though, and becomes king of the wild things, but after a while, he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in
24、his bedroom.Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination. Melina Davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,”
25、 she said.The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children, but experts say those words help improve childrens reading skills and challenge them.Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. “The book talks about what all children
26、 go through, like I was naughty but my mommy still love me,” Davis said.The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think its really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” Davis said. “Kids can find out monsters arent always the thing under the bed thats going to scare th
27、em. I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive (积极的) experience.”Since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful b
28、ut it might be a little scary for younger children. “You dont want bad dreams over a book thats extremely wonderful.” Davis said.31.

32、ools 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 (男子气概), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to be consistent to
33、 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 abilities to express their emotions, rather than feeling they had to obey to the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”
34、.The findings of the study are against the received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being ignored by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize
35、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 female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys learning style, l
36、etting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys 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 th
37、em. Because boys generally have sharper 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 sex
38、ism are major themes,” James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to give in to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools boys feel pressed to act like men before they understand themselves well enough t
39、o know what that means,” the study reported.36. The author believes that a single-sex school would _ .A. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”B. help to form masculine aggressiveness in boysC. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyD. naturally place emphasis (强调) on the tr
40、aditional image of a man to boys37. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _ .A. perform relatively better B. grow up more healthily C. behave more responsibly D. receive a better education38. What does Tony Little say about the British education system?A. It fails more boys than girls
41、academically (学术上).B. It focuses more on mixed school education.C. It fails to give boys the attention they need.D. It places more pressure on boys than on girls.39. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is _.A. teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of
42、 boysB. boys can focus on their lessons without being absent-mindedC. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inD. teaching can be designed to promote boys team spirit40. Which of the following is the characteristic of boys according to Abigail James report?A. They enjoy being in charg
43、e. B. They act the same to stereotypes. C. They have sharper vision. D. They are violent and sexist.第二节 信息匹配（共10分，每小题两分）首先，请阅读下列电视节目预告的介绍： TODAYS TELEVISION PROGRAMME PREVIEWA.
