Question

       Single-sex schools are better than mixed schools                     Message 1 — posted by Jane,Amsterdam 

             I think mixed-sex schools are the only way for children to leam,because it's natural. In higher education and their working life,they will be mixed so it makes sense for them to be mixed at school. School should reflect the real world. 

             Message 2 — posted by Hans,Germany 

             My reaction to this is very clear. For me,single-sex schools are much better,and the statistics show that they get better exam results,particularly at secondary level. Anything which helps children pass exams must be a good thing.

             Boys and girls learn in very different ways. I feel that they should be educated separately so teachers can focus on their different needs. The way I see it is that if you have a zoo,you don^，t put the lions in with the zebras!

             My view on this is that it doesn^，t really matter. What is important is the curriculum (課程) , and keeping students interested. I was a teacher and we had a lot of truancy (逃學) to deal with,and problems with students missing lessons because they found them boring. Never have a timetable with Maths as the first class on Monday morning!

             Message 5 — posted by Emily,Sydney 

             I don^，t think there is any question that mixed schools are better. There is too much competition at single-sex schools,which often means that students don't make enough progress. I also think there is more bullying (欺凌) at single-sex schools, where children are picked on because of the increased competition. Single-sex schools lead to a “dog eat dog” situation.

D篇(社會)

本文是議論文。文章主要引述了五個人對單性別學校和男女生混合學校的不同

觀點。

32. A. 觀點態(tài)度題。由Message 1—節(jié)中的 I think mixed-sex schools are the only way for children to learn,because it's natural可知，Jane對男女生混合學校持支持的態(tài)度，故她反對單性別學校。

33. A. 細節(jié)理解題。由Message 2—節(jié)中的 single-sex schools are much better和Message 3—節(jié)中的 I feel that they should be educated separately可知，Hans和Bill都認為單性別學校比男女生混合學校好，男生和女生應該分開上課。

34. D. 推理判斷題。由Message 4—節(jié)中的What is important is the curriculum,and keeping students interested 可知， Martin認為最重要的是讓學生對課程感興趣。

35. C. 推理判斷題。由最后一段中的There is too much competition at single-sex schools和I also think there is more bullying ... because of the increased competition 可知，Emily 用“dog eat dog” 是為了說明單性別學校里激烈的競爭。
