But boys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions（情感） and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic act“boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a“real man”.Surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.George Carl, 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 girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys learning style, letting 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 them. Because boys generally have more acute eye, 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 genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes,” James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to 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.32Traditionally, in a mixed school ,boys _.A. behave more responsibly B. perform relatively betterC. grow up more healthilyD. receive a better education33The writer argues that a single-sex school would _.A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyB. help boys to be more competitive in schoolsC. force boys to be their emotions to be “real men”D. naturally strengthen boys traditional image of a man34.In Abigail James opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is_A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inB. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted(分心)C. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics(特征) of boysD. teaching can be designed to improve boys team spirit35.The underlined word “acute” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _ .A. lovelyB. seriousC. sharpD. dull第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Currently, people from all over the world prefer to shop online.
