III, Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The world was sharply separated into men and women, because that was the way we believed it should be. We hold this firm belief and made efforts to keep this 1. When a baby came to the world, he or she was expected to play different roles—boys were portrayed as noisy and naughty ones who people were more likely to 2 while girls were bound by strict social requirements to be lovely and 3. People became the product of their sex. Their social roles were determined when they were 4. Males were the producers of cool reasoning and were capable of 5. And being emotional was considered as the feature of females and their main activity location was 6.
7, with the development of civilization and women’s self-consciousness, more and more women have realized that such natural and physical differences between man and woman have no 8 with the differences between male and female excellence. Women are now confident to 9 the concepts as “male leadership” and “male power”, which are only terms invented by men and serve in men’s 10.
Such remarkable change in people’s viewpoint may well explain the gradual 11 of single-sex schools. The aim of education is to stimulate imagination, encourage free thinking and keep alive various interests. But the single-sex school follows the same regulations and 12 a set of separate subjects for males or females. In single-sex schools, instead of being offered a rich expansion of experience, students have access to 13 knowledge. Such education harms individual freedom and kills the possibility for a young person to develop into a(n) 14 human. Furthermore, such sexual distinction is also dangerous as it breaks up the sense of community by 15 people into two sex groups, which eventually damages the development of human civilization.

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be1to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are2wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right3,and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent4.
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be5for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is6acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into7.
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know8what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is9to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and10be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel to11when stealing some food to eat, if lives in a really poor area and he is12.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to1 water to the runners. I remember being so2 to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! So the next year I3 up for the race.

But then I realizedsomething. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had8abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my9 was only to finish.
After a minute, it10 me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment. I turned my embarrassment into11.

Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know whether you think you are a 1person or a coward (懦夫). But you will never really know the answer to this question 2you are tested in real life. Some people think they are brave, but when they come face to face with real 3, they act like cowards.

Lenny had always thought of himself as a 4person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy. Then on January 15th, 2002, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. Lenny happened to see a woman in the ice-cold water. He did not feel afraid. He5very calm and did a very dangerous thing. He jumped into the Potomac, 6to the woman, and kept her head 7the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not 8.
When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically(自动地) produces a chemical called adrenalin in the blood. With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are 9to fight or run away. However, when you are terrified greatly, the body can produce too much adrenalin.10this happens, the muscles become very hard. You are then paralyzed (麻木) with fear. This is why when we are extremely frightened, we sometimes say we are “petrified”. This word 11a Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”. We are 12frightened that we become stonelike.
