Boys' schools 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 (陽剛), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to 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 emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".
題目:57. The author believes that a single-sex school would ____ .
A) force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"
B) help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys
C) encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
D) naturally reinforce in boys the traditional image of a man
正確答案:C
即使原文中的信息大多不認識,但如果能發現選項的encourage對應原文的helped develop,選項中的express their emotions對應原文中的emotional expressiveness(詞匯同根),即使只找到這么兩處的語言對應,那么就找到了正確答案。
再以上文舉的例子來看:這道題目通過第三段的細節做題完全沒有問題。但是第三段讀不懂怎么辦?請看第一段。第一段就是文章的主題句,是第三段這個細節內容所支撐的主題。
文章第一句也是第一段,Boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.幾乎也與C選項C) encourage boys to express their emotions more freely一一對應。
找到第三段細節可以做題,找到細節支撐的主題同樣可以做題。
