Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. (30 points) Passage 1 One of the chief functions of education is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society. Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock. A co-educational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature (缩影). Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extracurricular (课外的) activities which are part of school life. What a practical advantage it is to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! But perhaps the greatest contribution of co-education is the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don’t grow up believing that women are mysterious creatures—airy (空想的) goddesses, more like book-illustrations to a fairy tale, than human beings. Girls don’t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes. Years of living together at school dismiss such illusions. The awkward stage of adolescence (青春期) brings into sharp focus some of the physical and emotional problems involved in growing up. These can better be overcome in a co-educational environment. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to enter society as well-adjusted adults. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problems that face men and women. 81. What is the best title for this passage? A. Co-education Can Be in Harmony with Society. B. People Are in Great Need of Co-education. C. Any Form of Education Other Than Co-education Is Simply Unthinkable. D. Co-education Has Many Features. 82. What does co-education offer to children? A. A society. B. A true small model of society. C. A real life. D. True version of social condition. 83. What does the word “segregated” (Para. 1) probably mean? A. Closed. B. Separated by race. C. All boys or all girls. D. Isolated. 84. According to the passage, what is one of the chief aims of education? A. It is for students to acquire knowledge. B. It is to equip future citizens with the necessary skills to use scientific technology. C. It is to equip future citizens with what is required to relate well to others in society. D. It is to allow students to perform well academically. 85. Why don’t boys and girls in co-education have illusions about each other? A. They live together and know each other too well. B. Years of living together at school dismiss such illusions. C. Co-education encourages them to have a healthy attitude towards life. D. They are familiar with each other’s problems.
