So it is hardly surprising that boys are now far more likely（可能的） than girls to go to universities.Eclipsed (黯然失色)Mary Curnock Cook, a leader of the University, is so worried about the future of boys that she wants to see a national effort to solve the problem. If this difference goes on growing, girls born this year will be 75% more likely to go to university than boys.So what is at the root of this gap（差距）? Are there changes in the nature of universities which have led to the dominance of girls on campus? Are girls simply better at schoolwork these days, and boys less interested?By the time teenagers get to their high school, the number of girls is bigger. So before they sit a single exam, there are probably more girls than boys who are likely to go to university.Waste of time?The average grade for a girl is C+ compared to C for a boy at A-level examinations. But the differences between boys and girls start much earlier on.According to a University of Bristol study, boys are nearly twice as likely as girls to have fallen behind by the time they start school. Primary schools often have more female teachers, and mothers helping out.According to the study, girls and boys often have different attitudes towards schoolwork. The report says: Boys are more likely than girls to regard school as a waste of time. Whats more, boys tend（倾向） to spend over one hour less per week on homework than girls. They are more likely to play computer games and less likely to read outside of school.There are a lot of boys thinking they can get away with the least work and wanting to spend their time doing other more interesting things, says Roger Leighton, the former head teacher of Sydney Russell School. Girls, on the other hand, tend to understand the need to work hard earlier on - they take a longer view.（1）Mary Curnock Cook wants to _. A . find out the cause for the differenceB . find out the number of girls on campusC . see boys work harder than they used toD . see people work together on the problem（2）The underlined word dominance in Paragraph 4 probably refer to _. A . achievement in schoolworkB . position of advantageC . progress in subjectsD . control of attention（3）What can we learn from the passage? A . Boy do better at some levels of education.B . There are changes in the nature of universities.C . Girls spend more time on schoolwork than boys.D . Boys and girls perform similarly in primary school.（4）Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage? A . Which is more attractive to students?B . What do girls understand better than boys?C . Why do more girls than boys go to university?D . Who is more likely to do a better job in universities?21. （6分） If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”.Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice.In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for their apples.Finally, when its time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.（1）What does the underlined phrase “apple polisher” mean?A . Something for cutting apples.B . A person who likes to please others.C . A person who is dealing with fruits.D . A machine for cleaning apples quickly.（2）Which of the following is TRUE with apples?A . Apples are medicine.B . Apples are the most important food.C . New York is famous for its big apples.D . The Bible says Adam was given an apple.（3）The passage is mainly about.A . stories about the appleB . apples in American cultureC . some famous sayings of the appleD . big cities that is famous for apples五、 语法填空。 (共1题；共1分)22. （1分）Aunt Judy lives on the _ floor of this building.
