Section A

Directions:  In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.

A coeducational(男女合校的) school offers children nothing less than a tree version of society in miniature(缩影). Boys and girls are given the  47  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  48  ability, athletic achievement and many of the extracurricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical  49  it is (to give just a small example) 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! What nonsense coeducation makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girls or vice versa. When  50 , boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its  51  place.

     The greatest contribution of coeducation is  52  the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don\'t grow up believing that women are  53  creatures. Girls don\'t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes. Years of living together at school remove illusions of this kind. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and  54  problems involved in growing up. These can better be  55  in a coeducational environment. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to  56  society as well-adjusted adults. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problems that face men and women.
