Imagine being asked to spend 12 or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of your own sex. How would you react? Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children—conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up with for one minute!
Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuffing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. One of the chief aims of education is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society. 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 coeducational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other and 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 in many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical advantage 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 segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart.
Rivalry
between the sexes is fostered. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place.
But perhaps the greatest contribution of coeducation is the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don’t grow up believing that women are mysterious creatures—airy goddesses, more like fairy tale book illustrations, than human beings. Girls don’t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes. Years of living together at school dispel illusions of this kind. There are no goddesses with freckles, pigtails, piercing voices and inky fingers. There are no romantic heroes with knobby knees, dirty fingernails and unkempt hair. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and emotional problems involved in growing up. These can more easily be overcome in a coeducational environment. Segregated schools sometimes provide the right conditions for sexual deviation. This is hardly possible under a coeducational system. 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. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
选项
A、only coeducation can bring harmony to society
B、people begin to realize the importance of coeducation
C、coeducation is superior to segregated education
D、coeducation has many features
答案
C
解析
第一、二段着重指出单一性别学校的弊端,而第三、四段指出男女混合学校的好处,在文章倒数第四、三句更是直接对比两者:男女分开的学校有时反而为性别观念的偏差提供了条件,而在男女同校的制度下,这种情况几乎不会发生。故可判断,作者认为男女混校的教育体制比男女分开的好,故C“混合教育体制优于单一性别教育体制”正确。A“只有混合学校能够促进社会和谐”,表述过于绝对,并且作者也没有提到男女同校和社会和谐之间的关系。B“人们开始意识到混合学校的重要性”,文中没有提及社会对两种教育体制的看法。D“男女混校有许多特征”是宽泛的表述,根本不用从文章推断出来。
