HARTLAND, Wis. (AP) — Lauren Panos was surprised when she walked into her ninth-grade English class in the fall and saw there were no boys.
Her parents had not told her they had enrolled her in a new all-girls class at Arrowhead High School in Hartland. Panos still isn't sold on the idea.
"All the girls there, they can talk out of turn," the 14-year-old said. "We are bored of tasks and it's really upsetting."
More public school systems are looking at separating boys and girls, whether for certain classes or by total schools, after the federal government opened the door last fall. Supporters say separating students by sex helps them learn better and allows boys and girls to explore subjects they may not otherwise take.
"Boys just make a bigger trouble in the class," Panos' classmate, Alyson Douglas, 15, said “I likes not worrying about boys causing disruptions.”
Presently, nationwide, at least 253 public schools offer single-sex classes and 51 schools are entirely single sex, according to the National Association for Single Sex Public Education. In1995, just three public schools offered single-sex classes.
Critics of same-sex classrooms argue that proven methods of improving education should be carried out instead of one that divides boys and girls.
"Too many schools feel they can carry out a social experiment with students' education with really the weakest of theories," said Emily Martin, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Women's Rights Project.
Single-sex schools are an "illusionary(錯覺的) silver bullet," said Lisa Maatz, director of public policy and government relations for the American Association of University Women. They distract(分散) from real problems and do not offer proven solutions such as lower class sizes and enough funding, she said.
"I would suggest that for many of our kids and families, especially in Milwaukee, it's a question of choice," Spence said. "We have a series of choices in Milwaukee and I just think this should be one additional choice."
66．What surprised Lauren Panos was that_______ when she walked into the class.
A．her classmates were all boys. B．her classmates were all girls.
C．the boys were all absent from class. D．she went into the wrong class.
67．From what Panos said we can learn that ______.
A．Panos thinks that the idea is very good for they can talk freely.
B．Panos doesn’t accept the fact that girls in her class have to finish many tasks.
C．Panos doesn’t like the idea that boys and girls are in separate classes.
D．Panos prefers to study in a class in which there are only boys.
68．The underlined word “disruptions” in the fifth paragraph most probably means ______.
A．trouble B．danger C．interest D．happiness
69．Critics don’t support the idea of single-sex schooling mainly because_______.
A．boys will cause more trouble and girls will hate studying.
B．single-sex schooling that is not a proven idea can leave out key problems
C．it doesn’t help students develop fully and healthily

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
WASHINGTON（AP）—Good news for dinosaur fans：There are probably a lot more of them waiting to be discovered．At least，their fossils are．
Peter Dodson of the University of Pennsylvania and Steve Wang of Swarthmore College estimate that 71 percent of all dinosaur genera（種類）—groups of dinosaur species—have yet to be discovered．
“It’s a safe bet that a child born today could expect a very fruitful career in dinosaur paleontology（古生物學），”Dodson said in a statement．
The estimate appears in Tuesday’s issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences．
Dodson—a professor of anatomy at Penn’s School of Veterinary Medicine and professor at Penn’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences—first estimated the potential number of dinosaur genera in 1990 and is revising that upward．
The estimates are based on the rates of discovery—about 10 to 20 annually—and the recent increase in finds of fossils in China，Mongolia and South America．
Dodson suggests that 1,850 genera will eventually be discovered．So far 527 genera have been found．
Fossilization itself is a rare event，they note，and as many as half of the dinosaur genera that ever existed may have left no remains．
“I would never suggest that this prediction．however statistically（統計上地）sound．is the final word on dinosaur diversity，“Dodson added．”My intention is to fuel the discussion using the facts at hand，and this is the best estimate we can make with the data available．”
56．The best title for the passage would be______________．
A．Much more dinosaur once lived on the earth
B．Good news for dinosaur fans

A．The number of dinosaur fans is getting larger and larger．
B．More dinosaur fossils are expected to be found in future．
C．The estimate was based on plenty of facts of dinosaur paleontology．
D．Not all the dinosaur genera left their fossils．
59．It can be inferred from the text that______________．
A．dinosaurs will return to the world once again
B．about 3700 dinosaur genera once lived on the earth
C．only half of the dinosaur fossils have been found so far
