Located in southern Anhui province in eastern China, Huangshan is known for its unique natural scenery, particularly sunrises and sea of clouds. To appreciate the magnificence of the mountain, you have to look upward in most cases; while to enjoy the fascinating landscape of Huangshan, you've got to look downward. The humid climate of the area offers favorable conditions for tea trees to grow, which makes the surrounding area of Huangshan one of the major producers of tea. The mountain is also home to numerous hot springs, which are helpful for preventing skin disease. As one of the top tourist destinations in China, Huangshan represents the most popular theme of photographic works and traditional Chinese paintings.

（此选段出自2018年6月四级听力真题）
Single-sex education can have enormous benefits for female students. Numerous studies have shown that women who attend single-sex schools tend to have stronger self-confidence, better study habits and more ambitious career goals than women who attend coeducational schools. Girls who graduate from single-sex schools are three times more likely to become engineers than those who attend coeducational schools. The reason is that all-girls schools encourage women to enter fields traditionally dominated by men such as science, technology and engineering. In coeducational schools, girls are often expected to succeed only in humanities or the art. Research has also shown that in coeducational settings, teachers are more likely to praise and give in-depth responses to boys'comments in class. In contrast, they might only respond to a girl's comments with a nod. They are also more likely to encourage boys to work through problems on their own, while they tend to step in and help girls who struggle with a problem. In an all girls setting, girls are more likely to speak up frequently and make significant contributions to class than in a coeducational setting. Girls studying in a single-sex setting also earn higher scores on their College Board and advanced placement exams than girls who study in coeducational settings. All girls schools tend to be smaller than coeducational schools, which means teachers would be able to tailor the materials to girl students' personal learning styles and interest.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Question 16 : What advantage does the speaker say girls from single-sex schools have over those from coeducational schools?
Question 17 : What do teachers tend to do in coeducational settings?
Question 18 : What are teachers more likely to do in an all-girls' school?
