13.Recently,people in US education have gotten extremely worried because a new report has shown that American students have a math problem.The 2015 Program for International Student Assessment(评估)(PISA) shows math scores in the US getting lower and no improvement in science or reading.PISA tests 15-year-olds from different countries and regions in their math,science and reading skills.About 540,000 students from 72 countries and regions took part in the assessment in 2015.
US scores in reading and science were about the same as three years ago,leaving Americans near the middle of the bigger group.But the situation in math is much more worrying.The US average score was 470,be;ow the OECD(经合组织)test average of 490,meaning the US was No.40 among the 72 countries and areas.It was 12 points lower than in 2012 and 18 points lower than in 2009.So,what is going on with American students'math skills?
One reason may be that the US does not teach math in enough depth."Students are often good at answering the first part of a problem in the United States,"said Andreas Schleicher,director of education and skills at OECD."But as soon as students have to go deeper and answer the more complicated part of a problem,they have difficulties."In comparison,many high-performing countries and regions in math teach a lot less but focus in much greater depth,especially when you look at East Asia,Japan and Singapore,according to Schleicher.
Another reason may be the fact that many people in the US are unwilling to travel to foreign countries to learn better teaching practices."One of our biggest challenges in the US is that the teachers are not going out and seeing what high-performing countries do differently,"said Wendy Kopp,who started Teach for America,in a news program.
24.When it comes to the 2015 PISA results,people in US education are more concerned aboutC.
A.the US average score
B.the differences from the previous PISA
C.American students'performance in math
D.American students'situation in science and reading skills
25.What can we learn from the passage?D
A.American students are not interested in simple math problems.
B.American students are unwilling to go abroad for further study.
C.American math teachers envy high-performing countries better teaching skills.
D.American math teachers seldom teach students how to solve complicated problems.
26.What is the main purpose of the passage?B
A.To inform people of American students'2015PISA results.
B.To analyze the causes of American students'problems with math.
C.To stress the importance of learning math well to America students.
D.To give American math teachers some advice on how to teach math.
分析 文章主要讲述了美国学生的数学成绩差的事实,以及就其原因进行了分析.
解答 24.C 细节题.根据文章内容,The 2015 Program for International Student Assessment(评估)(PISA) shows math scores in the US getting lower and no improvement in science or reading.当说到国际学生评估项目学生评估项目的时候,项目显示,美国学生的数学成绩变得更低,而且在自然或阅读方面没有进步.由此推断,他们比较担心数学成绩问题.故选C
25.D 推理题.根据文章内容,But as soon as students have to go deeper and answer the more complicated part of a problem,they have difficulties一旦学生需要解答更深层次的更复杂的问题时,他们就有很多困难了. the teachers are not going out and seeing what high-performing countries do differently,而美国的老师也没有去到数学教的好的国家学习,由此推断,老师没有教学生解决负责问题的技巧,因此导致他们不会解答难题.结合选项,故选D
26.B 写作目的题.根据文章内容,主要讲述了美国学生的数学成绩差的事实,以及就其原因进行了分析.结合选项,故选B
