9.In 2006,Sal Khan launched"Khan Academy"to provide YouTube teaching for his 12-year-old cousin who needed help with maths.The online school now provides more than 580 million online lessons in over 36languages.Last fall,Khan created a physical school in California.The Khan Lab School runs differently from traditional schools.There's no homework or grades,and students-ranging from ages five to 12-share the same classroom."It's only 150 years that we separated children by age in classrooms,"said Khan."The idea is that you can learn a lot from the students who are a little older than you and if you're 12 years old you could exercise a lot of leadership being a teacher assistant for the younger students."
The school also breaks up the students based on their"independence level,"rather than their age."Whatever independence level you're on-whether in math,reading or writing-you're on your own track,"he explained.
Another unique feature of the school is that it runs all day,all-year long.Khan said the problem with the current school schedule is that they do not have enough learning time."The gap between the U.S.and Shanghai test scores can be explained by time in the classroom,"Khan said."You have the summer learning loss,which is not only time that you're not learning when you could be,but also you're forgetting the things that you learned at the end of last year."
Now Khan Lab School enters its second year.Khan said he hopes to use the reach of the Khan Academy,which has more than 30 million users now,to send students and teachers in other schools information on how to create similar learning experiences in their classrooms.

分析 本文主要讲述了Sal Khan创办的网络教学课程以及其课程特色.
解答 8.B 细节题.第一段最后一句话提到"Last fall,Khan created a physical school in California.".由第二段开头可知,Sal Khan 建了一所名字叫 The Khan Lab School 的学校.其余三个选项均不是去年秋天发生的事.故正确答案为B.
9.C 细节题.根据第二段最后一句话"The idea is that you can learn a lot from the students who are a little older than for you if you're 12 years old you could exercise a lot of leadership being a teacher assistant for the younger students."可知,Khan Lab School 与其他学校的不同之处在于,它不按年龄将孩子分类,而是从5岁到12岁共同学习,A项错误.年龄小的孩子可以向大孩子学习,大孩子可以通过做小孩子的助教培养领导力,所以C项正确.孩子们并不是在这里学习当老师,B项错误.大孩子和小孩子学习的内容不同,不存在一方比另一方学得少,D项错误.故正确答案为C.
10.C 推断题.由文章第四段第三句话"The gap between the U.S.and Shanghai test scores can be explained by time in the classroom",成绩的差异主要取决于课堂学习的时间,由此可推断学习时间对考试成绩很重要,C项正确.A项,第四段提到暑假很多孩子不仅没有学新东西,还把学过的知识忘了,这是为了说明学习时间的重要性,并不是说夏季是学习最佳时间,A错误;B项,第四段第一句话说到这家学校与其他美国学校不同之处在于它全年运行,由此说明一般美国学校是有时间限制的,B错误;
D项,文中的在线学校创造了新模式,但多数美国学生还是以传统学校为主,D错误.故正确答案为C.
11.A 细节题.文中最后一段第二句话中,Khan 希望"send students and teachers in other schools information on how to create similar learning experiences in their classrooms",即分享他的学校的教学经验.D项,hire more teachers"招更多老师";B项,attract more students"吸引更多学生";C项,create more similar schools"建立更多类似学校",均不合文意.故正确答案为A.
点评 本文是社会文化类阅读理解.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.
