2.Americans are thinking about national education standards recen1y developed by teachers and other education experts.The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) led the effort.The United States,unlike other nations,has never had the same school standards across the country.What is the reason?Education is not discussed in the Consti1ution.That document limits the responsibilities of the federa1government.Other responsibilities,like education,fall to each state.
Loca1control of education probably was a good idea two hundred years ago.Peop1e stayed in the same place and schools knew what students needed to learn.But today,people move to different cities.And some people work at jobs that did not exist even twenty years ago.
Many American educators say that getting a good education should not depend on where you live.They say that some states have lowered their standards in order to increase student sores on tests required by the No Child Left behind Act.
Kara Schlosser is communications director for the CCSSO.She says the new standards clearly state what a student should be able to do to be successful in college and work.
Forty--eight states have a1ready shown approval for the standards.Two states refuse to accept the idea.Critics(批评家) say that working toward the same standards in every state will not guarantee(保证) excellence for all.Some educators in Massachusetts say adopting the national standards wi11hurt their students because the state standards are even higher.Others say the change will be too costly,requiring new textbooks and different kinds of training for teachers.Still others fear federal control.
Supporters say the standards are goals and do not tell states or teachers how to teach.They also say the federal government is not forcing accep1ance.However,approving the standards will help states qua1ify(合格) for some federal grant money.
60.What would be the best title for the passage?B
A.Local Control of Education Standards out of Date
B.American National Education Standards under Consideration
C.Education Standards in Each State--Good or Bad.
D.Acceptance of the New Standards in the United States
61.Why is local control of education no 1onger a good idea today?C
A.Because local standards are limited.
B.Because it is required by the federal government.
C.Because people today moves among states more often than before.
D.Because America has never had the same school standards throughout the country.
62.Some people are against the nationa1education standards becauseC
A.the standards are higher than those of each state
B.they are not yet prepared for the new standards
C.the standards may prevent some students gaining excellence
D.they don't want the federal government to train their teachers
63.If a state agrees to accept the national standards,it will probab1y getD.
A.more students
B.advice on how to improve teaching
C.better textbooks
D.money from the federal government.
分析 本文主要介绍了美国人教育家们正在试图将教育标准统一起来,而有些州并不赞同.
解答 BCCD
60:B 考查主旨大意.本文主要介绍了美国人教育家们正在试图将教育标准统一起来,而有些州并不赞同,所以这个标准正在考虑中,故答案为B项.
61:C 考查细节理解.根据第三自然段中的But today,people move to different cities.And some people work at jobs that did not exist even twenty years ago可知,人们现在经常从一个城市搬到另一个城市,移居更频繁了,所以当地的教育控制已经不适用了,故C项内容正确.
62:C 考查细节理解.根据倒数第二自然段中的Critics say that working toward the same standards in every state will not guarantee excellence for all可知,这些标准可能会阻止一些学生获得优异的成绩,故答案为C项.
63:D 考查细节理解.最后一段However,approving the standards will help states qualify (取得资格) for some federal grant money可知,如果接受,将获得联邦政府的财政资金,故答案为D项.
