题目内容
Many studies have shown that students learn in different ways and that good results can be achieved if they are taught by a teaching method that suits them best. Similarly,students’ performance varies in what types of test they are given. Therefore,it may seem reasonable to give students the chance to choose how they wish to be tested. However,this would mean teachers would be forced to prepare many different methods of assessment for the exact same material. Teachers are already very busy,creating tests,grading,coming up with interesting lesson plans,teaching classes,not to mention holding parent teacher conferences,and creating new tests would only add to their burden.
Another strain teachers would have to face is how to grade fairly and objectively if students were tested on the same material in a variety of ways. For instance,how do you compare a student who wrote an essay on one small topic of a book to another who answered every multiple choice question correctly over the entire book? Maybe the student who wrote the essay only read a small part of it in depth enough so that they could write the essay. But perhaps the student taking the multiple choice test only had a base understanding of the book and couldn’t write a critical essay about something in it.
This is not to say,however,that students should be graded in the same manner every time. This would be equally unfair as again,different students test better when assessed by different methods. Therefore,teachers need to be sure to give essay tests,multiple choice tests,as well as other multi-media(多媒体) projects to assess their students,just not over the same material. This gives students the opportunity to show off their abilities and make up for tasks that they’ re not good at. For instance,a student that is a bad test taker could make up for their grade with a well-performed project. Another option is to provide students with extra credit opportunities. As such,students could be allowed to choose the method in which they wish to complete their extra credit. If a student is a strong essay writer,they could write an extra essay to make up for their poor test grade. This would allow students to compensate for poor grades in areas in which they aren’ t as accomplished.

本文是议论文.不同的学生所擅长的考试方 式不尽相同,那么是否应该让学生自己选择考试方 式呢2作者对此问题展开讨论。
28. A.细节理解题。根据第一段中的this would mean teachers would be forced to prepare many different methods of assessment for the exact same material 及 creating new tests would only add to their burden可知,如東让学生自己选择考 试方式,那么意味着老师要对同样的考试内容 设计不同的考试方式,工作量必然加大。
29. B.词义猜测题。根据划线词后的howtograde fairly and objectively if students were tested on the same material in a variety of ways 可知,如果 让学生自己选择考试方式的话,如何公正客观 地评价是老师面临的另一个“困难”。
30. B.写作目的题。根据最后一段中的Teachers need to be sure to give essay tests ...以及 Another option is to provide students with extra credit opportunities可知,本段主要对“让学生自 己选择考试方式”如何操作提出了两点建议。
31. D.文章出处题。通读全文可知,本文主要围绕 “让学生自己选择考试方式”展开讨论,属于教 育的范畴。故选D项。
