17.A study of school design has discovered that school design can influence a child's development by as much as 25 percent-over the course of an academic year.The 751 pupils using 34 classrooms across seven primary schools in Blackpool were studied by the University of Salford.Standardized data-such as age,gender(性别) and academic performance-were collected on each child at the start and end of the year,while each classroom was evaluated for quality on ten different environmental factors,such as direction for natural light,shape,color and temperature.
The results,published in Building and the Environment,showed that the architecture and design of classrooms has an important role to play in influencing academic performance.Six of the environmental factors-color,choice,connection,complexity,flexibility and light-were clearly correlated with grade scores.
Architect Peter Barrett,the study's head author,said,"This is the first time a whole assessment has been made that successfully links the overall impact directly to learning rates in schools.The impact identified is in fact greater than we imagined."According to the results,once the differences between the"worst"and"best"designed classrooms in the study were taken into account,it was found that the influence that"best"designed classrooms bring is equivalent(相等的) to the progress that a typical pupil would be expected to make over a year.
The results are particularly interesting as the government has introduced a controversial series of standardized templates(模板) for new school buildings,with the purpose of reducing the costs of hiring architects.The opinion on a range of strictly-defined design features replaces the previous Labour government's more architecturally luxurious Building Schools for the Future program,which was canceled by education secretary Michael Gove.He has claimed that his department's new Priority School Building Program,and its basic plans,will put an end to a situation which he believes existed only to"make architects richer".
61.It can be inferred that the standardized dataB.
A.were based on ten environmental factors
B.were collected twice in an academic year
C.were collected by the University of Salford in person
D.were changeable because of the school environment
62.The underlined phrase"correlated with"has the closest meaning toA.
A.associated with
B.compared to
C.unconcerned with
D.based on
63.What did Peter Barrett think of the result of the study?B
A.It was not believable.
B.It was wonderful.
C.It was arguable.
D.It was against his expectations.
64.Why did Michael Gove cancel the program?D
A.Because the program didn't reach the standard.
B.Because standardized templates were not finally decided.
C.Because the program was made by the previous government.
D.Because it was against the government's demand for cost saving.
65.What's the best title for the passage?D
A.School Design Can Greatly Affect Teachers'Life
B.School Design Can Greatly Affect Teachers'Work
C.School Design Can Greatly Affect Children's Interest
D.School Design Can Greatly Affect Children's Grades.
分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们讲述了关于学校设计的一项新的研究发现,学校设计可以极大地影响孩子的学习成绩.
解答 61.B 细节理解题,根据第一段Standardized data-such as age,gender(性别) and academic performance-were collected on each child at the start and end of the year,while each classroom was evaluated for quality on ten different environmental factors,such as direction for natural light,shape,color and temperature.可知标准化的数据在每年开学时以及结束时被收集,一共是两次,故选B.
62.A 词义猜测题,根据第二段Six of the environmental factors-color,choice,connection,complexity,flexibility and light-were clearly correlated with grade scores.可知有六个环境因素与年级分数有关,故选A.
63.B 推理判断题,根据第三段Architect Peter Barrett,the study's head author,said,"This is the first time a whole assessment has been made that successfully links the overall impact directly to learning rates in schools.可知彼得认为这项研究的结果是美好的,故选B.
64.D 细节理解题,根据最后一段The opinion on a range of strictly-defined design features replaces the previous Labour government's more architecturally luxurious Building Schools for the Future program,which was canceled by education secretary Michael Gove.可知Michael Gove取消这个项目是因为它是与政府的节约成本的需求不符,故选D.
65.D 主旨大意题,通读全文可知本文主要讲述了学校设计可以极大地影响孩子的学习成绩,故选D.
点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
