题目内容
5.Maggiano is an award-winning teacher in the Social Studies Department at West Springfield High School in Virginia.He has taught in public and private schools for 25years.In a piece on his blog called"The Classroom Post,"he calls for more males to enter the profession(职业).Men Teach,a non-profit organization that encourages men to enter teaching,reports that in 2008,18.8% of all elementary and middle school teachers were men.At the high school level during the same year,men comprised(构成) 44% of the work force.
Why are there so few men in teaching?Men Teach says low pay and lack of prestige(声望),as well as a perception in our culture that teaching is for women.As a result,there is no organized effort across the country to attract men into the teaching profession.
A study in 2008by the National Education Association showed that the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low.Males comprised 24.5percent of public schoolteachers.States with high percentages:Kansas (33.6percent),Oregon (31.6percent),Alaska (30.9percent) and Indiana (30.5percent).States with the lowest percentage:Arkansas (16.2percent),Virginia (17.4percent),Mississippi (17.5percent),Louisiana (18percent),South Carolina (18.5percent) and Georgia (19.7percent).
There is no definitive(确定) research that male students--or female students,for that matter--learn better from a particular sex.
But as Maggiano put it,"Kids today,both boys and girls,must have the same opportunity to learn from outstanding,devoted men that I did.However,I have heard little discussion about this problem coming from our national leaders.

解答 45---48 CBDA
45.C 推理判断题.根据第三段中的"low pay and lack of prestige(声望),as well as a perception in our culture that teaching is for women.As a result,there is no organized effort across the country to attract men into the teaching profession"可知,不高的薪水、缺少社会声望、人们传统的观念--认为教育是女性从事的职业,没有强大的组织力量来吸引男性同胞从事教育行业,即男性对教育行业不感兴趣,故选C.
46.B 推理判断题.根据第五段中的"There is no definitive(确定) research that male students--or female students,for that matter--learn better from a particular sex"可知,还没有确定的研究表明到底是哪个特定的性别更有利于学生更好的学习,故选B.
47.D 细节理解题.根据第四段中的"States with the lowest percentage:Arkansas (16.2percent),Virginia (17.4percent),Mississippi (17.5percent),Louisiana (18percent),South Carolina (18.5percent) and Georgia (19.7percent)"可知,在Arkansas (16.2percent),男性从事教育的排名是最低的,故选D.
48.A 推理判断题.根据最后一段中"However,I have heard little discussion about this problem coming from our national leaders."可知,政府主管部门应该更加关注男性教师缺乏的问题,故选A.
点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.
