Question

5．Forty years ago，F(xiàn)inland was a small country with mediocre（普通）public schools．Today，F(xiàn)inland is still small but no one calls Finland's public schools mediocre any more．
In 2000，the Finns surprised the world when their 15-year-olds scored at the top of a closely watched international exam called the PISA．Finland has stayed near the top ever since，while the U．S．scores around the middle．
Pasi Sahlber g，an official with Finland's Ministry of Education and Culture，is in Seattle this week to share the story of Finland's success，and what states like Washington can learn from it．
Sahlberg's message，although he is too polite to put it so bluntly（坦率）：Stop testing so much，trust teachers more； give less homework； shorten the school day．
On Tuesday，in a room filled with teachers，principals，professors，school-board members and policy makers，Sahlberg joked about the Finns'reputation（名聲） for being a quiet，humble people．"When Finland hit the top of the PISA，"he said，"the biggest disbelievers were Finns．"
More seriously，F(xiàn)inland never set out to create the world's top school system．Instead，he said，the country deci ded in the 1970s that it wanted to ensure that a student's success didn't depend on family background．
"Finland relied on cooperation among teachers and schools，rather than on competition．Rather than judging teachers and schools based on test scores，"he said，"Finland puts trust in its teachers and principals．Teachers develop the curriculum in Finland，and design their own tests．There are no nat ional tests，except one at the end of high school．"
That's just the start．Along with a shorter school day，F(xiàn)innish students don't even start school until they are 7 years old．Many primary schools have a policy against giving homework．
"But Finland，"he said，"succeeded in part by adopting ideas from the U．S．a(chǎn)nd other countries．And those countries，"he said，"can learn from Finland，too．"

Answer 1

分析 40年前的芬蘭是個小國家，擁有平庸的公立學校；40年后，芬蘭依然是個小國家，但其公立學校不再平庸，是什么讓芬蘭的公立學校發(fā)生這么大的變化？

解答 D：32-35 CACB
32．C 寫作意圖題．根據(jù)第一段的"Today，F(xiàn)inland is still small but no one calls Finland's public schools mediocre any more．"并結(jié)合全文可知，作者主要講述芬蘭學校教育的成功做法，旨在和大家分享，故選C．
33．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段的"In 2000，the Finns surprised the world when their 15-year-olds scored at the top of a closely watched international exam called the PISA．"可知芬蘭的學生在國家比賽中的表現(xiàn)讓人們首次見識了芬蘭學校教育的成功，故選A．
34．C 細節(jié)理解題．第四段的"Stop testing so much，trust teachers more；"與a和b對應(yīng)；根據(jù)第六段可知c和d不正確；第八段的"Finnish students don't even start school until they are 7 years old．"與e對應(yīng)，c和d不是芬蘭學校教育成功的因素，故選C．
35．B 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第七段的"Finland relied on cooperation among teachers and schools，rather than on competition．Rather than judging teachers and schools based on test scores，"可推知教師間的競爭可能會對教育有害，所以芬蘭的教育依靠的是教師和學校之間的合作，故選B．

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項 （3）排除用于過于極端或負面的選項（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．
