試題分析：本文敘述了美國(guó)采用新的評(píng)價(jià)模式來(lái)評(píng)估學(xué)生的表現(xiàn)，考試將不再是衡量學(xué)生的唯一指標(biāo)。美國(guó)中小學(xué)教育10%左右的開(kāi)支來(lái)自聯(lián)邦政府，而聯(lián)邦法律將這項(xiàng)開(kāi)支與學(xué)生表現(xiàn)聯(lián)系到一起，各州需要通過(guò)年度考試展示出教育進(jìn)展情況。但由于考試成績(jī)并不能完全顯示學(xué)術(shù)增長(zhǎng)，一個(gè)新的評(píng)估方法應(yīng)運(yùn)而生，考試分?jǐn)?shù)、家庭收入水平、學(xué)校規(guī)模，學(xué)生種族及許多其它的因素都被列入了評(píng)估范圍。

1.根據(jù)About ten percent of spending on primary and secondary education in the United States comes from the federal government. 美國(guó)中小學(xué)教育10%左右的開(kāi)支來(lái)自聯(lián)邦政府。故選C。

2.根據(jù)This new measurement tool is called the Colorado Growth Model. 這一新的衡量工具被稱為“科羅拉多增長(zhǎng)模型”。故選G。

3.根據(jù)The graph shows a school’s average score on standardized tests as well as its academic growth. 該圖表顯示了一所學(xué)校在標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化測(cè)試及學(xué)術(shù)增長(zhǎng)上的平均分?jǐn)?shù)，故選A。

4.根據(jù)On average, students enter sixth grade at WEST Denver Prep performing below grade level. 平均而言，西丹佛預(yù)備學(xué)校進(jìn)入六年級(jí)的學(xué)生的表現(xiàn)低于年級(jí)水平。故選E。

5.根據(jù)The new assessment method shows that, each year, the average West Denver Prep student learns more math than ninety-four percent of all the students in Colorado. 這種新的評(píng)價(jià)方法表明，每年西丹佛預(yù)備學(xué)校的學(xué)生平均比94%的科羅拉多州的學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)了更多的數(shù)學(xué)知識(shí)。故選B。

考點(diǎn)：信息匹配。

點(diǎn)評(píng)：做這題要理清句際間意義的關(guān)系。文章的內(nèi)容是根據(jù)各層各段的大意有機(jī)地組合而成，各個(gè)層次，各個(gè)段落之間不管怎樣錯(cuò)落有致，但它所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容都是要圍繞中心的，各句之間都有一定的語(yǔ)脈，從邏輯意義上來(lái)看，語(yǔ)段的句際關(guān)系可分為平列、順序、層遞、轉(zhuǎn)折、總分、解釋、因果等關(guān)系。構(gòu)成語(yǔ)段的各個(gè)句子之間有時(shí)可以包含一種以上的句際關(guān)系。因此，理解閱讀材料時(shí)一定要把握語(yǔ)脈，理清句際間的關(guān)系，進(jìn)而理解語(yǔ)段或全文的內(nèi)容。
