試題分析：本文敘述了美國采用新的評價模式來評估學生的表現(xiàn)，考試將不再是衡量學生的唯一指標。美國中小學教育10%左右的開支來自聯(lián)邦政府，而聯(lián)邦法律將這項開支與學生表現(xiàn)聯(lián)系到一起，各州需要通過年度考試展示出教育進展情況。但由于考試成績并不能完全顯示學術(shù)增長，一個新的評估方法應(yīng)運而生，考試分數(shù)、家庭收入水平、學校規(guī)模，學生種族及許多其它的因素都被列入了評估范圍。
小題1:根據(jù)About ten percent of spending on primary and secondary education in the United States comes from the federal government. 美國中小學教育10%左右的開支來自聯(lián)邦政府。故選C。
小題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“科羅拉多增長模型”。故選G。
小題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校在標準化測試及學術(shù)增長上的平均分數(shù)，故選A。
小題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)備學校進入六年級的學生的表現(xiàn)低于年級水平。故選E。
小題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. 這種新的評價方法表明，每年西丹佛預(yù)備學校的學生平均比94%的科羅拉多州的學生學習了更多的數(shù)學知識。故選B。
點評：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地組合而成，各個層次，各個段落之間不管怎樣錯落有致，但它所表達的內(nèi)容都是要圍繞中心的，各句之間都有一定的語脈，從邏輯意義上來看，語段的句際關(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)成語段的各個句子之間有時可以包含一種以上的句際關(guān)系。因此，理解閱讀材料時一定要把握語脈，理清句際間的關(guān)系，進而理解語段或全文的內(nèi)容。
