(1)Teachers in the United States earn less relative to national income than their counterparts in many industrialized countries, yet they spend far more hours in front of the classroom, according to a major new international study.
(2)The salary differentials are part of a pattern of relatively low public investment in education in the United States compared with other member nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD), a group in Paris that compiled the report. Total government spending on educational institutions in the United States slipped to 4.8 percent of gross domestic production in 1998, falling under the international average 5 percent-for the first time.
(3)"The whole economy has grown faster than the education systems," Andreas Schleicher, one of the report’s authors explained. "The economy has done very well, but teachers have not fully benefited."
(4)The report, due out today, is the sixth on education published since 1991 by the organization of 30 nations, founded in 1960, and now covering much of Europe, North America, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
(5)In addition to the teacher pay gap, the report shows the other countries have begun to catch up with the United States in higher education: college enrollment has grown by 20 percent since 1995 across the group, with one in four young people now earning degrees. For the first time, the United States college graduation rate, now at 33 percent, is not the world highest. Finland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Britain have surpassed it.
(6)The United States is also producing fewer mathematics and science graduates than most of the other member states. And, the report says, a college degree produces a greater boost in income here while the lack of a high school diploma imposes a bigger income penalty.
(7)"The number of graduates is increasing, but that stimulates even more of a demand—there is no end in sight," Mr. Schleicher said, "The demand for skill, clearly, is growing faster than the supply that is coming from schools and colleges."
(8)The report lists the salary for a high school teacher in the United States with 15 years experiences as $36,219, above the international average of $31,887 but behind seven other countries and less than 60 percent of Switzerland’s $62,052. Because teachers in the United States have a heavier classroom load, teaching almost a third more hours than their counterparts abroad, their salary per hour of actual teaching, $35, is less than the international average of $41(Denmark, Spain and Germany pay more than $50 per teaching hour, South Korea $77).
Which of the following figures about U.S. is above the international average?
选项
A、High school teachers’ income per hour.
B、Government investment on education.
C、High school teachers’ annual income.
D、High school graduation rate.
答案
C
解析
根据题干和各选项内容定位到最后一段。该段提到,一个有15年教龄的美国高中教师的薪水为36219美元,高于国际平均水平的31887美元。由此可见,C为正确答案。该段还指出,美国教师每小时的课酬为35美元,低于世界平均的41美元,故排除A;第2段中提到,美国教育方面的政府投人的比重下降为4.8%、低于世界平均的5%,故排除B;D未提及,故排除。
