(1)Testing has replaced teaching in most public schools. My own children’s school week is framed by pretests, drills, tests, and retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then skim the text for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to state proudly and openly that they teach to the mandated state test.
(2)Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some sensible methods of assessment to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to reverse the process. First one looks at a commercially available test. Then on distills the skills needed not to master reading, say, or math, but to do well on the test. Finally, the test skills are taught.
(3)The ability to read or write or calculate might imply the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparation for a test of a skill with the acquisition of that skill. Too many discussions of basic of skills make this fundamental confusion because people are test-obsessed rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught.
(4)Recently, many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple terms, the phenomenon of students with phonic and grammar skills still being unable to understand what they read. These students are competent at test taking and filling in workbooks and ditto masters. However, they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but can’t see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with grade that they have no time or ease of mind to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary.
What do teachers think about teaching to the mandated state test?
选项
A、It is commonly recognized.
B、It is curiously controversial.
C、It has been exceptionally effective.
D、It has been inadequately developed
答案
A
解析
第1段末句中的openly和proudly表明教师普遍接受应试教育的模式,由此可见,A为本题答案。B中的curiously与第2段首句中的curious为同族词,但第2段首句是作者的观点,而且B中的controversial没有原文依据,教师对应试教育的看法比较一致,不存在争议,因此B不正确;原文除了第1段末句指出教师对应试教育模式的看法外,其他都是作者的观点,因此,C和D均无原文依据。
