In recent years, we’ve read a lot of articles about how we need better teachers in our public schools and, if the teachers’ unions went away, our kids【C1】______score like Singapore’s on the big international tests. There’s no question that a great teacher can make a huge difference in a student’s achievement, and we need to recruit, train and reward more such teachers.【C2】______here’s what some new studies are also showing: We need better parents. Parents more【C3】______on their children’s education can also make a huge difference in a student’s achievement.
How do we know? Every three years, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or O. E. C. D. , conducts exams as part of the Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, which tests 15-year-olds in the world’s leading industrialized nations on their reading【C4】______and ability to use what they’ve learned in math and science to solve real problems. America’s 15-year-olds have not been【C5】______themselves in the PISA exams compared with students in Singapore, Finland and Shanghai.
To better understand why some students【C6】______in the PISA tests while others do not, Andreas Schleicher, who【C7】______the exams for the O. E. C. D. , was encouraged by the O. E. C. D. countries to look【C8】______the classrooms. So starting in 2006, the PISA team went to the parents of 5,000 students and interviewed them "about how they raised their kids and then compared that with the test results". Two weeks ago, the PISA team published the main findings of its study:
Fifteen-year-old students whose parents read books【C9】______with them during their first year of primary school show markedly higher scores in PISA than students whose parents read with them infrequently or not at all.
Schleicher explained that "just asking your child how was their school day and showing【C10】______interest in their learning can have the same impact as hours of private tutoring. It is something every parent can do,【C11】______their education level or social background. "
These PISA findings were【C12】______in a recent study by the National School Boards Association’s Center for Public Education. "Monitoring homework; making sure children get to school; rewarding their efforts and【C13】______the idea of going to college. These parent actions are【C14】______to better attendance, grades, test scores, and preparation for college. " " The study found that getting parents【C15】______with their children’s learning at home is a more powerful【C16】______for achievement than parents attending school board meetings,【C17】______in classrooms, participating in fund【C18】______, and showing up at back-to-school nights. "
To be sure, there is no【C19】______for a good teacher. There is nothing more valuable than great classroom instruction. But let’s stop putting the whole burden【C20】______teachers. We also need better parents. Better parents can make every teacher more effective.
【C16】
选项
A、stimulus
B、motion
C、drive
D、force
答案
C
解析
四个选项都有“动力”的意思,填在空格处,整句话的意思是“家长在家关心孩子们的学习比家长去参加校董事会对孩子们的学习表现产生更大的促进作用”。[A]选项stimulus表示“刺激,促进”,后面往往接介词to,例如:The discovery of oil acted as a stimulus to industrial development.石油的发现促进了工业的发展。[B]选项表示“移动,动作”。例如:The object is no longer in motion.该物体已不处于运动状态。容易与motion搞混的一个词是motive,意思是“动机,目的”。[C]选项drive作名词表示“驱使,驱动力”。例如:Brian has got tremendous drive to succeed.布莱恩有强大的动力想要成功。[D]选项force表示“力量”,例如:The force of gravity pulls things towards the earth’s centre.地心吸力把物体吸向地心。[C]和[D]两个选项相比,[C]选项更为恰当。
