问题     No matter what you think about testing rends, one thing is clear: as long as there is teaching and learning, there will be testing. But how much credit do those charts and numbers deserve?
    When you review a school’s test scores at a school board meeting, always look beyond the basic numbers. The scores for a single school in a single year have limited value for judging school performance. Equally important is "trend data" — test scores from several years that show you how a school’s performance has changed over time. Additionally, comparing a school to other schools with similar demographics may give your perspective on where the school stands relative to other schools like it. You can also learn a lot from data that is broken down by ethnic group and socioeconomic level. A school is only truly successful when it achieves high performance with students across all ethnic and social groups.
    On the other hand, the next time you hear somebody say, "That school is the best in the district because it has the highest test scores," make a point to respond: "I’d love to know more about what’s happening at the school that accounts for those scores, but I can’t assume that it’s the best school just based on one piece of evidence. What you know about the school’s teaching methods, the leadership of the principal, or its climate of safety?" Take time to investigate these other measures of school quality before making judgments about a school.
    To communicate with your child certainly is the final way. Raise your hand if you’ve heard some stories about students begging to stay home on test day. Is this level of anxiety appropriate? The correct answer is no! When your child’s class is preparing for its annual standardized testing marathon, let your child know that while you hope she does her best on the test, it’s not a competition. Explain that the results may help her and her teacher understand the areas where she might be especially strong or where she may need to focus more.
The second paragraph implies that when you review a school’s test scores______.
选项 A、you should give priority to the stores for this year
B、you should take into an account the performance of the students across all ethnic and social groups
C、you needn’t refer to the test scores in the past several years
D、you don’t need to compare a school with others since you are only concerned about your children’s scores
答案B
解析 细节推理题。原文第二段尾句中的all ethnic and social groups与选项B重现，only trulysuccessful与选项B中的take into an account对应。故答案为B。选项A没有提及；选项C与原文第二段第三句中的“trend data”一test scores from several years矛盾；选项D与原文第二段第四句中的comparing a school to other schools矛盾。
