Let’s begin with this single-question examination:
What percentage of career-oriented high school seniors are proficient in reading? A few notes may be helpful as you prepare your answer.
"Career-oriented" students plan to work, attend a two-year technical or community college, enroll in a four-year college or university with an open admissions policy, or enter the military after high school graduation.
Last winter, the Southern Regional Education Board’s High Schools That Work initiative tested more than 50,000 "career-oriented" students. SREB’s reading exam is based on the National Assessment of Educational Progress(NAEP). Students who score at the "proficient" level can understand complicated written texts similar to what they study in high school. Proficient readers can analyze and integrate less-familiar materials into their studies and can react to and explain the entire text. They also can find, understand, summarize and explain relatively complicated information.
Now, do you have your answer ready?
The correct answer is 11 percent. Barely one-tenth of the students in the HSTW assessment read well enough to continue their education and to advance in an economy where they must process and understand new and often complex information.
The news gets worse. One-third of the students scored "below basic" in reading on the NAEP-based exam. For male students and African-American students, the results were even more dismal: Thirty-eight percent of male students and 46 percent of African-American students could not find and use information from manuals, textbooks and journals or could not seek and connect information from several sources to solve a problem.
The poor reading skills of these high school seniors are not a problem of genetics or ability. Rather, schools are failing to engage many students in completing challenging reading and writing assignments. In addition, state and local school boards do not demand that schools make "literacy for everyone" a top priority and do not provide the needed financial and program support. Schools can take a major step in closing the gap between their highest-performing and lowest-performing students by expecting the same effort from students who perform below basic as from proficient readers.
According to the article, which of the following is an example of a "career-oriented" high school senior?
选项
A、A student who decides to not finish high school.
B、A student who plans on joining the Army.
C、A student who works while in high school.
D、A student who is proficient in reading.
答案
B
解析
属事实细节题。根据第三段信息,“对职业发展感兴趣的”学生包括打算参军的学生。
