Time for another global-competitiveness alert. In the Third International Mathematics and Science Study—which last year tested a half-million students in 41 countries—American eighth graders【C1】______below the world average in math. And that’s not even【C2】______part. Consider this as you try to【C3】______which countries will dominate the technology markets of the 21st century: the top 10 percent of America’s math students scored about the same as the average kid in the global【C4】______, Singapore.
It isn’t exactly a news flash these days【C5】______Americans score behind the curve on international tests. But educators say this study is【C6】______because it monitored variables both inside and outside the classroom. Laziness—the factor often【C7】______for Americans’ poor performance—is not the culprit here. American students【C8】______spend more time in class than pupils in Japan and Germany. 【C9】______, they get more homework and watch the same amount of TV. The problem, educators say, is not the kids but a curriculum that is too【C10】______. The study found that lessons for U. S. eighth graders contained topics mastered by seventh graders in other countries.
Teachers actually agree that Americans need to【C11】______their kids to more sophisticated math earlier. Unfortunately, experts say, the teachers don’t recognize that【C12】______these concepts are taught is as important as the concepts themselves. Most educators rely【C13】______on textbooks and rote learning (死记硬背). While many textbooks cover【C14】______ideas, most do so superficially,【C15】______students with the techniques but not the mastery of the broader principles.
【C4】
选项
A、village
B、leader
C、friend
D、country
答案
A
解析
空格所在部分大意是:名列前10%的美国学生的数学成绩与号称地球————新加坡的普通孩子的数学成绩大致相当。分析各个选项的意思,找出符合本句话的意思的项。A项village“村,乡村,村庄”;B项leader“领袖,领导者”;C项friend“朋友,友人”;D项country“国家;祖国;国土;故乡;乡村”。global village是固定搭配,意为“地球村”。因此本题选A。
