The 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment(評(píng)估)(PISA) shows maths scores in the US getting lower and no improvement in science or reading. PISA tests 15yearolds from different countries and regions in their maths, science and reading skills. About 540,000 students from 72 countries and regions took part in the assessment in 2015. US scores in reading and science were about the same as three years ago, leaving Americans near the middle of the bigger group. But the situation in maths is much more worrying. The US average score was 470,below the OECD(經(jīng)合組織) test average of 490,meaning the US was among the 72 countries and areas. It was 12 points lower than in 2012 and 18 points lower than in 2009. So, what is going on with American students39。 maths skills? One reason may be that the US does not teach maths in enough depth. Students are often good at answering the first part of a problem in the United States, said Andreas Schleicher, director of education and skills at OECD. But as soon as students have to go deeper and answer the more plicated part of a problem, they have difficulties. In parison, many highperforming countries and regions in maths teach a lot less but focus in much greater depth, especially when you look at East Asia, Japan and Singapore, according to Schleicher. Another reason may be the fact that many people in the US are unwilling to travel to foreign countries to learn better teaching practices. One of our biggest challenges in the US is that the teachers are not going out and seeing what highperforming countries do differently, said Wendy Kopp, who started Teach for America ,in a news programme.（1）When it es to the 2015 PISA results, people in the US education are more concerned about . A.the US average scoreB.the differences from the previous PISAC.American students39。 performance in mathsD.American students39。 situation in science and reading skills（2）What can we learn from the passage? students are not interested in simple maths problems. students are unwilling to go abroad for further study. maths teachers envy highperforming countries better teaching skills. maths teachers seldom teach students how to solve plicated problems.（3）What is the main purpose of the passage? inform people of American students39。 2015 PISA results. analyse the causes of American students39。 problems with maths. stress the importance of learning maths well to America students. give American maths teachers some advice on how to teach maths.【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了2015年P(guān)ISA評(píng)估結(jié)果顯示美國(guó)學(xué)生的數(shù)學(xué)成績(jī)較之以前有明顯下降,進(jìn)而分兩方面闡述了造成這一結(jié)果的原因。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Recently, people in the US education have got extremely worried because a new report has shown that American students have a maths problem.”可知美國(guó)的教育界人士最近非常擔(dān)心的是美國(guó)學(xué)生在數(shù)學(xué)上的表現(xiàn),“a new report”指的正是下文的2015年的PISA,故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“One reason may be that the US does not teach maths in enough depth.”可知美國(guó)的數(shù)學(xué)教學(xué)深度不夠,導(dǎo)致；以及“But as soon as students have to go deeper and answer the more plicated part of a problem, they have difficulties.”美國(guó)學(xué)生在復(fù)雜問(wèn)題的求解上有很大的困難。故選D。 （3）考查主旨大意。由PISA評(píng)估引出問(wèn)題“…what is going on with American students’ maths skills?”,美國(guó)學(xué)生的數(shù)學(xué)技能怎么樣了?接著下文的兩段分別列出了“One reason…”和“Another reason…”,分析了美國(guó)學(xué)生在數(shù)學(xué)上出現(xiàn)問(wèn)題的原因,故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。2．閱讀理解 Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to build a bridge with things you know about, and then bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics. Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a milliondollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? Most of us believe that the universe makes sense, Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox (悖論) is open for future physicists to solve. When asked how physics could bee more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren39。t yet ready, perhaps, to learn maths. When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. The basic stuff is important, Greene said. But I think it39。s really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details. Greene has followed Albert Einstein39。s lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is not just a matter of solving problems in an exam. It39。s about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena (現(xiàn)象)—and having fun!（1）A milliondollar question is probably very . （2）The books by Weinberg and Susskind . boring to read mainly about maths popular science books only popular among kids（3）According to Paragraph 4,which of the following does Greene agree with? physics is a boring subject. plays an important role in studying. is not necessary to learn all about physics. is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang.（4）In the last paragra
