Numerous researchers have shown that when students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudes toward school, and that positive attitudes promote learning. It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom discussion and score lower than boys on SATs. We found that at all grade levels in all munities and in all subject areas boys controlled classroom munication. They participated in more interactions than girls did, and their participation became greater as the year went on. Our research contradicted the traditional assumption that girls control classroom munication in reading while boys in math. We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math and science, boys got more than their fair share of teacher attention. That teachers talk more to male students is simply because boys are more aggressive in grabbing their attention by calling out answers to the teachers39。 questions first. While girls sit patiently with their hands raised or keep silent. Psychologist Lisa Serbin and O39。Leary, then at the state university of New York at stony brook studied classroom interaction at preschool level and found that teachers gave boys more attention, praised them more often and were at least twice as likely to have extended conversations with them. Years of experience have shown that the best way to learn something is to do it yourself. It is also important to give students specific and direct feedback about the quality of their work and answers. Teachers behave differently depending on whether boys or girls are active to provide answers during discussions. During classroom discussion, teachers in our study reacted to boys answers with powerful, precise and effective responses, while they often gave girls mild and unclear reactions because of their silence. Too often, girls remain in the dark about the quality of their answers. Active students receiving precise feedback are more likely to achieve academically. And they are more likely to be boys. This kind of munication game is played at work, as well as at school. As reported in numerous studies, it goes like this. Men speak more often and frequently interrupt women. Listeners recall more from male speakers than from female speakers, even when both use a similar speaking style and cover the same content. Women participate less actively in conversation. They do more smiling and gazing, and they are more often the passive by standers in professional and social conversations among peers. Women often their own statements into unsure ments. This is acplished by using qualifiers and by adding tag question. These uncertain patterns weaken impact and signal a lack of power and influence. Only when girls are active and treated equally in the classroom will they be more likely to achieve equality in the workplace.（1）What does the authors mean when they say“Education is not a bystanders sport.”?

We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math and science, boys got more than their fair share of teacher attention.”可知，我們的研究違背了傳統(tǒng)的假設，即女孩在閱讀中控制課堂交流，而男孩在數學中控制課堂交流。我們發(fā)現，無論是語言藝術和英語，還是數學和科學，男孩在教師的注意力中所占的份額都超過了他們的平均水平。因此女孩在閱讀中控制課堂交流，而男孩在數學中控制課堂交流的說法是錯誤的。故選B。（3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第一段中的“Numerous researchers have shown that when students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudes toward school, and that positive attitudes promote learning.”可知，A項“學生們能夠積極參與課堂討論”是對的；根據第四段的“Years of experience have shown that the best way to learn something is to do it yourself. It is also important to give students specific and direct feedback about the quality of their work and answers. ”可知，多年的經驗表明，最好的學習方法是自己去做。給學生關于他們的工作和答案的質量的具體而直接的反饋也是很重要的。 故B、C都是有利的因素；而D項“學生們將自己的陳述轉化為不確定的評論 ”文章中沒有提到。故選D。【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 The French Danone pany is the latest to replace some plastic water bottles with aluminum (鋁) cans. Competitors like CocaCola, PepsiCo and Nestle have also started selling water in aluminum cans. Replacing plastic water bottles that pollute the seas with recyclable aluminum cans should be an easy way to help the environment, right?Maybe not. Aluminum cans might result in less ocean waste, and the metal containers also are lighter than glass or plastic bottles, but they also e with their own cost to the environment. The production of an aluminum can is estimated to release two times as much carbon dio
