The documentary, titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough? focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire. The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are pared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance. The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems, with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy. This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning (死記硬背) instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching. Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students39。 interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply 39。transplanted39。 into another place. Yang Dongping says, The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel prize winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair ment on this issue. He said the Chinesestyle education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for highpotential outstanding students.（1）Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens? test the intelligence of the UK teens. help the school improve their teaching efficiency. do some practical research into the UK education system. test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.（2）What39。s the meaning of the underlined word harsh in the fourth paragraph? strict friendly cold attractive（3）According to Yang Dongping Chinese teaching methods ______. all countries be improved the best in the world not as good as British methods【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，一部關(guān)于教學(xué)方法的紀(jì)錄片在中英兩國引起了不小的關(guān)注——五名中國老師被派去教英國學(xué)生，結(jié)果學(xué)生很不適應(yīng)，這說明教學(xué)方法是以文化為基礎(chǔ)的，在一個國家取得成功的教學(xué)方法在另一個國家不一定奏效。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.”這個想法是為了看看中國的方法是否能提高學(xué)習(xí)成績，可知，五名中國老師被派去教英國學(xué)生是為了檢驗(yàn)中國教學(xué)方法的成效。故選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第四段中的“with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.”中國老師稱他們的學(xué)生懶惰和缺乏紀(jì)律，而學(xué)生則說壓力太大和嚴(yán)厲的老師讓他們發(fā)狂。由此可知，劃線詞意為“嚴(yán)厲的”。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students39。 interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture.”可知，楊東平認(rèn)為，中國的教學(xué)方法側(cè)重于嚴(yán)格要求，而英國的教學(xué)方法更為自然和輕松，旨在激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣，教學(xué)方法是以文化為基礎(chǔ)的。由此可知，楊東平認(rèn)為中國的教學(xué)方法有待改進(jìn)。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 In colleges around the country, most students are also workers. The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too. This isn39。t a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and onefifth of students work year round. About onequarter of those who work while attending school have both a fullcourse load and a fulltime job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (學(xué)費(fèi)) and living costs, obviously. And there39。s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with alreadydeveloped skill sets, onthejob training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on. But it39。s not all upside. Even fulltime work may not pletely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a fulltime job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they39。re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes. There is little reward for attending but not finishing college Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn39。t gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle tha
