【正文】 1. For all the pious claim that examinations test what you know, it is mon knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. 【參考譯文】盡管所有那些虔誠(chéng)的說(shuō)法說(shuō)考試能測(cè)定你所知道的東西，但其結(jié)果常常是適得其反，這是眾所周之的常識(shí)。 2. As anxietymakers, examinations are second to none. 【結(jié)構(gòu)簡(jiǎn)析】 second to none 固定搭配，義：不亞于任何人或事物。 【參考譯文】（測(cè)）考試 作為憂慮的制造者，真是出類(lèi)拔萃。 3. induce cramming 誘人采用突擊式學(xué)習(xí)方式。 Cram 盡力塞入，應(yīng)試突擊學(xué)習(xí)。 EX: cram for a chemistry test. 中國(guó)最大的資料庫(kù)下載 9 為應(yīng)付化學(xué)考試而臨時(shí)抱佛腳。 Cram pupils 以填鴨式教學(xué)生。 4.

This is what it boils down to in the last analysis. 【參考譯文】這就是最終分析所歸納的一切。 寫(xiě)作方法與文章大意 這是一篇類(lèi)似分類(lèi)寫(xiě)作的文章。羅列了考試種種惡果。作者首先指出考試難以測(cè)定人的真正能力和水平，反而是適得其反。二是考試是憂慮的制造者，因?yàn)樗鼪Q定了人的成敗命運(yùn)。三是考試促使學(xué)校進(jìn)行應(yīng)試技巧教育，否定了教會(huì)人獨(dú)立思考、擴(kuò)大視野。四是教師或 者說(shuō)測(cè)試人又累又餓，犯錯(cuò)誤，還得在限定時(shí)間披閱成堆的試卷，他們的壓力和考試者一樣很大，而他們的話――分?jǐn)?shù)有份量，審判官的裁決，你有權(quán)上訴，而他們的裁決――一筆定終身。 最后引用“輟學(xué)者成為百萬(wàn)富翁”來(lái)點(diǎn)明測(cè)試這種形式對(duì)教育的壞影響。 答案詳解 1. A 考試對(duì)教育具有有害的影響。文章第一段就點(diǎn)明：考試是測(cè)試記憶的好方法，是測(cè)試在巨大壓力下快速工作的技巧的好方法，卻測(cè)不出一個(gè)人的真正能力和水平。第三段集中指出：考試不是促進(jìn)學(xué)生廣泛閱讀，反而限制其閱讀；考試不能使學(xué)生追求更多的知識(shí)，而是誘導(dǎo)學(xué)生進(jìn)行應(yīng)付考試的突擊 式學(xué)習(xí)。他們降低了教學(xué)水平，因?yàn)樗麄儎儕Z了老師的一切自由。常常以考試結(jié)果而不是所教課程來(lái)評(píng)定老師，是他們不得不以他們所輕視的考試技巧來(lái)培訓(xùn)學(xué)生。第二段和第四段也涉及其后果。 。這是考試后果的一個(gè)方面。 。這也是一個(gè)方面。 D.考試對(duì)學(xué)生是一種負(fù)擔(dān)。 2. C 批評(píng)的。第一段中作者明確指出，考試方法依舊，不能測(cè)出人的能力和水平。第二段點(diǎn)名，這種無(wú)用的考試決定人生的成敗。第三段說(shuō)考試最成功的考試者經(jīng)常不是最佳的受教育者，他們是在脅迫下最佳獲得考試技巧者，而好的教育應(yīng)能培養(yǎng)人的獨(dú)立思考。第 四段涉及閱卷者又累又餓，常犯錯(cuò)誤，不得不在限定時(shí)間披閱一大堆匆忙中七扭八歪寫(xiě)出的卷子。最后一句“我過(guò)去是一個(gè)是來(lái)歲的輟學(xué)者，現(xiàn)在我是一個(gè)年輕的百萬(wàn)富翁”畫(huà)龍點(diǎn)睛地指出，考試指揮下的教育的失敗。這一切都說(shuō)明作者對(duì)考試的批評(píng)態(tài)度。 ，厭惡。此答案從意義上說(shuō)是對(duì)的。但語(yǔ)法不通，因?yàn)檫@是個(gè)東西，而 is 后要求是名詞或形容詞。 。 。 3. C 考試。答案在第二段，考試是最終憂慮制造者，那是因?yàn)樵S多事情取決于考試：它們是我們社會(huì)中成功或失敗的標(biāo)志。你的未來(lái)可能全取決于這決定性的一天。 。 。 。 4. B 培養(yǎng)學(xué)生進(jìn)行獨(dú)立思考。第三段第一句話點(diǎn)明：好的教育應(yīng)該是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生自己獨(dú)立思考。 。教學(xué)生如何應(yīng)考。 。 。 5. B 作對(duì)比，答案在最后一段倒數(shù)第二句“審判官裁決后，你有權(quán)力上訴，而披閱考卷人給分后，學(xué)生可沒(méi)有上訴權(quán)”后面又談及“一想到考試只對(duì)進(jìn)行考試的機(jī)構(gòu)有禮，未免太自私了。這酒是最終分析歸納的東西?！彼宰髡吆粲?，可定還有許多更簡(jiǎn)便，更有效的評(píng)估人真正能力的方法。 。 。這是第三段講的 不分內(nèi)容，教師他們自己常由考試結(jié)果而不是所教課程優(yōu)劣來(lái)評(píng)定。所以他們不得不對(duì)學(xué)生進(jìn)行應(yīng)試技巧教育，降低教學(xué)水平。 。 Passage Five (Killing in the Name of God Ugandan Deaths Spotlight Rise of Cults) How could faith beget such evil? After hundreds of members of a Ugandan cult, the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God, died in what first appeared to be a suicidal fire in the village of Kanungu two weeks age, police found 153 bodies buried in a pound used by the cult in Buhunga, 25 miles away. When investigators searched the house of a cult leader in yet another village, they discovered 155 bodies, many buried under the concrete floor of the house. Then scores more were dug up at a cult member‘s home. Some had been poisoned。 others, oftenyoung children, strangled. By week‘s end, Ugandan police had counted 924 victims – including at least 530 who burned to death inside the sealed church – exceeding the 1978 Jonestown mass suicide and killings by followers of American cult leader Jim Jones that claimed 913 lives. Authorities believe two of the cult‘s leaders, Joseph Kibwetere, a 68yearold former Roman 中國(guó)最大的資料庫(kù)下載 10 Catholic catechism teacher who started the cult in 1987, and his ―prophetess, ‖ Credonia Mwerinde, by some accounts a former prostitute who claimed to speak for the Virgin Mary, may still be alive and on the run. The pair had predicted the world would end on Dec. 31, 1999. When that didn‘t happen, followers who demanded the return of their possessions, which they had to surrender on joining the cult, may have been systematically killed. The Ugandan carnage focuses attention on the proliferation of religious cults in East Africa‘s impoverished rural areas and city slums. According to the institute for the study of American religion, which researches cults and sects, there are now more than 5,000 indigenous churches in Africa, some with apocalyptic or revolutionary leanings. One such group is the Jerusalem Church of Christ in Nairobi‘s Kawangwara slums, led by Mary SnaidaAkatsa, or ―mommy‖ as she is known to her thousands of followers. She prophesies about the end of the world and accuses some members of being witches. One day the brought a ―special visitor‖ to church, an Indian Sikh man she claimed was Jesus, and told her followers to ―repent or pay the consequences.‖ Most experts say Africa‘s hardships push people to seek hope in religious cults. ―These groups thrive because of poverty,‖ says Charles Onyango Obbo, editor of the Monitor, an independent newspaper in Uganda, and a close observer of cults. ―People have no support, and they‘re susceptible to anyone who is able to tap into their insecurity.‖ Additionally, they say, AIDS, which has ravaged East Africa, may also breed a fatalism that helps apocalyptic notions take root. Some Africans turn to cults after rejecting mainstream Christian churches as ―Western‖ or ―nonAfrican.‖ Agnes Masitsa, 30, who used to attend a Catholic church before she joined the Jerusalem Church of Christ, says of Catholicism: ―It‘s dull.‖ Catholic icons. Yet, the Ugandan doomsday cult, like many of the sects, drew on features of Roman Catholicism, a strong force in the region. Catholic icons were prominent in its buildings, and some of its leaders were defrocked priests, such as Dominic Kataribabo, 32, who reportedly studied theology in the Los Angeles area in the mid1980s. He had told neighbors he was digging a pit in his house to install a refrigerator。 police have now recovered 81 bodies from under the floor and 74 from a field nearby. Police are unsure whether Kataribabo died in the church fire. Still, there is the question: How could so many killings have been carried out without drawing attention? Villagers were aware of Kibwetere‘s sect, whose followers municated mainly through sign language and apparently were apprehensive about violating any of the cult‘s mandments. There were suspicions. Ugandan president Yoweri Mseveni told the BBC that intelligence reports about the dangerou
