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.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。 Recently, people in the US education have got extremely worried because a new report has shown that American students have a maths problem. 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“The researchers suggest that these crocodile tears occur because a crocodilian hisses (發(fā)出嘶嘶聲)while it cats, and this hissing forces air through the spaces in the bone behind the nose and out the eye, in the process picking up nasolacrimal secretions”研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)這些鱷魚的眼淚是因為它們在進食時發(fā)出的嘶嘶聲，這種聲音迫使空氣通過鼻子背后的空間從眼睛出來，在這個過程中帶出了鼻內(nèi)管分泌物，可知，作者通過對“crocodile tears”這一詞條的來源、發(fā)展以及相關實驗來告訴讀者有關“crocodile tears”的真實含義。故選B。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。 however, this sadness is not honest.”是指假傷心，假慈悲。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“dating back several centuries”追溯到幾個世紀前；以及“As early as the fourth century, crocodile tears are referenced in the literature with the meaning of insincere sorrow.”早在公元4世紀，鱷魚的眼淚在文學作品中的意思是假慈悲，可推知， etymology 和一個詞條的來源和發(fā)展相關。In humans, crocodile tears is a medical condition that causes a person to tear up while eating.

However, the assumption of the crocodiletears metaphor may be true. In a 2007 paper published in BioScience titled Crocodile Tears: And they eat them weeping, researchers observed 7 crocodilians in cages during feeding time at a reserve (4 caimans and 3 American alligators). The researchers observed the crocodilians outside of water at feeding stations to better find out whether tearing developed. however, this sadness is not honest. （英語）高二英語閱讀理解(教育文化)解題技巧及經(jīng)典題型及練習題(含答案)一、高中英語閱讀理解教育文化類1．閱讀理解 The term crocodile tears refers to insincere sadness. This term has an etymology dating back several centuries. As early as the fourth century, crocodile tears are referenced in the literature with the meaning of insincere sorrow. It is said that crocodiles weep while eating their hunted animals because they are sad。The term crocodile tears became widely popular after it was documented in a fifteenthcentury book titled The Voyage and Travel of Sir John Mandeville, Knight. A passage from the book reads: These crocodiles kill men and they eat them weeping. Five of the 7 crocodilians developed something like tears in their eyes before, during or after feeding. The researchers suggest that these crocodile tears occur because a crocodilian hisses (發(fā)出嘶嘶聲) while it eats, and this hissing forces air through the spaces in the bone behind the nose and out the eye, in the process picking up nasolacrimal secretions (鼻淚管分泌物.) （1）考查詞義猜測。故選B。根據(jù)第一段中的“It is said that crocodiles weep while eating their hunted animals because they are sad。故選C。根據(jù)第四段中的“Five of the 7 crocodilians developed something like tears in their eyes before, during or after feeding.”7只鱷魚中，有5只在吃食之前，之中和之后流下了眼淚，可知，并非所有的鱷魚在吃食時都會流淚。 （4）考查主旨大意。故選A。2．閱讀理解 The 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment(評估)(PISA) shows maths scores in the US getting lower and no improvement in science or reading.
