A.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 maths skills? 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. 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. 高一英語閱讀理解(教育文化)試題經典含解析一、高中英語閱讀理解教育文化類1．閱讀理解 Recently, people in the US education have got extremely worried because a new report has shown that American students have a maths problem. 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。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. the US average scoreB.American students39。American students39。 2015 PISA results. analyse the causes of American students39。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。故選D。由PISA評估引出問題“…what is going on with American students’ maths skills?”,美國學生的數學技能怎么樣了?接著下文的兩段分別列出了“One reason…”和“Another reason…”,分析了美國學生在數學上出現(xiàn)問題的原因,故選B。2．閱讀理解 Chewing gum hit the market after Santa Anna brought a case of chicle(糖膠樹脂) from Mexico to New York.
