26、 one sportBIt was a late Wednesday night when the dreaded phone call reached our home. I sat up, so I could hear the phone call better. To my surprise I heard my mom burst into tears. Get the car Dean! Andrea has been in a car accident. We ran every stop sign on the way to the hospital and our tires

27、 screeched around every corner. We got to the hosipital,but were not allow to see Andrea.The next moring,after wearing masks,we were allowed to go to the ICU to see Andrea.Well ,the least I could say was that everything was injured in her bordy and she lost all of her memories . It was a fatal accid

28、ent. Over the next two months, I lived more at the hospital than I did at my house. I watched as Andrea worked so hard to gain back everyday motor skills. She never once complained or pitied herself, her determined spirit was shining through.After two weeks in the ICU and two months of the regular h

29、ospital treatment, Andrea was able to come home. She missed several months of school, so it was hard for her to catch up.

30、ime to love and play with me. Ill never forget the impact that this incident made on my life. I admire her strong-willed personality and her determined spirit.

Pretests, drills, tests, and retests fill my own childrens school week. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at th

35、e end of the chapter and then skim the text for the answers.

And teachers are often heard to state proudly and openly that they teach to the mandated state test.Te

36、aching to the test is a curious phenomenon. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some sensible methods of assessment (评价) to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to reverse the process. First one l

37、ooks at a test, which is intended for money. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught.The ability to read or write or calculate might imply the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither readi

38、ng nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparation for a test of a skill with the acquisition(习得) of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skill make this misunderstanding because people are only interested in the test rather than

A. her cleverness in test- takingB. the incompetence of teachersC. there is something wrong with the current practice in teachingD. the best way to read textbooks52. Which of the followin

42、g is TRUE according to the passage?A. The phenomenon of teaching to the test has aroused curiosity in many educators.B. Skills in general are not only useless but often mislead students.C. Ability to read and write is one thing, and ability to do well on standardized tests is quite another.D. Prepar

43、ation for test of a skill does not necessarily mean the acquisition of that skill.53. The author insists that .A. mandated state tests be replaced by some more sensible methods of assessmentB. teachers pay more attention to the nature and quality of what is taughtC. students not be concerned with gr

44、ades but do more reading and thinkingD. main changes be brought about in the general teaching54.We can safely conclude that_my cause educational problems.A.teching to the testB.standardized testsC.test-takingD.preparation for mandated state tests55.
