As school pupils enjoy the end of their summer holiday, few will expect a return to their harsh grading system in French. Termly reports in secondary schools record pupils’ marks to the nearest two decimal(小数的)points. Every child knows how they compare with the average. At school-leaving baccalaureate exam(中学毕业考试), a result of 16 out of 20 is considered outstanding. For younger children, a dictation to test spelling is marked by progressively deducting points for every error, which can crush the grade down to zero, or even into negative territory.
Benot Hamon, the education minister, thinks the system, at least for younger people, is too harsh. He argues that " in France we are defined by failure", and this begins with poor grades. He wants schools to "stimulate instead of discourage" and to give pupils more positive feedback. Mr. Hamon has launched a review of the national grading system. It is due to report early next year.
Mr. Hamon’s concern seems to be over the stress and anxiety that harsh grading imposes on French schoolchildren, and the lack of confidence that this generates in a country that is already excessively pessimistic. Fully 75% of the children say they worry about getting poor marks in maths, for example, according to a study by Paris-based OECD(经济合作与发展组织)think-tank—only just less than the figure of 78% in South Korea, and far above the 46% in Sweden.
Last year the education ministry reported on an experiment in middle schools, in which marks out of 20 were abandoned in favour of comments, or vague letter grades. Boys, the report noted, disliked a less competitive environment more than girls: stronger pupils disliked it more than weaker ones. But by creating less stress over failure, the report found, pupils were encouraged to take risks and participate in class, and often became more confident.
Curiously, it was parents rather than pupils who most resisted the absence of grades. They worried about over-protected children, and the difficulty of judging their progress. If Mr. Hamon is to get anywhere, he may find that his biggest obstacle is pushy parents. [br] The writer thinks that the grading system reform______.
选项
A、will face some resistance from worried parents
B、will be pushed forward by parents
C、wouldn’t go anywhere due to the opposition of parents
D、can’t overcome the obstacle from pushy parents
答案
A
解析
观点态度题。本题考查作者对评分制度改革的看法。根据该段最后一句可知,如果哈蒙先生要有所作为的话,他或许会发现,他最大的障碍就是不断施压的父母,由此推断,作者认为评分制度改革会面临来自父母的反对,故答案为A)。B)“将会被父母推行”与原文表述相反,故排除;C)“由于父母的反对将不会有任何成效”,是对改革结果的预测,原文并未提及,故排除;D)“不能克服来自父母的障碍”,是对原文最后一句的曲解,最大的障碍来自父母,不等于不能克服来自父母的障碍,故排除。
