Parents can easily come down with an acute case of schizophrenia(精神分裂症)from reading the contradictory reports about the state of the public schools. One set of experts asserts that the schools are better than they have been for years. Others say that the schools are in terrible shape and are responsible for every national problem from urban poverty to the trade deficit
One group of experts looks primarily at such indicators as test scores, and they cheer what they see: all the indicators—reading scores, minimum competency test results, the scholastic aptitude test scores—are up, some by substantial margins. Students are required to take more academic courses— more mathematics and science, along with greater stress on basic skills, including knowledge of computers. More than 40 state legislatures have mandated such changes.
But in the eyes of another set of school reformers such changes are at best superficial and at worst counterproductive. These experts say that merely toughening requirements without either improving the quality of instruction or even more important, changing the way schools are organized and children are taught makes the schools worse rather than better. They challenge the nature of the tests, mostly multiple choice or true or false, by which children’s progress is measured; they charge that raising the test scores by drilling pupils to come up with the right answers does not improve knowledge, understanding and the capacity to think logically and independently. In adoption, these critics fear that the get-tough approach to school reform will cause more of the youngsters at the bottom to give up and drop out. This, they say, may improve national scores but drain even further the nation’s pool of educated people.
The way to cut through the confusion is to understand the different yardsticks used by different observers.
Compared with what schools used to be like "in the good old days", with lots of drill and uniform requirements, and the expectation that many youngsters who could not make it would drop out and find their way into unskilled jobs—by those yardsticks the schools have measurably improved in recent years.
But by the yardsticks of those experts who believe that the old school was deficient in teaching the skills needed in the modern world, today’s schools have not become better. These educators believe that rigid new mandates may actually have made the schools worse. [br] It can be inferred from the third paragraph that school reformers are convinced that _____.
选项
A、the way schools are organized and children are taught at present is good enough
B、enabling pupils to raise their test scores can improve their logical thinking
C、the present testing system can not measure either the students’ progress or actual ability
D、toughening requirements can help to produce more educated people
答案
C
解析
首先需了解school reformers对公共学校的教育现状不那么乐观,同时他们对立法机关制定的规章表示质疑,了解他们的这一态度后A、B、D都可以排除。根据第3段第3句中的“训练学生找到正确答案并以此提高考试成绩,并不能让学生增长知识、加强理解、提高他们的逻辑思维和独立思维能力”,可知C符合题意。
