higher in Beijing than in other provinces. How do you think can we someday eradicate the inequality?

1. Well, researchers link educational inequality to 回答C正确
A. socioeconomic, racial and educational reasons B. racial, economic and geographic reasons C. racial, socioeconomic and geographic reasons
2. According to the passage, 回答C正确
A. in the United States, skin color is linked to other forms of inequality, but not in education B. in the United States, skin color is only linked to the form of inequality in education C. in the United States, skin color is linked to the inequality in education
3. Educational inequality exists in 回答C正确 A. China only

4. What does the word “eradicate” mean in the passage? 回答A正确 A. get rid of B. cope with C. carry out
5. What's the attitude of Dr. Smith to the future of education equality? 回答B正确 A. reserved B. positive C. negative
答案:1.C 2.C 3. C 4. A 5. B
解析:
1. 从Well, researchers link educational inequality to socioeconomic, racial and geographic reasons.这句话可以看出,选项C是完全正确的。
2. For example, in the United States, although skin color is linked to other forms of inequality, it is evident in education. 这句话中,evident意思是“明显的”,所以我们可以分析出在美国肤色和教育的不平等有关系,而且此句还表示肤色与其他方面的不平等有关联,所以选C选项。
3. 根据Dr. Smith最后一段话里的Educational inequality has become one of the most important
political and social issues in every nation nowadays. 这一句,可以判断教育的不公平存在于每一个国家,所以正确选项是C。
4. 从Dr. Smith的回答中,我们可以了解到“每个国家都存在着教育不公平现象,而且解决这个问题是很难的”。 从这个回答,我们可以根据上下文猜出eradicate的意思。get rid of意思是“消除”,cope with是“处理,应付”,carry out意思是“实施”,set up是“建立”,所以选A。
5. 最后一段的主要意思是 “虽然每个国家都存在教育不公平现象,但是大家都在试图改革”, Dr. Smith对未来的教育公平还是持有积极的态度的。reserved意思是“保留的”,positive意思是“积极的”,negative意思的“消极的”,interested意思是“感兴趣的”,所以应该选B。

正误判断题
Liu Hui and Molly are discussing the issue of educational quality at a workshop.
Liu Hui: Hi, Molly. Today's topic is educational quality. First, what does educational quality mean to you?
Molly: As far as I'm concerned, quality education means good learning standards in educational institutions. So, educational quality ensures a desirable outcome for learners.
Liu Hui: Sounds like after some serious thinking. However, many definitions of quality in education exist, testifying to the complexity and multifaceted nature of the concept.
Molly: Definitely, establishing a contextualized understanding of quality means including relevant stakeholders. Key stakeholders often hold different views and meanings of educational quality.
Liu Hui: There are many prestigious universities in the US. They all provide high-quality education. But some universities aren't known for their quality. It's hard to imagine the gap.
Molly: Yes, in the US the quality in higher education is quite mixed. Universities like Harvard, Yale, MIT, etc., you know, are well-known all over the world. However, there are some institutions providing poor education, so called “diploma mills”.
Liu Hui: In China, we have similar issues in educational quality. Some universities pay more attention to profits instead of quality.
Molly: How to improve educational quality is an international issue. But, solutions are grounded in values, cultures and traditions and may be specific to a given nation as well.
1. Molly thinks that educational quality ensures a satisfactory outcome for learners.回答T正确
2. Liu Hui disagrees with Molly on the meaning of education quality.回答F正确
3. All universities in the U.S. offer high-quality education.回答F正确
4. Diploma mills cannot provide high-quality education.回答T正确
5. In China, there isn't any diploma mill.回答F正确
答案:1. T 2. F 3. F 4. T 5. F
解析:
1. 这是一道词义辨析题。在对话开始时,Molly回答到:So, educational quality ensures a desirable outcome for learners. 此句中的desirable表示“令人满意的”,satisfactory与该词意义一致,所以选T。
2. 这是一道推断题。听完Molly的回答,Liu Hui说:Sounds like after some serious thinking.这句话的意思是“听上去你是经过严肃思考的”。这表明了她的态度是肯定了Molly的回答,所以选F。
3. 这是一道推断题。首先可以看一下Molly对美国大学的看法:Universities like Harvard, Yale, MIT, etc., you know, are well-known all over the world. However, there are some institutions providing poor education, so called “diploma mills”. 因此推断美国大学的教育质量有好有坏。题目3与此意思不符,所以选F。
4. 此题为细节题。从However, there are some institutions providing poor education, so called “diploma mills.” 这句话可以看出,文凭工厂提供的教育很差,与题目4的意义一致,所以选T。
5. 这是一道判断题。Liu Hui说In China, we have similar issues in educational quality.该句意思是“中国教育质量也存在类似问题”。 前几题当中展示了美国大学参差不齐,既有著名大学,也有文凭工厂,这说明中国也是如此,因此可以判断题目5是错误的,所以选F。
