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.(请选一个答案)
2. Liu Hui disagrees with Molly on the meaning of education quality.(请选一个答案)
3. All universities in the U.S. offer high-quality education.(请选一个答案)
4. Diploma mills cannot provide high-quality education.(请选一个答案)
5. In China, there isn't any diploma mill.(请选一个答案)
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。

题目6 选择题
Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula(配方奶粉).
“Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, ” says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health.
Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby's health. This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who's breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby's IQ(智商)by a few points. But a recent study with siblings(兄弟姐妹)found little advantage to breast-feeding.
Horta says these previous studies didn't follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had
long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.
When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher. .
1. From the passage, we learn that Horta (请选一个答案) A. is from Brazil
B. conducts his research in the U.S. C. has 30 researchers on his team
2. Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned?(请选一个答案) A. They stayed longer in school B. They were happier C. They were smarter
3. Which of the following is TRUE?(请选一个答案)
A. Doctors don't understand the benefits of breast-feeding.
B. Horta is concerned with water contamination in poor countries. C. Horta's research project lasted about 30 years
4. The word contaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to (请选一个答案) .
A. finished B. interested C. polluted
5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?(请选一个答案)
A. Researchers Have Pointed Out the Disadvantages of Breast-feeding B. Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of Formula C. Breast-feeding Improves Chances of Success
参考答案:1~5 ABCCC 1.【答案】A
【考点】细节判断题 【详解】首先从题干中我们确定关键词Horta,然后从文章第二段中得知Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil可以判断出Horta来自Brazil(巴西)。故A为正确答案。 2. 【答案】B
【考点】细节推理题
【详解】 从题干上看,这是一个反向推理题,问的是NOT mentioned关于母乳喂养(breast-fed)文章中没有提到什么。从文章第一段研究结果显示,The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula.母乳喂养的孩子智力水平更高(选项C),受教育时间更长(选项A),收入更多。唯一没有提到的就是他们会更幸福(选项B)。故B为正确答案。
3. 【答案】C
【考点】细节推理题
【详解】A选项从第三段的第一句Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby's health. 可以得知也是错的。而B选项说Horta关注贫困国家的水污染问题,也是错的。而C选项说该研究项目持续了大约三十年,从文章第一段和第四段中he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s.得知,他的研究对象从出生,现在大约30岁左右了。可以推理出研究也进行了大约30年了。故C为正确答案。 4. 【答案】C 【考点】指代题
【详解】首先定位contaminated在第三段中的位置,然而看其前一句This is especially true in poor countries, 这种情况发生在贫穷的国家。而且从后面看出,用这种水冲奶粉喂养婴儿,在发展中国家(developing countries)婴儿死亡率较高。可以猜出这种水很可能是被污染了。即polluted(污染了的),故C为正确答案。 5. 【答案】C 【考点】主旨题
【详解】A选项是说研究人员指出了母乳喂养的缺点。显然不符合文章的中心思想,全文是说母乳喂养的优点。B选项是说研究人员发现了奶粉喂养的缺点。全文说的是母乳对婴儿成长的益处。C选项,母乳喂养提高了成功的机会,即智商高、受教育程度高、收入高。都是成功的标志。故C为正确答案。
