Passage One
Testing has replaced teaching in most public schools. My own children's school week is focused on pretests, drills, tests, and retests. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to state proudly and openly that they teach to the state test.
Teaching 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 (评估) to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to reverse the process. First one looks at a test. Then one draws the skills needed not to master, say, reading, but to do well on 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 standard tests. However, neither reading 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 of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skills make this fundamental confusion because people are test obsessed rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught.
Recently many schools have faced with what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple terms, the phenomenon of students with grammar skills still being unable to understand what they read. These students are good at test taking, but they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They are taught to be so concerned with grade that they have no time or ease of mind to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary.

第三节 短文理解2
阅读下列短文,从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。
Being away from their families during the holidays is one of the hardest things for most soldiers stationed(驻扎) far away.
Serena Ravenell, 35, has been stationed in Texas and misses her family back home in South Carolina. "I have a 5-year-old son and a daughter who just turned 2 years old. All I can do is talk with them on the phone." Ravenell said.
Many soldiers are stationed in other countries, but even being not very far away in their own country can be heartbreaking. For their families left behind, the holidays can be a hard time.
"Right now my husband is Mr. Mom. He takes care of the children," Ravenell said.
In Ravenell's unit(部队), many women have children or are single mothers. Most of them have relatives(亲戚) taking care of their children while they are away.
"Leaving my little girl was hard. My husband has done a good job, but I think all children need their mothers for those early years," Ravenell said. "Leaving was something that I did not want to, but I knew I had to do."
During the holidays most soldiers ______.
A.miss their families very much
B.ask to go home to see their families
C.have the pleasure of staying with their families
My daughter has a headache and a fever. She appears______a cold.
A.to has caught
B.to catch
C.to have caught
D.to have been caught
Businessmen can travel from London to New York in three hours and lots of people exceed the seventy-mile-per-hour speed limit on motorways. A person of 75 is not old these days. A serious illness does not mean certain death because there have been so many advances in medical science. We no longer need to be afraid of contracting diseases like polio or smallpox. I can speak to my son in Australia from my own sitting room here in Manchester, watch athletes running a race on the other side of the world without moving from my own home and I can even do my shopping while I sit here in an armchair. I never need to worry about food going bad in the warm weather and, at the flick of a switch, I can have a hot meal in a couple of minutes. So, it seems, the quality of life has greatly improved since my own childhood.
I'm not convinced, however, that people are happier today than they were 50 years ago. We are certainly materially better off than we were but most people still seem to be weighed down by problems. My daughter and her family are a good illustration. They have a spacious, comfortable home with every labor-saving device you can think of. There's a washing machine, a clothes dryer, a food processor, a vacuum cleaner and all sorts of other household items which are designed to save time but it seems to me that my daughter and her husband just spend all that "saved" time working! They never relax and are always complaining of being tired and "stressed".
What is the passage mainly about?
A.How life has improved.
B.How life has become worse.
C.A comparison of life now and that in the past.
D.Memory of life in the past.
A./
B.such
C.that
D.as
