Questions are based on the following passage.
Next month, New York students in grades three through eight will take the state"s standardized tests: three days of exams devoted to English Language Arts and Mathematics tests, except Art, Gym, Health, History and Science which are set up in the usual classes.These are often referred to as high- stakes tests because of the impact that the results can have on student promotion, teacher evaluation, and school funding——and the stakes of the tests in New York this year may be pushed higher still.
In his State of the State address, Governor Andrew Cuomo pledged to make education reform. a centerpiece (最重要的部分) of his agenda."Everyone will tell you, nationwide, the key to education reform. is a teacher evaluation system," the governor said.He noted that while only thirty-eight Percent of New York State high-school students are deemed to be "college ready", according to their scores on standardized tests, 98.7 percent of teachers in New York"s schools are rated "effective"." How can that be?The problem is clear and the solution is clear.We need real, accurate, fair teacher evaluations."" But how teachers might best be evaluated remains a contested science.In New York City.a system which was adopted by Cuomo in 2013 is that students" results in state tests account for 20% of a teacher"s rating, but the teacher"s curriculum materials are also evaluated, as is his or her classroom practice, which is observed on multiple visits throughout the year by the school principal.Any teacher deemed ineffective for two continuous years may be fired.
Cuomo"s assertion is not universally shared.Those who have disagreed with it warned excessive reliance on test scores will cause teaching for tests rather than for learning.Others have said teachers may focus on improving their most able students at the expense of nurturing the capacities of the least able members.
In the light of the widespread doubt about over-reliance on test results and the widespread consensus about the harmful effects caused by teaching for tests, that test results are used to assess teachers" effectiveness seems a questionable calculation.It looks likely, though, that.should Cuomo"s proposal come into effect, test-prep season will start a lot earlier next year.for everyone.
Why are the standardized tests considered as tests with high risk? 查看材料
A.Because the results can affect student promotion, teacher evaluation and school funding.
B.Because the results will determine whether the students will be able to graduate.
C.Because the exams will last for a really long time.
D.Because the exams are difficult and few students can pass them.
Let him correct his own papers.Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he can't find the way to right answer.Let's end all this nonsense of grades, exams, marks.Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them.The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one's life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours.Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don't worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

听力原文: Let children learn to evaluate their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things, for example, to walk, run, climb, ride a bicycle, they learn to do them without being told. They compare their performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him as If we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he became dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children, what this word means, what answer is to that problem, whether it is a good way to say or do this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let's end this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let's throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
