Question

【题目】

Chinese students are thought to be hard workers who put great effort into their studies. How well do they perform on tests on a world level? The 2018 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA国际学生能力评估项目) found that 15-year-olds in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang ranked(排列) No 1 in reading, science and math. They got the highest rating(等级) — Level 4.

The PISA is carried out every three years by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This year, it tested around 600,000 students in 79 countries and regions.

Students from Singapore came in second place in reading. Students from Macao ranked third in all three categories (类别). Students from the United States ranked Level 3 for reading and science and Level 2 for math.

Chinese mainland students first took part in the PISA in 2009, when students from Shanghai ranked on top. The city's students got the top spot again in 2012.

The PISA rankings have raised global(全球的) interest in Chinese teaching methods. The UK ranked 26th in math in the 2012 PISA. Teachers there are starting to use Chinese math-teaching methods. Around 5,000 of Britain's 16,000 primary schools have used the Shanghai math-teaching method, China Daily reported.

Britain translated math textbooks from Chinese schools and published them in 2017. Every year since 2014, groups of British and Chinese teachers have visited each other's schools to share teaching tips and discuss methods.

The new teaching methods have allowed younger students to learn basic knowledge in a more solid (坚实的) way that makes sure they understand more complex content (复杂的内容) when they are older, noted Carol Knights from Britain's National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Math.

Both China and the UK have benefited (获益) from each other. “We've benefited from working with Chinese partners due to(归咎于) the very high quality of lesson planning and teaching for memorization in China. Our Chinese partners have benefited from our methods of the development of character, focus on innovation (创新) and application (应用) of knowledge," Philip Avery, from the Bohunt Education Trust, said to China Daily.

【解析】

本文主要介绍了在2018年的PISA国际学生评估项目中发现，来自北京、上海、江苏和浙江的15岁的学生，在阅读、科学和数学方面排名第一，取得了很好的成绩。其他国家也对中国的数学教学方法更加注意，英国翻译并出版了中国学校的数学教材，中英两国的教师团队每年都会访问彼此的学校，分享教学技巧，讨论教学方法。通过这种方式，双方都收获了很多。

【1】细节理解题。根据“The 2018 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA国际学生能力评估项目) found that 15-year-olds in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang ranked(排列) No 1 in reading, science and math.”在2018年的PISA国际学生评估项目中发现，来自北京、上海、江苏和浙江的15岁的学生，在阅读、科学和数学方面排名第一。可知来自大陆的学生在2018年的PISA国际学生能力评估项目中表现很好。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据“The PISA is carried out every three years by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This year, it tested around 600,000 students in 79 countries and regions.” PISA由经济合作与发展组织(OECD)每三年举办一次。今年，它对79个国家和地区的约60万名学生进行了测试。It tests students from different places. 它测试来自不同地方的学生。A项符合句意。It is carried out every year.它每年都会举行。根据句意可知，PISA每三年举办一次，故B项不符合题意。It is held by the United Nations.它由联合国组织。根据句意可知，它由OECD组织，故C项不符合题意；Its tests cover students in all countries.它的检测覆盖所有的国家。根据句意可知，它测试79个国家和地区，故D项不符合题意。故选A。

【3】细节理解题。根据“Students from Singapore came in second place in reading. Students from Macao ranked third in all three categories (类别). Students from the United States ranked Level 3 for reading and science and Level 2 for math.”来自新加坡的学生在阅读方面排名第二。来自澳门的学生在所有三个类别排名第三。来自美国的学生在阅读和科学方面排名第三，在数学方面排名第二。Students from Macao ranked second in reading.澳门学生的阅读排名第二。 Students from the US are better at math than reading.美国学生的数学比阅读好。15-year-old students from Beijing ranked highest in reading.来自北京的15岁学生在阅读方面排名最高。Students from Shanghai were the best math learners in 2018. 2018年，上海学生是数学学习最好的学生。故B项符合题意。故选B。

【4】推理判断题。根据“Britain translated math textbooks from Chinese schools and published them in 2017. Every year since 2014, groups of British and Chinese teachers have visited each other's schools to share teaching tips and discuss methods.”英国翻译了中国学校的数学教材，并于2017年出版。自2014年以来，中英两国的教师团队每年都会访问彼此的学校，分享教学技巧，讨论教学方法。推测可知英国将中国学校的数学课本翻译成英文版是因为想要学习中国学校如何教数学。故选A。

【5】推理判断题。根据“The new teaching methods have allowed younger students to learn basic knowledge in a more solid (坚实的) way that makes sure they understand more complex content (复杂的内容) when they are older, noted Carol Knights from Britain's National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Math.”这种新教学方法让小一些的学生用一种更踏实的方法学习基础知识，确保他们在长大后能够理解更复杂的内容，这些被来自英国国家数学教学卓越中心卡罗骑士注意到。”可以推断新的教学方法可以帮助学生学习，所以更多的学生会关注教学方法。故选A。
