知识点解析：节能是当前备受关注的一个话题，因此可说的内容很多，紧紧围绕

提纲要求进行阐述是本文的鲜明特点。文章首段直截了当地提出能源短缺这样一个

话题，中间段概括说明节能是解决能源短缺问题的重要措施之一，运用并列型扩展

法介绍了几种节能措施。末尾段重中主题，再次强调问题的紧迫性和严重性。本

文词语和句型运用自如。如第二段的列举法虽然没有使用first,second等词语，但

使用了Also,Stillmore,使整个段落看起来内容充实，条理清楚。结尾段使用了此

类分析问题的作文的典型结尾句型“itishightimethat../\

2、WhatdidthestudypublishedinthejournalSciencereveal?

A^Testingisapassivestudyingmethod.

B>Testisthebestwaytoassesspeople'slearning.

C^Takingatesthelpspeoplelearnbetter.

D^Moretestsaren'tnecessarilybetterforstudents.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：该段提到，该研究于周四刊登在《科学》期刊的网站上。研究发现，

那些读完文章后参加考试的学生在一周后所记住的内容要比采取另外两种学习方法

的学生多出50%以上。由参加考试的学生记住的内容多可知，参加考试能帮助人

们学得更好,故答案为［C］。首段第二句提到的Itactuallyhelpspeopleleam（ItJHK

Takingatest）也印证了这一点。

3、Accordingtothepassage,themethodofrepeatedlystudyingthematerial.

A^shattersstudents,confidence

B、isverypopularamongstudents

C、ishighlypraisedbymanyteachers

D、worksbetterthanconceptmapping

标准答案：B

知识点解析:第3段首句提到的Oneofthosemethods指repeatedlystudyingthe

material,这种方法对众多……应考的学生来说并不陌生。再结合第4段提到的

Theseothermethods...arepopular…可知，作为Theseothermethods之一的

repeatedlystudyingthematerial也应该是很popular的，故答案为［B］。

4、WhatdidMarciaLinnsayaboutthestudentswholooktherecalltests?

A、Theirmindseemstofunctionlessefficiently.

B、Theyaremoreoptimisticabouttheirperformance.

C、Theytendtostudyharderbeforeandafterthetest.

D、Theyreconstructtheknowledgeintheirownway.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：这两段都是MarciaLinn对参加回想考试的学生的看法。第9段提

到，她（MarciaLing继续说道，他们……按照他们自己能够理解的方式来组织所学

知识）,其中they指代Thestudentswhotooktherecalltestso［D］中的reconstructthe

knowledgeintheirownway正是对第9段提到的organizetheknowledge...inaway

thatmakessensetothem的同义转述，故答案为［D］。

5、Inthefirstexperiment,thestudentsinthethirdgroupusedthemethodof.

A、drawingdetaileddiagrams

B、readingthepassagerepeatedly

C、reorganizingthepassage

D、takingatestbeforereading

标准答案：A

知识点解析：该段首先提到笫三个小组则采取“概念图学习法”，随后对该方法进行

解释：学生把文中的细节……记在手绘的标注框中……将各个标注框连结起来，将

文章制成示意图。由此可知，第三小组使用的“概念图学习法”就是将文章绘制成标

注了详细信息的示意图，故答案为［A］。

6、Intheinitialphaseofthesecondexperiment,thestudentsusingretrieval

practice.

A、didmuchbetterintheshort-answertests

didbetterindrawinglogicalconclusions

C、recalledlessdetailsthantheothergroup

D、preformedbetterthantheconceptmappers

标准答案：C

知识点解析：该段末句提到，在最初阶段，studentswhomadediagrams

whileconsultingthepassage给出的细节要多过studentsaskedtorecallwhattheyhad

justreadinanessayo结合首句可知，students...consultingthepassage指的是使用

conceptmapping的学生，students...recallwhattheyhadjustread…指的是使用

retrievalpracticetesting的学生。由此可反推出，使用retrievalpracticetesting的学生

回忆起的细节少于另一组使用conceptmapping的学生，故答重为［C］。

7、Studentswhotookretrievalpracticetestswerelessconfidentabouttheirperformance

dueto

A、theformerfailures

thestruggleinvolved

C^thedifficultyofthematerials

D、thecompetitors'advantages

标准答案：B〜

知识点解析：第19段提到，或许这也解释了为什么参加回想考试的学生对自己一

周后的表现情况较为缺乏自信，ihatisalsowhy表明，出现上述现象的原因应该在

前文中找。前一段提到，这也可能是因为回想时的struggleinvolved能够帮助巩固

记忆。由此可知，参加回想考试的学生对自己一周后的表现情况较为缺乏自信是因

为回想时的struggleinvolved,故答案为［B］。

8、AccordingtoProfessorDanielWillingham,bycomparingtestingwithconcept

mapping,thePurduestudy.

A、madetestingagoldstandard

B、provedmanyeducatorscorrect

C^increasedthesignificanceoftesting

D、stressedtheimportanceofactivelearning

标准答案：C

知识点解析：该句表明了DanielWillingham对thePurduestudy的看法。题干中的

AccordingtoProfessorDanielWillingham与该句提到的saidDanielWillingham对

应，bycomparingtestingwithconceptmapping与bycontrastingitwithconcept

mapping对应，［C］increasedthesignificanceoftesting与bumpsitupalevel

ofimportance对应，故答案为［C］。

9、HowardGardnersaideducatorswhoadvocatedconceptmappingwereto

provethatthisapproachwassuperior.

标准答案：challenged

知识点解析：空前的were以及空后的to表明，本空应填一过去分词。题干中的

HowardGardnersaid与该段提到的hecontinued（he指代HowardGardner）对应，

educatorswhoadvocatedconceptmapping与Educatorswhoembrace...concept

mapping对应，were与are对应，toprovethatthisapproachwassuperior与

to...demonstratethesuperiorityofsuchactiveapproaches对应，故文中to前面的

challenged即为本题答案。

10、Ineducation,toomuchtestingiscriticizedfbrwastingstudents,timefbrlearning

newthingsandcausing.

标准答案:excessivestudentanxiety

知识点解析：空前的causing表明，本空应填一名词（短语），与wasting…timefor

learningnewthings并列说明过多考试被指责的一个原因。题干中的Ineducation为

原文信息重现，toomuchtesting与toomuch（后面省略了testing）对应，iscriticized

fui与diiiwingciilicisni对应，wabling...timeRnlearningnewihings与原因之

swallowsvaluabletimeforlearningnewthings对应，andcausing与andcauses对应，

故本空应填andcauses后面的excessivestudentanxietyo

II、Dr.Linn'sworkwithCaliforniaschooldistrictsindicatedthatsomeversionof

retrievalpracticetestingwasnottostudents.

标准答案：beneficial

知识点解析：题干中的Dr.Linn'sworkwithCaliforniaschooldistrictsindicatedthat

与该段提到的herworkwithCaliforniaschooldistrictshadfoundthat对应，that宾语

从句说明了该发现：对学生benefkial（有利的）的是让学生解释他们在科学实验中做

/什么事情，而不是让池们直接动手做实验（这是retrievalpracticetesting的一种）。

由此可反推出，让学生直接动手做实验，即让学生参加retrievalpracticetesting并

不能有利于学生，故本空应填beneficial。

rose[I]usually[N]exams[E]increasing[J]difficulty|O]difference

48、[SI]

标准答案：O

知识点解析：分析句子结构可知，所填词应为名词作宾语。同时空格前面的the提

示所填词指的是上一句话，因此根据上一句话中的whallookslikeimproved

efficiency和fallingquahty看出此空应填difference0

49、[S2]

标准答案：A

知识点解析：空格所在位置决定所填词应能修饰teachers,并能被alot修饰，观察

列表中符合条件的只有Afewer^n[H]better<>而通过下一段中的In1992-1993,709

full-timeinstructors和In2002-2003,'thenumberofregistrations是623,可以看出

教师现在比十年前少了，因此选fewer。

50、[S3]

标准答案：M

知识点解析:从上一句可知In1992-1993,教师的数量是709,而In旬02-2003教

师的数量是623,可以看出数量呈下降的趋势，观察列表中只有和B

declining表示下降的概念。再分析本句结构可以看出while从句中缺少谓语动词，

因此fell是答案。

51、[S4]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：从空格后的数字from77to97可以看出平均每个教师的注册学生人数

上升了，而列表中只有[E]increasing和Drose表示上升的概念。再分析本句的结构

可知，空格处应为渭晤动词，故只能选rose。

52、[S5]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：分析本句结构可以看出，所填词应能修饰quality。空格所在句是一

个设问句，因此应从下文找答案，根据本段最后---句市的qualityischangingover

time,以及下一段中的changesinqualily看出，教育质量变化了，7旦究竟是变好还

是变坏呢?下一段第一句话指出教育指导方法的变化间接地反映出质量的变化。下

文最后两句指出现在学生的考试只是多项选择，而过去班级规模小时，每个学生都

有机会写短论文，老师给评判。从这一变化可以看出教育方法变坏了，因此这里应

选decliningo同时所填

53>[S6]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：空格所在位置要求所填词能被test修饰，因此只能选名词。同时所填

词还需要能和compare搭配，观察列表中只有[G]rcsults符合要求。testresults的意

思是“测试结果”。

54、[S7]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：分析句子结构可知，whether从句做空格所填词的宾语，而该词同时

又必须能做介词of的宾语。观察列表中符合条件的只有Bdeclining,|E|increasing

和[K]judging,而符合句意的只有judging同时while提示所填词和maketheirown

comparisons形成照应。

55、[S8]

标准答案：F

知识点解析：空格前面的an提示所填词应为名词。上一段最后一句提到学生没办

法判断教育质量是否变化，而本段给出解决办法，即通过Examiningchangesin

methodsofinstruction来判断，四此选measureo

56、[S9]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：空格位置决定所填词应为副词。列表中只有[I]usuaHy,[J]difficulty和

[L]rarely符合条件，而根据后文中的allexamsarcbasedoncomputer-graded

multiple-choicequeslions可以看出人数很多，所以才采取计算机打分的多项选择题

来测试学生，因此选usually,而不选rarely«

57、[S10]

标准答案：C

知识点解析：分析句子可知，所填词应能被the修饰，作表语。而根据本句中的

Today和下一句中的Inihepast看出两句是对比关系，现在应该大多都是400人的

班，因此过去每班不到100人才是正常的，同时根据后面的studentshadthe

opportunitytowriteshortessayanswers看出，只有人数少，学生才有机会写短文让

教师评估，因此选norm。

十、阅读（常规阅读理解）（本题共70题，每题7.0

分，共70分。）
