Text 4
As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities. Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants in to American society.
The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, Unions, churches, and other agencies.
Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were one such population. Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home.
Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women. American education gave homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early twentieth-century, United States. However, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.
36. It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of education in the United States was ______.
A) the growing number of schools in frontier communities
B) an increase in the number of trained teachers
C) the expanding economic problems of schools
D) the increased urbanization of the entire country
答案：D

第一篇
Goal of American Education
Education is an enormous and expensive part of American life.Its size is matched by its variety.
Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the
fact that education here has long been intended for everyone一not just for a privileged elite.Schools are ex-
pected to meet the needs of every child,regardless of ability,and also the needs of society itself. This means
that public schools offer more than academic subjects.It surprises many people when they come here to find
high schools offering such courses as typing,sewing,radio repair,computer programming or driver training,
along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics,history,and languages.Students choose their
curricula depending on their interests,future goals,and level of ability. The underlying goal of American edu-
cation is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities,and to give each one a sense of
civic and community consciousness.
Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and"Americanizing"the
millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins.
Schools still play a large role in the community,especially in the small towns.
The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many,not only because it is informal,but also
because there is not much emphasis on learning facts.Instead,Americans try to teach their children to think
for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities.Students spend much time,learning
how to use resource materials,libraries,statistics and computers.Americans believe that if children are
taught to reason well and to research well,they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the
rest of their lives.Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of
facts.
This is America's answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking
themselves in the fast-moving time:"How can one prepare today's child for a tomorrow that one can neither
predict nor understand?"
A:the brightest students
B:the slow students
C:the students from foreign countries
D:the immigrants
由文章第二段倒数第二句话“Students choose their curricula depending on their interests, future goals , and level of ability.”可知，学生可以根据自己的兴趣、将来的目标和能力来选择课 程，因此他们所学的课程是不同的。
A、B、D三项都只提到教育的某一个方面。由文章第四段第二句话“Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities.”可知，美国教育最强调的是对学生创造能力的培养。
文章中没有提到美国教育满足外国留学生的需求。
由文章第二段最后一句话“The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities,and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.”可知，给每个学生提供最充分地发挥自己能力的机会是美国教育最重要的特点。

meet one's needs = meet the needs of sb.意为“满足某人的需要”。
这里是介词加which引导定语从句的情况，to a degree是个固定搭配，意思是“在很大程度上”。
可以根据上下句判断出这里需要一个形容词，surprised的意思是“吃惊的”，一般用于表示人，如：She is surprised at the fluency of my oral English．她对我流利的英语口语感到吃惊。surprising的意思是“令人吃惊的”，可以用来表示事情。striking的意思是“显著的”，如：striking increase明显的增加。
“由······组成”的表达方法有consist of , be comprised of , be composed of和be made up of，这里需要一个分词作定语来修饰。rganizations，因此选择consisting , " orgarnzations consisting of parents and students”的意思是“由家长和老师组成的机构”。

第8题：
Schools in the U.S. generally do not have a specific teaching plan for teachers to follow, and they certainly don’t have a set of textbooks that are taught by all school districts throughout the country. That’s why textbooks vary greatly from school to school, and from teacher to teacher even though they are all teaching the same subject in the same grade. Some schools provide books to use, but teachers do not strictly follow them. They only use them as a reference, and enjoy pointing out mistakes and wrong information given in the books. They often share their own points of view with their students. Teaching like this has many advantages. Teachers can bring out their expertise, fully elaborating their most familiar areas. Students are more interested in what they are studying. Also this flexible teaching style. benefits students in the development of critical thinking skills and the ability to apply them. On the other hand teaching like this also has many drawbacks. It causes uneven study levels. It is even more so among different schools and districts. Students in the same grade do not usually have a thorough understanding of a subject taught in the same school year. The teacher for the following year would have to spend a lot of time finding out what the students already know or do not know in the subject before starting his/her own teaching plan. Some parts may be repeated, resulting in waste of time; and other parts may not be covered at all.
Exams in American schools are much less rigid than those in China. Teaching is flexible, so are exams. Even if you memorized the whole textbook, it might not be of much help in the exams. My Chinese friend envied me for nothaving to worry about the competition for attending the best schools by takingendless exams.
(1) What are advantages of the flexible teaching style?
A、It benefits students in the development of critical thinking skills.
B、Teachers can bring out their expertise.
C、Students may have freedom in study.
D、Both A and B.
(2) The flexible teaching style. ______.
A、may cause troubles to the teacher for the following year.
B、usually helps students to have a thorough understanding of a subject
C、makes the exam easy.
D、may save teachers’time
(3) The word drawbacks (paragraph 2) means______.
A、mistakes
B、difficulties
C、disadvantages
D、troubles
(4) From the passage we are told American teachers______.
A、have to follow a specific teaching plan.
B、dislike pointing out mistakes and wrong information given in the books.
C、teaching the same subject may use different textbooks.
D、strictly follow books provided by schools.
(5) This article is mainly about ______.
A、the advantages and disadvantages of the flexible teaching style
