14.Many studies have shown that students learn in different ways and that good results can be achieved if they are taught by a teaching method that suits them best.Similarly,students'performance varies in what types of test they are given.Therefore,it may seem reasonable to give students the chance to choose how they wish to be tested.However,this would mean teachers would be forced to prepare many different methods of assessment for the exact same material.Teachers are already very busy,creating tests,grading,coming up with interesting lesson plans,teaching classes,not to mention holding parent teacher conferences,and creating new tests would only add to their burden.
Another strain teachers would have to face is how to grade fairly and objectively if students were tested on the same material in a variety of ways.For instance,how do you compare a student who wrote an essay on one small topic of a book to another who answered every multiple choice question correctly over the entire book?Maybe the student who wrote the essay only read a small part of it in depth enough so that they could write the essay.But perhaps the student taking the multiple choice test only had a base understanding of the book and couldn't write a critical essay about something in it.
This is not to say,however,that students should be graded in the same manner every time.This would be equally unfair as again,different students test better when assessed by different methods.Therefore,teachers need to be sure to give essay tests,multiple choice tests,as well as other multi-media(多媒體) projects to assess their students,just not over the same material.This gives students the opportunity to show off their abilities and make up for tasks that they're not good at.For instance,a student that is a bad test taker could make up for their grade with a well-performed project.Another option is to provide students with extra credit opportunities.As such,students could be allowed to choose the method in which they wish to complete their extra credit.If a student is a strong essay writer,they could write an extra essay to make up for their poor test grade.This would allow students to compensate for poor grades in areas in which they aren't as accomplished.

分析 本文是議論文.不同的學(xué)生所擅長的考試方 式不盡相同,那么是否應(yīng)該讓學(xué)生自己選擇考試方 式呢2作者對此問題展開討論.
解答 28.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段中的this would mean teachers would be forced to prepare many different methods of assessment for the exact same material 及 creating new tests would only add to their burden可知,如東讓學(xué)生自己選擇考 試方式,那么意味著老師要對同樣的考試內(nèi)容 設(shè)計不同的考試方式,工作量必然加大;故選A.
29.B.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)劃線詞后的howtograde fairly and objectively if students were tested on the same material in a variety of ways 可知,如果 讓學(xué)生自己選擇考試方式的話,如何公正客觀 地評價是老師面臨的另一個"困難";故選B.
30.B.寫作目的題.根據(jù)最后一段中的Teachers need to be sure to give essay tests…以及 Another option is to provide students with extra credit opportunities可知,本段主要對"讓學(xué)生自 己選擇考試方式"如何操作提出了兩點建議;故選B.
31.D.文章出處題.通讀全文Many studies have shown that students learn in different ways and that good results can be achieved if they are taught by a teaching method that suits them best可知,本文主要圍繞"讓學(xué)生自己選擇考試方式"展開討論,屬于教 育的范疇.故選D項.
點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
