弯弯的月亮

  星子的老师是刚从师范学校毕业的,年轻漂亮,很招星子和同学们的喜欢。

  一天,老师在课堂上向同学们提问:“同学们,你们想一想,弯弯的月亮像什么?”

  学生们几乎异口同声地回答:“像——小--船儿——”

  年轻的老师听了同学们的回答后,高兴地说:“好,同学们的回答很正确。”

  这时,坐在前排的星子举起了手,可是老师没有发现,星子就仍举着手,还喊了一句:“老师!”

  老师听见后,说:“星子同学,有什么问题请讲。”

  星子站起来,眨动着那双亮晶晶的大眼睛,说:“老师,我看弯弯的月亮像豆角。”

  老师听完星子的话,一脸不高兴,她对星子说:“你的回答是错误的。全班同学都说弯弯的月亮像小船儿,你为什么偏偏要说像豆角呢?难道就你特别有见解吗?”

  班上的同学一阵哄笑,星子的眼窝里满是泪水。

  回到家后,星子把这件事告诉了曾做过小学老师的奶奶,奶奶说:“星子,老师的批评是正确的,弯弯的月亮是像小船,我从前教过的一批又一批学生,他们也都是这样回答的。”

  星子听完奶奶的话,眼窝里又一次含满了泪水。

  这件事情以后,星子开始变得少言寡语,她很不喜欢这位年轻、漂亮的老师,在课堂上再也不敢向老师提出“特别”的问题……

  很快,几年过去,星子考入一所师范学校;又很快地,星子从这所学校毕业,她回到故乡的小镇做了老师。

  走上讲台第一课,星子老师穿着朴素、整洁的衣服,笑眯眯地说:“同学们,在讲课之前,我首先提一个问题--你们想一想,弯弯的月亮像什么?”

  静默一会儿后,学生们几乎是异口同声地回答:“像——小——船儿——”

  星子老师没有说同学们的回答是否正确,她那双美丽的大眼睛,充满期待地注视着大家,接着,她又问:“同学们,有没有和这个答案不一样的?”

  一个叫田菲的学生举起手,说:“老师,我的答案和他们不一样,我说弯弯的月亮像镰刀。”

   星子老师听后很高兴,说:“田菲同学的回答正确,当然,其他同学的回答也正确。我只是想启发同学们在回答问题时,应该大胆发挥你们的想像力,多想出几个答案。比如弯弯的月亮除了像小船儿,像镰刀之外,还像不像弓?像不像豆角?”

  学生们报以一阵热烈的掌声。

  星子老师的脸颊上,浮现出一种从心窝里涌出来的笑容。

  ……

  几十年过后,已退休闲居在家的星子,接到女作家田菲寄来的她自己创作、刚出版的第一部长篇小说《弯弯的月亮》。

  星子急忙翻开书,见书的扉页上这样写道:

  送给我最敬爱的启蒙老师:

  感谢您给我插上想像的翅膀……

                                      您的学生:田菲

Many Going to College Are Not Ready

Only about half of this year’s high school graduates have the reading skills they need to succeed in college, and even fewer are prepared for college-level science and math courses, according to a yearly report from ACT, which produces one of the nation’s leading college admissions tests.

The report, based on scores of the 2005 high school graduates who took the exam, some 1.2 million students in all, also found that fewer than one in four met the college-readiness benchmarks (基准)in all four subjects tested: reading comprehension, English, math and science.

ACT sets its college-readiness benchmarks — including the reading comprehension benchmark, which is new this year—by correlating(联系)earlier students’ ACT scores with grades they actually received as college freshmen. Based on that data, the benchmarks indicate the skill level at which a student has a 70 percent likelihood(可能性)of earning a C or better, and a 50 percent chance of earning a B or better.

Among those who took the 2005 test, only 51 percent achieved the benchmark in reading, 26 percent in science, and 41 percent in math; the figure for English was 68 percent. Results from the new optional ACT writing test, which was not widely taken this year, were not included in the report.

About 40 percent of the nation’s 2005 high school graduates took the ACT, and the average overall score was unchanged from the year before. Minority students make up 27 percent of all ACT test takers. Besides, there are also other worrying trends in the ACT report as well, including a continuing decline in the percentage of students planning to major in engineering, computer science and education.

50. The report from ACT mainly tells readers the problem that ______.

A. few minority students graduates took ACT

B. many who intend to go to college are not ready

C. the college-readiness benchmarks is high this year

51. According to the benchmarks in 2005, about how many students will not earn C?

52. Which of the following pictures can correctly show the numbers of the students who achieve the benchmark in different subjects?

A.        B.

C.        D.

53. Which of the followings can be found in the report from ACT in 2005?

A. The report about the writing test is very objective.

B. More boy students are not good at science and math.

C. The percentage of students majoring science declined.

D. The average score of 2005 ACT participants changed greatly.
