5.The English test will be removed from China's college entrance exam by 2020,according to the Ministry of Education.The national college entrance exam,known as the"Gaokao"has been used to evaluate Chinese students for three decades.The Ministry of Education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment.Tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to reduce study pressure and change China's once-in-a-lifetime exam system.
The decision has aroused a heated discussio among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted whether the reform would reduce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student's English skills and help students learn English better.
"As far as I see,the reform doesn't mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it is excluded from the unified college entrance exam,"Yu said."In a way,English is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference,while every college and university,even every major,can have different requirements of a student's English skills under a diverse evaluation system."
Yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesn't need excellent English while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.
The education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.

解答 48---51 DCBD
48.答案D.推理題:從第一段的句子:Instead,tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to alleviate study pressure and change China's once-in-a-lifetime exam system.可以推斷出一年多次考試的系統(tǒng)要比一次考試有更多的好處,選D.
49.答案C.細(xì)節(jié)題:從文章第三段的句子:The decision has aroused a heated discussion among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted the reform would reduce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student's English skills and help students learn English better.可知上海的父母和教育工作者認(rèn)為這個改革實現(xiàn)的結(jié)果可能正相反,選C.
50.答案B.句意理解題:這句話的意思是如果一個學(xué)生的專業(yè)不需要很好的英語就可以減輕壓力,而如果想成為最優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生還是需要認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)英語的.可就是說:"是否學(xué)生應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)英語取決于他們的專業(yè)",選B.
51.答案D.寫作意圖題:從文章倒數(shù)第三段的句子:"As far as I see,the reform doesn't mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it will be excluded from the unified college entrance exam,"英語考試改革不意味著英語就不重要了,所以可知作者寫這篇文章是為了鼓勵學(xué)生按照自己計劃的去做,選D.
點評 科普類文章一般由標(biāo)題(Head line),導(dǎo)語(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主體(Main body)和結(jié)尾(End)五部分構(gòu)成.標(biāo)題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根據(jù)歷年的高考情況來看,這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標(biāo)題,而要同學(xué)們選擇標(biāo)題.導(dǎo)語一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一個事實的起因.主體則對導(dǎo)語概括的事實進行詳細(xì)敘述,這一部分命題往往最多,因此,閱讀時,同學(xué)們要把這部分作為重點.結(jié)尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并與導(dǎo)語相呼應(yīng),命題者常在此要設(shè)計一道推理判斷題.在進行推理判斷時,同學(xué)們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學(xué)事實為依據(jù),同時所得出的結(jié)論還應(yīng)符合基本的科普常識.
