35、英學(xué)校及耶魯大學(xué)畢業(yè)生馬爾科維茨說:學(xué)生覺得高中是危險(xiǎn)的地方。他們得挺起胸膛上學(xué)。他說常規(guī)的目的是幫助學(xué)生集中注意力并獲取安全感這些常規(guī)是從一家也在奧爾良開設(shè)學(xué)校的全國特許連鎖KIPP的方法中借鑒來的。Sci任教大約一年的老師講了包括情態(tài)動(dòng)詞和助動(dòng)詞的細(xì)微差別在內(nèi)的幾個(gè)語法點(diǎn)。的方式以引起全班的注意力。她喊道:SPARK檢查!這幾個(gè)字母縮寫分別代表坐直,鉛筆和紙準(zhǔn)備好(或雙手交叉放在前面),提問和回答問題,尊重和保持專注。二、一,請舉起你們的作業(yè)。我們需要針對作業(yè)完成情況設(shè)定目標(biāo)。我看到班里只有三分之一的同學(xué)完成了作業(yè)。N.該市的特許學(xué)校經(jīng)歷了長時(shí)間的發(fā)展。在上世紀(jì)90年代,該市學(xué)校。47但是

37、由此可見,題干是對原文的同義轉(zhuǎn)述,故答案為K。題干中的inexpertenced與原文中的lackofexperience相對應(yīng);strictandrigidways是原文中regimented routines的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。47.N1317解析:題干意為,新奧爾良特許中學(xué)沒有繼承先進(jìn)的傳統(tǒng),只能遵循市場法則而生存,并與其他學(xué)校競爭。注意抓住題干中的關(guān)鍵詞New Orleans Charter Middle School和compete。關(guān)于新奧爾良特許中學(xué)與其他學(xué)校競爭的內(nèi)容在N當(dāng)其創(chuàng)始人接著創(chuàng)辦FirstLine(當(dāng)今新奧爾良特許學(xué)校的領(lǐng)軍力量之一)時(shí),特許運(yùn)動(dòng)中先進(jìn)的根基已經(jīng)被競爭強(qiáng)烈的特許市場的新現(xiàn)文的同義轉(zhuǎn)述,故答案是48.C解析:題干意為,新奧
