21、Imagine you’re playing a computer game that asks you to design a poster for the school fair. You’re playing with letters, changing background colors and deciding what activity to feature.
Then, animal characters—maybe a panda—offer feedbacks on you design. You can choose whether to hear a praise or a complaint: “The words are overlapping(重叠)too much,” or, “I like that you put in the dates.” You can use their critiques(批评)as guides to help you revise your poster. Finally, you get to see how many tickets your poster sold.
This little Web-based game isn’t just a game. It’s a test, too. Most kids likes video games—a lot more than they like taking test.
Schwartz is among a new group of researchers who are working on a series of video games. They’re designed to evaluate students on factors that traditional test can’t assess. He wants to measure how students learn, how they make decisions and how they respond to feedback.
Scholars like James Paul Gee believe video games actually come much closer to capturing the learning process in action than traditional tests. In fact, in a video game, “you’re always being tested—you can’t get out of a level until you finish it.”
And, the researchers point out, at the same time you’re playing a game, the game can record your actions. When it’s over, the software can create a report: not just a record of right and wrong answers, but all the steps you took to get there.
Schwartz’s theory of assessment focuses on choice. He argues that the final goal of education is to create independent thinkers who make good decisions. And so we need assessments that test how students think, not what they happen to know at a given moment.
For example, the real point of the school-fair game is not test how good students are at graphic design. Instead, the bottom of the game comes when students choose to hear comments on their work. “So they’re not just measures of what the student already knows, but attempts to measure whether they are prepared to continue learning when they’re no longer told exactly what to do.”
【1】While designing a poster, you are advised to ________.
A. make your own decisions in designing
B. play with animal character for fun
C. change background colors constantly
D. seek negative feedbacks to improve your design.
【2】The school-fair game is designed to judge ________.
A. if students are skilled at graphic design.
B. what students know about a poster already.
C. whether students are addicted to playing games.
D. how independently students think in making decisions.
【3】According to Gee, making tests more like games is to ________.
A. make taking tests more acceptable.
B. come close to the learning process.
C. get kids to adapt to tests easily.
D. have kids challenge themselves.
【4】The main idea of the passage is about ________.
A. tests that get feedbacks from game players.
B. tests that are designed for playing games.
C. tests that have different levels like games.
D. tests that look like video games.
22、What happens inside the head of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a study of the brains of experienced players.
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.
Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complex new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.
According to the data they presented, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball less.
This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.
The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.
【1】 Where do you think the text comes from?

D. They all had children who played soccer.
【3】 What was used to find the structural changes in the brains?
A. Advanced computers.
B. A new technique M. R. I.
C. Special questionnaires.
D. Learning skills.
【4】 We can conclude that frequent heading may have .
A. a significant effect on one’s brain
B. little effect on one’s brain

26、A set of textbook designed to help high school student learn about Chinese traditional culture is to be published soon, Beijing Times reported on Monday.
The books are the first national-level works of their kind and have been developed by a working group that promotes traditional culture. They will be used by students from autumn this year, the report said.
The set contains four classics from ancient times. Two of the works, The Confucian Analects and Mencius, are for 10th-grade students, while the other two, Great Learning and Dao De Jing, will be used by 11th graders.
The initiative follows a series of steps the authorities have taken in recent years to spread and promote traditional Chinese culture on campus.
Last April, the Ministry of Education released a series of guidelines requiring the inclusion of more information about traditional culture in primary and middle school textbooks, especially those used for subjects such as Chinese Language, history, art and physical education.
The guidelines said students’ knowledge of traditional culture will be tested in the senior high school entrance examination and the gaokao, the college entrance exam.
