21、l districts widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a new international analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster （平淡的） achievement scores by . children relative to their peers in other deve

22、loped countries.Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, “no single intellectually coherent vision dominates . educational practice in math or science.” The reason, he said, “is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed.”The new analysi

This creates an educational environment that “is a mile wide and an inch deep,” Schmidt notes.For instance, eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan. Among science courses, the international gap is even wider. . curricula for this age

28、e standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he and Schmidt agree, because the decentralized responsibility for education in the United States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted one community at a time.In fact, Schmidt argues, reforms such as these proposed nation

29、al standards face an almost impossible task, because even though they are intellectually coherent, each becomes only one more voice in the babble （喧闹声）.31.According to the passage, the teaching of science and math in America is _.A） overcentralized in the past B） characterized by its diversity C） advocated in other developed countries D） focused on t
