16、nternational Student Assessment(评估)(PISA) shows math scores in the US getting lower and no improvement in science or reading.PISA tests 15-year-olds from different countries and regions in their math,science and reading skills.About 540,000 students from 72 countries and regions took part in the ass
17、essment in 2015.US scores in reading and science were about the same as three years ago,leaving Americans near the middle of the bigger group.But the situation in math is much more worrying.The US average score was 470,be;ow the OECD(经合组织)test average of 490,meaning the US was No.40 among the 72 cou
18、ntries and areas.It was 12 points lower than in 2012 and 18 points lower than in 2009.So,what is going on with American students math skills?One reason may be that the US does not teach math in enough depth.Students are often good at answering the first part of a problem in the United States,said An
19、dreas Schleicher,director of education and skills at OECD.But as soon as students have to go deeper and answer the more complicated part of a problem,they have difficulties.In comparison,many high-performing countries and regions in math teach a lot less but focus in much greater depth, especially w

24、 to America students.D.To give American math teachers some advice on how to teach math.CFloods are second only to fire as the most common of all natural disasters.They occur almost everywhere in the world,resulting in widespread damage and even death.Consequently,scientists have long tried to perfec
25、t their ability to predict floods.So far,the best that scientists can do is to recognize the potential for flooding in certain conditions. There are a number of conditions,from deep snow on the ground to human error,which cause flooding.When deep snow melts it creates a large amount of water.Althoug
26、h deep snow alone rarely causes floods,when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather it can lead to serious flooding.If there is a fast snow melt on top of frozen or very wet ground,flooding is more likely to occur than when the ground is not frozen.Frozen ground or ground that i
27、s very wet cannot absorb the additional water created by the melting snow.Melting snow also contributes to high water levels in rivers and streams.Rivers that are covered in ice can also lead to flooding.When ice begins to melt,the surface of the ice cracks and breaks into large pieces.These pieces
28、of ice move and float down the river,They can form a dam in the river,causing the water behind the dam to rise and flood the land upstream.If the dam breaks suddenly,then the large amount of water held behind the dam can flood the areas downstream too.Broken ice dams are not the only dam problems th
29、at can cause flooding.When a large human-made dam breaks or fails to hold the water collected behind it,the results can be devastating.Dams contain such huge amounts of water behind them that when sudden breaks occur,the great force of the water is like a great tidal wave.The dam waters can travel t
30、ens of kilometres,cover the ground in metres of mud and litter,and drown and crush every thing and creature in their path.Although scientists cannot always predict exactly when floods will occur,they do know a great deal about when floods are probably going to occur.Deep snow,ice-covered rivers,and weak dams are all strong conditions for potential flooding.27.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(P stands for Paragraph.)28.Why does frozen ground probably contribute to flooding
