23、. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Throughout the nations more than 15,000 school districts widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Th

24、ough 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 developed countries.Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, wh

25、o 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 analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based

26、on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual . communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school districts curricula, its

27、textbooks, or its teachers activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries.On average, . students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that “is a mile wide and an

28、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 level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, Ic

29、eland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems “share our pattern of splintered (支离破碎的) visions” but which are not economic leaders.The new report “couldnt come at a better time,” says Gerald Wheeler, executive director o

30、f the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington. “The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision,” including the call “to do less, but in greater depth.”Implementing the new science standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he and Schmidt agree,

31、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 national 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
