北师大版高一英语试卷

the Department of Physics of the Ohio State University，gave 5,760 freshmen in three US and four

Chinese universities two tests to evaluate content knowledge and another to assess scientific reasoning.

            Though Chinese students did better than their US counterparts in the first two tests that emphasized

on learning facts，both groups “scored relatively poorly” on the third test，designed to assess their

 ability to systematically explore a problem，the results showed.

        Lei Bao said that the finding challenges conventional wisdom，which holds that teaching science

facts will improve Students’ reasoning ability.“Our study shows that，contrary to what many people

would expect，even when students are thoroughly taught the facts，they don’t necessarily develop

the reasoning skills they need to succeed，” Bao said.“Because students need both knowledge

and reasoning，we need to explore teaching methods that target both.”

         The current education systems and assessment of China and the US do not emphasize on deep

understanding of scientific reasoning in the disciplines of science，technology，engineering and

mathematics (STEM)，the study concluded.

       Bao explained that reasoning is a good skill for everyone to possess—not just scientists and

engineers.The general public also need good reasoning skills in order to correctly interpret scientific

findings and think rationally.STEM students need to excel__at scientific reasoning in order to handle

open­ended real­world tasks in their future careers in science and engineering.

       How to boost scientific reasoning？The study suggests that educators must go beyond teaching

science facts if they hope to boost students’ reasoning ability.Bao points to inquirybased learning，

where students work in groups，question teachers and design their own investigations.This teaching

technique is growing in popularity worldwide.

        Alice watched from her brother’s New Orleans house as Hurricane Katrina split trees，broke

windows，and swallowed cars，including her own.A few miles away，her best friend，Pat，

also a nurse，was supervising patients in the high­risk hospital when the river banks broke.For

the next six days，Pat and her crew lived there until a rescue boat picked them up.

         Both of them were evacuated__to safer parts of the States.Weeks later，they，like thousands

of others，returned to find their homes uninhabitable，their jobs gone.

        The following spring，as she was rebuilding her life，Alice contacted an information centre for

returning residents.When asked if she would head a desperately needed clinic，Alice said she’d
