david miliband, the minister for school standards, insists the answer is a firm “no”. and he said it was wrong that “more will mean worse and more education for more people will mean lower standards”. figures show that despite the rise in a-grades to 21. 6 per cent only 22,000 out of 600,000 18-year-olds gain three a-grade passes. put another way, that means in a primary class of 30 pupils only one will get three a-grades. the center right bow group, in a pamphlet published today, however, says nine out of ten scholars believe a-grades have been devalued over the past ten years.two inquiries (调查) both set up by the governments exams watchdogs one of which included independent teaching experts, refused to accept that there had been any “dumping down” of a-level standards. but while they conclude that the exam questions have not become easier, changes in examining methods have almost certainly made it easier to gain top-grade passes.as a result of the exams shake-up introduced in 2000, students sit six different types of exams to make up an a-level during the course of their two years of study. only 20 per cent of the marks are set for the end-of-term exam. this makes it easier for teachers to help their pupils with the right answers.mr miliband said yesterday, “my argument is not that todays generation of pupils are cleverer than their parents; it is that schools and teachers are getting better at getting the best out of them.”46. from the writers point of view, the rise in a-grades to 21. 6 per cent shows _.a. it is generally thought more education means lower standardsb. the rise in the a-level pass rate has made the exam worthlessc. the quality of the 18-year-olds has become lowerd. it is still hard for the general pupils to get three a-grade passes47. the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to _.a. the exams watchdogsb. the independent teaching expertsc. the a-level standardsd. the two inquiries48. as a result of the exams shake-up introduced in 2000 _.a. the pass rate for a-levels was set to rise continuouslyb. the exam became easier than it had been before 2000c. pupils could have many more choices of test after 2000d. it soon became popular with teachers and pupils49. what does this passage mainly discuss?a. how reliable and effective the a-level grading system is.b. how the a-level system helps universities select pupils.c. how the pass rate has been increased in recent years.d. how the a-level grading system has changed over the years.单词拼写1. our class is d into two groups during the discussion.2. what he said in the meeting p all of us.3. the c of transp
