Studentstransformtheirownstatementsintouncertaincomments【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了教育不是旁观者的活动。要想学有所获，必须积极参与其中互动。男生比女生愈加积极地参与课堂互动，因此获得老师更多的直接指导，这使得他们的能力得到培养，个性也得到张扬，因此在此后的职场中也可以站统领地位。女性要想获得同等的地位，应当从积极参与课堂互动开始。（1）考察推理判断。纵观全文可知，许多研究表明，当学生参与课堂讨论时，他们对上学持更积极的态度，积极的态度增进学习。女生在课堂讨论中更被动，在SAT考试中得分低于男生，这不是巧合。因此推断作者说“教育不是旁观者的活动”是为了表明男孩和女孩都应当积极参与课堂讨论。故选D。（2）考察细节理解。根据第三段中的“Ourresearchcontradictedthetraditionalassumptionthatgirlscontrolclassroomcommunicationinreadingwhileboysinmath.WefoundthatwhetherthesubjectwaslanguageartsandEnglishormathandscience,boysgotmorethantheirfairshareofteacherattention.”可知，我们的研究违反了老式的假设，即女孩在阅读中控制课堂交流，而男孩在数学中控制课堂交流。我们发现，无论是语言艺术和英语，还是数学和科学，男孩在教师的注意力中所占的份额都超过了他们的平均水平。因此女孩在阅读中控制课堂交流，而男孩在数学中控制课堂交流的说法是错误的。故选B。（3）考察细节理解。根据第一段中的“Numerousresearchershaveshownthatwhenstudentsparticipateinclassroomdiscussiontheyholdmorepositiveattitudestowardschool,andthatpositiveattitudespromotelearning.”可知，A项“学生们可以积极参与课堂讨论”是对的；根据第四段的“Yearsofexperiencehaveshownthatthebestwaytolearnsomethingistodoityourself.Itisalsoimportanttogivestudentsspecificanddirectfeedbackaboutthequalityoftheirworkandanswers.”可知，数年的经验表明，最佳的学习措施是自己去做。给学生有关他们的工作和答案的质量的详细而直接的反馈也是很重要的。故B、C都是有利的原因；而D项“学生们将自己的陈说转化为不确定的评论”文章中没有提到。故选D。【点评】本题考点波及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考察，是一篇教育类阅读，考生需要精确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出对的答案。4．阅读理解
