Question

Do you mind sharing your test scores with others?

On May 16, Guo Ruiting, 14, from Shenzhen Foreign Language School, had a big debate (辩论) with her classmates on this topic.

Guo believed that making the scores public would make students study harder. At first, she explained many theories (理论) that she had collected on the Internet. But they were too difficult to understand. So she was easily beaten by her opponent (对方) Du Xiaoshe.

“Publishing the results of our tests is bad for us,” said Du. He came to this conclusion (结论) after he failed his history exam one month ago. He thought it was just an accident. But he felt so hurt when his parents got a list of his marks. It also showed the marks of other students in his class.

His experience seemed to have won over many students. But Guo’s team didn’t give up.

“Don’t you forget the time when we all worked harder after knowing the average mark of Class 2?” asked Guo. “We’d have never been so good if we didn’t know how far we were behind. So it’s good to know others’ marks,” said Guo.

These words encouraged Du. He partly agreed with Guo’s team. He thought it was good to show the average mark of each class but not individual (个人的) marks. This is the perfect way to respect their privacy (隐私) and make them work hard as well.

Such a conclusion won most of the students’ minds.

“Sometimes we need to compromise (折中), both in a debate and in our life,” added Du.

【解析】短文大意：这是一篇有关校园生活话题的文章。就是否应该公开个人学习成绩，郭锐婷与杜小赦两名同学之间展开激烈的辩论。最后采取折中的办法，正反双方都认为公开班级成绩有利于激发学生的学习激情，对提高学习成绩有一定的好处。

1.A

细节理解题。根据短文开头的句子“Do you mind sharing your test scores with others?”，以及第二段“On May 16, Guo Ruiting, 14, from Shenzhen Foreign Language School, had a big debate (辩论) with her classmates on this topic.”可知，学生辩论的主题就是是否应该公开学生个人的成绩，故答案为A。

2.B

细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“At first, she explained many theories (理论) that she had collected on the Internet.”可知，郭锐婷辨论前，在网上收集了许多相关资料，故答案为B。

3.C

细节理解题。根据第四段第二，三句“He came to this conclusion (结论) after he failed his history exam one month ago. He thought it was just an accident.”可知，杜小赦的意外事故就是指一个月前那次历史考试的不及格。故答案为C。

4.B

细节理解题。根据短文中的句子“So it’s good to know others’ marks,” said Guo.

These words encouraged Du. He partly agreed with Guo’s team. He thought it was good to show the average mark of each class but not individual (个人的) marks.”可知，两人都赞同公布班级的平均分，找到差距，以便更好地去努力，故答案为B。

5.B

推理判断题。文章介绍了一次班级辩论会，就是否应该公开个人成绩展开辩论，以及采取折中的办法公开班级成绩的好处。可知，讨论的话题与学校生活有关，故B答案最符合题意。

点睛：文章的主题往往比较容易出现在短文的开头与结尾。这篇短文介绍的是一次辩论会，根据短文的第一句“Do you mind sharing your test scores with others?”可知，辩论的主题是“是否应该公布学生的成绩”。准确把握这一主题后，与之相关的考题就变得容易一些，比如像第1,5小题，都是与这一主题而设计的相关习题。

第5小题适合使用“推理判断法”来解题。推理判断就是根据文章所提供的信息，去把握主题大意，得出合乎逻辑的结论。既然辩论的内容与学习成绩有关，自然是有关校园生活的话题，从而推断出答案为B。
