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.U.S. curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, Iceland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems share our pattern of splintered visions but which are not economic leaders.
33. By saying that the U.S. educational environment is a mile wide and an inch deep , the author means U.S. educational practice ________.
[定位与替换] 本题问作者对美国教育实践的看法。根据上面两段This指代的事实以及For instance后对a mile wide and an inch deep的进一步解释可以看出,美国教育注重所开科目的广度而不重视深度,所以选D) scratches the surface of a wide range of topics只触及了许多科目的表面。另外,education environment = educational practice。解题的关键是要跨段整合内容,并准确地识别指代和例证的含义。
[干扰项分析] A) lays stress on quality at the expense of quantity牺牲数量来强调质量,和文中内容相反;B) offers an environment for comprehensive education为全面综合教育提供了环境,文中只提到科学和数学教育,并未出现全面综合教育的概念;C) encourages learning both in depth and in scope鼓励既深入又广泛地学习,这只是美国教育改革的方向,与原文内容不一致。
