race），所以 A 对。B 说它是每年一次的传统马拉松，可原文讲 2017 年汉堡首办、如今全球巡赛，明显不符；C 把对象说成“仅限职业选手的举重赛”，纯属曲解；D 说它只是没实感的社媒挑战，也和文中“现场上万人参赛”矛盾。细节题要回到原句逐词比对，别被眼熟的词带偏。 22. 答案 B。 这题考数据。原文说 2017 年汉堡首赛约 650 人，上赛季超 150 万，2026-27 赛季预计超 200 万——明显在讲“从 650 涨到 150 万+”的增长，故选 B。A 说“只由小型健身俱乐部赞助”，原文明确提到 Puma、Red Bull、Amazon；C 说“主要吸引 18 岁以下青少年”，文中平均 36 岁、最大 75 岁；D 说“2025 季后停止扩张”，与“预计超 200 万”相反。 23. 答案 C。 末段拿 CrossFit 作比，是为了说明 Hyrox 对身体的负担更轻——它不要求复杂举重，所以才吸引退休者和爱好者。A 说“CrossFit 更受欢迎”，原文无比较；B 说“证明奥运先收了 CrossFit”，无中生有；D 说“抱怨 Hyrox 太贵”，末段贵的是 Hyrox 本身，不是 CrossFit。举例类题目要看清“例子在支撑什么”，就不会选错。 24. 答案 A。 发布会最大焦点就是首款折叠屏 iPhone Duo（starts at $1,999）。B 的“新 Mac”、C 的“千元廉价机”、D 的“睡眠智能表”文中都没提，属干扰项。抓 headline / most important 这类信号词，答案往往就在同一句。 25. 答案 B。 Ternus 上周刚接任 CEO，是资深硬件工程师，文章对他“带来创新浪潮”寄予厚望，所以 B 对。A 错在“他是 1997 年创始人”——1997 年是乔布斯回归，并非他；C 说“反对折叠屏”，与“隆重发布”相反；D 说“只管过软件”，原文说他是 hardware engineer。推理题要依据文中事实，别套自己知道的苹果八卦。 26. 答案 C。 直接因果：内存芯片成本自去年秋涨了五倍，苹果为保利润只好提价。A“为和廉价安卓竞争”、B“要在欧洲建厂”、D“因为销量大涨”都不是提价原因。因果题别把“相关”当“原因”，看清谁导致谁。 27. 答案 D。 末句说专家普遍认为苹果入局会给停滞的折叠屏品类“打一针强心剂”（a shot in the arm），态度明显积极。A doubtful、B certain it will fail、C uninterested 全都和文末相反。态度题看作者引述的他人评价倾向，尤其文末总结句。 28. 答案 C。 全文从标题 Chinese Carmakers Go Global 到每一段都在讲中国车企出海——海外本地化建厂、抢占欧洲市场、2026 出口或达千万辆，这才是主旨。A“福特如何失去领先地位”只是首段拿来作对比的引子，并非全文讨论的主角；B“欧洲车企关厂”是局部细节；D“电动车史”更是无中生有。主旨题盯住反复出现的关键词 Chinese carmakers / global / exports，别被某一段里的 Ford 带偏。 29. 答案 B。 国内市场的萎缩（market shrinks）加价格战，把出口推高了七倍。A“欧盟加关税”反而阻碍出口；C“福特退出英国”无关；D“中国劳力变便宜”原文没说，且文说 dark factories 减人力不等于劳力便宜。因果要回原文找明示。 30. 答案 C。 中国车企优势在精简架构、流畅制造、垂直整合，新车研发约两年。A“用更多零件”与原文“1000-2000 个 vs 欧洲 3000-10000”相反；B“只在发展中国家卖”错，欧洲才是最大目标；D“靠老厂房”原文说买旧厂只是更快，不是优势本身。 31. 答案 D。 “dark factories”指高度自动化、连照明都不需要的工厂。A“只在夜间生产”、B“全靠太阳能”、C“从欧洲买的旧厂”都是望文生义。遇到带引号的生词，结合后文解释（so automated that no lights are needed）就能破。 32. 答案 A。 Cybercab 没有方向盘也没有刹车踏板。B“有可接管的司机”与“no way to take control”相反；C“比普通出租车慢”、D“只靠太阳能”都无依据。细节题定位到首段“no steering wheels or brake pedals”即可。 33. 答案 B。 特斯拉在投放车辆和完成订单上都落后于 Waymo，所以必须“move quickly”追赶。A“股价一直大跌”不是直接原因；C“监管禁了所有车”夸大；D“顾客要更便宜”未提。“move quickly”的前一句就是原因，往前看一句。 34. 答案 C。 皮尤调查：七成美国人对无人驾驶“不太/完全不”舒服，仅 7%“非常/很”舒服——说明公众接受度低。A“多数爱”、B“仅 7% 反对”（实为 7% 支持）都和数据相反；D“特斯拉最安全”无依据。数据题注意看百分比指向哪一方。 35. 答案 D。 末段讲 NHTSA 就 Cybercab 是否合规展开第四项调查，监管在追问“无方向盘踏板的设计是否合法”。A“轻松合规”、B“车企须永远自认证”、C“很快取代人类出租车”都错。段落主旨看该段在说什么事，末段聚焦“监管质疑合法性”。 第二节 七选五（36–40） 36. 答案 G。 空在第二段段首，要接住第一段结尾“盼望成绩反弹”的希望，再引出本段“分数继续下滑”。G 句 'Yet the latest results told a far less cheerful story' 用 Yet 一转，results 又扣回 OECD 数据，正好当这段的主题句。E“希望灾难终于结束”和上文希望重复，接不下去，排除。段首空常是过渡或主题句，看前一段尾句找衔接。 37. 答案 D。 空前说“亚洲教育体系领跑”，空后说“更大图景是长期下滑”。D 'Asian countries also slipped, but usually less than the West' 用 Asian countries 接住前句，'also slipped / 但比西方轻'既承认亚洲领先、又点出也在滑——自然引到“整体下滑”。B“上一轮已现骤降”只谈往届，和本段亚洲话题接不上。段中空看空前空后谁和谁呼应。 38. 答案 C。 本段讲成绩自 2012 年见顶后一路下滑，如今 15 岁孩子只够十年前 14 岁水平。空在段尾，C 'These long-running factors could push ability still lower' 用 long-running 扣回'peaked 2012 / fallen ever since'，收束下滑趋势并预言更低。段尾空多是总结或过渡，看本段在讲什么结论。 39. 答案 A。 空前说“下滑加深了对科技的担忧”，空后列儿童阅读比例下降的数据。A 'Screens are clearly pulling children away from books' 用 screens / books 把“科技”和“阅读”连起来，正好解释“担忧”并引出后面的数据。段中空若前后是“观点→证据”，中间往往是解释句。 40. 答案 F。 本段讲多国照搬芬兰“少讲多自学”模式，空在段尾过渡到“分数不是人的全部”。F 'This approach may not fit every country's classroom' 用 This approach 指代前面'copy Finland's model'，总结批评并自然转向下句。多余项 B、E 放哪都不顺：B 只谈往届，E 重复开头的“希望”，都接不住。 第一节 完形填空（41–55） 41. 答案 B。 'not to finish in last place' 是固定说法，意思就是“别垫底”，和前文“目标很简单”呼应。A leading（领先的）意思反了；C second（第二名）偷换名次；D trailing（落后的）一般不和 place 搭配表名次。 42. 答案 C。 'the ultimate failure' 和上文 last place 呼应，就是“彻底的失败者”。A victor（胜利者）、B hero（英雄）、D beginner（初学者）都不合“不想让儿子觉得爸爸是失败者”的意思。 43. 答案 A。 get in shape 是固定搭配，“强身健体”，妻子催“我”健身。B condition（get in condition 也通，但本篇用 shape）、C momentum（无此搭配）、D gear（get in gear 是“开始行动”，意思不对）。 44. 答案 B。 entered for the race 是“报名参赛”，呼应“不能对儿子说不”。A headed（headed for 朝…去）、C opted（opted for 选择）、D applied（applied for 申请）都不能和 for the race 组成“参赛”。 45. 答案 C。 完赛却垫底，“我”感到 embarrassed（尴尬），开始找借口，和后文 humiliation 一致。A content（满足的）、B composed（镇定的）、D upset（心烦的）都不合“找借口”的心态。 46. 答案 A。 better prepared 是“准备更充分”，和“线条分明的肌肉”呼应。B equipped（装备）、C conditioned（身体状态）、D built（体格）也能修饰人，但这里强调的是“备赛充分”。 47. 答案 D。 冰冷海水让人 shiver（发抖），符合语境。A tremble（颤抖）意思很近、是强干扰，但 shiver 更特指因冷发抖；B sweat（出汗）、C faint（晕倒）相反。 48. 答案 B。 Eventually 是“最终”，挣扎后“终于”回到岸上。A Abruptly（突然）、C Reluctantly（不情愿地）、D Temporarily（暂时）都不合“最终上岸”的递进。 49. 答案 A。 更快的选手从我身边 passed（超过），呼应前面的“On your left”。B trailed（尾随/落后，意思反）、C cheered（加油）、D shadowed（跟踪）都不合。 50. 答案 C。 catch her 是“追上她”，给自己打气。A surpass（超越）、B outrun（跑得比…快）、D match（匹敌）都偏“胜出”，而语境是“努力跟上、别被拉太远”。 51. 答案 B。 something changed——某种东西变了，尴尬逐渐被骄傲取代。A faded（消退）、C stirred（涌动）、D survived（幸存）都概括不了“由尴尬转骄傲”。 52. 答案 D。 reframed…as a victory 是“把垫底重新定义为胜利”，点题。A disguised（伪装）、B dismissed（否定/打发）、C defended（辩护）都不合“重新解读”的意思。 53. 答案 A。 role model 是“榜样”，“我是儿子的榜样”。B mentor（导师，侧重指导）、C legend（传奇）、D idol（偶像）都不合父子语境——爸爸是日常榜样，不是遥不可及的传奇。 54. 答案 C。 displayed 是“展现出（坚持与韧性）”，和原文 'Persistence and resilience — that's what I displayed' 一致。A pursued（追求）、B admired（钦佩）、D embraced（接纳）都不接 qualities 作“展现”讲。 55. 答案 D。 try your hardest 是固定搭配，“尽最大努力”。A limit、B peak、C maximum 都不和 try your 搭配（应为 try your best / utmost）。 第二节 语法填空（56–65） 56. 答案 passers-by。 空处作主语，指“看到火情的人”。passer-by 变复数是 passers-by，注意不是 passers-bys（以 -by 结尾的复合名词变复数改前面）。名词复数要留心这种特殊变化。 57. 答案 to。 bring back to life 是固定搭配，“使…恢复生机”，这里用介词 to。易混 into / for，但固定短语只认 to。 58. 答案 what。 to what has been a public trauma 中 what 引导宾语从句，作“已成为公共创伤的事物”。that 不能既当介词宾语又含表语，所以这里用 what。 59. 答案 ambitious。 提示词 ambition 是名词，修饰 goal 要变形容词 ambitious。名词不能直接修饰名词，这是词性转换常考点。 60. 答案 was left。 主语 it 和 leave 是被动，且 19 世纪用一般过去时，所以是 was left。易错：只写 left（缺 be 动词）或 has left（主动，语义反）。 61. 答案 has seen。 than any person alive has (ever) seen，强调“至今仍没人见过”这么亮的内部，用现在完成时 has seen。易错 saw（过去时，不符 alive 至今）。 62. 答案 stupefied。 leave sb. stupefied 是“使…目瞪口呆”，stupefy 变过去分词作宾补。易错 stupefying（现在分词表主动，语义反——是教堂让人呆住，不是教堂自己呆住）。 63. 答案 The。 空处修饰 rebuilding，表特指巴黎圣母院的那次重修，用定冠词 The（句首需大写）。冠词常考特指 the 与泛指 a/an 的区分，这里指那一次特定的重建，且位于句首需大写。 64. 答案 reviving。 介词 by 后接动名词，by reviving it。易错 revive（谓语）或 to revive（不定式），by 表方式一律接 -ing。 65. 答案 lengths。 go to great lengths 是固定搭配，“竭尽全力”，length 变复数 lengths。易错 length（单数，搭配错）。 第三部分 写作（范文与解析） 第一节 应用文（通知）· 参考范文 NOTICE To

Student Union 【解析】 格式上，通知没有 Dear…/Yours 这类书信套话，标题 NOTICE 居中，落款写单位 Student Union（不是李华个人），右对齐。三个要点都覆盖到了：时间地点（October 8 – November 8 / school library and English corner）、活动内容（book exhibitions, reading salons, a speech contest）、号召参与（Everyone is welcome）。语言上用了 launching、a wide range of、entitled、warmly invited、sincerely hope 这类通知常用表达，主动语态更有号召力；词数约 100，在“60 左右”基础上把报名方式和亮点补清楚即可。 第二节 读后续写 · 参考范文 Deciding to follow the stream, Mia gripped Leo's hand tightly and stepped off the trail. Branches scratched her arms, but she kept her eyes fixed on the water that whispered downhill. Leo stumbled once and whimpered, yet her grip never loosened. Guided by Dad's words, they walked along the current, and the trees slowly thinned. After what felt like forever, a silver thread of lake flashed through the pines, and Mia's chest lifted with a sudden hope. When they finally saw the cabin lights through the trees, both children let out a breath they had been holding. Their parents burst out and gathered them into warm arms. Mia opened her palm to show Dad the whistle still there and whispered, 'We followed the stream.' He laughed and ruffled her hair, proud that she had remembered. That night Leo slept with his pinecone, and Mia carried away something quiet but true: when you are lost, trust what you know, and keep going. 【解析一 · 续写思路】 这篇续写的关键，是把前文埋下的'线'接住。爸爸说过顺着溪水往下走就能到湖边，而 Para 1 给的开头正是 follow the stream，所以第一段就写顺溪而下、最后见湖——和前文严丝合缝，顺理成章。Para 2 给的是 cabin lights，自然收成一个团圆结尾。两段分工很清楚：第一段写'怎么脱困'（离岸、沿溪、见湖，情绪从紧张转到看见希望），第二段写'重逢与成长'（父母拥抱、爸爸夸她记住了办法、点出主题）。人物性格要保住：Mia 冷静、Leo 胆小依赖，和原文一致；基调由怕转稳。两条格式红线必须守：两段都得用给定首句开头，一个字不能改；保持原文第三人称、一般过去时；续写每段约 120 词。 【解析二 · 情节描写】 动作链要清楚：gripped → stepped off → kept eyes on → stumbled → walked beside → appeared，一步一步把'走出来'的过程推出来，节奏不散。意象要闭环：开头爸爸给的应急 whistle，结尾回到 Dad 手心；Leo 的 pinecone 入睡还攥着，前后呼应，这些小细节一收，文章的匀称感就出来了。情感落点放在最后那句——when you are lost, trust what you know, and keep going，把一次迷路写成有用的成长，主题一下立住。语言上不必堆难词，whispered downhill、a silver thread of lake、let out a breath they had been holding 这类小表达画面感已够强；评卷老师看的，正是这种'用简单的词写出味道'的功夫。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语9月学情检测仿真试卷2 新高考 I 卷题型 · 满分 120 分（不含听力） 本卷不含听力部分，题号自 21 开始，与高考真题保持一致。满分 120 分，建议用时 100 分钟。 姓名：____________ 班级：____________ 学号：____________ 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Inside Strawberry Arena in Stockholm, thousands of sweating men and women are puffing after a gruelling mix of running and strength training. They have run a kilometre, rowed, lunged, and pushed a sled. A respectable race time is about 90 minutes; the fittest finish in under an hour. This cross between a relay race and high-intensity interval training is called Hyrox. The name is believed to be a mix of "hybrid" and "rock star". At the first race, in Hamburg in 2017, some 650 people took part. Last season more than 1.5 million athletes lined up across 105 events in 35 countries; in the 2026-27 season over 2 million are expected to compete. The format has set pulses racing. The hashtag #hyrox has been viewed more than 500 million times. Big brands have taken the hint: Puma, Red Bull and Amazon now sponsor the series. In June, a private-equity firm agreed to buy a majority stake, proving this is now a business, not just a hobby. The boom is partly explained by gym culture. Hyrox adds a social element to a usually solitary pursuit, and there is the adrenaline rush of competition. Participants often turn races into mini-holidays, visiting new cities with friends. The sport attracts racers of all ages. The average age is 36, but the oldest at the championships was 75. It is kinder on the body than CrossFit because it does not require complex weightlifting. This may explain why it appeals to retired athletes as well as hobbyists. Will Hyrox run out of breath? Tickets can cost over 150 pounds, and some grumble they are scarce. But its co-founder believes the format has room to grow, and hopes it will be in the Olympics in 2032. 21. What is Hyrox according to the passage? A mix of running and strength training done as a race. A traditional marathon held once a year in Hamburg. A weightlifting contest for professionals only. A social-media challenge with no real activity. 22. What can we learn about Hyrox's growth from the passage? It is sponsored only by small local fitness clubs. It has grown from 650 participants in 2017 to over 1.5 million last season. It attracts mainly teenagers under the age of 18. It has stopped expanding since the 2025 season. 23. Why does the author mention CrossFit in the last paragraph? To show CrossFit is more popular than Hyrox. To prove the Olympics accepted CrossFit first. To explain why Hyrox is gentler on the body. To complain that Hyrox is too expensive. B Apple kicked off its most important product event in years on Wednesday, introducing a truly new iPhone, a new chief executive, and higher prices. The headline is the first foldable iPhone, which starts at $1,999. The iPhone Duo, almost like a tablet when open, fits in a pocket and lets users run more than one app at a time. It comes in white and dark gray. Equally important was the man introducing it. John Ternus took over as Apple's CEO last week, becoming its third CEO since 1997. Hopes are high that this longtime hardware engineer can spark a new wave of innovation. Ternus smiled as he walked on stage: "We've been imagining quite a lot." The bad news for buyers was the price rise. The cost of memory chips inside has jumped five times since last autumn, pushing Apple to raise prices to protect its profits. The Duo's larger screen lets users watch a video while texting, or read an email beside a message. Its "crease" — where the screen folds — is almost invisible, unlike on many Android phones. One trade-off is weight: the two halves make it bulkier than other iPhones. For the new Pro models, Apple stressed on-device AI powered by its faster A20 Pro chip, and a camera that opens and closes like a human pupil. Foldable phones are not new — Samsung launched its first in 2019. But the category has stalled, with shipments falling 15% this year. Apple's entry, experts say, will be a shot in the arm for the whole field. 24. What is the most important product introduced at the event? The first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo. A new Mac computer with a faster chip. A cheap smartphone under $1,000. A smartwatch that tracks sleep. 25. What can we infer about John Ternus? He was the company's founder back in 1997. He is a new CEO who may bring more innovation. He opposes the idea of foldable phones. He used to lead the software department only. 26. Why did Apple raise its prices? To compete with cheaper Android phones. To fund a new factory in Europe. Because memory chip costs rose sharply. Because iPhone sales increased sharply. 27. What is the author's attitude toward Apple's entry into foldables? Doubtful that it will sell at all. Certain that it will fail like others. Uninterested in the whole field. Positive that it may revive the category. C When Ford opened its first large overseas plant in Manchester in 1911, it set the route for carmakers going global. Over a century later, with Ford in retreat, China's cheap but advanced cars are roaring, and its firms are becoming global giants. When localising production, not all advantages travel — but many do, to the dismay of foreign rivals. China's mighty carmakers, making about a quarter of the world's cars, have competitors on the run. A price war at home, as the market shrinks, has pushed exports up. In five years foreigners' share of China's market has halved, while exports rose seven-fold. In 2026 exports could hit 10 million vehicles. There are good reasons to build closer to buyers: to cut shipping costs and avoid tariffs, and to suit local taste. Chinese firms already assemble cars across the developing world. But Europe is their biggest prize. In the second quarter, Chinese carmakers took 11% of western Europe's sales, passing Japanese rivals. Tougher rules are coming: the EU's new law would tie subsidies to local content. Chinese carmakers are updating plans fast. BYD is opening a plant in Hungary; Chery will use part of Nissan's British factory; Geely will build at a Ford plant in Spain. A new factory takes about three years; buying an old one is quicker. China's edge comes from lean structures, streamlined manufacturing and vertical integration. Chinese cars use 1,000-2,000 parts, while European rivals wrangle 3,000-10,000. China has also mastered the "software-defined vehicle". All this makes it quicker to develop new models — about two years, versus double for foreigners. Much of this advantage will remain as production moves abroad. Local labour may matter less: Chinese carmakers are building "dark factories" so automated that no lights are needed. China speed will not slow soon. 28. What does the passage mainly discuss? How Ford lost its lead in the car market. Why European carmakers are closing factories. China's carmakers expanding into global markets. The history of the electric vehicle since 1911. 29. What pushed Chinese car exports to rise? Higher tariffs imposed by the EU. A shrinking home market and a price war. Ford's retreat from Britain. Falling costs of local labour in China. 30. What advantage do Chinese carmakers have over European rivals? They use far more parts per car. They sell only in developing countries. Lean structures and faster development. They rely on older factory buildings. 31. What does the phrase "dark factories" in the last paragraph mean? Factories that produce cars at night only. Plants powered entirely by solar energy. Old factories bought from European rivals. Highly automated plants needing almost no lighting. D Elon Musk sent dozens of self-driving Cybercabs without steering wheels or brake pedals onto the streets of Austin, Texas, betting that Americans will overcome their fear of rides with "no control". The gold-colored Teslas give passengers no way to take control in an emergency. Tesla shares had suffered amid falling sales, but rose over 5% on hopes the taxis will catch on. "No steering wheel, no pedals," Tesla teased before the launch. Musk later wrote, "A Storm of Cybercabs." He must move quickly: Tesla trails leader Waymo in cars deployed and trips done. To catch up, it must show its camera-only system can safely avoid pedestrians. Rivals add radar and lidar. Even if the tech works, Americans need convincing. A February Pew survey found seven in ten U.S. adults were "not too" or "not at all" comfortable in a driverless car. Only 7% said they would be "extremely" or "very" comfortable. Tesla's stock was hit last year after Musk joined politics, sparking protests and boycotts. It posted a second straight sales drop and lost its crown as the top EV maker to China's BYD. Regulators signaled he still has convincing to do. Tesla lacks approval for its partial self-driving software in most EU countries. In the U.S., several investigations are open. One examines crashes in poor visibility, including one that killed a pedestrian. Another looks at cars running red lights. The pressure rose when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a fourth inquiry into the Cybercab itself, asking whether a car with no wheel, pedals or mirrors meets federal safety rules. Carmakers may normally self-certify their cars, but the agency will scrutinize how much of Tesla's case rests on the claim that old rules simply don't apply. 32. What is special about the Cybercab? It has no steering wheel or brake pedals. It has a driver who can take control. It is slower than a normal taxi. It runs only on solar power. 33. Why does Tesla need to "move quickly"? Its stock price keeps falling fast. It trails Waymo in deployment. Regulators banned all its cars. Customers demanded cheaper rides. 34. What do the Pew survey results suggest? Most Americans love driverless cars. Only 7% oppose the technology. Public comfort with driverless cars is low. Tesla leads all rivals in safety. 35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? The Cybercab easily meets all safety rules. Carmakers must always self-certify their vehicles. The Cybercab will soon replace human taxis. Regulators question whether the driverless design is legal. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的七个选项（A–G）中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are Teenagers Growing Dimmer? Every three years the OECD releases the results of international school tests taken by 15-year-olds across the world. There were reasons to hope that the latest data, published this month, would bring positive news. Policymakers dared hope that, with the pandemic behind us, grades might start to rebound. ____(36)____ In rich countries, scores in all three subjects have fallen further. In reading, the decline is even speeding up. Anyone who cares about today's young — and tomorrow's economies — should be alarmed. The OECD's project, known as PISA, creates an international league table. This year, as in almost every round since 2000, Asian school systems rule the roost. ____(37)____ The bigger picture, though, is one of long-term decline. Average scores in 23 OECD countries peaked around 2012 and have fallen ever since. In both maths and reading, today's 15-year-olds test at levels a 14-year-old might have reached a decade ago. ____(38)____ Falling scores also deepen worries about technology. ____(39)____ The share of nine-year-olds in America who read for pleasure fell from nearly 60% in the 1990s to 37% now. Weak reading drags down other subjects too. PISA may itself share some blame, by sending reformers down a weak path. When the tests began in 2000, Finland topped the table, and many copied its model of less front-of-class teaching. ____(40)____ Test scores are not the measure of a person. But good grades predict better health and longer lives — so it is time for reformers to hit the books. A. Screens are clearly pulling children away from books. B.
