（05）Kids in the U.S.have made significant gains in math and science and score above average on international fourthandeighthgrade tests，though Asian countries have the biggest share in both，an international study found.
__1__ An AP poll in June,2008 found that nearly two in five people believe American students do worse on math and science tests than those in most of the developed countries.“Not true，”said Ina V．S.Mullis，a Boston College research professor and codirector of the study.“The Asian countries are far ahead of the rest of developed countries，but mostly the developed countries are relatively similar，and the United States might be one of the leaders of that group，depending on whether you're talking about math or science in the fourth or the eighth grade.”
Conducted every four years，the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study is widely used to measure the knowledge and skills of elementary middle school students around the world.__2__
The study compares the United States with other rich，industrialized countries as well as many poorer nations.__3__ However，compare the U．S.with similarly rich countries，and its performance drops to the middle of the pack，said Andrew Coulson，a representative to the international group that administers the test.
__4__ The state tests required by the No Child Left Behind Law also show similar results， indicating progress in math and less progress in science.The 2002 law，which has become as unpopular as its champion，former President George W．Bush，requires annual state tests and imposes penalties（加以惩罚）on schools that fail to make progress.Outgoing Education Secretary Margaret Spellings said those findings show the need for the federal No Child Left Behind Law.“The flat scores remind us that we can't afford to be content，”Spellings said.“Instead，we_must_pick_up_the_pace. ”
第一节 根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D、E中选出最适合放入短文空缺处的选项，并将序号及相应的答案写在答题纸上。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A．Some believe the study gives too optimistic a view of the U．S.by including poorer countries.

C．The United States has a long way to go to lead the world in math and science.
D．Regardless，the international findings generally agree with the United States' National Assessment of Educational Progress.
E．In 2007,48 countries took part in eighthgrade tests，and 36 countries took part in fourthgrade tests.

__2__Whether the characters are taken from real life or purely imaginary，they may become our companions and friends.In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times.The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances.__3__By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings.When human friends desert us，good books are always ready to give us friendship，sympathy，and encouragement.
__4__Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences，but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some faroff place，a book will help us when nothing else can.To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no train or airplane to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our hearts' desire.Through books we may get the excitement of dangerous adventure without danger.We can climb noble mountains，brave the freeze of an Antarctic winter，or cross the extremely hot sands of the desert，all without hardship.In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mix with the cheerful crowds of the Paris roads; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island._Indeed，through_books_the_whole_world_is_ours_for_the asking.
