Question

LIKE many teachers, Cristi Derow and Jennifer Bradley have spent most of their careers giving classroom lectures to students who sat passively in their seats.
The Lewisvillle, Texas, school teachers were aware that the hours they spent on preparing lessons were too often wasted on many students. So Forestwood High School, Texas, used the “flipped (翻轉(zhuǎn)的) classroom” method of instruction. “We’ve completely done away with our lecture,” Derow said. And homework assignments “are all done in class,” Bradley said.
With the flipped concept, a student’s usual homework assignment is to watch pre-recorded lectures on their computers or smart phones.They walk into class ready to discuss the topic, collaborate(合作) with other students and work on assignments based on what they learned from the video. Free from lecturing, the teachers can use class time to look deeper into the subject and focus on difficult concept. As students change from a passive to an active role, they learn critical thinking skills, learn to collaborate and become independent learners.
Instead of doing homework assignments alone at home, students are now “working together, talking about it,” Bradley said. “If they don’t agree on an answer, they debate it and have to justify their answers. It’s a higher level of learning.”
Her students give the flipped classroom high marks.
Sarah Lee, 14, watches the 30-minute videos on a home computer. She likes the ability to rewind the tapes if she doesn't understand a concept. She also likes being able to watch the lessons on her own schedule.
One of her classmates, Dawson Depperschmidt has the same idea and thinks the time she spends in the classroom is more productive. “It gives us more time to learn at school,” Dawson said. “You get more in-depth in class.

試題分析：本文介紹了一種特殊的教學(xué)法，翻轉(zhuǎn)課堂。學(xué)生在家聽課，在學(xué)校的教室里完成老師布置的作業(yè)。這種方法還深受學(xué)生的歡迎，因?yàn)閷W(xué)生變得積極、獨(dú)立思考和合作了。
小題1:推理判斷題。根據(jù)the hours they spent on preparing lessons were too often wasted on many students. 可知，學(xué)生在講座式的課堂上并不積極。所以選C。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句話可知，這種教學(xué)方式使學(xué)生學(xué)會(huì)了批判性地思考、學(xué)會(huì)合作、獨(dú)立學(xué)習(xí)。所以選B。
小題3:詞意猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章最后一句話You get more in-depth in class.可知，改詞的意思是學(xué)到了更多東西。所以選C。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的描述可知，翻轉(zhuǎn)課堂是，老師讓學(xué)生在家看錄好的講座，然后到課堂上完成作業(yè)。d不對(duì)。所以選A。
