Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: Last month, the Florida Board of Education approved a program that will link increases in teachers' pay to improvements in students' test scores. The program will take effect next school year. It increases a teacher's pay if his or her students increase their scores on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. The test measures reading and mathematics knowledge. It is now used to decide if students will pass to the next grade level. The state gives extra money to schools whose scores are good or have increased from the year before. Normally, the money is divided among the school workers.
The new program requires all school districts in the state to list the top ten percent of teachers in each subject area. These teachers will receive an increase of five percent in their yearly pay. For an average teacher, that would be about two thousand dollars. Those who teach reading and mathematics will be judged on the test scores only. That is, how much their students have improved since the year before. Some teachers say the quality of teaching decrease if teachers are forced to compete with each other for money and praise. They fear that teachers will refuse to work in schools where many children have learning problems or do not speak English well.
Those who support the new pay programs say teachers must be judged the way other professionals are by the results of their work. And they say that using student test scores is a hue measure of a teacher's performance.

Initially the judges in the pairs figure—skating event at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City voted 5 to 4 to give the gold medal to a Russian pair,even though they had a fall during their routine.But the International Skating Union suspended the French judge for failing to reveal that she had been put under pressure to Vote for the Russians.The International Olympics Committee then decided to give a second gold to the Canadian runners-up(亚军).
The ISU,skating’s governing body, now says it intends to change the rules.In future 14 judges will judge each event,but only 7 of their scores--selected at random--will count,
The ISU won’t finally approve the new system until it meets in June but already UK Sport.the British Government’s sports body.has expressed reservations.“I remain to be convinced that the random selection system would offer the guarantees that everyone concerned with ethical sport is looking for”,says Jerry Bingham,UK Sport’s head of ethics(伦理).
A random system can still be manipulated,says Mark Dixon,a specialist on sports statistics from the Royal Statistical Society in London.“The score of one or two judges who have been nobbled(受到贿赂)may still be in the seven selected.”
Many other sports that have judges,including diving,gymnastics,and synchronized swimming.have a system that discards the highest and lowest scores.If a judge was under pressure to favour a particular team,they would tend to give it very high scores and mark down the opposition team,so their scores wouldn’t count.It works for diving,says Jeff Cook,a member of the international government body’s technical committee.“If you remove those at the top and bottom you’re left with those in the middle,SO you’re getting a reasonable average.”
Since the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, diving has tightened up in its system still further.Two separate panels of judges score different rounds of diving during top competitions.Neither panel knows the scores given by the other.“We have done this to head off any suggestion of bias.”says Cook.
Bingham urged the ISU to consider other options.“Tms should involve examining the way in which other sports deal with the problem of adjudicating(裁定)on matter of style. and presentation,”he says.
