问题     In the 1997 general-election campaign, "Education, Education" was Tony Blair’s pet phrase. Times change quickly. Education is going rapidly out of fashion. "Learning" (to be exact, "lifelong learning") is New Labour’s new buzzword (时髦语). The shift from "education" to "learning" reflects more than a change of language. It stems from both educational research and left-wing ideas. During the 1980s, British educationalists got some new American ideas. One was the notion that traditional examinations do not test the full range of people’s abilities. Another was the belief that skills are not necessarily learned from teachers in a conventional classroom. People can pick them up in all sorts of ways.
    All this echoed left-wing ideas that traditional teaching methods were not sufficiently adaptable to the needs of individual learners. Advocates of lifelong learning argue that it merely describes what has changed in education in the past decade. And there are now hundreds of schemes in which pupils learn outside the classroom.
    Until now, education has been changing from below. In the next few weeks, the government will help from above. One of its main projects for lifelong learning is about to begin its first pilot programmes. With funding of $ 44 million in its first year, it will coordinate a new network of "learning centres" throughout the country. Traditional institutions, such as schools and colleges, will provide training at some non-traditional places of learning, such as supermarkets, pubs, and churches. The theory is that in such places students will feel more at ease, and therefore will be better motivated, than in a classroom.
    The new schemes allow consumers of education to exercise complete choice over where, what and when they learn. In the rest of the state-run education sector, the government still seems to be committed to restricting choices as much as possible. If these programmes succeed, they could improve the skills of Britain’s workforce.
All the following statements are true EXCEPT that______.
选项 A、pupils can learn skills outside the classroom
B、students will be better motivated in a classroom
C、the new schemes are intended to improve the skills of Britain’s workforce
D、traditional teaching methods cannot satisfy the needs of individual learners
答案B
解析 本题是一道判断是非题。问以下哪个选项：是不正确的。针对四个选项所给的内容，利用查阅式阅读法，结合原文相关信息，我们发现文章第三段最后一句指出，这样安排的理论根据是：学生在这些场合学习比在教室里更放松，因此学习积极性更高。因此，本题的正确答案应是B“学生在课堂上学习积极性会更高”，这个说法是与原文不符的。A是符合文章内容的。第二段提到，这些观点应和了左派人士的观点，在左派人士看来，传统的教学方法不足以适应学生的个体需要。主张终身学习的人认为，这种学习只不过是对过去10年发生的变化的反映，而且，现在已经有数以百计的让学生在课堂外学习的计划。C“新的教学计划旨在提高英国劳动力的技能”。我们可以在最后一段第三句中找到这些新项目的目的。D“传统教学方法不能满足学生的个体需要”。文章第二段明确指出了这一点。
