Why did Ruby put a peg on her music?
答案: C
答案:C
找到写peg的那句,再读它前一句。乐谱“fluttered in the breeze”(在风中飘动),所以她用夹子把它夹住,答案是C。A容易误选,但这个办法是Mr Kowalczyk在她刚来的第一周、也就是18个月前教的,不是独奏前才说的。

阅读理解是ASET考试(Academic Selective Entrance Test)的第一项,考孩子能否读懂并诠释所读的内容。现在读五年级的孩子将于2027年3月6日参加考试,用于2028年七年级入学。

它考孩子能不能真正读懂一篇文章:它写了什么、暗示了什么、作者为什么这样写。ASET四项考试旨在衡量解决问题、推理、写作中的创造性思维、理解、诠释,以及把已知概念用到新情境中的能力,这一项最看重理解和诠释。
文本可能包括小说、非虚构作品、诗歌和戏剧,以及图示、表格、图表或地图。材料可能来自任何学科,但答题所需的信息都印在试卷上,不需要专门的学科知识。所以要养成的习惯是回到原文找依据,而不是靠对话题的了解。
它是第一项:依次为阅读理解、书面表达、数量推理、抽象推理。孩子读完马上进入写作,之后才有10分钟的休息。
每项考试分量相同,因为4项考试权重相同。开头碰到一篇难读的文章,并不决定整个上午的表现,所以告诉孩子:放下这篇,继续往下做就好。
我们每套练习测试的第一项都是完整的阅读理解,题量和时间与真实考试相同,每题4个选项。文本和题目都是我们原创的,覆盖下面列出的十类阅读技能。
这门考试共有15套练习测试,其中练习测试1免费,其余需要付费计划(练习测试在英文应用中进行)。真实考试纸笔作答,所以也请把西澳教育部(Department of Education)的练习卷打印出来,让孩子拿着铅笔做一次。
这三道题是我们原创的,出自短故事The Solo:吹短号的女孩Ruby在公园里等着上台独奏。一道找细节,一道问短语的意思,一道问Ruby的感受。题目为英文,解析为中文。
每道题都直接给出答案和讲解。和孩子一起读完故事,再一起看讲解,请孩子找出能证明正确答案的词句。
Ruby had practised the eight bars so often that she could hear them in the hum of the fridge. Even so, when the band filed onto the rotunda in the park and she saw the crowd spread across the grass on picnic rugs, the notes seemed to slide out of her head like water through a gutter.
She sat at the end of the second row, where the cornets always sat, and fixed her eyes on the music stand. The paper fluttered in the breeze. She pinned it with a peg from her pocket, the way Mr Kowalczyk had shown her in her first week, eighteen months ago, when she had been too small to reach the stand without a cushion.
The first two pieces went by in a blur of marching rhythms. Then the bandmaster lowered his baton, and the park went quiet in that particular way that meant people were waiting.
Ruby lifted her cornet. Her lips felt as dry as paper. She glanced up and found Mr Kowalczyk watching, not her, but the drummer, as though nothing unusual were about to happen at all. It was such an ordinary look that something in her chest loosened.
She played. The first note wobbled, and she heard it wobble, and she kept going anyway. By the fourth bar the sound had steadied and grown, rolling out over the rugs and the gum trees and the café on the corner. When she lowered the cornet, a toddler near the front clapped before anyone else, and then everyone did.
Afterwards, packing up, she asked Mr Kowalczyk why he hadn't looked at her during the solo.
"Why would I watch a thing I already knew would be fine?" he said, and went to help with the drum.
Why did Ruby put a peg on her music?
答案: C
答案:C
找到写peg的那句,再读它前一句。乐谱“fluttered in the breeze”(在风中飘动),所以她用夹子把它夹住,答案是C。A容易误选,但这个办法是Mr Kowalczyk在她刚来的第一周、也就是18个月前教的,不是独奏前才说的。
'the notes seemed to slide out of her head like water through a gutter.' This comparison suggests that Ruby
答案: B
答案:B
想一想水流过排水沟是什么样子:又快又抓不住。看到观众后,她熟悉的乐曲好像都流走了,这是紧张,答案是B。C不对,第一句说她练得太多,连冰箱的嗡嗡声里都能听见这段音乐。
Why did something in Ruby's chest 'loosen' when she saw Mr Kowalczyk watching the drummer?
答案: A
答案:A
看紧挨着前面的一句:“It was such an ordinary look.”他表现得好像没什么特别的事,独奏就不再显得那么重大,她也放松了,答案是A。B容易误选,但结尾说明他没有忘记:他“already knew”独奏会没问题。
围绕这篇故事和一篇说明文的更多题目,见ASET阅读理解样题页面。
按每题约一分钟的速度,没有时间每道题都把整篇文章重读一遍。先读题目,再回到文中相关的段落,能省下不少时间。
孩子应该把该题的答题位置留空,并在题号旁画一个星号,有时间再回来做。
按手册的说法,时间过半时,大约做完一半题目。
手册的建议是先排除明显错误的选项,把四个选项缩小到两个。
手册说要把剩下的题都填上答案。
手册建议按顺序作答,以减少答案错位的风险。如果答案错了位,孩子应该这样做:不要擦掉答案,立刻告诉监考员。草稿可以写在试题册上,但阅卷人看不到,所以在文章上划线不会有任何损失。
手册只列出文本类型,没有列出题型,所以这十类是我们自己分的。做完一套练习测试后,先练丢分最多的那一类:每个页面都有方法讲解、三道例题和要留意的陷阱。
监考老师不能解释题目,也不能告诉孩子某个词的意思。词的前后句子里藏着线索,所以在家就练习从上下文推出词义。
教育部的建议是仔细读手册,并做一遍ASET练习卷,并建议家长考前和孩子一起读一遍手册。多读各种文字也有帮助:故事、新闻、诗歌和时刻表。从容的准备计划见GATE考试怎么准备。
ASET手册介绍了每项考试的内容和评分方式,附例题、技巧和常见问题解答。
练习测试1会批改每一道题,并按技能显示结果:孩子已经掌握的部分,以及接下来要练的三项技能。
