你也來試試英國的小升初試題?
英國開始推行小學考初中的全國統(tǒng)考始于1944年,名為11 plus,取自參加考試的孩子的年齡段——11到12歲??荚嚦煽儍?yōu)秀的可以進入grammer school,直譯為文法學校,可以算是我們的重點中學吧,成績一般的就只能進入普通學校了。
和中國一樣,學校重點與否會直接影響到孩子整個中學的成績,最終當然會決定孩子能考上哪所大學。
從設立這個考試的那年起,就有越來越多的家長和教育界人士呼吁,不要折磨這么小的孩子,讓他們好好享受無憂無慮的童年吧。
32年后,蘇格蘭和威爾士在1976年取消了這個考試。又一個32年后,2008年是北愛爾蘭最后一次使用這個考試制度選拔學生?,F(xiàn)在只有英格蘭還保留有一百多家文法學校,想進入重點學校的孩子,仍需要參加11 plus的考試。
11,12歲的孩子,對語文數(shù)學,語法修辭,邏輯分析,到底應該是個什么水平?當看到BBC網(wǎng)上邀請大家試一試孩子們的考試題時,我磨拳擦掌的加入了。要不你也試一試? 10分鐘答15道題。
這是英文原題:
MOVING ONE LETTER
In these questions, one letter can be moved from the first word to the second word, to make two new words. The letters must not be otherwise arranged and both new words must make sense. Select the correct letter from those provided.
1. SCARF & RAIL?? 選項:A F R S
2. GUILT & POND 選項:L T U I
3. BLIND & SAY??? 選項:N B L I
看懂了沒有?從第一個詞里取一個字母放到第二個詞里,構成兩個新詞。
再做一下這個數(shù)學填空題:
FILL IN THE MISSING NUMBER
In each of the following sets of numbers the number in the centre bracket is found in exactly the same way as the two examples. Find the number in the middle.
9.?? 48 (6) 8, 49 (7) 7, 63 ( ) 7 ? 選項:8 6 9 7
10.??? 72 (47) 24, 28 (18) 9, 84 ( ) 33?? 選項:65 66 51 50
11.?? 3 (21) 27, 6 (25) 37, 11 ( ) 23?? 選項:1 7 9 29
找出幾組數(shù)字括號里外的邏輯關系,填空。
不知道你覺得怎樣。反正我覺得給11,12歲的孩子出這樣的題,挺難的。也許是我小時候學語文數(shù)學的時候沒有靈活地學吧?這題現(xiàn)在給中國的小學生做,他們能不能做出來?
正確答案: 1.SCARF & RAIL Answer: F - Move F from SCARF to RAIL to make SCAR and FRAIL

9. 48 (6) 8 49 (7) 7 63 ( ) 7 Answer: 9 - In each case the first number is divided by the third number to get the number in brackets.
10. 72 (47) 24 28 (18) 9 84 ( ) 33 Answer: 50 - In each case the third number is subtracted from the first number and then 1 is subtracted from the answer to get the number in brackets.
11. 3 (21) 27 6 (25) 37 11 ( ) 23 Answer: 1 - In each case the first number is doubled and the answer is subtracted from the third number to get the number in brackets.
