82、 Western countries that have Anglo-Saxon origins, governments and schools have strict control structures in place and schools are driven by standardised curricula with tests and targets to ensure uniform outcomes (在许多起源于盎格鲁撒克逊的西方国家，政府和学校都有严格的控制结构，学校由标准化的课程和考试目标驱动，以确保uniform outcomes。)”可知，学校用的是标准化的课程

83、，所以应该是想要一样的教育结果。所以猜测uniform outcomes是“相同的结果”。故选A项。【32题详解】推理判断题。由文章第三段“Slow education is a concept of ecological literacy. Michael Stone and Zenobia Barlow have put together a collection of authors in Ecological Literacy: Educating our Children for a Sustainable World to give us ways to adapt to the

87、果而不在乎过程，而我们应该更注意学生学习的过程。所以我们应该重新思考在学校怎么教学生，教什么内容。故选B项。【34题详解】主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“The process of education is not about supplying students with lumps of information to be repeated on demand. It is about enabling students to learn how to learn. It is also about giving them opportunities to hear what others

88、have learnt (knowledge) and to then discuss, argue, and reflect on this knowledge to gain a greater understanding of its truth for them and of how this knowledge will be of use to them.(教育的过程并不是向学生提供大量信息，供他们根据需要重复。它是关于让学生学会如何学习的。这也是为了让他们有机会倾听他人所学（知识），然后讨论、辩论和反思这些知识，从而更好地了解这些知识的真实性，以及这些知识对他们有何用处。)”以及

89、前文可知，文章主要“慢教育”理念和益处，所以A项Slow Schools- connecting children to life(慢教育-将儿童与生活联系起来。)符合文意。故选A项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ecoducts: The Safe Way to Cross the RoadHow does an animal cross a road safely?
