Oklahoma School Testing Program for English Language Arts

Purpose

This testing assessment system utilizes different types of assessment to gather multiple pieces of evidence to provide timely, relevant, actionable, and reliable information about what students know and can do relative to a set of standards.

Test Structure, Format, and Scoring

The English Language Arts operational test is meant to be administered in two sessions within one day with a break between sessions or on two instructional days in a row. Each section of the test consists of 25 operational items and 5 field-test items.

Short constructed-response items provide students with the opportunity to respond to items in their own words. A typical response is 1-3 sentences. Each multiple-choice item is scored as correct or incorrect. Technology-enhanced items are worth one point and are scored as correct or incorrect.

Test Administration Details

Paper/pencil testing is administrated in this test. Due to the nature of a paper test booklet, students may have to flip pages to read passages and to read the associated test items.

Students will be able to use scratch paper and/or unmarked grid(方格) paper for the paper. The scratch paper must be collected and destroyed by the test administrator immediately following the test.

21. How many test items are there in total?

A.25 B.30 C.50 D.60

22. What is prohibited in the test?

A. Taking away scratch paper. B. Using a Pencil.

C. Using unmarked grid paper. D. Flipping pages.

23. Where is the text probably taken from?

A. A textbook. B. A course plan. C. An exam paper. D. An exam guideline.

It is October again. It has been a year since my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer, a year since she started her good, brave fight. It has been a year marked with so many milestones, so many shared smiles and secret fears.

Usually, children, with eyes that see all and minds that are still free to wonder, are extraordinarily accepting the changes in routine, the shift in seasons. This week, however, when I took my two younger boys with me for a visit to Mom's without telling her in advance, Sean ran into her bedroom to greet her, then quickly returned to the living room to talk to me. "Mom," my four-year-old whispered, careful not to be overheard or offending, "Grandma has no hair.” Mom came through her surgery that removed the tumor(腫瘤) in her lung with faith and grace. She also came through thin and tired. And the side effect was total hair loss. It should grow back eventually, but my mother decided to have a wig(假發) to cover her head. She wears it mostly for the comfort of others. When she is alone, she usually leaves her head uncovered, finding the wig uncomfortable when unnecessary.

"Grandma has no hair," Sean said, because we had caught her by surprise.

"I know, Sean. Isn't it funny?" I asked him as my mom joined us in the living room. We explained to him that Grandma had to take medicine that made her hair go away, but it would come back. "Would you like to touch my head, Sean?" my mother asked as my son stared at her, his blue eyes filled with questions and curiosity. It is surprising to see your mother-or anyone you love-without hair, but surprisingly it's something that you can get used to quickly. We are, after all, not really these bodies-these are just the shells that transport who we are, and no matter what the physical changes, those connected by love seem to be able to recognize their own.

24. What has happened to Grandma over the year?

A. She has refused others' visits.

B. She has pulled through the cancer.

C. She has lost her fight with the tumor.

D. She has recovered without side effects.

25. Why was Sean surprised when visiting Grandma?

A. Because he found Grandma tired and thin.

B. Because just overheard Grandma's cancer.

C. Because he couldn't accept Grandma's appearance.

D. Because he had never seen Grandma hairless before.

26. Which of the following can best describe Grandma?

A. Loving and optimistic. B. Loyal and honest.

C. Humble and committed. D. Generous and humorous.

27. What message does the author convey in the text?

A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Never judge a book by its cover.

C. Love goes beyond physical changes. D. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

C

Users of Google Gemini,the tech giant's artificial-intelligence model, recently noticed that asking it to create images of Vikings, or German soldiers from 1943 produced surprising results: hardly any of the people depicted were white. Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors. Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap; instead, it fell into another one, depicting George Washington as black. Now attention has moved on to the chatbot's text responses, which turned out to be just as surprising.

Gemini happily provided arguments in favor of positive action in higher education, but refused to provide arguments against. It declined to write a job ad for a fossil-fuel lobby group(游說團體)， because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize "the interests of corporations over public well-being". Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization, it replied that the conflict in Gaza is "complex"; asked if Elon Musk's tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was "difficult to say". You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias.

Inadequate testing may be partly to blame. Google lags behind OpenAl, maker of the better-known ChatGPT. As it races to catch up, Google may have cut corners. Other chatbots have also had controversial launches.

Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover odd behaviors,which can be swiftly addressed, lets firms move faster,provided they are prepared to weather(經受住) the potential risks and bad publicity, observes Ethan Mollick, a professor at Wharton Business School.

But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted, or "fine-tuned", to produce these responses. This raises questions about Google's culture. Is the firm so financially secure, with vast profits from internet advertising, that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering? Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity, but a responsibility, to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda? All eyes are now on Google's boss, Sundar Pichai. He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too?

28. What do the words"this trap" underlined in the first paragraph refer to?

A. Having a racial bias. B. Responding to wrong texts.

C. Criticizing political figures. D. Going against historical facts.

29. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. Gemini's refusal to make progress.

B. Gemini's failure to give definite answers.

C. Gemini's prejudice in text responses.

D.Gemini's avoidance of political conflicts.

30. What does Ethan Mollick think of Gemini's early launch?

A. Creative. B. Promising. C. Illegal. D. Controversial.

31. What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph?

A. Its security is doubted. B. It lacks financial support.

C. It needs further improvement. D. Its employees are irresponsible.

D

"Tie an Italian's hands behind his back," runs an old joke, "and he'll be speechless." This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it.

Susan Goldin-Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, "Thinking with Your Hands". It is a masterly tour through a lifetime's research.

Virtually everyone gestures, not just Italians. Experimental subjects, told after a research session that they were being watched for gestures, apologize for not having made any-but were doing so the entire time. People born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. A woman born without arms but with"phantom limb syndrome(幻肢綜合征)"describes how she uses her phantom arms when she talks-but not when she walks. All this suggests that cognition is, to some extent, "embodied"; thinking is not all done in your head.

In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are told to lie and say it jumped. They do so in words-while their hands make a running motion.People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women's height; they can be shown to have biases of which they may be unaware.

In "The Crown",a historical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions, which could be dangerous; they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating. No one who reads Susan's book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a sophisticated aid to both.

32. Why does the author mention the old joke in Paragraph 1?

A. To present an argument. B. To describe a scene.

C. To lead in the topic. D. To clarify a doubt.

33. Which statement will Susan Goldin-Meadow probably agree with?

A. The disabled seldom use gestures. B. Gestures literally embody cognition.

C. Thinking only occurs inside the brain. D. Gestures are improper in communication.

34. What does the author try to prove in the last two paragraphs?

A. Gestures may express what the speaker really thinks.

B. People are unaware of the meanings of their gestures.

C. Gesturing during speech shows only a lack of control.

D. Speakers can lie more easily with the help of gestures.

35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. Speech: A Direct Channel of Information

B. Gestures: A Vital Form of Communication

C. Italian's Body Language: A National Stereotype

D. Thinking with Your Hands: A Lifetime's Research

We watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts. We exercise and take calcium to protect our bones. We use sunscreen to protect our skin. But what can we do to protect our eyes, all year round? A lot. 36

Invest in quality sunglasses

To shield your eyes, wear sunglasses certified to block out 99 to 100 per cent of UVA and UVB light._37_. "In fact, if the lenses are dark but not UV-protected, that's worse for your eyes, because when you're looking through dark lenses your pupils dilate, which lets more UV light inside to do damage," says Dr Esen Akpek, a professor at Johns Hopkins University.

Wear safety glasses when needed

You don't have to be doing construction work or factory work to need protective eyewear. _38_. It's estimated that up to 90 per cent of sports-related eye injuries are actually preventable with proper eye protection. "I see people who've been gardening, leaned forward and got poked in the eye by a branch," says Dr Davinder Grover, an ophthalmologist at Glaucom a Associates of Texas.

Invest in an air purifier.

_39_. Outdoor cold and wind can be drying, too, while pollution and allergens can cause irritation. In addition to lubricating eye drops, "air purifiers and humidifiers are our friends," says Akpek.

See an eye specialist regularly

Routine checkup helps maintain good eye health, so please don't forget to see an eye specialist for a checkup regularly, if possible. 40

A. Safety comes first for various outdoor activities

B. Surprisingly, dark lenses aren't necessarily the most protective

C. Indoor heating and air conditioning can dry out the air-and the eyes

D. Gardening, home repairs and sports all pose the risk of trauma to the eye

E. Not all eye problems are noticeable, and all are best treated when found early

F. By incorporating these lifestyle steps, your eyes will stay healthy throughout the year

G. We have asked experts what lifestyle steps people should take to protect their vision and eye health

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。

Our school holds an annual book fair each January, where new and used books are available for students to purchase. Our librarian, Mr. Egan, is the school sponsor(主辦者) for it. Traditionally, the tenth-grade students are responsible for the planning, set-up, and selling at the fair. I am sure that Mr.Egan consulted our teacher, Ms. Cates, for suggestions as to who would be the student directors, and I was pleasantly surprised when he approached me to be one of the students in charge. I was even more surprised when he told me that the student I would be working Charlie and I have known each other since kindergarten but have never been close. Ever since we were partners for the science project last year, there is very little we choose to say to each other. Needless to say, the science project fell short of our expectations. In light of that event, I was shocked that Mr. Egan and Ms. Cates found us a suitable match.

At the meeting with Mr. Egan, we divided the responsibilities between us. I would be in charge of setting up the room and getting the volunteers to work the sale for all three days. Charlie would be in charge of all the books. We were both quite satisfied with our jobs, and even more satisfied that there would be little contact between us.

With only two weeks to plan, I knew I could not waste time. I asked John and Rachel to help me with the set-up and twelve other classmates to work at the fair. I figured that, between Mr. Egan, the friends who volunteered to help, and me, we would be just fine.

Meanwhile, I tried on two separate occasions to start a conversation with Charlie about the progress he was, “Everything’s cool”.

On the day of the set-up, my friends and I arrived, only to find Charlie with his head in his hands, surrounded by a million boxes of books. I asked him, "Charlie, what's wrong?"

注意：

1.續寫詞數應為150左右;

2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。

Paragraph 1: He responded in despair, "There are a lot more books here than I expected."

Paragraph 2: After the book fair was over, I couldn't stop wondering why Mr. Egan put us together.

One possible version :

He responded in despair ," There are a lot more books here than I expected ." My initial impulse was to say ," This is your mess . Figure it out yourself ." But instead I said ," Let me see if I can get some help ." Charlie nodded , appreciating the support . Then , we , together with other helpers , rolled up our sleeves and started sorting them by genre . Hours passed by as we worked side by side . Slowly but surely , the chaos began to transform into a perfect fair , and our avoidance of contact into smooth communication . I was surprised that the book fair was a success and even more surprised that we could actually work well together .(98 words )

After the book fair was over , I couldn ' t stop wondering why Mr . Egan put us together . I approached him , eager to figure out his intention of this unlikely pairing . However , his reply was quite simple ," I knew that this would be a great experience for both of you . It wasn ' t so much about running the book fair as it was a lesson in how important it is to communicate and to work alongside others when necessary ." Hearing what he said and thinking of what happened between Charlie and me , I couldn ' t help but smile . Sometimes , the most valuable lessons are learned amidst the challenges we face and the people we least expect to be our allies .(100 words )

他絕望地回答說：“這里的書比我想象的要多得多.”我最初的沖動是要說，“這就是你的爛攤子。你自己弄清楚。”但我卻說：“讓我看看我能不能得到一些幫助。”查理點了點頭，感謝大家對他的支持。然后，我們和其他助手一起卷起袖子，開始按類型進行分類。.幾個小時過去了，我們一起工作了。慢慢地，混亂開始轉變為一個完美的集市，而我們的避免接觸變成了順利的交流。.幾個小時過去了，我們一起工作了。慢慢地，混亂開始轉變為一個完美的集市，而我們的避免接觸變成了順利的交流。

書展結束后，我不禁想知道為什么伊根把我們放在了一起。我走近他，急于想弄清楚他對這對不太可能的配對的意圖。然而，他的回答很簡單，“我知道這對你們倆來說都是一次很好的經歷。這與其說是為了舉辦書展，而是為了教訓，在必要時交流和與他人一起工作是多么重要。”聽到他說的話，想到我和查理之間發生的事情，我忍不住笑了。有時，在我們面臨的挑戰和我們所面臨的最不希望成為我們的盟友中吸取最寶貴的教訓

Dear diary , it ' s the 10th day of my bicycle journey from Beijing to Mongolia .(17)(19) Tomorrow will be one of the hardest days . To be honest , it ' s not the physical challenge of cycling 10 hours per day , nor is it the burning July sun in this desert - like part of northern China .(17) The real challenge is the loneliness of cycling for days without any company (1).(18) The local people in the cities are so friendly , but I ' ve only just been able to make friends with people who can speak English . But tomorrow morning I ' ll have to say goodbye to the lovely family that housed me . I stayed here for an extra two days after this family helped me order food at a restaurant and invited me to stay at their home .(19) They generously offered me a ride around their town , and amazing introductions to local food and tradition . I ' ll miss them a lot as I continue riding north through the desert . I write this now , not just to motivate myself to continue , but to remind myself that each new friend I make on this trip could provide materials for my new book .(20) As I sit here , looking out into an empty desert road , I feel so thankful for the friends I ' ve made and so inspired by the experience of traveling .

學好高中英語的方法

(一)學習之前的準備必不可少

1、對照。根據教材譯文，將英漢兩種語言逐篇逐句逐詞進行認真對照，從中領會每個單詞的意思，對已經劃線和能夠明白含義的生詞先撇下不管，對不明白意思的生詞就靠對照方法，查出英文生詞的漢語意思，實在查不出的，就依據譯文意思進行猜測，并用漢字標注在英文生詞下面，然后再將答案全記在思考、練習、測試題的后面。這樣比起用字典一個一個查生詞、一點一點苦苦思考不會的難題要簡單省事得多，自然就節省了許多時間和力氣。

2、劃線。每篇課文后的生詞分單詞、詞組、地名人名三部分，可以將它們從課文中全部找出，并分別在單詞下劃上單橫線、詞組下劃上彎曲線、地名人名下劃上雙橫線，以表示這些生詞在課文后就有，以免日后在讀課文時，再胡亂猜測、到處查找。

3、瀏覽。將書從頭到尾看一遍，懂不懂、難不難、會不會先別管它，只是為了增強感性認識而已。

(二)學習必須要理解

4、細讀。將每個章節細細品讀，力求對每個詞句都做到真正理解。

5、粗讀。將新書內容簡單地粗讀一遍，對不認識的生詞反復閱讀兒遍，記住它到底由哪幾個字母組成，以便增加印象，日后再屢次碰到它時，自然就會認識了。先將難題甩下，不被難題困擾，以免從一開始就產生畏難情緒。

6、摘記。要學會自我加工、壓縮和簡化內容，將重點內容以只要肉眼能夠看得見的小字體，集中摘記在書的前后，便于一眼明了，和教材一樣長期保存。

7、精讀。認真閱讀書中每個字句，甚至序跋，將難題認真思考，逐一解決，力求真正掌握，不留半點疑問。

(三)練習聽讀也很重要

8、光聽。把書扔到一邊，集中全部精力，屏心靜氣地聽磁帶中的人物宣讀。

9、看聽。一邊看教材，一邊聽磁帶，認真聽磁帶中的自讀者是怎樣發音的，心里跟著默默閱讀。

10、單讀。不聽磁帶，只拿著書自己閱讀。

11、朗頌。拿著教材，自己逐篇大聲朗讀課文，仔細較正自己的口型和發音，尋找正確的感覺。

12、聽讀。拿著書，一邊聽磁帶，一邊跟著大聲閱讀。

(四)好好復習準備考試

13、背誦。考試前注重抓語法知識和單詞兩個重點，快要考試前十天左右，拼命背誦單詞、語法和摘記。

14、回顧。在考試前一天，將全書內容像過電影似的在腦中認真過濾一遍，最終達到全面理解，融會貫通。

15、做題。考試前四、五天左右，把教材和同步輔導/訓練中的思考、練習和測試題挨個做一遍，以提高自己的應試能力。

學好英語的四大技巧

語言的學習與開車一樣，都是屬于技能的訓練，而不是知識的學習。學好任何一門技能都有它內在的方法，即“道”，烹飪有之，所謂“色香味聚全”，駕駛亦然，所謂“人車如一”，而英語學習也一樣。

根據自己多年的英語學習的體驗，個人以為要想真正學好英語，一般要注重以下四個要素，在此與大家一起探討一下：

第一是興趣。

對英語具有濃厚的興趣，英語學習差不多就“成功了一半”。有了興趣，就好比是“潤滑劑”，使發動機能夠正常地運轉，而人有了興趣，就無須外界的督促，就能夠如饑似渴地學個不停，這比天天受到外界的壓力，甚至“背水一戰”，要具備更多的積極意義。

那么如何培養學習英語的興趣呢?我認為這是個仁者見仁，智者見智的問題，我也會在后面的文章中詳細探討的。

盡管前面談到的興趣是學習英語十分重要的因素，但并非是必要的。很多英語學的好的人并非具有濃厚的興趣，究其原因之一，多是個人努力和外界的壓力所致，如考試壓力，升學壓力，工作壓力，晉升壓力。這就屬于第二點??動力??的一種。

第二點是動力。

動力好比汽車的發動機，推動汽車的前進。對英語學習不感興趣，但是具備上面所提到的外在壓力，同樣能夠“臨陣磨槍，不快也光”。除了外在壓力，內在努力也是動力的一種表現，也是學習任何一門技能所“必備”的??沒有自身的努力，就很難學到任何技能。努力學習就是指每天多花時間學習新知識;努力學習就是遇到困難以后堅持不懈;努力學習就是在別人花一分努力我花十分努力，就是在別人花十分努力我花一百分努力的表現。

第三點是正確的方法。

有了以上兩點要素以外，還需要第三點，正確的方法。沒有一個正確的方法，英語學習會很被動，時間花了不少，但效果卻不理想。看看多少人徘徊在英語學習的門外，一直無法入門，而只能“瘋狂”地pounding on stones (敲打著圍墻)，學習只能是“少慢差費”。而有了正確的方法，就好比汽車有了方向盤，就可以少走彎路，學習起來也就是“多快好省”，事半功倍了。正確的方法，可以是自己從不斷的“摸爬滾打”當中總結而來，也可以是得到名師的指點，往往名師的指點很重要，因為我們一開始學習，很難掌握一條有效的學習方法，更不用說是正確的方法了，這時候就要多請教過來人，多聽聽前輩的指點，一定會大有益處。

第四點是訓練。

光有前三點：興趣，動力，和方法，還不夠，還需要反復訓練，也是學好英語的最重要的一個要素。訓練，也就是通常所謂的“多聽，多說，多讀，多寫”。缺乏訓練，就如同學習游泳一樣，光有游泳的沖動，游泳的教練，以及一大堆游泳的理論，不進行實踐，也只能是紙上談兵。

綜合以上的四點，其重要性由弱到強??對英語不感興趣，但有外在壓力同樣可以學好。光靠死讀書，沒有正確的學習方法，也不能學好英語。如果光有學習方法，而不進行訓練，一樣一無所獲。最重要的一點是勤于訓練，唯有不斷訓練，才能提高語言技能，不斷進步。
