Passage Three
[33]A new book by two professors at Pennsylvania State University compares public education systems around the world. [32]The book is called National Differences, Global Similarities: World Culture and the Future of Schooling.
David Baker and Gerald LeTendre led a group of researchers who gathered information on about 50 countries. Some findings came from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study. That study took place in 1994 and again five years later.
The professors say education is increasingly shaped by what they call "transnational forces". Officials in many countries are concerned about how their students compare with students in other countries.
Each part of the book develops a different subject researched in schools around the world. One of the subjects is violence among students. [34]The professors say countries with the most school violence include Hungary, Romania and the Philippines.
They say the United States is somewhere in the middle, above nations like New Zealand, Canada, South Korea, Spain and Australia. The findings are based on reports from students.
[35]Professor Baker says inequalities in educational systems act as an influence.He says schools that are sharply divided between "winners and losers" in math have higher levels of violence. "This does not mean that nations should stop trying to raise scores," he says. "But they should be careful to raise the performance among all students."

答案解析：
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What is the title of the book?
[C]解析：C是由短文提到的書名照搬下來的選項(xiàng)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是專有名詞，或者問短文的主旨大意，或者問別的什么標(biāo)題。C、D的差異只在一個(gè)詞上（similarities與differences），聽錄音時(shí)要多注意。
33. What can we learn about the book from the passage?
[D]解析：短文第1句即提到，賓夕法尼亞州立大學(xué)的兩位教授的一本新書比較了世界各地的公共教育體制。因此D正確。短文第1句往往是出題的重點(diǎn)。聽到什么選什么。
34. Where did the study find the most school violence?
[B]解析：文中提到：“兩位教授說，校園暴力最多的國家包括匈牙利、羅馬尼亞和菲律賓。”因此B正確。讀題可知，本題問到幾個(gè)國家名稱，這幾個(gè)國家有著某種共同點(diǎn)。聽錄音時(shí)，可一項(xiàng)項(xiàng)“對號入座”。語義強(qiáng)調(diào)之處會出題，文中the most school violence成了選項(xiàng)的標(biāo)志。
35. Which opinion would Professor Baker support?
[C]解析：短文最后說到：“Baker教授說，教育體制的不平等產(chǎn)生了影響。”C正確。A、B、D的觀點(diǎn)也可以對照短文最后的內(nèi)容一一排除。此外，絕對化的選項(xiàng)不是答案，可排除A。B、D的觀點(diǎn)也不符合一般情理。
