Question

There were times it was only schoolchildren who felt sick before they got their grades. But now teachers in Germany are scared, too, as they are being graded by their students.

Many teachers are opposed to it. They don’t mind being evaluated(评价). But they are upset because the results are then being posted on the Internet and accessible to millions of Internet users. On the website www.spickmich.deduring the past four months students have posted evaluation of 100,000 teachers.

The teachers are graded on categories such as “motivated”, “good instruction”, “easy examinations”, or even “sexy”. Many teachers think that their privacy has been violated.

The creators of the website say that the students are only being offered the chance to provide teachers with some feedback about their classroom instruction. Bernd Dicks, who founded the website with three friends, says that the students are largely quite satisfied with their teachers. On a grading scale of one to six, the teachers’ average grade is 2.7 and it has been improving lately. He often says the impression is that students are bullying（威吓） their teachers. But there is also bullying of the students by teachers.

“Teachers must also learn to live with criticism,” he added. But still, the website is not totally immune from manipulation(操纵), as one teacher near the northern city of Hanover recently proved. He registered himself on the website as a student and then rated his own teaching colleagues highly. Within a few days, seven of his colleagues were listed in the top 10 ranking of Germany’s best teachers.

【解析】

试题分析：本文就德国的老师被学生评价然后结果被公布在网站上一事，本文就这个问题列出它的优点及缺点，这样做引起了老师的不满，他们不是不愿让学生评价，而是不愿让结果公布在网上。这就引起了有这样一个老师以学生的名誉给自己及其他老师评出最好的成绩，因而对网站不能制止这种行为而提出不满。

1.这是细节理解题。根据Many teachers think that their privacy has been violated.故选A。

2.这是推理判断题。根据On a grading scale of one to six, the teachers’ average grade is 2.7 and it has been improving lately.老师的被评估的平均分提高了，说明有助于老师们改进教学，故选C。

3.这是推理判断题。根据He registered himself on the website as a student and then rated his own teaching colleagues highly. Within a few days, seven of his colleagues were listed in the top 10 ranking of Germany’s best teachers.

网站不能确认对老师的评价真的来自学生，故选B。
