　　A new analysis of federal money that public schools receive for low-income students shows that a record number of the nation’s school districts will receive less in the coming academic year than they did for theone just ended.

　　For the 2005-2006 school year, spending under the Department of Education’s Title I program, which helps low-achieving children in high-poverty areas, is increasing by 3.2 percent, to $12.6 billion. But because of population shifts, growing numbers of poor children, newer census data and complex formulas that determine how the money is divided, more than two-thirds of the districts, or 8,843, will not receive as much financing as before.

　　The analysis, based on data from the department, was made by the Center on Education Policy, a group advocating for public schools. A similar study by the group last year showed that 55 percent of the schools would receive less money than they did in the previous year.

　　“It's an alarming number,” said Tom Fagan, a former department official who conducted the analysis. “It’s clear that the amount of overall increase is not keeping pace with the number of poor kids.”

　　Susan Aspey, a department spokeswoman, defended the spending levels for Title I，saying, “President Bush and Congress have invested record amounts of funding to help the nation’s neediest students.”

　　But Mr. Fagan said the increasing number of districts that are losing money is making it harder for the schools to meet the goals of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, the Bush administration's signature education program, which measures progress through annual tests in math, reading and science. That is giving critics of the program more grounds to accuse the administration of not sufficiently financing the program while demanding greater results.

　　Title I provides the largest component of financing for No Child Left Behind.

　　“The federal government is concentrating more money in fewer districts," said John F. Jennings, the president and chief executive of the Center on Education Policy. “It means there is lots of anger and lots of tension. They're asking us to do more and more with less and less.”

　　1.[A] 事實細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考査對長句的理解。從第1段首句中的“…of…”這一結(jié)構(gòu)可知這個最新分析是要研究聯(lián)邦政府資金問題的。所以排除B。由第3段第1句可知這項最新分析是由the Center on Education Policy 進(jìn)行的，因此排除選項D。根據(jù)第3段最后一句，選項C中show的行為主體應(yīng)為similar study。

　　2.[D] 事實細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查因果關(guān)系。第2段第2句指出有三個原因造成超過2/3的地區(qū)得到的資金減少，選項A、B、C是對這三個原因的近義改寫，但其中選項C與原句的形式分別最大，容易造成誤選。

　　3.[B] 觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。本題考查文人物的觀點(diǎn)。蘇珊·阿斯貝的觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度只能從第5段推斷出，從這一段中的defended和record amount of funding可知她對教育部的撥款數(shù)是認(rèn)同的。選項A和C都是貶義詞，不可 能表達(dá)她的觀點(diǎn);選項D雖是褒義詞,但蘇珊是在陳述已發(fā)生的事實，而不是發(fā)表對教育部的期望。

　　4.[B] 推理判斷題。本題考查對復(fù)合句的理解。由文中第6段第1句中的harder... to meet...可知選項B正確。選項C最具干擾性，要排除這個干擾，關(guān)鍵是要理解第6段第1句中由which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句的作 用。這個從句是對前面“the Bush administration's signature education program”的附加事實信息，不屬于湯姆·法甘的看法。

　　5.[C] 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第6段第1句可知選項A和D與事實不符。最后一段倒數(shù)第2句中的anger和tension兩詞，可推斷人們對此表示不滿。
