英國(guó)開始推行小學(xué)考初中的全國(guó)統(tǒng)考始于１９４４年，名為１１　ｐｌｕｓ，取自參加考試的孩子的年齡段——１１到１２歲。考試成績(jī)優(yōu)秀的可以進(jìn)入ｇｒａｍｍｅｒ　ｓｃｈｏｏｌ，直譯為文法學(xué)校，可以算是我們的重點(diǎn)中學(xué)吧，成績(jī)一般的就只能進(jìn)入普通學(xué)校了。和中國(guó)一樣，學(xué)校重點(diǎn)與否會(huì)直接影響到孩子整個(gè)中學(xué)的成績(jī)，最終當(dāng)然會(huì)決定孩子能考上哪所大學(xué)。從設(shè)立這個(gè)考試的那年起，就有越來(lái)越多的家長(zhǎng)和教育界人士呼吁，不要折磨這么小的孩子，讓他們好好享受無(wú)憂無(wú)慮的童年吧。

　　３２年后，蘇格蘭和威爾士在１９７６年取消了這個(gè)考試。又一個(gè)３２年后，２００８年是北愛爾蘭最后一次使用這個(gè)考試制度選拔學(xué)生。現(xiàn)在只有英格蘭還保留有一百多家文法學(xué)校，想進(jìn)入重點(diǎn)學(xué)校的孩子，仍需要參加１１　ｐｌｕｓ的考試。１１，１２歲的孩子，對(duì)語(yǔ)文數(shù)學(xué)，語(yǔ)法修辭，邏輯分析，到底應(yīng)該是個(gè)什么水平？當(dāng)看到ＢＢＣ網(wǎng)上邀請(qǐng)大家試一試孩子們的考試題時(shí)，我磨拳擦掌的加入了。要不你也試一試？　１０分鐘答１５道題。這是英文原題：MOVING ONE LETTER

In these questions, one letter can be moved from the first word to the second word, to make two new words. The letters must not be otherwise arranged and both new words must make sense. Select the correct letter from those provided。

1. SCARF &RAIL 選項(xiàng)：A F R S

2. GUILT &POND 選項(xiàng)：L T U I

3. BLIND &SAY 選項(xiàng)：N B L I看懂了沒有？從第一個(gè)詞里取一個(gè)字母放到第二個(gè)詞里，構(gòu)成兩個(gè)新詞。再做一下這個(gè)數(shù)學(xué)填空題： FILL IN THE MISSING NUMBER

In each of the following sets of numbers the number in the centre bracketis found in exactly the same way as the two examples. Find the numberin the middle.

9.48 (6) 8, 49 (7) 7, 63 ( ) 7 選項(xiàng)：8 6 9 7

10.72 (47) 24, 28 (18) 9, 84 ( ) 33 選項(xiàng)：65 66 51 50

11.3 (21) 27, 6 (25) 37, 11 ( ) 23 選項(xiàng)：1 7 9 29

找出幾組數(shù)字括號(hào)里外的邏輯關(guān)系，填空。不知道你覺得怎樣。反正我覺得給11，12歲的孩子出這樣的題，挺難的。也許是我小時(shí)候?qū)W語(yǔ)文數(shù)學(xué)的時(shí)候沒有靈活地學(xué)吧？這題現(xiàn)在給中國(guó)的小學(xué)生做，他們能不能做出來(lái)？
