Recently, cities like Chengdu, Qingdao and Fuzhou have cancelled unified(统一的) final exams for 10th and 11th graders across their cities. This move follows a national notice from the Ministry of Education(教育部), which aims to reduce students' study pressure and help them develop in many ways. Instead of citywide exams, schools now organize their own small tests.
Parents have mixed feelings. Many feel worried. They say without unified exams, they can't know their children's real level compared to others in the city. Some also fear that different schools may have tests of different qualities, making it hard to plan for the future. However, a few parents support the change, as it lets their kids have less stress about being put in order.
Experts have shared their ideas. They say it does not mean no exams at all, but a better way to check students' learning. Students can have more time for hobbies and their favourite study tasks. To reduce parents' worries, education departments provide standard test questions for schools to use.
This new step tries to balance study and happiness. It may take time for everyone to get used to it, but it is good for students' healthier growth. For schools, designing proper tests on their own may be a problem.
1. What do schools in Chengdu, Qingdao and Fuzhou do instead of taking citywide unified final exams?
A. They stop all kinds of tests for students.
B. They organize small tests on their own.
C. They ask parents to make tests at home.
D. They use tests made by students themselves.
2. What may the underlined word "it" refer to?
A. Cancelling unified final exams.
B. Knowing the students' real level.
C. Reducing students' study pressure.
D. Having more time for hobbies.
3.（创新考法·情节推断）What will probably be talked about next?
A. Ways to balance study and happiness.
B. Ways for parents to reduce worries.
C. Ways to follow the experts' ideas.
D. Ways for schools to design proper tests.

答案：1. B
2. A 代词指代题。结合前文可知，it 指的就是取消统一考试这件事。
3. D 情节推断题。文章最后提到“For schools, designing proper tests on their own may be a problem.”，接下来很可能会围绕如何解决这个问题，也就是学校设计合适的测试方法展开讨论。
方法归纳
阅读理解之情节推断题
情节推断题属于推理判断题的核心子类，要求根据文章已叙述的情节、人物行为、细节线索与上下文逻辑，合理推测未直接写明的情节发展、人物动机、事件因果或故事结局。解题核心是：做文本侦探，不做主观编剧——一切推断必须有原文线索支撑，拒绝过度脑补。
情节推断题有以下解题技巧。
1. 抓故事主线：明确冲突、人物目标、当前进展。
2. 看伏笔或铺垫：前文埋下的细节、暗示、未解决的矛盾，是推断后文的关键。
3. 看逻辑趋势：情节发展符合常理与人物性格，不突兀。
2. A 代词指代题。结合前文可知，it 指的就是取消统一考试这件事。
3. D 情节推断题。文章最后提到“For schools, designing proper tests on their own may be a problem.”，接下来很可能会围绕如何解决这个问题，也就是学校设计合适的测试方法展开讨论。

解析：
【分析】
这是一篇关于教育政策调整的议论文阅读理解，包含细节理解、代词指代、情节推断三类题型。解题思路如下：1. 细节理解题需定位原文对应信息，匹配选项；2. 代词指代题需结合上下文，找到it指代的前文核心事件；3. 情节推断题需关注文章最后一段的未解决问题，以此推断后续内容。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：定位原文第一段最后一句“Instead of citywide exams, schools now organize their own small tests.”，可知学校改为自行组织小型测试，对应选项B。
2. 代词指代题：it所在句前文提到的核心事件是“取消统一期末考试”，结合语境，it指代该事件，对应选项A。
3. 情节推断题：文章最后一段结尾提到“For schools, designing proper tests on their own may be a problem.”，留下学校设计测试的问题伏笔，后续应围绕解决该问题的方法展开，对应选项D。
【答案】
1. B
2. A
3. D
