NAEP is a standardized test in the US and is called the nation's report card. Each year, the department collects data and statistically paints a portrait of where US education stands. The NAEP results show that the average English reading scores of fourth- and eighth-graders increased two points between 1992 and 2005. It also indicates that the achievement gaps in English reading, from the first assessment in 1992 to 2005, between white and black and white and Hispanic fourth- and eighth-graders have shown little measurable change. 剑桥大学出版社推出新品牌服务英语教学 CAMBRIDGE University Press (CUP), one of the world's leading ELT publishers in the UK, has announced that it is merging its ELT, education and online operations.
