　　第一句：

　　参考译文：鲍里斯·约翰逊被敦促控制这场A-level考试危机。

　　第二句：

　　The government’s attempt to placate angry parents and students backfired over the weekend /when the exams regulator Ofqual scrapped rules allowing pupils to appeal against their grades using the results of mock exams,(原因!)/hours after the rules had been published and endorsed by ministers.

　　参考译文：上周末，在允许学生利用模拟考的成绩对分数进行申诉的规则公布及被部长们批准后的几个小时后，考试监管机构英格兰资格及考试监督办公室(Ofqual)就取消了该规则，令政府安抚愤怒的家长和学生的尝试产生了反效果。

　　思考题解析：

　　The reason why the government’s attempt backfired is that ______

　　我们把第二句重新梳理一下：

　　1 rules allowing pupils to appeal against their grades using the results of mock exams

　　有这么一个规定：允许学生用模拟考试的成绩来申诉分数(也就是用模考成绩作为申请成绩。)

　　2hours after the rules had been published and endorsed by ministers.

　　这个规定在颁布和得到部长批准之后的几小时

　　3. the exams regulator Ofqual scrapped rules

　　考试监管机构把这个规定给废除了!

　　4.The government’s attempt to placate angry parents and students backfired

　　这样一来：政府安抚家长的努力就白费了，而且产生了副作用!

　　所以原因就是：考试监管机构把这个规定给废除了!

　　也就是：模拟考试的成绩不管用了!

　　所以答案选：

　　(B) the results of mock exams are invalid for the application.

　　模拟考试的成绩在申请中是无效的!

　　正确!

　　(A) the rules had been accepted and approved by ministers.

　　部长们接受并同意了这些规定。

　　(不是原因!排除!)

　　(C) the exams regulator had to obey the rules of ministers.

　　考试的监管者不得不服从部长的规定。

　　(这是拼凑的选项啊!排除!)

　　(D) some students are not allowed to take the mock exams.

　　(有一些学生不被允许去参加模拟考试!排除!)
