Would-be language teachers everywhere have one thing in common; they all want some recognition of their professional status and skills, and a job. The former requirement is obviously important on a personal level, but it is vital if you are to have any chance of finding work.
Ten years ago, the situation was very different. In virtually every developing country, and in many developed countries as well, being a native English speaker was enough to get you employed as an English teacher.
Now employers will only look at teachers who have the knowledge, the skills and aptitudes to teach English effectively. The result of this has been to raise non-native English teachers to the same status as their native counterparts—something they have always deserved but seldom enjoyed. Non-natives are now happy—linguistic discrimination is a thing of the past.
An ongoing research project, funded by the University of Cambridge, asked a sample of teachers, teacher educators and employers in more than 40 countries whether they regard the native/non-native speakers distinction as being at all important. "NO" was the answer. As long as candidates could teach and had the required level of English, it didn’t matter who they were and where they came from. Thus, a new form of discrimination—this time justified because it singled out the unqualified—liberated the linguistically oppressed. But the Cambridge project did more than just that; it confirmed that the needs of native and non-native teachers are extremely similar.
Questions:
What is the result of the "new form of discrimination"?
选项
A、It liberated the non-native English teacher and singled out the unqualified.
B、It helped the schools to employ those who come from English speaking countries.
C、It made it easy for the educational organization to select the English teachers.
D、It proved that the English speakers and the non-English speakers are very similar to each other.
答案
A
解析
第4题根据题干中的new form of discrimination,利用查阅式阅读的方法,在最后一段带有thus总结归纳词的这个句子中可以找到。这个句子指出:区分一个人是否可做英语老师的新要求使那些从语言上受到压制的人得到了自由。言外之意,这种新的区分形式可以使那些不是以英语为母语,但符合英语老师条件的人被雇做英语老师了。因此,本题的正确答案应是A:它解放了那些非英语为母语的老师,剔除了那些不符合要求、没有资格的英语老师。
