The reader has long been the victim of the EFL classroom. Teachers either ignore readers, or neglect and abuse them, failing to recognize their learning potential. The reason for this can no longer be laid at the door of the publishers. Nowadays, a vast range of material is produced suitable for all interests, age ranges, and ability levels. It is more probably the attitude of the teacher, and thus, the student, which is responsible. Are any of the following close to your own attitude, or familiar to you from conversations with colleagues?
Readers are an expensive luxury. The school cannot afford them. Other things must come first. We are trying to get through a fairly dense syllabus to equip our students, ultimately, for examinations; we cannot spare the time for frills (虚饰). Reading for pleasure is a private and personal thing. We cannot see how this can be used in the EFL classroom. We understand that extensive reading for pleasure can only improve language, but we have no way of checking that learning has taken place other than comprehension questions. These activities reduce the pleasure.
The above are explanations, excuses, reasons and justifications from teachers talking about the scant use of readers in the classroom. Their comments illustrate three views prevalent at present. First, that teachers feel that time spared for readers will in some way deprive their students of certain key language skills and abilities. Second, those teachers are fostering or even pandering (迎合)to students’ reluctance to read for pleasure. Finally, those teachers are unaware of how to use and exploit readers in their classrooms and therefore provide a limited range of activities, which in turn limits the responses of their students. If teachers take readers into classroom with any one, or a combination of the above attitudes, this will be passed on to the students who will then also believe that readers are preventing them from doing something more important and are a waste of valuable learning time. They read only to enable them to answer a comprehension task.
It is up to the teacher to convince the reluctant reader that reading, either extensive or intensive, is pleasurable. Only one of many ways of obtaining pleasure is to be able to answer the teachers’ comprehension check questions the following day. The world of reading will remain, and still be as inaccessible (达不到的) as ever to the student.
选项
A、there were not enough appropriate books available
B、there were not responsible book publishers
C、the teachers are not qualified to teach reading
D、the teachers are not paying enough attention
答案
A
解析
由题干中的the reader’s poor condition定位到原文首段首句The reader has long been the victim of the EFL classroom.[精析] 原文首段定位句下文说道“这一责任不能够再归结于出版商了”,言外之意就是以前责任被归于出版商。而后面又补充说“有大量的各种内容的材料适合满足所有的兴趣、年龄段和能力水平的需求”,证明以前出版商有责任的原因是没有出版满足不同兴趣、年龄段和能力水平的读物。也就是说没有足够的可获得的合适的材料。A)含义与之符合,故为正确答案。[排除干扰] B)“没有负责任的图书出版商”含义原文没有提及,故排除;C)“教师不符合教阅读的要求”和 D)“教师没有尽心尽力”为对一直以来教师可能存在的不足的推断,但非题干所问在过去导致该结果的主要原因,故均排除。
