The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs. " He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how his grade 9 level had been established.
My topic is not standards nor its decline (降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.
The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.
Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today’s young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.
It can be concluded from the passage that______.
选项
A、it is justifiable to include English as a school subject
B、the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level
C、English language teaching is by no means an easy job
D、language improvement needs time and effort
答案
D
解析
本题是一道暗示引申题。问我们能从这篇文章中推断出什么。利用浏览式阅读法和跳跃式阅读法,通读全文内容和关键词句,我们可以看出,作者在本文中主要是批判了老一代人对青年人的急于求成,把语言学习简单化,认为学生未学好就是老师没教好的观点。其实,学好语言需要时间磨炼和积累以及自身的努力。因此,我们可以推知本题的正确答案应是D“语言的提高需要时间和努力”。
