问题    The principal technique in current use for teaching reading at the intermediate stage, a stage occurring between a beginning stage and an advanced stage, is that of graded readers. It is generally accepted that the achievement of fluency and that of a wider coverage of the language are desirable aims, and most teachers strive to obtain a large quantity of reading matter, often distinguishing between intensive and extensive reading.  Two sources of difficulty exist: first, it is extremely difficult, in practice, for the teacher to meet the needs of each individual learner at the various different times that individuals actually become intermediate learners. Classwork presupposes that all learners progress from one stage to another at the same moment, which is not true. To try and get over this problem there is currently a wave of interest in individualization, that is, in providing within a common framework the opportunity for each individual learner to learn at least partly at his own rate; In reading, this is promoted by the provision of numbers of separate materials    lots of small books ,or leaflets, or cards -- which become longer and more complex. (Reading kits are a case in point. ) This trend is certain to increase.
   The second difficulty is that the grading of reading materials has often proved inadequate ,in two senses:  (a) by being self-defeating, so that "simplified" texts have frequently been "simplified" out of all sensible  meaning; and (b) by the fact that many learners find vocabulary graded materials unappetizing: not that they can’t learn from them, but that they won’t. What is now being realized is that the grading of reading materials, and above all the choice of texts, must reflect not only characteristics of the language (vocabulary, grammar, etc. ) but also characteristics of the learner. What he is willing to read and what he is interested to read are products of his sex, age-group, level of education, degree of intellectuality, personal interests, etc. Reading materials are increasingly being designed to fit both the learner’s level of proficiency in English and his reading interests. In doing so, they are providing the learner with the means of developing further command of the linguistic meanings of writing, enabling him to grasp informational and logical meaning, and perhaps starting him on the understanding of rhetorical and implicational meanings.  
To overcome the first difficulty for teaching intermediate readers, the teacher will ______.
选项 A、employ the method of individualization in his teaching practice
B、make sure that all learners progress from one stage to another at the same moment
C、provide learners the same reading materials
D、make all learners do both intensive and extensive reading
答案A
解析 题干To overcome the first difficulty是对原文To try and get over this problem的同义转述，由此可定位到文章第一段第五句，意思是每个语言学习者从初级水平过渡到中级水平的时间参差不齐，因此教学中教师不可能同时满足每个学习者的需要，为克服这一困难，目前许多教师热衷于个性化的教学手段，因此选[A]。每个学习者从一个阶段过渡到下一阶段的时间不可能统一，因此排除[B]；给学习者提供相同的阅读材料，或同时进行精读与泛读教学，也不可能使学习者的水平都一样，因为每个个体都有差别，因此排除[C]、[D]。
