问题     Educating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radical new approaches to learning, describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning. One of the theory discussed in the book is that proposed by George Lozanov, which focuses on the power of suggestion.
    Lozanov’s instructional technique is based on the evidence that the connections made in the brain through unconscious processing(which he calls non-specific mental reactivity)are more durable than those made through conscious processing. Besides the laboratory evidence for this, we know from our experience that we often remember what we have perceived peripherally, long after we have forgotten what we set out to learn. If we think of a book we studied months or years ago, we will find it easier to recall peripheral details—the colour, the binding, the typeface, the table at the library where we sat while studying it—than the content on which were concentrating. If we think of a lecture we listened to with great concentration, we will recall the lecturer’s appearance and mannerisms, our place in the auditorium, the failure of the air-conditioning, much more easily than the ideas we went to learn. Even if these peripheral details are a bit elusive, they come back readily in hypnosis or when we relive the event imaginatively, such as in psychodrama. The details of the content of the lecture, on the other hand, seem to have gone forever.
    The suggestopedic approach to foreign language learning provides a good illustration. In its most recent variant(1980), it consists of the reading of vocabulary and text while the class is listening to music. The first session is in two parts. In the first part, the music is classical(Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms)and the teacher reads the text slowly and solemnly, with attention to the dynamics of the music. The students follow the text in their books. The teacher’ s task is to assist the students to apply what they have learned paraconsciously, and in doing so to make it easily accessible to consciousness.
    While suggestopedia has gained some notoriety through success in the teaching of modern languages, few teachers are able to emulate the spectacular results of Lozanov and his associates. We can, perhaps, attribute mediocre results to inadequate placebo effect. The students have not developed the appropriate mind set. They are often not motivated to learn through this method. They do not have enough ’ faith’. They do not see it as ’real teaching’, especially as it does not seem to involve the ’work’ they have learned to believe that it is essential to learning.
Which one of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
选项 A、The suggestopedia approach has been famous to some extent in the field of language teaching.
B、Teachers prefer suggestopedia to traditional approaches.
C、The students have not been used to being taught in suggestopedia approach yet.
D、Other teachers are unable to achieve the same success as Lozanov.
答案B
解析 细节题。文章最后一段，第一句意为，尽管现代语言教学里暗示法有了一定的名气，但很少有老师取得了与Lozanov和他同伙人那样显著的成绩。由此可推断，老师们并不是都宁愿使用暗示法而不是传统的教学方法，选项B错误。选项A对应最后一段首句前半部分。选项C对应最后一段第三句。选项D对应最后一段第一句后半部分。
