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.
In the author’s opinion, the speaker______.
选项
A、gave a correct judgement of the English level of students
B、had exaggerated the language problems of the students
C、was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs
D、could think and speak intelligently
答案
B
解析
本题是一道涉及作者观点和态度类问题。问作者认为那个演讲人如何。作者在第一段引用了演讲人的话并介绍了演讲人对学生英语水平的评价,但从后面几段的字里行间读者可以看出作者不同意演讲人的观点,作者认为演讲人夸大了学生在语言方面存在的问题。因此本题的正确答案应是B。
