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 passage the author argues that______.
选项
A、it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students
B、young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properly
C、to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears
D、to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations
答案
A
解析
本题问本文作者的观点是什么。对全篇文章的准确理解是答对本题的基础。文章第三段指出,上一代人对下一代人时常抱怨,这是不可避免的。有人对学生的语言水平不满便去寻找原因,也是人之常情。可是在19世纪末期之前英语还没有成为学校的一门学科,学生语言上同样存在缺陷,要找出责难对象则十分困难了。自从英语成了一门课程之后,英语教师则不断地成为攻击目标。因此,本题的正确答案应是A“学生的英语不好便责备老师是不公平的”。
