问题     Would-be language teachers everywhere have one thing in common; they all want some recognition of their professional status and skills, and a job. The former requirement is obviously important on a personal level, but it is vital if you are to have any chance of finding work.
    Ten years ago, the situation was very different. In virtually every developing country, and in many developed countries as well, being a native English speaker was enough to get you employed as an English teacher.
    Now employers will only look at teachers who have the knowledge, the skills and aptitudes to teach English effectively. The result of this has been to raise non-native English teachers to the same status as their native counterparts—something they have always deserved but seldom enjoyed. Non-natives are now happy—linguistic discrimination is a thing of the past.
    An ongoing research project, funded by the University of Cambridge, asked a sample of teachers, teacher educators and employers in more than 40 countries whether they regard the native/non-native speakers distinction as being at all important. "NO" was the answer. As long as candidates could teach and had the required level of English, it didn’t matter who they were and where they came from. Thus, a new form of discrimination—this time justified because it singled out the unqualified—liberated the linguistically oppressed. But the Cambridge project did more than just that; it confirmed that the needs of native and non-native teachers are extremely similar.
Questions:
What kind of people can now find a job as an English teacher?

选项 A、Those who can teach effectively and have the required English level.
B、Those who come from the United States or the United Kingdom.
C、Those who can speak fluent English.
D、Those who have the degrees in English.

答案A

解析 第3题根据全文内容我们了解到,现在人们选择英语老师不再像过去那样以他是否是以英语为母语作为衡量标准了,而是以他是否有知识、有技能、有良好有效的教授英语的水平为基础,或者说,以他能否教好和他是否拥有所要求的英语水平为参考依据,而不在乎他是谁,从哪里来等。因此,本题的正确答案应为A。
