Question

12．There has been much discussion recently about reducing the weight of English in China's high-stake tests such as the national college entrance examination．It is argued by some applauding the recent change to reduce the importance of English in tests so that it will lead students to focus more on learning Chinese．The TV program Writing in Chinese has exposed the problem that students and the general public cannot write in Chinese as they used to do．
Some blame the design of the curriculum for giving English an equal or greater amount of emphasis，which might have contributed to the failure in teaching Chinese．But this is probably not a fair accusation since children in English speaking countries cannot spell either．
I doubt that studying English in itself hurts the study of Chinese．In fact，high achievers in English or another foreign language are more likely to be high achievers in Chinese．It has been proved many times in recent Chinese history that those capable of using a foreign language are also masters in their mother tongue．Qian Zhongshu，Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are just a few examples．
Another trend of thought for curriculum reform is related to the perception of"worth"．It is true that English is one of the subjects that students do spend too much time on，with pitiful results．This makes some doubt if it is worth giving it priority．But this is not a sound argument either as students still need to study things that matter more to their future in spite of challenges learning English presents to them．
Improvements in Chinese language education should not be achieved by sacrificing another important subject．There should be a robust（健康的） foreign language education program，as a foreign language improves a student's future job prospects．Bashing（抨擊） English education as a waste of time or using it as a goat for failures in Chinese education are both harmful tendencies．
To be constructive，we ought to start a dialogue on ways to make improvements in learning outcomes so that students'time learning English is spent more effectively．There are a few things that could improve English education，such as assessment design，learner motivation and teaching style，
I am sure there are many other areas where changes can greatly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of English learning．The public discourse at present is a little oversimplified．People are arguing for or against English having less weight in major tests，when the dialogue should be taken a step further，to the improvement of learning or teaching methods that may benefit the teaching of other subjects as well，Chinese included．

  A．show respect for their capabilities of learning languages
  B．prove English and Chinese are not contradictory
  C．confirm the importance of learning English in China

  B．Good results of learning English are not worth so much time．
  C．Some are in favor of attaching less importance to English in exams．
  D．Sacrificing English can improve Chinese language education．
65．In the writer's opinion，what should be done to solve the argument？D
  A．Increasing time spent in learning Chinese．
  B．Increasing time spent in learning English．
  C．Reducing the weight of English in examinations．
  D．Improving the learning outcomes effectively．

Answer 1

分析 文章介紹先在很多地方進(jìn)行的考試改革，要削弱英語(yǔ)在考試中的地位，因?yàn)檫^分的強(qiáng)調(diào)英語(yǔ)讓很多學(xué)生忽視了母語(yǔ)的學(xué)習(xí)，但是作者提出了不同的觀點(diǎn)，認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該簡(jiǎn)單的減少英語(yǔ)的重要性，而應(yīng)該從改進(jìn)教學(xué)方法入手，提高學(xué)習(xí)的效果．

解答 63．答案 B 細(xì)節(jié)題：從第三段的句子：It has been proved many times in recent Chinese history that those capable of using a foreign language are also masters in their mother tongue．可知文章提到錢鐘書，魯迅和林語(yǔ)堂，是為了證明英語(yǔ)和漢語(yǔ)不是矛盾的，選B
64．答案 C 細(xì)節(jié)題：從文章第二段的句子：Some blame the design of the curriculum for giving English an equal or greater amount of emphasis，which might have contributed to the failure in teaching Chinese．可知一些人是贊同不要太重視英語(yǔ)考試的，選C
65．答案 D 細(xì)節(jié)題：從文章第六段的句子；To be constructive，we ought to start a dialogue on ways to make improvements in learning outcomes so that students'time learning English is spent more effectively．可知作者認(rèn)為為了解決問題應(yīng)該有效的提高教學(xué)的效果，選D
66．答案 A 標(biāo)題確定題：文章介紹先在很多地方進(jìn)行的考試改革，要削弱英語(yǔ)在考試中的地位，因?yàn)檫^分的強(qiáng)調(diào)英語(yǔ)讓很多學(xué)生忽視了母語(yǔ)的學(xué)習(xí)，但是作者提出了不同的觀點(diǎn)，認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該簡(jiǎn)單的減少英語(yǔ)的重要性，而應(yīng)該從改進(jìn)教學(xué)方法入手，提高學(xué)習(xí)的效果．所以英語(yǔ)仍然在中國(guó)是重要的，選A

點(diǎn)評(píng) 細(xì)節(jié)考查題中有一類事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題．該題屬于細(xì)節(jié)類型的閱讀理解題，一般只針對(duì)某個(gè)特定的細(xì)節(jié)，題型可以多種多樣．此類題型一般分兩種．第一種是直接理解題，在原文中可以直接找到答案．第二種是詞義轉(zhuǎn)換題，正確選項(xiàng)是原文有關(guān)詞語(yǔ)和句子的轉(zhuǎn)換．做此類試題一定要抓住事件發(fā)生的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、人物、發(fā)展過程和結(jié)局等環(huán)節(jié)，所選答案一定要符合原文，切不可望文生義．細(xì)節(jié)題的破解一般采用尋讀法，即先看試題，再讀文章．對(duì)有關(guān)信息進(jìn)行快速定位，再將相關(guān)信息進(jìn)行整合、甄別、分析、對(duì)比，有根有據(jù)地排除干擾項(xiàng)，選出正確答案．做此類型的題目還要特別注意句子的邏輯關(guān)系．
