Question

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; _________________, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way children, learning to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances（表現(xiàn)）with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he became dependent on the teacher.

Why should we teachers waste time on such tiring work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense（荒謬的）of grades, exams and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

We should, of course, offer help to them just as they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated（復(fù)雜的）and rapidly changing as ours. Don’t worry! If something is basic, they will go out into the world and learn it.

【解析】

試題分析：讓孩子們自己評(píng)判他們的學(xué)習(xí)，讓他們自己去發(fā)現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤并自己改正錯(cuò)誤。作者為老師，應(yīng)該轉(zhuǎn)變以前那種給學(xué)生指出錯(cuò)誤并監(jiān)督他們改正的教學(xué)觀念，注重培養(yǎng)孩子獨(dú)立思考和判斷的能力。

1.Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time ...But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them.”可知，文章大意說(shuō)的是，讓孩子學(xué)會(huì)自己評(píng)判他們的工作，老師要給孩子自學(xué)的機(jī)會(huì)。故填Let children judge their own work. /Let children learn by themselves. /Give children chances to learn by themselves.

2.We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to.”可知，老師認(rèn)為，如果不給孩子指出錯(cuò)誤，他就不會(huì)注意到那個(gè)錯(cuò)誤；如果不讓孩子去改正錯(cuò)誤，他就不會(huì)去改正。故填We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to.

3.A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time”中的all the time可知，不應(yīng)該一直提醒孩子要糾正錯(cuò)誤，而應(yīng)該讓孩子自己發(fā)現(xiàn)并加以改正。故填I(lǐng)f (he is) corrected too much/frequently/too often。

4.Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer.”和第三段“We should, of course, offer help to them just as they ask for it.”可知，老師應(yīng)該做的事情是，當(dāng)孩子找不到答案向老師求助時(shí)，老師才伸出援助之手。故填(A teacher should) offer help when a child asks for it. A teacher should help the child when he can’t find the way to get the right answer.

5.Let’s end all this nonsense（荒謬的）of grades, exams and marks. Let us throw them all out”中的nonsense可知，作者認(rèn)為分?jǐn)?shù)和考試是沒(méi)有意義的，故填(The author thinks) them (that they are) nonsense /useless/ meaningless/pointless/(that) they make no sense.
