The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic(赞同的) 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 this 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(察觉) as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar(特有的) 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.
The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that _____.
A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior(差的) to that of the older
generation
B. the students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard enough
C. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen
years
D. English teachers should be held responsible for the students’ poor command of English
In the author’s opinion, the speaker ______.
A. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students
B. had exaggerated(夸大) 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
The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ______.
A. neutral B. positive C. critical D. compromising
It can be concluded from the passage that ______.
A. it is justifiable(有理由的) to include English as a school subject
B. the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level
C. English language teaching is by no means an easy job
D. language improvement needs time and effort
In the passage the author argues that ______.
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(消除) language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears
D. to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter（痛苦的） about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
【小题1】Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?
| A．He was silent most of the time. | B．He was too proud of himself. |
| C．He did not love his children. | D．He expected too much of her. |
| A．nervous | B．sorry | C．tired | D．safe |
| A．More critical. | B．More talkative |
| C．Gentle and friendly. | D．Strict and hard-working. |
| A．the author’s son | B．the author’s father |
