Teaching is supposed to be an activity requiring long and complicated training as well as official certification (资格证书). The student's role is one of receiving information; the teacher's role is one of sending it. There is a clear distinction assumed between one who is supposed to know (and therefore not capable of being wrong) and another, usually younger person, who is supposed not to know.
However, teaching need not be the province of a special group of people nor need it be looked upon as a technical skill. Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcing information into a supposedly (想象上,按照推测) empty head. If you have a certain skill you should be able to share it with someone. You do not have to get certified to convey what you know to someone else or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves. All of us, from the very youngest children to the oldest members of our cultures should come to realize our own potential as teachers. We can share what we know, however little it might be, with someone who has the need of that knowledge or skill.
单选题 The act of teaching is regarded as ______.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 事实细节题。由线索词act of teaching定位到文章第一段第一句“教学活动被认为是一项只有经过长期复杂的训练并取得官方资格的人才能进行的活动”可知,题干中的act是对原文activity的同义转述,所以A)“受过良好训练的人进行的工作”为正确答案。 [避错] B)“技能”和D)“官方授予的资格”都与原文内容不符;C)“复杂的活动”,是对原文“接受训练的复杂过程”意思的误解,所以排除。
单选题 The assumed relationship between the teacher and the students is ______.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 事实细节题。由线索词assumed定位到文章第二、三两句可以得知,人们认为教师与学生分别应该是信息的传授者与接收者,C)中的knowledge是对原文information的同义转述。 [避错] A)“能够犯错与不能犯错的人”;B)“正确与错误的双方”和D)“引领者与跟随者”都只是对文章内容的断章取义,不能完整地表达原文意思。
单选题 The underlined word "province" (Line1, Para. 2) means "______".
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 语义理解题。由引号中的线索词province定位到文章第二段第一句。根据该句意思可知,教学不一定是—小部分人的领域,所以选B)“知识、活动或兴趣的范围”符合上下文意思。 [避错] A)“行政单位”;C)“职责范围”和D)“有独特的动物种群的土地区域”都不符合上百文句意。
单选题 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the author?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 细节辨认题。根据题文同序的原则,该题定位在文章第二段。由第二句可知,教学活动不是把知识强行灌输给空洞的头脑,而是对学生进行指导和辅助的工作,所以C)与原文意思正好相反。 [避错] 原文第二段第二句中的more…than…意为“与其说……不如说……”。例如:He is more an actor than a teacher.(与其说他是一名教师,还不如说他是一个演员。)所以 more后面所跟的内容才是说话者真正想要表达的意图和重点,由此排除其他选项。
单选题 The main idea of the passage is that ______.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 观点态度题。通览全文,并结合文章倒数第二句给出的明确信息,作者最盾的结论是:每个人都有个做老师的潜质。答案选B)。 [避错] A)“当一个好老师不难”不是作者要表达的主要意思;C)和D)都只是作者在文章中给出的细节,不能全面概括文章的主旨大意。
