Question

阅读理解 　　So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves．Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them．It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading．Douglas insists that“Reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”． 　　Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes．They differ in kind and function．The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read．Teaching is also a public activity．It can be seen and observed． 　　Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language．Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny． 　　If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest(探索)for knowledge？Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions．“Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children．” 　　When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teachers fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated．Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading． (1) The teaching of reading will be successful if ________． [　　] A． teachers can improve conditions at school for the students B． teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading C． teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading D． teachers can make their teaching activities observable (2) The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means “________”． [　　] A． inquiry B． observation C． control D． suspicion (3) According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________． [　　] A． children become highly motivated B． teacher and learner roles are interchangeable C． teaching helps children in the search for knowledge D． reading enriches children’s experience (4) The main idea of the passage is that ________． [　　] A． teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read B． teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible C． reading ability is something acquired rather than taught D． reading is more complicated that generally believed

Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．B;3．A;4．C;
解析：

(1)	依据“The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read”可知，B项符合上述意思，为正确答案。
(2)	该题为猜测词义。inquiry“询问”；observation“观察”；control“控制”；suspicion“怀疑”。根据“Teaching is also a public activity．It can be seen and observed”可推测，scrutiny最可能的词义应该是observation，故B项正确。
(3)	依据“Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading”可以看出A项与之最为相近。
(4)	依据文章可知阅读能力并不是通过教师教就能掌握的。教师应做的是给学生创造一个好的环境和条件，激发学生阅读的渴望，培养出良好的阅读习惯，只有这样，学生才能掌握阅读技能，提高阅读水平。所以选项C正确。其他选项与文章讨论的范围不符。
