My topic is not standards nor its decline (降低). What the speaker was really saying is that eh 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 as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar 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.

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

听力原文: Here is a story. A participant in the long-distance race got his shoes filled with sand when he was crossing a beach. He had to stop to get the sand out hastily before he resumed running. Unfortunately a grain of sand remained rubbing the sole so that his steps became increasingly painful. Reluctant to halt and get rid of the sand, he continued to run in spite of the pain until he could stand no more. He dropped out of the contest just a few yards from the finishing line. As he managed to get out of the shoe painfully, he was surprised to find the cause of his lasting pain was only a grain of sand.
It seems that the greatest obstacle on one's way forward may not be a high mountain or a deep valley but a grain of sand that is hardly visible. To avoid blame on a minor fault one may tell a lie. That adds a burden to a heavy heart and weighs it down. In the days to come he will have to make up one story after another to cover the lie he told and the fault he committed. Thus he will never be able to free himself from lasting anxiety, worry and regret, to the ignorance that all his sufferings come from only a grain of sand -- the first lie he told.

A.He got injured.
B.He was exhausted.
C.He was knocked down.

Teachers or Students
The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic 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.

听力原文:Alan: I'm really worried about Jeremy these days. He looks tired.
Ben: He's a workaholic, you know. Works all the time, night and day.
Alan: I know he puts in a lot of hours. He's always here no matter what time I arrive.
Ben: The boss seems to think it's a good thing, but I'm not so sure.
Alan: When does Jeremy get time to relax?
Ben: That's just the point, he doesn't. He's always thinking about work. It's mined his life. He never saw his children because he was always home late and he left early in the morning.
Alan: What happened?
Ben: He and his wife separated. She'll probably get a divorce.
Alan: That's high price to pay.
Ben: I guess some people can't see the value of a balanced life. If you try to talk with Jeremy, he's always more comfortable with talking about work, he can't really talk about anything else.
Alan: That's kind of sad.
Ben: The trouble is, Jeremy doesn't see it that way. He just gets lots of work done and he actually enjoys it.
Alan: It will tell in the end though. He's putting too much stress on himself. There's more to life than work. If your life consists only of work then I believe there's a psychological problem.
Ben: That's possible. Maybe his boss should have a talk with him.
Alan: But who is going to tell him to do that?
(27)
A.In an office.
B.At a supermarket.
C.At home.
D.At a railway station.

If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius (天才), they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational psychologists (心理学家), this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parent expects. But unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not unrealistic- about what they expect their children to do, but are hope ful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well -- especially if the parents are very supportive of their child.
Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael's mother knows very little about music, she supports her son. Michael's father plays the trumpet(小号) in a large orchestra(管弦乐队). However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Michael's friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they make him enter every piano competition. They are very unhappy when he doesn't win. "When I was your age, I used to win every competition ! entered. "Winston's father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
The main idea of the passage is ______.
A.how parents should make a child a musician
B.how parents should bring up a child
C.what differences there are between two kinds of parents
D.what aim of a child can be much easier to reach

听力原文: When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows about what to do. For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find ont all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn't feel ashamed that he failed, he just turns to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special way to look at life, a special feeling about life, and how he fits into it. If you look at children, you'll see great differences between what we call "bright" children and "not bright" children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life--he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world: he seems to have a wall between him and life in general. This leads us to feel mysterious about how to determine what intelligence is.

B.It is the ability to do well in school.
C.It is the ability to deal with life.
