  Declining Interest in Developing Foreign Language Skills

  1. Australias foreign language skills are declining, voice of America has reported. New figures show that only 13 percent of high school graduates can speak a foreign language. But four decades ago, 40 percent had foreign language skills.

  2. Professor Elise Tipton, from the University of Sydney, says increasingly students do not feel the need to learn another language to boost their career. She believes that Australias economic boom, which is driven by red-hot demand for its minerals, is helping mask serious deficiencies in its language skills.

  3. Australia does business very successfully in English with most of its trading partners. But as the worlds economic power shifts to emerging regions such as Asia, its language gap could soon be exposed. According to the new figures, less than 6.5 percent of high school graduates are proficient in an Asian language. Academics worry that this means Australia will increasingly be isolated from its economically important Asian neighbors. Dilip Dutta, from the economics and business faculty at Sydney University, says language skills can enhance trading opportunities. If Australians want to trade with Asian countries, it is very important for them to learn the language that will help them to get closer to the culture.

  4. But students have different opinions about Asian language learning Pippa McCowage, a 22-year-old Australian student, says many young Australians have a half-hearted approach to foreign languages, and the language curriculum is often weak. While were encouraged in high school to learn another language, its not really apparent to me as a realistic expectation that you will have to speak it, said McCowage. For example, I learned Japanese in high school, when I went on an exchange in Year 10, I found that the Japanese students of my age had a much greater proficiency in English than I did in Japanese. So in that sense, it almost discourages you.

  5. At present, about 70 percent of Australias major exports go to Asia and the Australian government has been keen on developing closer economic and diplomatic ties with Asia. Academics say that, as Asia becomes one of the worlds economic powerhouses, Australia needs to improve its language skills if it is to take full advantage of the business opportunities on its doorstep.

  1. How much percent of high school graduates were proficient in foreign languages forty years ago?

  A. 70. B) 13. C) 40. D) 6.5.

  2. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?

  A) Australia has rich deposits of minerals.

  B) Australia is essentially a self-sufficient country.

  C) Australia has no intention to trade with Asian countries.

  D) Australian students are not required to learn a foreign language.

  3.What does Dilip Dutta think language skills can do?

  A. Improve your relation with your partner.

  B. Help settle international conflicts.

  C. Remove barriers in negotiations.

  D. Increase trading opportunities.

  4. Why has the Australian government been keenly interested in strengthening ties with Asia?

  A) Because Asia is where Australia is located.

  B) Because Asia is where Australias major exports go.

  C) Because Asia is where Australians go and spend their holidays.

  C) Because Asia is where Australia can play a big role in international affairs.

  5. The word faculty in paragraph 3 can be replaced by _______.

  A) college. B) institute. C) university. D) department.

  解题目:Declining衰退的Interest兴趣 in Developing发展、开发 Foreign Language外语 Skills技能,所以串在一起可以将之理解成:逐渐丧失提高外语技能的兴趣。通过理解题目,我们可以推测一下,在文章中foreign languages和declining interest应是核心词。

  接下来,来看5道题的题目,对出题方式加以判断:1,3,4都是细节题,而2题是推断题;5题是词语释义题。针对不同出题方式的题目要以不同的方法加以应对。

  1. How much percent百分数of high school graduates were proficientin foreign languages forty years ago?

  A) 70. B)13. C) 40. D) 6.5.

  分析:这是细节题,关键词:high school graduates,forty years ago。位于第一题的位置,所以答案应该来源于第一段:

  Australias foreign language skills are declining, Voice of America has reported. New figuresshow that only 13 percent of high school graduates can speak a foreign language. But four decades ago, 40 percent had foreign language skills.

  2. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?

  A) Australia has rich deposits of minerals.

  B) Australia is essentially a self-sufficient country.

  C) Australia has no intention to trade with Asian countries.

  D) Australian students are not required to learn a foreign language.

  分析:题目中有infer,所以该题是推断题。因此,需要读第二段,寻找核心内容,主要是要找到关键句:

  Professor Elise Tipton, from the University of Sydney, says increasingly students do not feel the need to learn another language to boost their career. She believes that Australias economic boom, which is driven by red-hot demandfor its minerals矿物, is helping mask掩盖 serious deficiencies不足 in its language skills.

  注意:一般发现A、B、C、D四个选项中,哪个选项出现中心词,一般该选项就是正确答案。

  3.What does Dilip Dutta think language skills can do?

  A. Improve your relation with your partner.

  B. Help settle international conflicts.

  C. Remove barriers in negotiations.

  D. Increase trading opportunities.

  分析:这是一道标准的细节题,中心词就是:Dilip Dutta。带着它,我们可以在第三段里搜索到相关的语句:

  Dilip Dutta, from the economice and business faculty at Sydney University, says language skills can enhance trading opportunities. IF Australians want to trade with Asian countries, it is very important for them to learn the language that will help them to get closer to the culture.

  4. Why has the Australian government been keenly interested in strengthening tieswith Asia?

  A) Because Asia is where Australia is located.

  B) Because Asia is where Australias major exports go.

  C) Because Asia is where Australians go and spend their holidays.

  C) Because Asia is where Australia can play a big role in international affairs.

  分析:从题目的类型来说,一定是细节题,找到核心词:Australian government,keenly interested in,ties with Asia。我们会发现核心词没有出现在第四段中,而在最后一段中出现了:

  At present, about 70 percent of Australias major exports go to Asia and the Australian government has been keen on developing closer economic and diplomatic ties with Asia. Academics say that, as Asia becomes one of the worlds economic powerhouses, Australia needs to improve its language skills if it is to take full advantage of the business opportunities on its doorstep.

  5. The word faculty in paragraph 3 can be replaced by _______.

  A) college学院. B) institute学会、研究所

  C) university大学. D) department系.

  分析:这是一道词语释义题。大家可以自学库,也可以根据单词出现的前后文来判断:Dilip Dutta, from the economics and business faculty at Sydney University,。。。因为后面有...university, 因此自然想到是大学里的系。
