解析 细节理解题。从倒数第三段的内容可以看出,如果对该条例有任何评论的话可以以不同方式联系Rebecca J.Holt,由此可知B、C、D三项正确。A选项提到的Joseph Glover是倒数第二段涉及的信息,文中只表明他赞同该条例,而没有说可以找他发表评论。

  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.资*源%库

  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 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 have a poor command of English.

3.The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that ________.

A.the language of the younger generation is usually inferior 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
