10.In today's China,exchanges between Chinese and English-speakers are increasingly frequent.English skills are important to Chinese if China wishes to play a stronger role on the world stage.However,the general English level of the Chinese people is on the decline.
China's ranking in the 2015 EF English Proficiency Index dropped 10 drops.It was ranked 47th out of 70 countries rated,and is now similar to several Latin American countries.The report triggered widespread discussion in China:in an increasingly international nation,why is the peoples'level of English getting worse?
A decline in the English level of the Chinese people is no accident.With China's exam-based education system,worsening English is unavoidable.English education in China is too focused on grammar and ignored oral practice.This results in students often being too scared to speak,for fear of making a mistake.Exam-based courses lead to the problem that students merely learn for the test,not learn the language.
In Latin America,nations do not have a rigorous exam system for English,but focus on promoting the language itself.Such programs that promote English include Chile's"English Opens Doors,"program,Panama's"Panama Bilingual Education Program,"and Mexico's"10 Million People Plan."Brazil,which also has a government program,is ranked first in the region for English.
The Chinese government should first think about how to reduce the amount of pressure on students taking exams in order to promote change in the current system of rote English education.This is the most important step.
Everyone has been recently focused on overseas returnees.The number of Chinese studying abroad has rapidly multiplied in past years.At the same time,the number of overseas returnees is increasing as well.The job market is also increasingly competitive for them and it is often more difficult for returnees to find a suitable job than it is for domestic graduates.
Difficulties and pressure in the job market for overseas returnees discourages a number of Chinese from studying abroad.As a result,the number of Chinese with high-level English,carefully perfected abroad,has been reduced.This could be a major reason for why English is getting worse overall in China.
While China's overall level of English has declined,it has not affected China's huge emphasis on English education and training.China remains one of the nations that is most committed to the study of English.
56.What does the writer want to do with this article?B
A.To advise the Chinese government to reform its exam-based education.
B.To analyze the reasons why China's general English level is on the decline.
C.To report the phenomenon that there is a decline in English level of Chinese people.
D.To compare the different ways of learning English between China and Latin America.
57.Which statement is FALSE according to the passage?C
A.Nations in Latin America has carried out some programs to promote the English language itself.
B.China has a rigorous exam system focusing on English grammar while ignoring oral practice.
C.The major reason why there is a decline of Chinese people's English level is that the Chinese  government no longer lays emphasis on English education and training.
D.In China,due to the competitive job job market these days,it's often easier for domestic  graduates to find a suitable job than overseas returnees.
58.What measure can help improve English level of Chinese people?D
A.Stopping testing English in the educational examination system.
B.Reducing the amount of pressure on students studying English.
C.Encouraging more students to study in Latin American countries.
D.Focusing more on expressive abilities and less on grammatical exams.

分析 在英語變得越來越重要的現(xiàn)代社會,中國人的英語水平卻越來越差,本文分析了這一現(xiàn)象的具體原因,并提出有效建議.

解答 56.B 主旨大意題.在文章第一段中提出現(xiàn)代社會中英語越來越重要了,但是中國人的英語水平卻在下降.在第二段最后一句The report triggered widespread discussion in China:in an increasingly international nation,why is the peoples'level of English getting worse?提出為什么中國人的英語水平在下降.接下來幾段中分析了原因.所以本文主要涉及的就是B項內(nèi)容.
57.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段While China's overall level of English has declined,it has not affected China's huge emphasis on English education and training.China remains one of the nations that is most committed to the study of English.可知盡管中國人的英語水平在下降,但是中國政府仍然很強調(diào)英語的重要性.故C項說法是錯誤的.
58.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章English education in China is too focused on grammar and ignored oral practice.This results in students often being too scared to speak,for fear of making a mistake.Exam-based courses lead to the problem that students merely learn for the test,not learn the language.可知中國的教育系統(tǒng)過于關(guān)注語法而忽略交際表達,如果想要提高中國人的英語水平,要更強調(diào)交際表達能力,而不是語法的能力.故D正確.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
