6、 mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “look-say”or “whole-word”method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively. The whole-word approach to reading s
7、tresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the self-directed, “learning how to learn”activities recommended by advocates
8、 (倡导者)of “open”classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these “Run-Spot-Run” readers. However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called “the great debate” in beginning reading.
9、 In his best-seller Why Johnny Cant Read, Flesch indicted(控诉)the nations public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmedthat another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics(语音学), is

16、阅读，发展认 识熟悉单词的能力超过发展认识不熟悉单词读音的能力。它适合于教室“开放” 的倡导者们所推荐 的自我指导的、“学习如何学习”的活动，也符合孩子们必须发展地准备开始阅读的理念。1963 年 以前的出版物都是教授使用全词阅读方法的。 然而，在 1955 年，Rudolf Flesch 点燃了开始阅读中的“伟大辩论”。在他的畅销书为什么 约翰尼不能阅读中，Flesch 控诉公立学校使用“看与说”的方法对学生进行错误的教育。他说， 另外一种建立在语音学基础上的开始阅读的方法要好得多。后来，Jeane Chall 和 Rovert Dykstra 证明了它是一种更学术性的学习方法。 首先，系统
17、语音教孩子们 把字母和字母组合与读音联系在一起。然后，教他们如何把这些读音 组合起来说话。 它传授给孩子们一种规则， 通过这种规则可以学会英语中绝大多数最常见单词的发音， 而不是把记忆中相对有限的单词堆积在一起。语音学并不是贬低思考单词和句子意义的重要性，它只 是承认把拼写和读音的关系用于阅读是合乎逻辑的、必要的第一步。 【答案解析】 62.【解析】C细节题。本题的线索是第一段的第二句话，其中的 relying on educators 与题干 中的 counting on educators 是相同的意思。 63.【解析】A细节题。作者先在第一段的最后一句说“look-say”或“whole
18、-word”的阅读教学 方法是失败的，第二段分析了这种方法失败的原因，是因为它“stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding .”。 64.【解析】D推断题。文章在最后一段谈到了 phonics method 的特点和好处，本题线索见该段 的第二句话“Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunci
19、ations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned”，可见这种方法能使学习者获得更大的词汇 量。 65.【解析】B词义题。本题要求利用上下文猜测单词的意思。根据第二段的最后一句，在 1963 年以前，出版的东西都是教授使用 whole-word 的方法的，紧接着用了转折词 however，说在 1955 年，Rudolf Flesch “touched off”一场争论，因此此处的 touch off 必然是“引起”的意思。 66. 解析】 推断题。 【 C 本题
20、要求有较好的综合能力才能做得既快又准。 从第二段中综合出 whole-word 阅读方法的特点：强调单词的意思，没有 decoding；由此即可知 B、D 是错的；在文章的最后一 句话，作者指出 Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences，所以 A 也是不对的。 翻译 Part Translation(5 minutes) Direction:Complete the sentences on Answer Sheet 2 by translating
