1. An impressive English lesson-1 1.4 Quiz
1、 The author thinks that students’ language deficits should be blamed on schools because the schools never teach grammar.
A:正确
B:错误
答案: 错误
分析：The author thinks that students’ language deficits should be blamed on shcools because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency.
(paragraph 7) Blame for the scandal of this language deficit should be trust upon our schools, which should be setting high standards of English language proficiency. Instead, they only teach a little grammar and even less advanced vocabulary.
2、 The schools fail to set high standards of English proficiency because the younger teachers don’t want to be tedious oddities in eyes of students.
A:正确
B:错误
答案: 错误
分析：The schools fail to set high standards of English porficiency because the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of vital structures of language.
(paragraph 7) Moreover, the younger teachers themselves evidently have little knowledge of these vital structures of language because they also went without exposure to them.

(paragraphs 8-10) Since grammar is boring to most of the young students, I think that it must be handled delicately, step by step.

B:错误
答案: 正确

(paragraph 12) The road map provides the framework and guidance you need for your trip, but it won’t tell you exactly what trees or flowers you will see, what kind of people you will encounter, or what types of feelings you will be experiencing on your journey. Here, the vocabulary makes the journey’s true colors come alive! A good vacabulary enables you to enjoy whatever you see as you drive along.

A:正确
B:错误
答案: 错误
分析：In the 4th paragraph, the civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and ramarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account. The students’ one single utterance of “whoa!” reflects his downturn in the proper use of language. In paragraph 17, the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, so the interjection “whoa!” reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also refelcts the authord’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his students, though in two different situations and with two different feeling.
